I went to a gay bathhouse last night, never again!

Honestly, it was one of the weirdest experiences I've ever had in my entire life. It cost about 30 dollars to enter the bathhouse. A bathhouse for those who don't know is basically a spa exclusively for gay and bisexual men. There is a locker room, a gym, shower area, a sauna, pool, and a hot tub. People there can also rent small rooms to engage in sex with strangers.

At first, I was really curious because I have never been to a place like that before. I was very curious. Anyway, the guys there were of various types. There weren't alot of effeminate gay men. 75 percent were masculine in appearance and mannerisms. However, there were only about 15 good-looking guys there out of maybe 50 men. Most of the guys there were over the age of 45 and were very out of shape.

My issue with it is how random strangers grab your private genital area without even introducing themselves. It has a very sleazy feel to it. People are pretty much having sex in their rooms with their doors open, so you can watch. The floors are very dirty and gross. I went their without sandals, so I basically stayed in the shower area because the floors were really gross.

The public areas were really dark, and you can't really see anything, so random creepy guys grab you and you have no idea who's doing that. Most of the good looking guys that I spoke to were very uncomfortable being there. They were being hit on left and right by older men, who are old enough to be either their fathers or their grandfathers. The good-looking guys that I spoke to were actually really nice guys for the most part.

Honestly, this place wasn't for me at all. I don't regret much in my life, but I regret going to this place. I will never go again. I don't know how all bathhouses are, but this one was very gross and disgusting. And none of the guys that I saw used protection, which was very disturbing. I bet alot of the guys who regularly go there have an STD. I'm just warning the younger gay crowd on here to be careful to go to a place like this. If you want to meet someone, the best bet is to join a gay group at school or college. When you go to place like this, you are pretty much seen as a peace of meat. The whole idea of a bathhouse from a fantasy standpoint seemed hot, but once I got there, I was so turned off, I actually contiplated being straight.

Anyone on here have any experiences?

 

Chip, the idea of going to a bathhouse was a huge turnon for me. However, after being there for like five minutes, it was a huge turnoff. Like I said, there were some really good-looking and fit guys, but those guys were not the type to engage in any promiscous sex, from what I could tell. I spoke to a few and they were more curious like I was than anything. They were more promisous than me but they weren't interested in hooking up with any guys there from what they I told me. I spoke to one guy who was in the Army. He was bisexual, and he was really quite creeped out as well. He was the best looking guy there and I think the constant attention given to him freaked him out.

There was three really hot European type guys there who, from what I can tell, were only looking for hookups, but they had a huge attitude problem and they were really rude to alot of guys there. Those three guys also seemed like they were stoned out of their mind. There was alot of drug taking there as well. A saw one really effeminate man engaging in anal sex in front of group of guys, and they both snorted cocaine in front of us. It was really creepy. It was kind of like seeing a car crash. You don't want to look, but you can't help yourself.

I also saw two guys engaging in anal sex in one of their rooms without wearing protection. That was so disturbing. It's amazing how even today people are willing to play Russion Roulette with their life. Aids is a serious disease. It does not discriminate and it doesn't grant mercy to those who have it. There were also alot of random orgies going on in one of the rooms with a whole bunch of men over the age of 50.

I wrote this, so I can warn the younger guys on here about being tempted to go to such a place. I don't know how all bathhouses are. This is the first and last one I will ever go to. I think that young gay guys can get easily tempted to go to such a place where sex is easily accessible. I'm almost 30 years old, so my hormones aren't in over-drive like they were when I was 18 or 19. If a lived by a gay bathhouse when I was that age, I probably would be even more tempted to go to such a place. If anything, just to see men engaging in sex.

Honestly, some fantasies are better kept as just fantasies at the end of the day. The idea of taking showers with hot gay men was a huge fantasy of mine, but in reality, even though there were some hot gay and bi men there, never matched the fantasy that I originally had. I left there feeling sleazy and dirty. So, I just want to warn the young people on this board to be very careful where you go.

 

radiantdawn -- I'm glad I persueded you to not go to such a place. Honestly, I kind felt ashamed of being a gay male after going there. I'm not ashamed today because I realize alot of gay men aren't like that, but for that brief moment leaving the bathhouse, I was very ashamed. It was an interesting experience. It was like seeing a whole underground culture that I never seen before. However, even though, I didn't engage in sex with anyone, I still felt dirty for being there. It's not the place for someone with morals.
