Bathhouses are opening again

Has anyone here gone since the pandemic?

What’s it like nowadays?

by Anonymousreply 40April 22, 2022 1:01 AM

Anyone?

Just went last night for my very first time! I was relieved to not find any antiseptic fog machines in use. I don't really have anything to compare to from pre-covid times but I want to go back!

Last time I was in a bathhouse was in LA, right after I moved there for work-early 1990's(before I moved down to La Jolla) I don't remember the name but I walked into the sauna, and Tom Selleck was being spit-roasted(and their was a line for both holes) I saw him in another bathhouse in Chicago years earlier. How he didn't get infected by HIV should be studied by the CDC, and why didn't the press destroy Tom for being GAY, everyone knew about Tom Selleck.

R3, there is no way Selleck was at a bath house.

I knew him. He was very closeted. Yes, we had sex twice. He liked to give and get oral. I didn’t like his oral abilities that much. I remember he had one tooth in the back of his mouth that kept scratching my dick head. Why to I remember that detail? Because I was having sex with Tom Selleck!

Club San Diego is open. Looking forward to going back.

I doubt many people are going nowadays despite their being open.

I figure by the end of summer, the eldergays will start attending again

To R-4...He wasn't that "Closeted"!! Tom was a "well-known Faggot" on Sunset(discreet but everyone that counted in LA knew who he was) I figured Tom had his own "Fairy Gaymother...his own Weinstein)

East Side Club NYC is reopening on June 24. The website says you have to have proof of being vaccinated from Covid.

Unfortunately West Side Club NYC is out of business. One is certainly better than none.

They require that you practice social fistancing.

I hope something opens up to replace the Crew Club in DC.

R10 I guess I’ll just have to suck them off with my eyes.

I posted the following in the "Are you all hooking up again?" thread: I broke a self-imposed dry-spell last weekend and went to a bath house. M'eh. Glad I got my cock sucked several times and happily I met a bottom who wanted me to smack his ass, fuck him and enjoyed talking dirty. He let me cum on his face.

What was "m'eh" was that there were not many men actively cruising; too many fat guys just sitting in their rooms with the door open. Pickings were slim.

Don't think I'll be heading back for a long time...

R13- What city was hit bathhouse in ?

Best bathhouse I’ve ever been to was in Munich. It was enormous, brilliantly run and I had the best wiener schnitzel there I’ve ever had in my life. The veal kind.

Steamworks in Chicago opens tomorrow June 17th. You show your vaccination card and you get a 3 month free membership.

I need to get fucked. It's been too long.

I wonder how many of those old queens at the East Side Baths in Manhattan died of the Rona.

by Anonymousreply 18June 16, 2021 10:13 PM

Just think six months ago, it was safer to go condomless than maskless.

by Anonymousreply 19June 16, 2021 10:18 PM

Tom Selleck getting spitroasted at the baths? That is some pre-Cambrian tea for sure.

by Anonymousreply 20June 16, 2021 11:24 PM

The thought of them makes me want to vomit - so no, haven’t gone. Ever.

R14 - R13 here, I will/should be properly slut-shamed for driving to Providence, RI and spend several hours at Mega-Plex.

BTW - Providence has two bath houses and. based upon my options Saturday evening (7:30 - 10:30pm) if I make the drive again, I'm trying Club Body Center.

I read this as "Buttholes are open again..."

East Side Club survived but West Side Club didn't??

They were both sad, pathetic places because the owners rarely, if ever, renovated and updated.

ESC is usually full of decaying old men. WSC had hotties in its day, but that dwindled quickly in recent years to almost nothing. WSC had restrictive rules like you can't rent a room unless you're a full-fledged member. Plus, the front entry people were often such assholes.

It's been a few years since I've gone to either but those visits were so unmemorable that I knew I'd never go back. I'm surprised that WSC didn't survive, but, thinking about it, it made its own grave. ESC can't be far behind. Bath houses in other cities are so much more modern.

Maybe the real estate is so valuable that it made sense to sell rather than reopen.

Flex in Atlanta has been rather busy.

Club Ft Lauderdale has been open for months.

steamworks for the win

by Anonymousreply 27June 17, 2021 1:52 PM

The Gay male population is getting older, fatter and uglier. The new thang is fluid/bi/queer/questioning, where they fuck anyone who is hot- male or female. Nobody wants to be Brucie with a handlebar mustache and a color-coded hanky hanging out of his too-tight jeans, looking for a Crisco* fist gangbang.

R16 Do tell, what is the name?

And @all, don't go, you'll get Aids!

Am I going to see FTM with front holes if I go back to the baths after Covid, R28?

[quote] The new thang is fluid/bi/queer/questioning,

In other words, closet queens. You're gay honey, no matter what newfangled closeting label you decide to don.

Not if vaccinated, silly

Steamworks in Chicago is the best I've ever been too--but the last time I went was over a decade ago.

What is the big deal, can’t you just shower at home?

Yes Rose, but I prefer to bathe.

R22 How much does Club Body Center cost? Does it need a membership?

by Anonymousreply 38April 21, 2022 10:45 PM

R37, R38, why post to a thread where half the replies are red-lined out throwaway comments? Are you returning to your old troll haunts?
