Steamworks Chicago is boring as hell

Are you *just now* figuring out that most gay men are bottoms?

Bless your heart.

You’re one of the bottoms, OP.

This breaks my heart.

Chicago's Steamworks is filled with boring bottoms. Here's why that's trouble for the Democrats in the upcoming midterms and beyond.

It’s because all the tops have been “groomed” by the Transtapo into fucking FTM gash.

I got a hot BJ while I stood in the stall once

I love that OP is a bottom furiously whining that other men are bottoms!

OP, wouldn't the most sensible solution be that you teach yourself to be versatile? or do you somehow think tops are somehow all congregating in the mythical city of Toppapolis?

Much as I know it's problematic to make generalizations, I do see Chicago men being a little bit different in terms of appearance.

Whiter, for sure. Also there was a larger proportion of bearded men having daddy bods. I think it's related to the frontier culture. By the same token, people here tend to prefer rugged men who are giving the vibe of being naturally masculine. If you are a pretty boy or "six-pack"gym rat, you probably would find yourself more popular elsewhere.

Anyway, I thought there would be more deeply closeted married guys here since Chicago is the hub of the Midwest. I have seen a lot of positive feedback about Steamworks Chicago from DLers who kept perpetuating the myth of corn-fed Midwest cocks.

Just a heads-up for those who want to check out the place.

A REAL top would not have posted this, OP.

Maybe if you didn't go to Steamworks for the Early Bird special you would find more dick to your liking, OP. Most of those places aren't happening until after midnight.

R2 beat me to it. The irony of a bottom going somewhere and complaining there are other bottoms there! You're part of the problem by refusing to top.

Did they ever get rid of that infamous nacreous layer of permacum in the steam room there?

[quote] Whiter, for sure.

Whiter than what? Chicago is more than 28% black, while the whole US is only 12.4% black.

Whore !

I didn't get laid, and it's the fault of the entire city of Chicago!

have you heard a new contagious disease called Monkey Pox?

I bet there were other guys in there who would have topped you that you ignored because they didn't fit your fantasy of what you wanted.

Beggars can't be choosers.

The only time I was there, there were probably three GHB overdoses in the span of an evening. This one tragic twink was standing in one of the hallways, butt nekkid, letting out a non-stop scream like I've never heard before. That was one of my "been-there-done-that" moments.

R20 - I think you are confusing SteamWorks with Man's Country (which is now permanently closed). MC had that kind of thing happen a lot. SW, not so much.

I guess all the tops were lost in the AIDS epidemic. All that’s left are 99.99999% bottoms.

I'm a top and never understood why guys can't top. I would and have been working on my bottoming skills to be verse but it's madness how many gay men act like they have clits and can't seem to top. What's up with that bullshit.

That theory is ass backwards, R22.

One part of the problem is just having guys be able to maintain an erection r23. Between substances people take and masturbation/porn addiction that's pretty widespread this days, that's not a given. Bottoming is less pressure, no need to worry about that.

The other is of course a lot of guys get off on being fucked, on being dominated by a man. It's basically against their nature to be the one fucking.

I think it's the outcome of the society being too liberal. Most of the tops in America are like R23. They are interested in exploring the anal fun.

So it's only a matter of time before some versatile introduces them to that role and make the vers too.

Most of the pure tops here are immigrants, especially those who can't speak English.

R21, it was indeed Steamworks. It was during Fireball weekend in the early 2000s.

I saw a great tiktok the other day that put it perfectly: There is no shortage of tops in the world, just an over abundance of bottoms unwilling to be topped by fats and femmes.

r26, r23 here, yes I can be interested in anal action but outside of a medical issue I won't ever pretend that I can't top like so many gay men. Strict bottoms are actually a turn off because if I wanted that, I'd be fucking women. I think the give and take is hot, which is why I've tried to be more open about bottoming for guys into that. But strict bottoms just don't make sense to me cause you have a dick, use it hoe!

True, most bottoms assume that position to better bark orders. The best thing about spit roasting is it blocks the incessant complaining.

Bossy bottoms make me think of my mother's default setting: You'll eat what you get and you'll like or you won't get nothin'.

Early 2000s, r27, you're barely posting from this century.

I was at the East side club in Manhattan a few years back, and a hot guy walked into my stall and pulled off his towel to reveal a big fat dick. I reached out to grab it so I could suck it, but he gently pushed my hand away, shook his head no, wrapped his towel back around himself and left. He wanted to fuck and nothing else.

Typical fucking gay man.

If you want a top or someone to suck, you have to go to the burbs or out in BFE and find a married or so called "straight" man wandering around an adult bookstore.

I’m with you, r23. Top, with a boyfriend who is also a top, and several ex-boyfriends who were also tops.

It’s not like it’s difficult or unenjoyable.

Should I feel guilty for taking hot, eligible tops off the market when there are so many needy (greedy) bottoms out there? Should we start a charity? For only $1 a day, less than a cup of coffee, we can get the Connors and the Brayden’s the life-saving, he-man daddy tops they all desperately need?

Pssh. Buy a vibrator, you bottom bitches!

R21 R32 is the owner of steam works

Is it true that at the franchise convention everybody walks around the block a couple times before going up to the Steamworks booth?

I could get HIV AND monkey pox just reading this thread. I'm sure most of you have either one or both already. Pure filth, if you ask me.

Don't know what you mean r37 but the Steamworks booth during Pride Fest and Market Days is the great fun with twister and other games. No ones ashamed to see them in the light, it's going inside the place that's tricky cause you can run into a friend on the street during your entrance or exit.

I admire your honesty, Rose. And given how far over your head that went, I admit I'd like to see you limbo.

I'm the fattest AND queeniest person that ever, ever lived!

You guys are pretending Vers are neutral while, in reality, most of them prefer to bottom.

Those who currently identify themselves as vers Tops will become vers Bottoms once they get more anal experiences.

It's almost an irreversible process . Psychologically , being gay means you are attracted to men and are therefore more likely to embrace the role of "women".

OP, bottom, complains about excess of bottoms, with no irony or awareness. Bravo.

Well OP wat did you expect it's never been the same since Jussie Smollett stopped going there

[quote]Psychologically , being gay means you are attracted to men and are therefore more likely to embrace the role of "women".

This is Top erasure!! Literal violence!

This phenomenon, of there not being enough dominant men, also exists in Straightsville. I have heard almost this exact same complaint from more than a few straight woman friends and am now genuinely curious as to what's going on here. Why the imbalance between those who want to BE fucked (topped, dominated etc.) and those who want to DO the fucking? Is there some evolutionary advantage to having too many non-sexually-dominant males?

In western society the idea of an aggressive, dominant man is outdated r46. We discourage that type of wannabe alpha male personality and encourage men to be more thoughtful.

I don't think that really has anything to do with there being more gay guys who like to bottom though.

I disagree r34. In my experience a lot of bicurious "straight men" who wants to try anal sex want to bottom. I mean they can top with a woman.

I’ve been to Toppapolis, but I’ve never been to me!

“There are no ugly tops, only lazy bottoms.”

[quote]I’ve been to Toppapolis, but I’ve never been to me!

Up the aisle of grease.

Two comments:

1) R4 is the NYT Pitchbot

2) how does one pronounce “Toppapolis”?

I have never failed to have numerous men want to fuck me wherever I go around the world. If you've been blessed with a beautiful bubble butt and you're cute, then guys will line up for it. Other bottoms will also want to fuck you if you have a nice ass.

The bottoms who complain that they're aren't enough Tops out there just don't have nice butts.

R48 I disagree with your disagreement. That hasn't been my experience at all.

[quote]In western society the idea of an aggressive, dominant man is outdated [R46].

In a practical sense, perhaps. It's true we no longer need big strong men to manhandle the livestock, harvest the crops, build the houses. To some extent, if a country has a lot of high tech weaponry (like the US), we don't even need them to fight the wars anymore. But damn have we utterly failed to stop being attracted to them. Gay men, straight women, the vast majority of both want nothing more than to be fucked hard by a hard man.

[quote]We discourage that type of wannabe alpha male personality and encourage men to be more thoughtful.

Wannabe alpha males sure. No one is attracted to them. But actual alpha males? See my comment above about wanting to be fucked by hard men. And who says an alpha male cannot be thoughtful?

We've moved on in some ways, but our naughty bits haven't. The dick/pussy wants what it wants.

OP - what the hell - you'd think there would be more closeted married men at Steamworks because...Chicago is in the Midwest?

Oh go fuck off. How can you be so ignorant and condescending?

After bi/straight guys started getting on the receiving end of buttplay, now they're all bottoms.

Well, at least the staff revived you with your smelling salts after your dramatic disappointment.

OP who goes to bath houses now post COVID especially when there's with Grindr?

[quote]Gay men, straight women, the vast majority of both want nothing more than to be fucked hard by a hard man.

Thank you. I think this perfectly explains the dearth of available tops. Bottoms want tops. Tops want bottoms but they also want tops. Two-top households are not that uncommon. Some guys want to be big and manly tops who want big and manly tops.

I still don’t know why more guys aren’t tops, though. It seems (to me at least) like we’re still all hardwired to want to stick our dick in *something*.

???

Because they're lazy and selfish, R61, like most people.

R61- I'm a top and my favorite sexual activity is getting a blowjob. I do like fucking a guy too - sometimes.

#Uglybottomproblems

Just visited Steamworks on Friday night. Very quiet and boring. Overrun with bottoms. You can rest assured about Monkeypox. You probably won't get intimate contact here anyway.

If I owned a bathhouse I'd put some tops on the payroll and have them secretly whore out for the night, like stocking a pay fishing lake with bass. Even if they couldn't manage to fuck everyone, at least enough guys would spread the word that they got a good dicking at my place.

What does a two-top household do for fun? Watch each other work and do critiques?

R65- And I have no doubt that YOU are one of the bottoms that Steamworks was overrun with last night.

I'm SIXTY, was there 2 weeks ago, and had a great time! What the hell is all this complaining about?
