The Freddie Guide to: Bathhouses
What is a bathhouse?
Bathhouses – also known as baths, saunas, or gay saunas – are spaces where queer men* meet to socialise, relax and possess sex. They are legal, licensed sex venues, as opposed to regular saunas or steam rooms where people cruise.
The number of gay bathhouses in North America peaked in the s. Most of them closed in the s, as local governments made public health rules to curb the HIV/AIDS epidemic. These rules were often rooted in homophobia.
Today, there are still bathhouses in most major cities across the world. You can find them through Google or on cruising sites like Squirt and Sniffies.
* Historically, bathhouses only admitted cisgender men. They are generally becoming more inclusive. Many have more relaxed door policies or devoted times and events that are safer spaces for trans and non-binary people. If this applies to you, it’s best to check online or notify ahead before visiting a venue for the first time.
When you arrive
When you arrive at a bathhouse, you’ll get to a front desk with an attendant. This is where you’ll pay for your entry along with any extras like private rooms (if the venue has them
Did you know that men have been cruising each other for sex at bathhouses since the 15th century?
While the original intention of men&#;s bathhouses may have been hygiene, today’s gay bathhouses or saunas, along with other types of sex-on-premises-venue (SOPV) or sex venues, are intended as places where you can meet others for casual sex. SOPVs propose a place to search and play with a wider variety of people, many of whom might not appear on a dating app grid.
Walking around a gay sauna or SOPV, you might instantly realise a whole fresh set of rules is at play; with everything from navigating consent to being comfortable in a sexualised space, there can be a lot to learn. Here’s what you should know before heading into a sex venue for the first time.
How does a gay sauna operate?
Like a hotel, you’ll arrive at your venue, and there will be a front desk where you’ll pay an admission fee, and in send back, you’ll receive a locker key and a towel.
From there, it’s a matter of heading to the changerooms to change into the towel and store your clothes in a locker. Upon arriving, many people will also shower to freshen up, and many venues may hold douching facilities if you want to pr
Make Gay Saunas More Social for Seniors
Gay saunas work some terrific themed nights, though no Australian sauna seemingly offers afternoon-themed events for gay and bi Seniors.
Yet that&#;s when we, the retired older men, are available. We&#;re looking for both sexual AND social interaction. And saunas ideally offer both.
And here&#;s the rationale for themed events for queer and bi seniors:
- Many older mature-age gents are still sex-driven. We want sex at some level and to be part of the scene where it happens.
- Meeting twice a month, in the middle of the day, keeps the event both special and desirable. Having it more often reduces the numbers and defeats the group&#;s socialising purpose.
- Entice us there with some bonus extras like FREE snacks and half-price drinks. That also implies mixing with others while we eat &#; and is seen as good value for our admission price.
- Online forum participants frequently express an interest in regular wank group/circle jerk activities when anal sex is a step too far. Tentative married bi-men want to gather, converse and play with like-minded others &#; and this activity is currently not offered elsewhere.
