Gay Sauna, Homosexual Steam Room, Gay Onsen, Gay Bathhouse. These are all the same names for a quintessential part of gay culture: a venue where men proceed to have sex with men. Pure, hypersexual, steamy, erotic SEX.
While globally same-sex attracted saunas have been decimated by hookup apps enjoy Grindr and Scruff (and an increased cultural acceptance of the LGBT community), many guys still delight in the anonymity, the social environment, the facilities, or the ease of access these venues provide.
In proof, in some parts of the world, principally Western Europe and Asia, recent high-end gay saunas are opening, and their popularity seems to be growing again! And with this fashionableness, a new generation of gays is becoming intrigued, wondering: what happens in a gay sauna?
So, if you have landed here on this website, we assume you are considering having your first-time gay sauna experience. Or just want to brush up on your homosexual sauna etiquette. We are not prudes; we are sex-positive and encourage everyone curious to
Lately I have been charting my progress (or lack thereof) in my bids to rejoin gay world. In what is becoming an increasingly difficult practice, I found that I have been beating around the proverbial bush for too long.
I knew I had to up the ante. I would necessitate to leave the comfort of my isolated planet behind and seek out a new frontier.
The Queer Bathhouse has been an object of awe, myth and great speculation for me ever since I first heard they existed.
I don&#;t even know how common it is for gay men to stop by bathhouses. However, no exploration of gay life would be complete without a visit to one of these mythic fortresses.
The greatest challenge I faced was getting my damn feet through the front door. The first night I planned on going, I chickened out and ran home to watch several episodes of Dynasty, instead.

The second night, I could not find the place and was far too nervous to try locating the address.
And so it was upon my third trial, that I finally braved my fears and misgivings
A Gay Trek Across Europe, Day 5: My Very First Gay Sauna Experience
I walked past the entrance a number of times. Its inconspicuous, black façade helps with discretion … almost too well. When I entered the gay sauna on my fifth night of traversing through Europe, now in Brussels, I handed the man behind the glass my money and he didn’t say a synonyms. Neither did I. He simply gave me a locker key, towels and pointed me downstairs. The music was mellow, European house music. There was a constant thumpa-thumpa, without being overbearing. In truth, it was oddly soothing.
This space is called Macho Sauna, and it’s the first gay sauna I’ve ever been to in my life. To tell it was life-changing would be slight hyperbole, but I will say I have a much enhanced sense of how cruising culture was prior to gay apps and the closure of dark rooms and saunas in many parts of the Joined States.
Macho is the biggest gay sauna in Brussels, with a whopping six floors. The first floor is comprised of locker rooms. The second includes a pool, bar (where you can order nourishment and drinks), a Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and showers. Floors three through five have private rooms for hooking up. Many have gay p
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 own 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 consecrated 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 dial 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
