first night at the bath house

Aug 22, 2010 20:23

When I came out as a gay man there were a few lines I thought I'd never cross. I was young then (25), still fairly entrenched in fundy, evangelical Xian morality and I didn't know more than 2 or 3 gay people. The

Club z is absolutely disgusting and usually smells like g
feces. Basic plumbing (now called tribe) is more of a blow job place I think. If you choose steamworks, I will be there from 8pm til 4am 5 nights a week ad the night manager... So that would probably make you more comfortable

Once I go to a place a couple times I am sure I'll get used to it. I'll let you know next time I am at SW. I'll see you Thurs in the U Dist!

As a reviewer, you aren't exactly a disinterested party... :-P

God, I would have been terrified. At heart, I am still a total prude.

I almost went to one in my early 20's and I chickened out. Now I live far far away from anything like that. :)
I admire your bravery to go in and see it. I am not moralistic but it;s about my own self esteem and not having a frame of reference for it. I have had orgies, public sex, etc. But a bath house seems different, mysterious.

Thanks for the story.

Heh. I've been to sex clubs but never to a bathhouse proper. (They closed all of them here in San Francisco in the mid 80s and they never came back.) Not all of ones I went to were totally dark, but they're usually a bit dimmer--sometimes more like dance club lighting (but less blinky.)

And you should totally try a Craiglist missed connection with the furry flasher guy. Would at least be interesting blog fodder.

Oh, I should do a missed connection on CL. Good idea! It wasn't totally dark in every area but it was dim, like you said, as a club or something like that. Once my eyes got adjusted it was better. There were some areas still pretty dark though.
