I used to attend one over 15yrs ago. Was always nervous but extremely excited at the same time. I was experimenting then so only did the oral thing. Had fun at the time but now looking back, wish I had of experimented more.
I was nervous at first but ultimately one of my happiest experiences. It was liberating to be naked and fully erect among other men. I sat in a cubicle with a glory hole and sucked a few. The dark room is good fun too.
I circled around the block of one in my area several times. I just had nerves to actually park and go inside. I was too scared of STI's. Yet I did go to a naked at the door hotel party once. It was freeing with everyone being naked. Plus, we were all there to look and play, and this was a safe only gathering. Doesn't mean the 3 guys I sucked, or the 2 who sucked me were completely safe. But I figure the guys who are bareback only were less likely to bother with a safe only gathering. It was the first time I saw a guy get fucked, and get soit roasted!
Years ago I was single and curious go to a bath house. I had Benn bi for six years, still shy and uncertain about slot of things. I flew to a city where a friend had told me about a bathhouse. Checked into my hotel, got a taxi and felt like everyone knew what I was doing. The bell boy the concierge and certainly the taxi driver. I hadn't even thought to be dropped off nearby, I was dropped off in front of the place. I was alone taking my clothes off, slowly, hesitating about to turn around and go. I had come all this way, and I had a raging hard on. I put a towel around my waist and walked to the room and opened the door. There were five guys inside, towels not covering anything. Two guys were erect, all eyes on me, the new guy that just walked in. Don't know where I got the boldness from cause I certainly didn't feel it, but I pulled my towel off. I walked naked through the room, my six and a half inch cock achingly hard, pointing the way. I sat between two guys, one erect and slowly stroking, the other flaccid cock on his thigh. The guy with the hard on stopping stroking, looked right at me, made eye contact and smiled. My eyes went to his cock and then met his eyes. We sat like that for about a minute, A long time in a situation like that. The guy with the flaccid cock was getting erect slowly, not stroking himself just looking at me. I looked back at the guy with the hard on, he asked if he could feel mine. My mind was spinning and I meekly said okay. Here I was far from home, naked at a bathhouse with a stranger stroking my cock. I almost came right then. Looking at my penis as he stroked it the guy said you can play with it if you want to. Probably only two inches bigger but that's spot when it a penis. It took several minutes but we made each other cum, with the others watching and stroking themselves.
I always thoroughly enjoyed bathhouses. Everything I always wanted to do at a locker room, sauna, or hot tub, I got to do there.
There's a gay sauna less than 15 miles from where I live, I really want to try it out, but I'm too nervous. I'm trying to work up the courage to go next week when I'm off work. I'd love to go and just hang out with other naked guys, maybe suck a couple of cocks or whatever. But I just have this mental image that it will be full of men into bondage and leather gear who will laugh at my average sized cock and average looking body.
BTW the sauna is in Mansfield uk, I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has experience of it I'd be interested to hear.
I can totally relate. There is a bathhouse in my city. I have had plenty of opportunities to go there, but, I always find a reason not to go. I love playing with and sucking cocks. I always think of two excuses to not go. 1) I will probably be there when it's dead. 2) There will only be gay and aggressive men that only want anal. Maybe one day I will get over that.
I've always found guys at one, no matter what the time of day or night. You can actually say no to anyone there. The sauna and steam rooms are a great place to suck dick. Some have glory hole walls. Only one I went to had a dungeon room - which i enjoyed a lot I discovered.
My very first trip to one was for a sauna. I had no earthly idea it was a gay sauna. After a reach-around in the shower, the guy who asked if I'd like my back washed...was leading me to his room. I got fucked in my ass that night, by a proper cock...it was a wee bit painful. The only other guy that had fucked my ass back then, was also the guy who gave me my first orgasm and introduction to boy-boy sex. It wasn't until after I started playing with my toys, did I absolutely love going to bath houses and being a cum-slut bottom wanting hard cocks shooting their semen in my ass. Oh my....
I've been to bathhouses countless times in different cities that I lived since 1993, including Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, San Francisco, and New York City. I also finally lost my gay virginity, as a top, in a bathhouse in Berlin when I was visiting Germany in 2013--the greatest sexual experience of my life. The vast majority of sexual activity is cocksucking. If you are worried, you might find the odd aggressive gay guy, but as others have said, you just have to gently brush their hand away off of you to say no, and that is always accepted. If I had to guess, I would say bisexual guys, especially married ones, out number gay guys. Lunchtime and after midnight after the bars have closed are the busiest, and you want busy because the more guys there are, the more fun you will have. Yes, there can be lots of anonymous cocksucking in the saunas and nowadays in the mazes, including group scenes. But I have found for the most part guys are very shy in bathhouses, so it may take some effort on your part to initiate, especially during the slower times. And if you want, a guy you're having oral sex with and you could take it into one of the private rooms, especially for fucking. Always fuck with a condom in a bathhouse, even if you're on PrEP, to protect yourself from other STI's. But of course cocksucking is always unprotected, which in my opinion is safe from HIV, though not other STI's. In my 30 years visiting them, I've been very fortunate to never have caught an STI, and I have sucked hundreds of cocks. For the last 10 years I've mostly focussed on getting together with other guys in each other's homes using online hookup sites and apps. I want the deeper gay intimacy. But bathhouses can still be fun. When I take all my clothes off I already have a super hard-on, and the excitement level just goes up from there. The only thing I wish there was more of is complete nudity. I just hate how all the guys are walking around with their towels around their waist.
I’ve dreamed of going to an overtly gay bathhouse/sauna in the UK, but I’m nervous about catching an STI. If STIs weren’t a problem, I’d go to a gay sauna now.
Same here, but in the US. If STI's weren't a problem, I'd go every few weeks or preferably find a group of bi and gay buddies for private home or hotel parties. I read a book about therapy for gay, bi people from 2018. Apparently there is a stigma towards gay guys who go to the baths, and keeping it secret. Even the guys who go to the baths don't want to be with other guys who admit going? Similar to how men want to fuck a woman with a big sexual appetite who fucks lots of men. Yet they don't want to data a partner like that?! Both are kind of messed up ways of thinking!
