Gay baths — still a haven for unprotected sex?

NEW YORK - Wearing just a small white towel and a smile, Bob prowls the dark halls of the East Side Club, looking into dozens of its closet-sized rooms and hoping eye contact with another man will lead to sex.

I'm sure the wives would be thrilled to know what hubby has been up to, assuming this is true.

That would be quite an assumption, much like the one that says 10% of the population is gay, or the one that "homophobes" are really self-hating gays.

Sounds to me like someone wanting to normalize his own aberrant behavior.

Gay baths Prisons — still a haven for unprotected sex?

[lakeman]

is a frogs butt watertight?

Loud techno music?
Now I KNOW I won't be going to those bathhouses!

[dfwgator]

Maybe because so many married men go to places like this it's a public health issue.

List - don't have time to read it at the moment...

“At least bathhouses are public and a place where you can educate people about disease prevention,” said John Riley, of the New York chapter of ACT UP, an AIDS activist group.

I'd guess the only "educating" this guy does, is done while his head is crammed in the corner of a filthy 6x8, his posterior in the air and not really caring who or what is behind him making him bite the pillow

Just something else to think of when looking at the guy sitting next me on the New Haven line when pulling out of Grand Central.

This, I assume, is the little-reported side-effect of that "swelling of pride" Bob gets from popping Enzyte like they're just so many TicTacs.

Just south of San Francisco on highway 280 is a scenic vista / rest area. It has a beautiful view of the watershed area and is only accessible from the freeway. Except for me, who could ride thru on my mtn bike on my way to other places via a trail. whenever I passed thru I got the weirdest feeling from all the guys sitting in their cars ostensibly reading newspapers or eating lunch, but in actuality giving me creepy looks and hoping for a gay sex hook-up.

I asked my gay acquaintance why they don't just go to the bath houses for their dose of hairy gay butt, and he said it's because that's where the married men go for their butt piracy, so as to keep it on the down low.

Geeze,the first thing that occurs to me when reading this is....what did *his* virgins look like???

[socialismisinsidious]

The theme in this entire article is 'how much safer' bath houses are.....hello?! why did bath houses shut down in the 80s? b/c they were unsafe: AIDs and STDs -- those diseases have not gone away. They are saying that bath houses make anonymous sex safer...what a crock; the facility does not make anonymous sex safe.
The real purpose of this article is to give weight and acceptance to this kind of behavior when in reality it is nothing but an excuse for sleezing.

This thread is gay.

One of the forest preserves near where I live has been absolutely overrun by those creeps. I've learned not to back (ahem) my car into a parking spot as that is the "signal." I've come to appreciate the place being flooded by Mexicans playing loud ranchero music on the weekends . . . at least they bring the wife and kids.

And no, I will not stop going. It's one of the few places in the NW Chicago suburbs where one can chill-out out doors and (legally) have a beer.
