This comes from the Philadelphia Weekly, I surmise one of those free papers found in major cities which usually tend to have tons of restaurant listings, liberal articles, and leanings.

David D'Amico, manager of Club Body Center, and hopes to create an "orgy room" with the bathhouse's unused pool.

In many respects David D'Amico might be just what Club Body Center needs. He's a stocky, constantly smiling man from Buffalo, N.Y., who calls other men "baby" and talks as straight-forwardly as a finger-poke to the chest. "Things were slipping here," he says. "The managers are fine, but sometimes a place needs attention from the owner."

Amazing the disconnect this guy has, things were slipping a long time ago for you guys.

Blood, feces? Nasteee.

"... and outlawed smoking and chewing gum upstairs-which he says made the place seem cheaper and dirtier."

Uh, Dave, I don't think that's what makes the place seem cheap and dirty.

Some men lie on their stomachs, advertising themselves as "bottoms" or receivers for anal sex.

These same people will be screaming that it's the fault of "society" when they have no T-cells left.

The problem is drug usage? Here I thought the problem was sex with complete strangers, sometimes a dozen a night. Now instead of condoms, lets just tell them to say NO....to drugs.

OK, everybody. Repeat after me. WE ALL HAVE AIDS!

Well I see it has the support of the co-chairman of Liberty City Democrats. SURPRISE

not. I wish all the democrats I know really knew what their party is up too. If the truth was out there would only be about 20% in this country voting democrat. My friends know nothing of this type of thing.

I didn't/couldn't read every word of this excretion - but I failed to notice mention of anyone actually taking a bath. Or even a shower.

Yeah gays are just like heterosexuals /sarcasm

I don't think I have ever read anything SOOOO disgusting. These type of articles need to become more mainstream. People would not be so willing "to live and let live" if they knew how truly guttural the gay man lifestyle really is.

... outlawed smoking and chewing gum upstairs-which he says made the place seem cheaper and dirtier.

How ironic. Go ahead and "ejaculate freely on the floor", but don't smoke or chew gum -- that makes the place "cheaper and dirtier". It's a mental disorder; it has to be. There's just no other explanation for it.

When I lived in California, there were joints like this in LA. I knew 2 people who became HIV+ by visiting them. No surprise. You have unprotected sex with 20+ people in one night, and that's what happens. I lived with a gay rooommate, and while neither he nor I went to these places, I've seen people do lines of cocaine right off the bar in gay joints and 14-year old boys just passed around from 50-year old guy to 50-year old guy. It's almost like you're in some surreal dreamworld and just want to throw up. Friend or not, I gave up going to these bars.

Pathetic, sad, and utterly ridiculous. I have no idea why these place are allowed to stay open and run a business

By concern is that bisexuals are unconcerned about unsuspecting heterosexuals they may have contact with.

But bathhouses also have their detractors.

Gee, I can't understand why. This is so wholesome.

Another article for the homosexual agenda ping list.

[wizardoz]

But D'Amico, 45, took a hands-on role at Club Body Center ...

uhm....

[NYjarcola]

This is just sick the devil is a busy man these days and these men get what they deserve if it's aids so be it. When will ppl. realize they are the problem and their behavior.

[MinuteGal]

....and you can bet that more taxpayers' dollars get applied to AIDS than to cancer.

Surreal.

Another revolting display of the homophilic lifestyle of love, enlightenment and understanding. Sarc

The most outspoken critic may be sex advice columnist Dan Savage, whose syndicated column appears in this paper. Says Savage: "My basic position is that if they traced as much disease to a Denny's as they can to a bathhouse, it would be closed in half an hour."
