How fucking depressing is that?? I've never thought about it in those god awful terms. That sucks a tiny, flacid, and cold micro-penis. I had just planned my every couple of months or so weekend bathhouse getaway when this shit went down....so I was due to begin with. I only embraced my inner slut a few years ago so I'm a 47 yo with a lot of catching up to do! The thought had occurred to me that the days of bath houses might be a thing of the past if not for any other reason than by the time we can crawl out from under our rocks and return a lot businesses will've gone under. I don't know much about the bath house business but I imagine the overhead is huge and the profits are low. The cost of pool and steam room maintaince alone can't be cheap, plus labor costs. Hell, the cost of disinfectants (pre-covid19 at that) alone must be through the roof because I'm sure they had to use the best virus and bacteria -cides on the market. (Sidenote: by the way 'Bathhouse Fresh' is the sexiest smell in the world! If I could bottle it and sell it I'd be a rich man and talk about cheap overhead...bleach, cum, and a bottle.....and I can provide one of those free....two if I can use old, empty lube bottles! I haven't thought about it or anything.....ok, yes I have!) However on the other hand, I also can't imagine a business thats so specific to its intended use being used for anything else. I guess maybe a huge day spa...just have fun explaining all those closets with beds on the second and third floors. You could repurpose the maze into a hide'n go seek romper room for toddlers (thats depressing!)....the sling becomes a swing (suicidally depressing!). But thats it. I can't imagine it being use for any other purpose. Conversely, I also can't imagine it just collecting dust an falling into disrepair. Sp I guess it just falls into the category with everything else...we'll just have to wait and see. But there is one thing I do know, and I'm willing to bet my entire future "Bathhouse Fresh" fragrance fortune on (or should I call it simply 'Cum 'n Bleach...I don't know, we'll see...?) is that men are going to fuck...eventually. Why did I waste all those years being a tight ass prude? I live in New Orleans once the most decadent city in the world. We once had two bath houses, one survived KATRINA! The other 'tub' closed only a few years ago getting. caught up in the real estate regentrification novement. Both no longer exist. We had a plethora of bars with back rooms ready available 24/7 and a few places that didn't even bother with a backroom. "Here, let me move my tip jar and you can catch that load right here on the bar...and hurry it up, I get off in 20 minutes." But due to in-house community gay vs. gay politics those places are now boring and bright discos and or piano bars that a does something nightly called a Last Call. I'm not sure what that is. What I do know is that if you wanted to waste your prudish life away and squander many chances of being a busy slut... this was the perfect time and place to do it! But don't worry, I did it for you, congrats you're off the hook! At least we still have all those reliable apps and reliable websites filled with very, very reliable profiles that are just lined up and ready to satisfy your slutty needs.....which we all know is a crock of reliable bullshit. And now to read 'probably years' before a return to the norm, and you're probably right about that...its just all so depressing I can't hardly stand it. "Hey buddy, at least you're still alive and we-.." Finish that god damn sentence and I swear to god I'll shove that bumper sticker so far up your ass you won't see it for two weeks! This weekend would have been my every couple of months or so weekend bathhouse getaway and I could very well be getting gangbanged right now. But I'm not so I'm going to go have another bowl of vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinks for breakfast...because why the fuck not?? If anyone knows anything about the future of Club Houston or anything about the future in general please feel free.....
