East Side Club Or West Side Club

[rest8]

I will be traveling to NYC in about a week and thought about trying the the East or West side clubs. Any thoughts, feedback / insight or suggestions ?

So much of these places is who YOU are and what expectations you bring to them.  Your profile says you are a 32 year old versatle bottom.  If you have ever been to bathhouses in other major cities you will be amazed that these two places are the only options in NYC, a city you thought was full of gay men and great times.  Both are expensive and can be very empty. The time of day you elect to be there can have a huge effect on the experience you have.  I am always trying to find out when the good time to go, is.

The ESC is larger, three floors, a sauna, steamroom and lounge.  The WSC has one main floor and a second that is open sometimes.  No steam and the sauna may be open.  You can have a long wait for the hot water in the showers of either.  Sometimes the candy machines are filled, sometimes one computer will work and the tv will be on the channel chosen by management.  There are NO public areas for sex in either club.  Both pretend no sex happens on the premises and there are monitors to close your room door or throw you out if you are too open.  The ESC has a much older patron.  Not like hot daddies, like 300 pound 75 year old men who will look at you and say, no thanks.  The WSC has a younger crowd, but they are more likely to be there to buy drugs than to have sex.  Sometimes you will get lucky but more often than not you see temporary membership cards torn up and left on the stairs outside by men who went in expecting the stuff of porn stories and finding no satisfaction and a lot of men who don't really know how to enjoy cheap reckless sex anymore.

 If you have ever been to Steamworks in Chicago you will not believe that the only two NYC baths can be such shoddy, disappointing, backward places in the year 2014.

If you want to take a chance on the East Side Club, go early in the evening or even in the afternoon. Wednesday, when the office is open for membership, is probably the best of the weekdays.

I've lived in New York for 5 years and always travel for my bathhouse experiences.  NY is more of a sex party town.

dont waste your time going to either of them.... after going to steamworks in chicago nothing compares ... esc and wsc both are not worth it.. you will have more luck using grinder, jack , growlr, or scruff.

Go to a sex party. They are excellent in NYC and there are tons of them with all types of guys.
