What was the name of the 1st gay bathhouse you ever visited, and where was it.

The first bathhouse I visited was The Water-Garden in San Jose

I remember getting loaded all night the first time I went and running into a classmate -- we both sucked up a sleazy top. 

I was also there the night they closed for good, right when covid was declared 

RIP ...

 1998 - The Club in New Orleans a few blocks from Bourbon St. I was in town for a convention.  Been to several since but most of them are gone (2 in Denver) since Covid.

I used to go workout out a Gym House after work - had weights - pool - steam bath - regular !  Late in the steam bath - became friends - having a few drinks / food with the guys . then they invited me to their favorite club - health place - soon I realized it was mostly Gay guys - starting to really enjoying myself !

Water Garden was also my first bathhouse.  It was great at lunch time and had a lot of fun there.

My first bathhouse was Club Body Center in Philadelphia, which is now Club Philly. Went a couple weeks after I turned 18 and then when I went to college in Philly, I used to walk to the Sansom St Gym and all the black tops loved my little white twink ass, lol

My 1st was in Toronto Canada, but I don't remember the name. We're talking 40 years ago. I think it was in the basement off Wellesley St., just east of Church. 

Mine was the same one. I got bred in the dark hallway in the back by a beautiful cocked daddy. Was heaven. That olace was called the Cellar. I misss it

This too was my first, and only, bathhouse. Club Columbus. I've been back many times. Love it there, but I would also like to try out some other ones.

Between the 1920s and 2003, when it was closed by New York City officials, the Mt. Morris Baths was an important social center for gay African-American men and one of the longest operating bathhouses in New York City.

I would love to have been there the day James Baldwin showed up with Marlon Brando. The conversation and sex would have been mind blowing.
