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

Steamworks in Chicago is not ashamed of what it is, it’s a beautiful place and you could spend a whole weekend there easily. There’s food and a fireplace, they have even made convenient personal douching options available.  I’d love to have a chance to visit the other Steamworks but haven’t had a chance yet. If there is any future for these institutions of gayness, Steamworks leads the way.

The Pleasure dome London 2014. I was way to nervous, I stripped my cloths off and went into the shower, eye closed, resting my head against the wall building up courage to head into the spa. 

Next thing I know a guy is behind me with his hard cock rubbing up and down my bum crack. I froze in panic, didn't know what to do. He reached round and started playing with my stiff cock. Then it happened, his cock pushed into my hole, I was still frozen in panic but with his cock pushing deeper into me my brain switched off. He then started to fuck me and with no mental control I just moaned. Time stopped other than the rhythm of his cock moving like a piston in and out of my hole. My mind woke up and was screaming he not wearing a condom. I then shocked myself by pushing back. That was it, he pushes my head down and started pounding my hole, he then flooded me deep inside with is anonymous, risky, cum. I was delirious, still facing the wall. He pulled out his cock and patted my arse then left. 

How times have changed, I'm now a BB only, regular spa visiter wherever there is one. No cock refused.

You may be somewhat disappointed with SteamWorks in Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC. It is a regional problem with attitudes toward casual gay sex rather than a problem with the bathhouses themselves. The now closed Victoria, BC location suffered the same lack of sex.

In Seattle I’ve heard that Club Z is a lot of fun, maybe not as nice as Steamworks tries to be, but coming from a tiny backwater town like New York City we aren’t able to chose one of two clubs anymore.  Does Steamworks adher to a set standard or have they just taken random venues under their umbrella, much like the Club Bath chain did decades ago

Bodyline wollongabba is my first then the beat was a night club then Bodyline wollongabba closed and reopened in westend then it closed. As wet spa and sauna is the only place that is still open today. As the others were open when wet spa and sauna were open but stood up to the length of time to be still open for as many decades. Now.

I would say Steamworks has a set standard. They're much cleaner than any New York City bathhouse could have ever been and Steamworks has a much more European feel to them. I've been to the ones in Chicago, Berkeley and Seattle. They're all well-kept. But coming from New York, seeing no rats, no roaches or shit-stained towels - anything is an upgrade.

There was a Steamworks in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I'm not sure when it closed down.

Club Z may have a little more activity than Steamworks, but they both suffer from the regional attitudes on sex. You won't find true the darkroom type free for all orgies that the Chicago (I've never been) location is famous for anywhere in the PNW. Neither of the Seattle baths had a darkroom the last time I was at them, group/common play spaces aren't really utilized. Steamworks has a huge group play area with multiple slings since they removed the steam room, but it got very little use any of the times I've been.

Steamworks facilities are better kept up, but they no longer have a steam room, ironically. I believe the Seattle Steamworks location was part of the Club Bath chain the 1st time I went to it 20 odd years ago.

It sounds like bathhouses in New York leave a lot to be desired. For entirely different reasons, I am of the opinion that bathhouses in Seattle, Vancouver and Portland leave a lot to be desired.

I've only been to Steamworks in Seattle WA, Vancouver BC, the closed location in Victoria BC, and Edmonton, AB (which is still open, but does not appear to still be associated with the chain [think before following links] https://steamworksedmonton.com/), of those the only one I would recommend would be Edmonton. I have heard great things about Chicago and Toronto, and mixed messages about Berkeley. I definitely need to experience those 3 myself.

There is only one bathhouse in NYC. The others were all closed by Rudolph Guilliani ‘s board of health. AIDS and then Covid closed the next to last existing West Side Club. All gay bathhouses were once run by the Mafia to fleece homosexuals. After pride in the late sixties, a few of them had gay owners. Like Man’s Country in Chicago, but gays don’t have children and the clubs standing are often demolished when the owner gets too old or dies.  In England they are advertised openly, in the States they will soon be extinct.  Most usamajor cities are down to only one bathhouse option
