I was thinking of going to a gay bathhouse, but are they safe? I mean, I know the standard safe sex procedures, like use a condom, etc. But are they still safe after that? Or are they a breeding ground for STDs (no offense to anybody who uses them, I honestly don't know)?
Are bathhouses safe?

safe as anything else
a bath house is no different than any random anonymous hookup sex as might be found in a park, a bar, or on craigslist. most of the guys in the bath houses practice safe anal sex, which is the only kind of anal sex you should have ... safe. as for kissing, making out and oral sex, the risk is very low if at all. if you have never been to a bath house and you are curious, go just to be a voyeur, and if you should happen to find someone with whom there is mutual attraction, just go for it. just remember that if you do anal, a condom is a must ... no glove, no love ... no cover, no lover. enjoy, and write back to tell us of your experience(s).

I have heard of bathhouses that require memberships, and full doctor screening before they allow you in.
Not sure where, but I have heard they exist. Then again... they could be a myth like bigfoot.

the one I have checked out in the Detroit area, has specific rules regarding safe sex. Weather they are followed or not is another story. From what I have read on other sites, this Bath house is very clean, discrete, keeps a low profile and has had no run in's with the law... for a curious MWM, well, curious again, this was just a thought. I don't think Ill be making any trips there. Have to make do with squirt dot org, and see if I can make a good hook up with another curious MM...
I guess their is a real nice place, in all places Augusta GA. I looked into it since I have been working in South Carolina. This place looks like a resort.

try it
guys, here is the deal on bath houses, at least the ones that i know of (i used to go about 2 - 3 times a year)
the bath house will have many small "rooms" that are really partitions with thin walls and doors and a single size thin mattress on a wooden cot and an overhead light. the rooms will be arranged along rows or aisles. the mattress will be covered with one single size fitted sheet (no other sheets or blankets) that is changed by an attendant after each client. the room will also be sprayed with a disinfectant. the aisles or hallways are usually kept very dimly lit, but your eyes will quickly adapt.
there will also be a locker room at one end of the bath house that may have several dozen lockers.
there should also be a few public areas that may be rooms with vinyl benches, t.v. rooms, whirlpool baths, showers, or saunas. there may also be a specialized play area, i.e. a sling room or jungle room.
in addition, the bath house will have a public washroom (it is understood that there is no sex in washrooms).
most places have either a snack/coffee bar (they prob cannot get a liquor licence) or at least vending machines.
all bath houses will offer free lube and condoms and will encourage safe sex.
entry into the bath house allows access to all parts. you will also be provided with a small towel for use in the shower or to wipe your body after sex. most places will let you exchange your used towel for a clean one at no charge, or perhaps for 50c - $1.
the cost to rent a room will be around $20+ for 6 - 8 hours. the person usually stays in the bed while people who wander around stick their heads in the door to check you out. if you both like what you see, he comes into the room, closes the door, and you have each other for as long as you want. some guys who rent rooms will lie in their preferred position and it is common to see guys on all 4s with their asses up
be aware that sex and speech in these rooms will transmit through the thin walls .. that is probably part of the turn-on, to hear asses being spanked or to hear guys groan when they cum hard.
the cost to rent a locker will be around $10 - $20 for 6 - 8 hours. you change in the locker room, wrap the towel around your waist, and wander the bath house, either looking into the rooms for a guy who seems to be your type, or you go into a common area, either to try to initiate sex with a guy you like, or have a guy come on to you. or you can just be a voyeur and watch (and jerk off if you wish).
the costs also may vary as to the time of day and the day of the week. some places also have special rates for "students."
you may also see young guys who are rent boys and there may even be guys dealing drugs (although this is definitely frowned upon).
the unwritten rule in any bath house is that NO means NO, so don't press yourself upon someone who rejects you, and if you say no and the person will not give up, feel free to go to the front desk for assistance.
so who goes to a bath house? almost anyone from 18 - 118, black, white, brown, yellow, green, pink, fat, thin, tall, short, bearded, hairy, clean-shaven ... in other words the entire gamut of the male population. again, some places tend to attract certain people or at certain times, so don't be afraid to ask at the front desk.
the only i.d. you will need is legal i.d. if you appear to be under 18. otherwise, they will ask you to sign a slip of paper (just a scrawl is all you need) and they may also ask for a refundable "key" deposit for the room or for the locker.
so if you really are horny and curious, my advice is to go, check one out, be a voyeur, and participate if you like. the atmosphere is generally friendly and unless you act like a total goof, you should feel quite comfortable once you get to know the layout of the place.
if you do go, post your experience here so that others may benefit. have fun and remember to play safe. enjoy.

That might be hard to find. Of course, the ones I've seen aren't anything impressive, anyway. They really don't look any different than the mens' lockerroom at the gym.
I've also been to places that have unofficial sex rooms, as well. They're even less impressive looking. They tend to be painted in one color and have a chair or sofa and a tv, playing porn.
I have been to baths that were seedy dives where I left after only 15 minutes. I have been to others that were clean, well maintained places that felt like a nice spa with sex. These places can vary greatly and can appeal to a wide variety of tastes. A good source of info and help on locating baths anywhere in the world is squirt.org and also cruisingforsex.com. Both those sites have listings with general info and comments from visitors.
Thanks Sam!
On behalf of all of the men on this site who are nervously attempting to wander into a little man to man thanks much for your information. Because of my situation (known fairly well in my community - married for many years) I will give one a try when I am out of town. For me I will feel more comfortable trying this for the first time. Thanks again for the tips. Hopefully I will pursue a few in the near future (pun intended!)
