How do you avoid sameness in sex scenes?

Thanks for the natatorium-related ideas. Thinking over your responses helped. I just figured out what to do. Naturally, it's painfully obvious. I'll just call it, "the old pool."

Now I won't have to go burn down my local natatorium to avenge my story.

Human brains are so weird, how we get stuck on something and the more we try to think around it, or come up with alternatives, the more we wind up digging in. Glad you thought of something you like.
 
I guess if you can't be pleased, then I'll just stop now.

Your earlier suggestion led to my current solution. As you said, people would have just said they were going to the pool, or at least they would have when said that when it was operational. They wouldn't be saying it any longer since it doesn't function like a pool. So what do we call things when they become defunct but haven't gained a new function? After a new fire station is built, the old one became "the old fire station." Since it closed, the post office downtown is now "the old post office." And that hospital that hasn't had a patient in a decade is "the old hospital."

It was helpful, so thank you.
