Below average allowed?

I mean it’s allowed but what are your experiences with people with below average sizes? Are they sought out? Lack of engagement? What are your thoughts? I’m not average size that’s why I’m asking. I’d be so turned on to blow a guy in there or even bottom

Are top/bottom wristbands a thing in real-life saunas?

I read stories about saunas giving patrons wristbands of different colors, in order to openly display whether they were tops or bottoms (and/or doms or subs).

I have always wanted to try that kind of "theme", but I have never seen it during my visits of parisian saunas.

So I was wondering if this was just a fantasy thing, or if such a thing exists in IRL saunas? If so, and if you tried it, did it make your stay more exciting? Were the other patrons more handsy or flirty than usual?

First Time recommandation.

I’m planning to visit a gay sauna for the first time soon. I’ve never had sex with men before, though I’d ​​generally describe myself as quite attractive. I want to meet young, handsome men there—specifically twinks. What are the best places to go? I’m from near Cologne, so I’m looking for somewhere with plenty of young men (around my age).

Steamworks Chicago CumUnion event - what's different?

I'm visiting Chicago this weekend and plan to hit up Steamworks Friday night. I see there is a CumUnion event starting at 10 pm. I've been to SW a few times before but never on a CumUnion night. How will the event impact the club? What happens if I arrive before 10? What should I expect? Thanks!

Description of all the saunas I have been to

I see a lot of posts asking questions about certain saunas. Hopefully this post will help with some of those questions. Feel free to ask me any questions, and I will do my best to answer.

USA

Flex Sauna – Los Angeles

The largest sauna in Los Angeles. You can either rent a locker or a private cabin for a small extra fee. Membership is required (bring your ID); you can either get a 6-month membership or one day. The facility is on one floor. There is a lukewarm dry sauna. The steam room has been permanently closed and converted into more private rooms. There is an outdoor heated pool and a jacuzzi. There are two public play areas. There is no dark maze or any special play equipment like glory holes or slings. There is a gym with older equipment but otherwise fully functional. Condoms and lube are provided for free. Free covid tests as well. There is a mix of clientele; it all depends on when you go. There is a good mix of ages, body shapes, and races. The most popular times will be weekends after 10 pm through 5am or so. Plenty of younger men come around midnight and after during the weekends after the bars close. They have their own dedicated parking lot, but it is small. Street parking is available.

Slammer – Los Angeles (Sex club)

Membership is required. The place is essentially one large dark maze. There is a glory hole station in the center of the facility. Several private cabins scattered around the venue. There is a room with a tub if you’re into piss play. There aren’t any showers, but there is a dick washing station. You can either walk around fully clothed or underwear/sex gear. I don’t believe you can walk around fully naked. There are lockers and clothes check in.

2 nd floor – private rooms with two small public play areas with movies playing. There is also an outdoor sundeck.

Popular times are weekends at night after 9 pm up until 3 to 4 am or so. A lot of action happens in the steam room and the public play areas. I went on a Friday night; there was a decent crowd. The clientele is a good mix of all ages, body types, and races. There is only street parking and can be a bit tough to find. You may have to park a bit away and walk.

Club San Diego – San Diego

Membership is required: either one day, 5 months, or annual (free for military). Bring ID as you will need it to check in. You can either pay for a locker or a private room. A towel is provided and free towel exchange is offered. Condoms are provided for free but lube is not. There are vending machines that sell lube along with sex toys, poppers, and slippers. There are two stories:

2nd floor – several public play areas and more private rooms.

The venue is quite large. But it’s essentially 90% private rooms and 10% sauna. Everything feels spread out. Only street parking is available.

Flex Phoenix - Phoenix, Arizona 

Membership is required. ID is required to enter. You can either rent a locker or a private room. The place is one floor. There are lockers, a small gym area, showers, a large steam room, a large outdoor area with a pool and jacuzzi, and several public play areas. I don’t believe they have a dry sauna.

Sauna for Men - Charlotte, North Carolina

Located on the second floor of a strip mall. ID is required; they keep it for the duration of your stay. The place is pretty small and pricey for what you get. It’s single floor with a video room, lounge, moderately sized steam room, dry sauna that fits about 3 people, one shower, and lockers. Footwear is not allowed. Went on a Monday evening, and it was surprisingly busy. Overall, it’s a pretty decent option for the area.

dedicated parking lot, but it is often full on weekends. Street parking is available.

There are several slings and glory holes throughout the dark room. Douching area that stinks like shit. Most of the action happens in the dark room/maze area. Plenty of action occurs in the steam room and dry sauna as well. Club Dallas is the smaller of the two (club Houston), but there is a lot more action. They do have their own parking lot that is often full but plenty of street parking is available. Popular times are weekends after 9pm through 4am or so.

Flex Atlanta - Atlanta

This place is big. Membership is required; daily membership or 6-month membership can be
purchased. Bring your ID because they keep it while in the facility. You can either rent a locker or a private room for 8 hours. Time cannot be renewed (I’m assuming people were abusing it and using it as a hotel). There are three floors.

2nd floor has the check-in, lockers, showers, and private rooms.
1st floor has the wet area. There is an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, more showers, an outdoor lounge/patio area, dark room with slings and a hanging bed. There are movies playing in the big public room.
The ground floor has a well-equipped gym. You need to be fully clothed with closed-toed shoes to use the gym. They will provide you with a key fob to access the gym.

Adonis - Las Vegas 
A relatively new sauna in Vegas. You can either rent a locker or a room for 8 hours (no
backpacks allowed, small clear ones okay). There are several types of rooms you can choose
from. The place is large and kept clean. There are two floors.

1st floor has showers, a dry sauna, public play spaces, and private rooms.
2nd floor has more private rooms, public play spaces with a Czech gloryhole, and video rooms.

The place is more so a sex venue/club with a dry sauna. There aren’t any other amenities other
than the sauna (no pool, steam room, jacuzzi, etc.). There is music playing on speakers. There are
many televisions playing porn in several rooms and in individual arcades. The noise can get a bit
overwhelming. It’s not blaring but still relatively obnoxious with multiple sources of sound
coming from every corner. I went on a weekday, and there were only a small handful of people
there. This place honestly has a lot of potential for some massive orgies. They have weekly
events, so check their website. They have their own dedicated parking lot with plenty of parking.

Eagles Nest - Providence, Rhode Island

Located on the second floor. It can be a bit difficult to find because there are no signs. ID required. You can either rent a locker or a private room. There are lockers, showers, and a lounge area. As far as amenities go, there is a steam room and a dry sauna. There is a large public play area with glory holes and a sling with videos playing.

Korean SpasVarious locations
A lot of Korean spas are hot spots for cruising, especially in larger cities. There are a few in my
area that function as unofficial gay bathhouses; I will not mention any specific ones for the
business’ privacy. If you have any male only Korean spas or spas that separates sexes, there is a
good chance it is a hot spot for cruising. You can look up your local kspa and check the reviews
or on sniffies to see if it’s a cruising spot.

Mexico

Sparticus Sauna - Puerto Vallarta
One of the more well-known saunas. You can either rent a locker or a private cabin for an extra
fee. Slippers and towels are provided for free. There are three floors:

1st floor - the wet floor with sauna, jacuzzi, steam room, cold room (a room with an AC set at
25c).

2nd floor has private rooms, a video room, and the dark room. The dark room is there all the
action happens (pretty sure I stepped on shit here). Around a hundred men sucking and fucking.
It also stinks here.

3rd floor - rooftop bar and outdoor patio with a pool

Condoms and lube are not provided but can be purchased. FYI No one wears protection here, so
be on prep and doxypep. The clientele consists of a good mix of tourists and locals, mostly on the younger side. A lot of white gays™ with a sprinkle of others (I was the only Asian one there
the two nights I went). Busiest times are weekends between 11pm to 4 am.

Sparticus hostel – Puerto Vallarta
This is pretty much your typical hostel, except its men only. Cruising does happen here. There is
a dark room for cruising near the lobby. They offer fifty percent off their sauna with their
wristband. They have lockers that are wristband activated, so you do not need to bring your own
lock.

Riilax - Guadalajara 
The most popular sauna in the city. It’s a community sauna with mostly locals, so brush up on
your Spanish. You can either rent a locker or a private cabin for a small extra fee. You pay at the
end of your visit. There are two floors:

1st floor – large steam room, dry sauna that doesn’t get that hot, and a large jacuzzi. The jacuzzi is quite a popular hangout spot to the point where the water turns quite brown. Most of the action occurs in the steam room. There is No dark room or maze. There is a small lounge area with non-porn movies playing and a bar that serves drinks and snacks.

2nd floor - private rooms and a sun deck with lounge chairs

There is no video room or maze. There aren’t really any public play areas either. Lube and
condoms are not provided but can be purchased. Busy on weekends after 5 pm and fizzles out
after 10 pm or so. The clientele is majority of locals of all ages. Plenty of younger men
here.

Polari - Guadalajara
The newest sauna in town that just opened a few months ago. The place is kept very clean. You
rent a locker as there is no need to pay extra for rooms as cabins are provided with entry. Towels
and flip flops are provided. There are two floors:

1st floor has a bar, a large jacuzzi/heated pool, smaller steam room, and lounge chairs.

2nd floor has private cabins, a large playroom, and the larger steam room.

There is no dry sauna. I went on a Monday, and there were a handful of people there: all locals.
The clientele seems to skew younger. Popular times are on weekends late afternoons and
evenings.

Sodome - Mexico City 
The establishment has no sign outside. You buzz into a plain door to get into the sauna. Upon
entry, there is a security check. You will empty your pockets, and security will frisk you down. At the cashier, you turn in your phone. Flip flops and an apron like loin cloth are provided. Towels are provided upon request.

The main floor is an open area that has bar, a large jacuzzi, and small dark maze, several beds,
and a video room. The sauna, steam room, and showers are also here. There are showers that
open to the bar area if you want an audience watch you shower. I didn’t see anyone use these
though. The steam room is on intermittently, so it’s never really hot or steamy in there. It’s more
like a humidity room. There are naked go-go dancers and drag queens who perform on certain nights on the main floor.

2nd floor has the dark room/maze. During the weekdays or slow days, they close the main section
off and turn off the lights. It’s so dark you wouldn’t be able to see your own hand in front of you.
On weekends, they open it up. It’s a large cruising area with laser lights, beds, and a sling. All
the action happens here. Over a hundred men packed in sucking and fucking.

3rd floor has private rooms and a smoke deck. There is an area that is closed, not sure when they
open it.

The clientele here skews younger here. There are a lot of tops here, so this is bottom heaven.
Your hole will be ran through by the end of the night. On exit, you’ll receive your phone back
along with your receipt, which you will turn into security to let you out. Busiest on weekends
between 11pm - 5 am or so. I did go on a Thursday, and there was a decent crowd but not
crowded. 

Cine Savoy (Adult theater) – Mexico City
This place is similar to regular theater but with porn playing and cruising. You purchase your
ticket at the ticket window before entering. There are two stories with two theaters: downstairs
has straight porn playing while the upper theater has gay porn. It is all men here. There is a
concession stand that sells drinks and snacks. There are regular restrooms. I went on a
Wednesday midafternoon, and it was surprisingly crowded. The clientele is mostly older 40+. There is a younger crowd on the weekends. Plenty of people sucking and fucking.

Japan

24 Kaikan Shinjuku – Tokyo
The most popular sauna in Japan. The place is foreigner and tattoo friendly. When you first enter,
you take your shoes off and place them in a shoe locker. It does cost 10 yen so bring coins.
There are two kinds of lockers: red tag and white tag. Red tag indicates you want a private room.
White tag is for entry to the sauna. After putting your shoes in the locker, you take the key to the
receptionist (staff speaks English). After paying for the entrance fee, you’ll receive a bag with a
robe and two towels. The sauna is six floors. The sauna starts on second floor with parking on
the first floor

2nd floor - reception, lockers, café (currently closed) and a tv room

3rd floor - the wet floor with a dry sauna, steam room that is intermittently on, a mist room, and
a warm room that smells like Parmesan cheese. Most of the action happens in the mist room and
the steam room. There are both open showers and private shower stalls here. Many people use
the stalls to have fun in private. There is also a large jacuzzi, cold plunge, and warm tub. There is
an open room with a sling and fuck chair thing. 

4th floor - public play areas. There are several rooms with some of them connecting. There are
mattresses on the floor as well as bunkbeds. Everything is public here and people will try to join
in if you’re having fun with someone. There is absolutely no privacy. 

5th through 7th floor - there is a small public room on the 5th floor. Everything else on these
floors are private rooms you can rent. A good place to stay if you ever find yourself without any
accommodations.

There is a good mix of clientele ranging from all shapes and sizes and plenty of very attractive Asian men. There are plenty of tourists as well as locals. Private rooms are available with fixed time slots. Any footwear is prohibited inside the sauna. The floor is pretty nasty. I’ve stepped on used condoms, and I’m pretty sure shit as well. Most popular times are on weekends between 8pm through 2am or so. Weekdays are also considerably busy as well between 8pm through midnight.

Bodybreath (Sex club)- Tokyo 
This place is labeled as a sauna but it is not a sauna; it’s a sex club. It is located on the basement
floor. Look for the stairs going down to the entrance. There is a small sign on top of the stairs. You
must fit a certain standard to be allowed in (not fat, short hair, under a certain age, relatively
masculine presenting). However, the several times I went, they were rather loose about these
rules. When you enter the building, you take your shoes off and place them into a shoe locker.
You will get the key and give it to the receptionist. This place is cash only. There are different
rates. It’s 2000 yen for foreigners. There are discounts for students, people with gym
memberships, people with a big dick, etc. Reentry is allowed during certain hours. You must be in underwear while walking around. There are showers; small towels are provided. The place is mostly comprised of a dark maze with private cabins. Lube and condoms are provided. It’s pretty small and can get very cramp and crowded. Clientele mostly consists of locals, but many tourists also frequent this place. There are plenty of attractive men here. Many people do spend the night here. Bear’s Camp is connected to this place; I am not sure about entry requirements. You just ask the staff to gain access.

Hotel Adonis - Tokyo

A typical hostel but has a floor dedicated for gay men. Be sure to ask to be placed on that floor if you are looking for fun.

Corona club - Nagoya
The largest gay bath house and hotel in Nagoya. It’s foreigner friendly and tattoos are allowed. It is more so a gay love hotel than a sauna/bath house. The bath house section is fairly small. There is no dry sauna or steam room. Entrance is on the 3rd floor. At the entrance, you take off your shoes and store them in the shoe locker. You then give the key to the receptionist and pay the fee. It is cash only at 2500 yen. Staff will then give you a towel and a robe. There are two different colored robes indicating if you prefer younger or older men. There are several floors.

2nd floor - bathhouse with shower and a hot tub. There is a karaoke bar and a restaurant.

4th floor – several public play areas and private rooms

5th & 6th floor - all private rooms. There is a rooftop pool.

The clientele consists mostly of locals. The vibe of the place feels more like a hangout spot
compared to your typical gay bath house. You’ll see many people just hanging out at the karaoke bar and lounge area. Any sexual activities happen in certain areas. There is a large cross-dressing kink.

Senbon Nikkatsu - Kyoto (adult theater)
600 yen to get in. You only have access to the first floor. There is straight porn playing.  The second floor is an additional 100 yen. It’s the same theater just on a balcony. This is where most of the action takes place. Clientele is mostly older business men.

3rd floor - private rooms and public play areas with mattresses on the floor.

4th floor - private room with public play areas. 

5th floor - all private rooms 

6th - small gym and a sundeck. 

A fairly popular sauna in Osaka, though not as popular as 24Kaikan Shinjuku in Tokyo. There is a good mix of both locals and tourists. Group play is really common here. There is no privacy, so if you find someone to play with, other people will try to join in. Popular times are weekends late afternoon until 11pm or so. Weekdays will also have a decent crowd between 8pm through 11pm.

Sports men’s club - Osaka 

This is a rather small sauna where mostly locals attend. Staff does not speak English, but entry is pretty straight forward. After entering the door, you take your shoes off and put them in the locker. You take the shoe locker key and give it to the attendant. You then pay for admittance. The attendant will then give you a key to the locker to store your belongings on a different floor. There are 4 floors:

1st floor - reception, showers, douche area, and a small dry sauna.
2nd floor - lockers, public play areas. There are also two private cabins.
3rd and 4th floor - public play areas as well as a small sundeck on the 4th floor. 

Clientele here are pretty much all locals. The only amenities are showers and a small dry sauna. The stairs here are very narrow; I twisted my knee walking down. The public play areas are dark rooms with mattresses laid on the floor. There is a smoke room in front of the wet area, which was pretty annoying.

Konpira onsen - Osaka

Officially the unofficial gay sauna. This place is not a gay sauna but patrons are 99% gay. It has become the cruising place for gay men. You take your shoes off at the entrance and put them in a locker. Unlike most saunas in Japan, you keep your shoe locker key with you. You pay admission at the front. Entrance is only 600 yen. You then get nude and place all your stuff in the locker. Towels are not provided, but you can rent one. Clientele are mostly locals.

An old movie theater often frequented by older business and cross dressers. Random English
movies are played on the first floor, while Japanese movies play in the basement. There are two ticket machines in the front. One of them is the general admission (1000 yen) and the other is the basement floor (the special floor), which costs an additional 800 yen. You need both tickets to enter the lower floor. The general admission plays regular movies. Some action happens here. The basement floor is where all the action happens.

Massage services are available (I do not know if they perform anything sexual). Most popular times are on weekends from midafternoon to midevening. The clientele is a good mix of tourists and locals of all ages.

Sidenote: if you are in Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat, I recommend renting a bike right outside the park and doing the loops to see the temples. It was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had.

Singapore

KeyBox - Singapore

Large and clean facility. There is a sauna, jacuzzi, steam room, and a gym. There are many private cabins. This place felt more like a sex club. Most of the amenities were not utilized much and a majority of the men were in the dark maze areas looking for fun. The clientele is predominately younger Asians.

2nd floor has several dry saunas set at different temperatures, an outdoor lounge area, and the bar. One of the more impressive saunas I’ve been to. I went twice both on a Monday and Tuesday.

There were only a handful of people on Monday. There was a decent crowd on Tuesday. I can only imagine how weekends are. They have aufguss (aromatherapy) in one of the saunas between 6 pm to 10 pm on the hour. They infuse essential oils in the steam room (burns my eyes honestly). This was one the more impressive saunas I've been to, rivaling Boiler.

SAUNAWERK – Frankfurt

Several floors. The layout is kind of all over the place. The wet floor has the showers, saunas, and a foam room. The steam room on the second floor with a dark corner. The jacuzzi and a large pool is also here. Plenty of cabins available at the maze. There is a smoking corner in the maze that isn’t separated by walls, so smoke can be smelled throughout a good section of the maze. There is a large outdoor lounge area. There is bar next to the lockers. A good mix of clientele.

Achilleus Men’s Spa & Gay sauna – Nuremberg 

This facility is quite large. There is a full service bar, dry sauna, steam room, and plenty of public play areas/lounges. The steam room is very impressive. It’s huge with cold mist shower heads inside. There are plenty of private cabins available in the dark maze. 

Sauna Deutsche Eiche – Munich

This facility is a sauna and a hotel combined. You enter through the same entrance as the hotel. There is a dry sauna, large steam room with three sections, jacuzzi, and showers. There is a fully stocked bar and restaurant. There is a good sized maze with plenty of private cabins. One of the nicer saunas I have been to. The clientele did skew older the few days I went. 

Czechia

Babylonia – Prague

The facility has two floors. On the top floor are lockers and a full service bar. The lower floor has a sauna, steam room, showers, and wet maze. There is no maze but there are about 10 or so private cabins. A lot of play happens in the open area (a large dark room with a television playing). There are special events during the week. Friday is foam party; it was extremely busy when I went. Plenty of younger guys during the weekends. 

Austria

KAISERBRÜNDL – Vienna

A very large sauna. Entry includes locker rental and private cabins are available without an extra fee. Flip flops are available to rent as well. There are two floors. On the upper floor, there is a bar and the lockers. The lower floor has the main facilities. There are two dry saunas set at different temperatures, a steam room, and an unheated pool. The steam room has a smaller blacked out section, while the main section is pretty well lit. The steam room is where all the action starts. It’s often as packed as sardines during busy hours. There are two large mazes separated by a large bar. There are several public play areas with movies playing integrated within the mazes. It’s pretty easy to get lost. Some areas are very dark. There are steps where it’s inadequate lighting, and there are quite a lot of people who stumble on these steps including me. Condoms are provided for free. I do not recall if lube was provided for free. There is a wide variety of clientele that ranges of all ages and body shapes. A lot of hot, young Europeans. You will encounter some of the hottest men here. 

Hungary

Magnum Sauna – Budapest

There are special events depending on the day, so watch out for that. I went on a Thursday, which was bisexual day where women were allowed. There were quite a lot of people despite it being a weekday. There were a small handful of women who stayed in the public areas, mostly in the bar. The sauna has several floors. There is a bar near the entrance. The upper floor has several saunas set at different temperatures.  Large maze with several rooms that have videos playing. Plenty of slings and glory holes. There is a large steam room with a section that is blacked out and a small cold plunge bath. 

Italy

Note: an annual membership is required to enter many gay spaces in Italy including gay bars/clubs. Most venues use the ARCO card, which costs 10 euros.

Appolion – Rome

The newer sauna in Rome. An annual membership (ARCO) is required that costs 10 euros, so bring your ID/passport. The staff here is friendly and speaks English. Drinks, food (snacks and sandwiches), and sex amenities can be purchased at the front desk. The sauna is one single floor. There is a sauna, steam room, showers, and a large jacuzzi.

The sauna and steam room are very spacious and more illuminated than most saunas. There is large lounge area with a bar. I went on a Saturday evening and the clientele skewed older. Go to Appolion if you prefer younger.

Madrid - Sauna Suggestions

​

I would be visiting madrid in early September and I am curious. Wanted some perspective as I am a visitor and would have limited time in the city.

While I read that Madrid is full of sexy men and is also a welcome culture to Gay and Bi men, I am sure nervous as a middle aged indian bi man.

The questions

\- Would I feel ignored , rejected in a Sauna setup as an India Chub man.

\- while I understand the risk of STIs in a random sauna hookup, do guys actually carry condoms while moving around naked in a Sauna?

\- Not looking for a#@ls but more of some @ral pleasure alongwith some cruising.

\- Also Just to be assured that while it's a sauna with dark rooms and play rooms, people wouldn't force themselves upon me as I am not really looking for any @n@ls

Thanks in advance 👍

Note - this is a throwaway account but am open to recieve Direct messages

I am not a top.

A night with Eli

This is a 100% true story of an encounter I had that I decided to write as a narrative sex story. Only the boy's name has been changed to potentially protect his identity.

I met Eli as I was walking down the halls of Steamworks Chicago. He was standing in the doorway of a private room, watching its occupants. One of the occupants, a slender boy with short blonde hair, was straddling a larger beefier man lying on his back. They were engaging in the type of fuck you’d see in a 30 second twitter clip. The boy bounced vigorously on the man’s cock with his hands behind his head loudly moaning while the man repeated ‘fuck yeah’ over and over. The boy loved the attention he was getting from a growing crowd, Eli being one of them. Another man stood behind Eli - me joining them made a group of three. I watched Eli watch these two and saw he was enthralled. As was I. Not with the boy and the man but with Eli.

He was about 5-6 inches shorter than me with a young slender toned build. My guess is he was no older than 22. His face, blemish free and smooth, had strong south asian features. Piercingly dark eyelashes and eyebrows and a longer but proportional nose. But unlike the darker coffee complexion of most other south asian boys, Eli had a soft almost mocha or light caramel complexion. This paired with his shaggy mid-parted medium length hair, drove me crazy. He was gorgeous. He could have been a greek god. I had spent the past two hours walking the halls and mazing working up a testosterone crazed level of horniness. All of theses beautiful men reveling in their debauchery. I was primed and ready. Whether or not this was my horniness talking or not I don’t know but in that moment, Eli was my Patroclus.

I jostled for a position next to him by slightly bumping the man behind him out of the way, a brief feeling of guilt flashed through me but knew it was necessary. I had to make a pass at Eli. Once positioned I gave him a slight brush of the arm. Immediately he turned and we locked eyes, there was no doubt, he was into me. His eyes went big as he looked at me towering over him and he returned the brush of the arm with a cheeky smile. We stood for a few moments our arms slowly going further on each other. I started rubbing his upper arm and then down to his wrist while both of us watched the men fuck. Then I felt his soft hand slowly go down my side and find itself under my towel. He grabbed me and by his expression of ‘wow’ I could tell he liked what he found. I don’t write that to boast, I don’t consider myself ‘hung’ but I do have a modest 6 inch member thats symmetrical with a prominent head. People have told me its pretty. I could tell Eli liked it.

I returned the favor by finding his cock under his towel. It was semi-hard but getting harder. He was uncut and by all standards had a small penis that was very thin, typical of south asian boys. Despite this I was turned on even more. I knew his cock was not what I was after. My prize was somewhere else. I reached behind him and found a plump supple ass with each cheek perfectly the size of my large hand.

His cheeks were buttery smooth as if he had just applied lotion or gave himself and sea salt bath. Using his firm ass as a handle I yanked him hard into me and we began to kiss. We kissed for a good minute or so before I felt a rough foreign hand reach from behind me to touch Eli. Unacceptable. He was to be mine for the night. I moved the invader’s hand away and asked Eli if he’d like to join me back to my private room, which he accepted.

Hand in hand I led him to my room, conveniently just around the corner. I unlocked the door and let him go in first. The door latched shut, we exchanged names, and began to violently kiss. I removed my towel and threw it aside. With his towel still on I lifted him by his thighs around me, his towel fell off onto the floor, we continued to kiss our tongues intertwined. With his legs clasped behind my back I laid him down on the bed. We kissed for a good few minutes our hands exploring each other's entire bodies. I asked him if I could fuck him, to which he quickly confirmed that I had lube then emphatically agreed.

However I wanted Eli to know what was going to be inside him so I brought my cock to his lips and shoved it down his throat. He took it all. His beautiful face forced to gag on my cock. His face turned red and his beautiful brown eyes watered. Seeing this gorgeous boy’s beauty forced to abate by a throbbing cock down his mouth drove me crazy. He seemed so vulnerable. He loved it.

After a few thrusts down his throat he was ready. He moved to all fours and faced the foot of the bed. I got behind him and lubed both my cock and his hole, inserting just a finger with a generous amount of lube. Given his question that I had it I wanted him to know I was applying it.

In the past, I have made the mistake of inserting too fast with a beautiful bottom and ruining the moment. I would not make that mistake with Eli, I wanted him to be in no pain. With the tip of my cock I slowly I found his hole and applied some light pressure. I held him by the hips with one hand and slowly guided my cock into his hole with the other. Once the tip had made it in he flinched a bit and I stopped to ask if he was okay. He was, I continued very slowly until my entire cock was buried in his hole, my balls making contact with his smooth ass. As soon as this happened he lifted up from his hands completing an impressive back bend to kiss me while my cock was fully inside him. I slowly increased the pace. Pumping once, twice, then at a smooth but passionate rhythm all while kissing him and his neck. I went slow for a bit, I wanted Eli’s hole to get used to my cock. This was just the start. Finally, once I knew he was comfortable with a faster pace, my demon side came out. I wanted to fuck this boy, and fuck him hard.

I shoved his face down into the bed and grabbed both his hips at the bend and pounded as hard as I could. I wanted my balls to hurt from the abuse of slapping his ass as hard as they could. Eli started to moan and yell, I sensed he was not used to this but was enjoying it. Only for a few more stokes did I fuck his hole like I was auditioning for a Sean Cody film before bringing him up for another passionate backbend-make-out-fuck.

After a while at this I pulled my cock out and re-positioned him so that his hole was hanging off the bed and I was standing. I sank my cock into him and again Eli assumed the back bend. He grabbed the back of my neck with both his hands putting his elbows straight in the air. I held his whole body in a reverse hug while fucking his brains out from behind. I could tell he loved to be held. I moved my hands lower and grabbed his tiny, yet rock hard, cock. I then grabbed his balls and held them firm as to show him how a real man’s cock felt. I squeezed his balls hard to show him he was my hole to fuck. Again we kissed. Again I pumped. Again my demon came out.

I forced him forward but this time he caught himself with his hands. On all fours with me standing behind him I grabbed him by his shaggy hair pulling it back hard exposing his neck. I grabbed his neck to use as a handle. With his hair in one hand and his neck in the other I fucked him hard. I pounded back and forth, with every thrust shaking his legs. Pumping, moaning, pulling and gripping.

Through all of this intensely hot fucking I hadn’t felt the tingling sensation that signals an orgasm is on its way. I was lasting a long time. Eli had me worked up. I didn’t want him to get tired so I swapped positions. I let go of his hair and neck picked him up to lay him on his back. I got back on the bed and threw his legs over my shoulders and looked him in the face. His dark eyes were full of slutty lust. This time, I was not slow with my insertion. I forced my cock in his hole in one movement and his eyes hit the back of his skull. I kissed his calfs and held them like handle bars as I fucked and pumped rhythmically. We caught eyes again, he reached for me, I fell down, his legs wrapped around me and we began to kiss. We were both sweating hard. I noticed beads of sweat building on his neck.

That's when I noticed more of his gold chain he wore. On the chain was a beautiful golden ring threaded through the middle, the significance of this ring, I would never know. More sweat ran down the chain. I closed the gap and hugged him hard while fucking him. My head on his shoulder and his on mine. Our sweat mixing and becoming one. Our bodies wet.

Then I felt it. My loins heated up. Tingling started down my thighs. It was on its way. I whispered in his ear “I’m close” he responded with a moan. I asked him if I could cum inside him, he said yes. I pumped harder. I wanted to fill his guts with my cum. I wanted every drop of me to be inside him. I wanted to empty every last drop of me into this beautiful boy’s hole. I held his body so tight so as to get my legs as close as I could. I wanted my cock to be the deepest in him it could be. The temperature was building. My cock was tingling. My legs started to shake. My cock exploded.

The first wave of cum hit me like a bus, I pushed my hips so hard forward Eli lurched forward in the bed. I could feel the warmth of my cum around my cock. Then another wave radiated down my entire body. Then another, I couldn’t help but moan and moan loudly. I let out a loud cry and moan, surely those in the hall could hear. It kept going. Five to six waves later, Eli was full and I was empty.

I laid on top of him for a minute or so my cock still inside. I slowly rose up, still inside him. I gently pulled my cock out, a small trail of cum followed. He quickly tensed up to stop it, I could tell he wanted to keep it.

I could not leave without Eli being satisfied. The way he just gave himself to me, I could not leave him wanting. With him still on his back, his legs open wide to each side, I grabbed the lube. I dripped lube all over his dick and started to stroke. He was hard. What he lacked in size he made up for in beauty. His entire body was beaded with sweat and his hair was a beautiful mess.

He was uncut, I was sure to massage the head but not too much as to overstimulate him. His head rolled back in pleasure. After a few he said he was close. I starting to massage his legs with my other hand. Then all the sudden his legs tensed and he shot three ropes of cum onto his stomach moaning at the same time. He laid there, relaxed.

I cleaned him up with the towel and set it aside, I needed no cleaning as my load was safe and secure inside him. I told him how beautiful he was and he returned the compliment by saying how hott that was. As he put his towel back on he asked if I was from here, to which I said I was traveling. He simply said “Well, I’ll see you around” and then disappeared through the door.

I stayed at Steamworks for another hour or so just relaxing in the hot tub and steam room. I did not see at all again. I like to think he left satisfied after our fuck taking my gift with him into the night.

Couples?

Are gay Saunas a good place for a couple to visit? I've heard a lot of conflicting views from friends saying they're better for single people/on your own but have always been interested in visiting as a pair.

I know there is no expectation of sex with other people than your partner but do you think it would be difficult to just have sex with your own partner or would you have to go in with an 'open relationship' mindset to get the most out of it?

Any thoughts/help is appreciated!

Sauna Sauna Bears Day - Worthwhile for a 60yo Bottom?

60yo mixed race bottom, with a chubby, possibly flabby..., hairy body - wondering if I'm likely to find any takers on Bears Day (first Saturday of the month)? I know you can never predict who you'll encounter in a sauna, but wondered if anyone had similar experience or observations to share. Would be good to know as it's the best part of a four hour drive for me.

Edited: spelling.
