Gay sauna story

Meanwhile, I ignored the 50-ish year old man who looked at me while adjusting his towel. They know the place is worth a small fortune, especially if the owners—who aren’t young anymore—decide to sell. Really, they probably just wanted to see if something would happen, but they were respectful, not pushy.”

“As we wandered through the different areas, there were slightly open doors with people waiting inside.

Expect an unforgettable time

These stories prove that gay bathhouses, while often shrouded in mystique, are places where life’s unexpected moments can also unfold. And, to be completely honest, I have also repeatedly asked myself the same question.

Now I have absolutely no idea what to do and freaking out a bit…I have no idea whether he saw me or not or [also] saw me [hooking up].”

There were some attempts to regulate practices; for example, the establishment tried to impose rules like limiting bath time to three hours and banning self-flagellation with oak branches.

The carpet has these psychedelic green patterns that must be from the 1970s. I ended up fainting in the dark room.

The next thing I know, I am being slapped awake by a good Samaratan. They seemed pretty relaxed!”

“Everyone was sitting there watching us shower. As public expressions of sexuality are increasingly sanitized or pushed into virtual spaces, private retreats are stepping up to fill the void.

I think the jacuzzi did something to my blood pressure. There’s a spatial organization according to different activities. Among other things, it reveals that Bain Colonial is one of the oldest Turkish baths still operating in North America.

“Initially frequented by a Jewish clientele, this century-old establishment gradually became central to Montreal’s homosexual history, all while preserving part of its original identity.
