Initiated (a very real take)
I've only been to a bathhouse twice. I used to think that as a fairly monogamous pansexual person that this sort of venue would gross me out. To. Be. Fair... Some aspects still aren't my fave. But yeah.
I'm the only one that I've seen that just walks around entirely naked. I mean, dude, we know what we're here for, let it hang! Anyhow I like it. I like the exhibitionism of it all. I even like to voyeur a bit (not like me for the most part).
I've had two visits and roughly two encounters. The first one, was grade-A, for me at least. I'm less looks based and more enjoyment based. We edged each other for a good while. Mostly swapping head, making out, and him giving my nipples the best fucking attention I've had in ages. I swallowed his load and I stroked off while he worked my nipples. Good time.
Day two, was... interesting. I went to the gloryholes and sucked out two loads. The first was fairly easy... But unhygienic. I, unlike many there, don't have any sort of scent fetish. So, no bueno. The second... Was awkward, he went in, literally sideways. Why? He made me chase it around... And even to the point of making my lips touch the rim of the hole. Gross. Sulphuric acid could not make that feel clean. Lol.
My personal experience with it was this: It was too dark for me, I like seeing what I'm sucking for multiple reasons (check for visible concerns, and I'm visual). It's more exciting to watch porn of for me. But yeah, I blow like a champ.
Day two part two: a handsome guy with equally perky and sensitive nipples was trading off with me. Head, nipple play, etc. Some heated dirty talked on his part, (asking me if "I liked that") me moaning and telling him "yes, daddy". He came balls deep in my throat with me laying down and stroking and him tweaking my nipples.
After the clean up, I had accidentally locked my key in my room. So I asked the desk clerk to help me. When we got to my room... I noticed him lingering and admiring my ass. And then I did a flirtatious ass spread. At which point, he knelt down and tasted me. If I hadn't cum already (I don't linger after I've finished) I would've waited for him after his shift.
Overall, I like it. I like that there's not too much ambiguity. I get to see and be naked. And I can be overtly sexual without getting chastised. I do prefer a tamer, less wonton approach for overall health reasons (even though I'm on doxy and prep. I don't even do anal there). Super sexy time!
Nice report. I am glad you liked it. As someone who has been literally hundreds of times, it rarely gets old. Although there are many fewer bathhouses now. I like, as you said, it's all out there for everyone to see. Much better than cruising online or at bars. I go there for anal. I am on PrEP and take my chances since I love it bare. Much less attitude. I have had sex with and been fucked by guys who wouldn't give me a 2nd look on the street. I like size and like black dudes. The by far hugest cock I have ever encountered fucked me several times over several visits. A freak of nature. Never ever seen anything like it before or since. Plus it was attached to this incredibly handsome black guy 40 years younger than me. We never would have connected online or at a bar.
I am glad you are giving bathhouses a try. They are not for everybody. But if you like to look at naked men, which I do, and play with naked men, which I do, and get fucked by those men, it's a great place. BTW, if you would see me on the street, you would think I was a straight businessman or father or grandfather. But when I go to the baths, I can strip all that away (literally) and lay on my back and spread my legs or flip over on my tummy with my ass in the air and wait for a man who can give me what I want.
I hope you decide to go back.
OP, thanks for reporting your first experiences. Every bathhouse is different, and frankly, every night is different from every other even at the same place. So if you enjoyed one enough to give others a try, go for it. I have been to many, over many years, in multiple countries. Sometimes I'm the only one wandering around nude (I love the exhibitionist side), but the last time I was at Steamworks in Chicago, there were a lot of guys wandering the halls and just hanging around nude with me. Sorry you dealt with some poor hygiene. J think that's pretty rare. But be careful if you're inviting a dick into your mouth that's recently been in somebody's ass.
Have fun, BTW your pic is very sexy, good looker there.
Hey, thanks! I'm learning the things you've said as I go. And I've already likened the bathhouse to a casino. No clocks, slots (gloryholes) to play. Is fun to see who will take your bet (or who makes one).
Yeah... Pretty sure that first GH cock was used (sticky... Hanging on for dear erection, etc). Like I said, I have a preference to see what I suck, so... Probably won't engage like that again. No matter how submissive I'm feeling, lol. Also, maybe it's a area type of thing. Before I left Grindr I noticed an upward trend in guys being scent oriented. Which, isn't for me.
Overall though, I've only had respect. Nipples thoroughly tended to, cock sucked, mouth filled... The only thing that I love that no one has done is rabidly and deeply maul my asshole. Mmmm.
Also, thanks for the nice compliment sprinkled in at the end. ;p
