So, you've finally summoned up the courage to take the plunge and visit a gay sauna. Congratulations! This can be a hugely liberating experience, allowing you to explore your sexuality in a safe and welcoming environment.

Gay saunas are sex-positive places. This means that sexual activity is not only permitted, but actively encouraged! However, there are still some rules of etiquette that should be observed in order to make everyone's experience as enjoyable as possible.

What's It Like In A Gay Sauna?

Gay Saunas are places where gay men meet to drink, socialize, and have sex. They are often called bathhouses or SOPVs (sex on premises venues). Gay saunas vary in size and amenities, but most have steam rooms, showers, small lockers for having a good time, and sometimes pools.

You are likely to encounter all types of men in a gay sauna, from those who are just looking to chat and socialize to those who are there for more x-rated fun.

Dim lighting, corridors lined with doors, dark alcoves with moaning sounds, and private rooms are all part of the gay sauna experience, so it's best to leave your inhibitions at the door. It is not unusual to see men walk around naked or in just a towel, so don't be afraid to shed your clothes and join in the fun.

You will be given a locker key when you first arrive at a gay sauna. You will need to strip down and store your clothes and belongings in the locker. Most saunas have designated areas for smoking and cell phone use, so familiarize yourself with the rules before you start exploring.

As you walk around the sauna, you will notice that some men are more forward than others. If you are not interested in anyone, it is perfectly acceptable to say "no thank you" or simply walk away. If you are approached by someone who is overly persistent, you can always report him to the staff.

Gay saunas are usually divided into two main areas: the wet area and the dry area. The wet area is where you will find the steam room, showers, and sometimes a pool. This is typically the more x-rated area of the sauna, and you may see guys engaged in sexual activity. You'll find the lounge, bar, and other social spaces in the dry area.

Before you enter the wet area, be sure to shower thoroughly. Most saunas have strict hygiene rules, and you will not be allowed in if you are not clean. Once you are in the wet area, you can relax and enjoy the steam room or take a shower. Remember to stay hydrated, as saunas can be dehydrating.

Tips For Your First Trip To The Gay Sauna

Keep your mouth shut 

This may sound like obvious advice, but you'd be surprised how many people forget to do this, especially if they're new to the gay sauna experience. When you're in the heat of the moment, it can be easy to get carried away and start talking without thinking about what you're saying. But it's important to remember that not everyone wants to hear your conversation, so it's best to keep it to a minimum.

Be respectful of other people's space

Just because you're in a sauna doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. It's important to respect other people's space and not invade their personal bubbles. If someone doesn't want to be bothered, basic common courtesy dictates that you leave them alone.

Don't stare

This one should be pretty self-explanatory, but it's worth mentioning nonetheless. Just because someone is naked doesn't mean they want to be stared at. It's impolite and can make people feel uncomfortable.

The dress code is 'come as you are.'

You don't need to worry about what to wear to a gay sauna - the dress code is 'come as you are.' Whether you're wearing a towel or your birthday suit, you'll be welcome. A thong, jockstrap, or other form-fitting underwear is usually a good option if you're planning on being active, as it will stay in place and minimize friction.

Keep your hands to yourself

Unless you've been given explicit permission, it's best to keep your hands to yourself. Not everyone wants to be touched, so it's important to respect people's personal space and not touch them without consent.

Be aware of your body language

Your body language can say a lot, even if you're not saying anything. Be aware of how you're standing and what your facial expressions are conveying. If you're making someone feel uncomfortable, they're likely to pick up on it, which could ruin their experience.

Be safe

This is the most important tip of all. When you're engaging in sexual activity, it's important to be safe and use protection. There's no shame in using condoms or lube, and it's better to be safe than sorry. Most gentlemen's spas offer free condoms, but you may have to spend a few dollars on lube.

Avoid expectations

One of the most important things to remember is to avoid having any expectations. Everyone is different, and there's no guarantee that you'll find what you're looking for. Just relax, take your time and see where the night takes you. You never know - you might just get lucky and have the time of your life.

Don't join the troll train

If you see a hot dude that you're interested in, don't be a creeper and start following him around. Not only is it creepy, but it's also a surefire way to kill the mood. The best way to show interest is to give visual cues, such as making eye contact or giving a smile. If the guy is interested, he'll make his way over to you.

Be prepared to take no for an answer

Just because you're in a gay sauna doesn't mean everyone wants sex. You might be feeling frisky, but not everyone is in the same frame of mind. If someone says no, it's important to respect their wishes and move on. There are plenty of other people to talk to, so don't take it personally.

Yes, drugs happen

While the majority of guys are mostly sober, there's no denying that drugs do happen in gay saunas. If you're offered drugs, it's up to you whether you want to take them or not. Just be aware of the risks involved and ensure you're with someone you trust if you decide to partake.

Don't be that guy

We've all seen him - the creeper who seems to be lurking in every corner, trying to get a sneak peek at everyone else. Or the guy who's so wasted that he can barely stand up. Don't be that guy. No one wants to deal with someone who's being a nuisance, so just be respectful and mind your manners.
