Gay sauna amateur
Did you know that men have been cruising each other for sex at bathhouses since the 15th century?
While the original intention of men’s bathhouses may have been hygiene, today’s gay bathhouses or saunas, along with other types of sex-on-premises-venue (SOPV) or sex venues, are intended as places where you can meet others for casual sex. SOPVs suggest a place to travel and play with a wider variety of people, many of whom might not appear on a dating app grid.
Walking around a gay sauna or SOPV, you might rapidly realise a whole fresh set of rules is at play; with everything from navigating consent to being comfortable in a sexualised space, there can be a lot to learn. Here’s what you should know before heading into a sex venue for the first time.
How does a gay sauna operate?
Like a hotel, you’ll arrive at your venue, and there will be a front desk where you’ll pay an admission fee, and in repay , you’ll receive a locker key and a towel.
From there, it’s a matter of heading to the changerooms to change into the towel and store your clothes in a locker. Upon arriving, many people will also shower to freshen up, and many venues may acquire douching facilities if you want t
Looking to get some deed without having to navigate the apps? You can always go to a sex-on-premises venue. Melbourne is home to a couple of gay saunas and steam rooms, with many offering fun theme nights – often with playful names like Tight-Arse Tuesday or Bound Kink Darkness to keep things spicy.
And just in case you still want to dabble on your fave pick-up apps, all of them also offer cyber lounges. Just remember to engage safe.

Where to have sex on premises in Melbourne

Gay Sauna Etiquette
The first occasion you step into a gay sauna can be an unnerving experience. What exactly are you supposed to do when you’re inside? And what aren’t you supposed to do? Alternatively, you may be so familiar with a particular gay sauna that you’re written into the fire instructions.
Gay saunas are sex-positive places. You don’t go to a sauna to play Scrabble. As soon as you’re in the locker room getting into your white towel, eyes begin roving. You take a shower on your way in, and even more eyes are roving. You then uncover yourself cruising around, trying to figure out the space - or at least reacquaint yourself with it. Expect men in towels looking at other men in towels. Exchange occurs on a nonverbal, almost psychic level.
Traveling is often better than arriving. The anticipation of what you might find can outstrip the pleasure of actually doing it, so to speak. Then again, you may find yourself having a very remembered experience with one or more people. No one hands you instructions when you walk into a gay sauna. It all comes down to sauna etiquette and the luck of the draw.
