Please realize that we're part of a larger people, not an island unto ourselves and this is right on the line of what's acceptable.

Where is a good gay sauna? = OK

Where can I receive laid? = not OK (in the same way that anyone asking "Where are the leading whorehouses?" would hold the post deleted.)

Kindly don't cross the line.

Not criticizing moderation. If this website were based in the Netherlands or Germany, a question about the best whorehouse would be perfectly acceptable. That's a cultural issue.

My fave is the "Amsterdam" in Frankfurt, Germany. It's NOT full of twinks like the others. People are pleasant. And you can not only swallow, but can obtain "house cooked" meals (oh, that's sooo California!).

NYC Bath Houses Are Back, and Gay Men Are Cruising Them Once More

23 years ago, Metrosource published “A Gun in the Closet,” an article recounting the lives of 3 LGBTQ youth and the issues they were facing. Moved by the piece, Leo Preziosi decided to accomplish something to continue the tries to protect LGBTQ+ youth in response to the extremely elevated suicide rates.

Mt. Morris Baths

History

Located in the basement floor of the Lohengrin apartment house, the Mt. Morris Baths (originally the Mayer Baths) was the first commercial tenant of this room. The establishment, featuring Turkish and Russian baths, catered to a mostly Jewish clientele and in the late 19th century was also known as a hangout for police officers. By 1915, the baths were renamed the Mt. Morris Baths, and by the 1920s and 1930s, African-American patrons began frequenting the baths reflecting changes in the demographics of the neighborhood.

When exactly it began to entice a predominantly same-sex attracted, African-American clientele is unknown, but it was mostly likely in the 1920s during the Harlem Renaissance. In 1923, Carl Van Vechten, patron of the Harlem Renaissance, noted in his diary that he had visited the baths, which at the second was known for its “rough trade.” In 1930, Countee Cullen left his wife Yolande Du Bois for Harold Jackman, who he had allegedly met at the baths. Lincoln Kirstein characterized the baths as “a rendezvous” for “notorious homosexuals, deviated perverts, and merc

Everard Baths

History

The legendary Everard Baths, one of the longest unforgettable of New York’s bathhouses, attracted gay men probably since its opening in 1888, but, as documented, from at least Nature War I until its closing in 1986.

The building began as the Free Will Baptist Church in 1860. In 1882, it was converted into the New-York Horticultural Society’s Horticultural Hall. It became the Regent Music Hall in 1886-87, then the Fifth Avenue Music Hall, financed by James Everard. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Everard (1829-1913) came to Recent York City as a boy, and eventually formed a masonry jobbing business that was successful in receiving a number of major city public works contracts. With his profits, he invested in actual estate after 1875, and built up one the country’s largest brewing concerns. (He was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery.)

After the Melody Hall was closed by the City over the sale of beer there, Everard decided to rescue his investment by turning the facility into a commercial “Russian and Turkish” bathhouse, opened in May 1888 at a amount of $150,000. Lushly appointed and with a variety of
