Bath Houses? Yay or Nay?

I'm going to be in Chicago over Thanksgiving, and there's a location of a chain bath house in the downtown. In addition to Chicago, this chain has 2 locations in Canada, and 2 in West Coast US states.

I've never been to a bath house. On the one hand, it sounds exciting and daring, even if all I end up doing is watching. On the other hand, I'm a clean, safe guy. It feels insane to even think of going somewhere where (and this is my assumption) most of the guys let promiscuity override safety.

Also, is this a case of trying to run before you walk? Aside from some youthful indiscretions, this would be my first time even being in a situation where I'd even possibly be with a guy.

Is it creepy to go and just watch? Or j/o to others?

It also feels like something I could put off for later instead of trying to squeeze into the holiday schedule. But I've put off a lot "for later". BUT, it's only about a 2-hour drive from home. Waiting until some time in Jan or Feb might be smart. Argh, I don't know!

I guess my biggest question is: If I do not engage in anal sex (which isn't my thing anyway), and stick to just jacking off, possibly getting blow jobs or a mutual j/o session, is that "safe"? Or is the whole environment unsafe? This feels crazy even contemplating it!

I'm especially curious to hear from guys here who play safe and have gone to a bath house. Yay or Nay?

I tried a nude spa (and a sex club) a couple of months ago. I was a bit nervous too - but you’re all there for similar reasons so I don’t think there‘ll be any agro. Usually if you’re not interested in someone - a polite no thanks is respected. Their website might have a few etiquette tips.

My view (crouches to avoid the cross-fire) is that I’m vaccinated against everything possible. Is HPV Vaccine available in the US? I’m up to date on my HEP jabs, and I take PrEP for playtime. So I can’t get HIV, and for everything else there is penicillin. Irresponsible? Hmm, I don’t feel so. I always have safe sex due to the meds. I got tested the moment I could and a month after and was clean.

You can get STIs from giving oral sex, although I believe it’s less common from receiving. Personally - I wouldn’t do anything with a dick unless I’d had a good look for sores etc. (and any cold sores on their mouth / lips)

My advice would be to stay back, and if guys do approach you - I’m sure they’d be very excited to know it was your first time, and if you just want a bit of (mutual) jack - just ask.

Have a blast ;)

yes, it is safe to only JO and get Bj's... for the most part... unless you see gross mouth sores or something don't do it. Other than that, have some fun... try to relax a little. You don't have to do nothing you don't want to do. You are always in control, remember that. A simple No thanks is enough to stop any advances from anyone.
 
FYI, I read the Yelp reviews on this place, and holy cow, it seems like a place to steer clear of! Sounds like some of the staff are pretty rude to customers. And if they're rude to customers they probably aren't giving the custodial part of the job enough attention!
 
There's a place in the woods nearby where guys go to hook up. I've seen some of the guys and... No way. Questionable hygiene at the very least. So; nay. Since you're new and not experienced, I'd hook up via a hook up site. You DO have to be careful but get ready for the best blowjob ever!
 
I would suggest you go with someone that you can trust. I personally have gone to one in Kenosha but i won't go alone. just for me easier to have another person keep me in line LOL
 
Interesting, @Kettlecorn. I didn't even know Kenosha had any of these. I do like the idea of a couple of guys going together to make sure you have someone to talk to, and someone to watch your back.

It can be very weird. I think it is worth an experiment, but definitely limit contact with others, which can be very hard once you make it passed the door and you start to process where you are. Its easy enough to have a conversation, keep yourself hard, chill.
 
I"ve been several times to that bath house when I'm in Chicago visiting. The only contact I've ever had was occasional stroking of someone. It's too risky. I go to watch and jo only. No one gives me any trouble about that.
