Met my partner of almost 22 years in a bath house. Toronto has 3 currently. There used to be a couple more but they have closed. The busiest is Steam Works. A wide range go ages and types. Hit and miss as far as action goes. It's a very sexual atmosphere. I find it enjoyable even if I don't do anything but watch. It's fun to have permission to look without feeling like you shouldn't. You hear guys going at it and sometimes while watching you can join in and little group action gets started. Toronto has had lesbian bath house nights. As a solo event they were successful but long term I've heard they don't' seem to work. Women in general seem less comfortable to just fool around for fun. I've met very nice people there. The idea that they are sleazy is really just a judgement about having sex purely for fun.
