From Bath House to Gym

Five years ago, I was a bath house fan. A week can't go by without using one of my three rotating bath house membership ID's from F, E and CB.

Until I discovered that the gym (especially the popular ones) is a nice alternative to a bath house. The steam and sauna facilities of many popular gyms have become a popular hangout for many gay men. Although it is not advisable to do naughty acts inside the gym, the place has become a potent meeting place for men.

And for almost half a decade, I met most of my boyfriends from the gym. Meeting a new guy was a stronger motivation than having a muscled body for me.

There was a time where I spent more time at the gym everyday than my work. My gym addiction turned me into a certified group exercise teacher and from then on, my "career" at the wet floor area soon dried up. I began to avoid doing "sensitive" stuff inside the "all men only" area as I was afraid of being the star of the next "sauna controversy" which several of my co-instructors have unfortunately experienced.

Now, I miss the bath house. I miss the gym action. And I just miss being young and being able to surrender my once, lean body to sexual abandon.
