And yes, guys: “No” means “no,” even in the dark. We hate this practice and don’t think it is in any way acceptable. Usually not advised for your first time gay sauna experience, but if you don’t have any preference of who you get with and are turned on by anonymity, then why not give it a try? Be careful, however, as in the dark most guys don’t use a condom as no one can see. The lights are off, and all you can see are the outlines of other guys.

Otherwise known as the ‘dry areas,’ no action is allowed in these spaces in most establishments – but follow the lead of everyone else if you’re unsure. Some have bars serving alcoholic drinks, others have dance floors with DJs or even live shows.

Relaxation Lounge – Many locals head to their closest gay sauna for more than just the cruisy atmosphere.
