It's an intriguing idea but no - it seems a bit seedy.
Is there a special code like 'handfan language'? or do you give someone a bit of 'come hither' with your eyes... and they...well... literally do 'come' hither.
I've never been to one, but you don't actually have to have sex, many people do use them for said reasons, but that normally takes place in specific rooms.
I stayed at a LGBT friendly bed and breakfast in Edinburgh, I think it was, and they owned a sauna too. I asked about it at the time, because they kept telling me I should visit it.

It has been many years since I last went to a gay sauna, the first was Thermos Day in Amsterdam, that was something special. It had a swimming pool, marble everywhere. It was a bit of an eye opener and as stated above things mainly go on in cubicles. There were a lot fit men there. Then I went to Luton, what a let down in comparison. Let's just say the men looked better in the hot tub rather than out. I guess if you go to a provincial sauna that's what you're going to get. I can't comment on Chariots and the like in London.
They all had the saunas, steam rooms etc, so if you want to go look at naked men then go ahead.
Surely, gay folk don't need to be segregated from mainstream society with special saunas just for them! In this day and age, we welcome gay people in regular saunas. We all have the same sweat!

They didn't in the council leisure centre in the town over from mine - they had to close the sauna down 20 years ago because of all the shenanigans going on
Was pretty much all we talked about our Yoga class, being a mixture of relatively naive ladies.
so you have to be naked, can you just go in there to perv ?
Trouble is, whilst that sounds like a great idea, the reality of all these things never marries up with the idea.
If you are a old man past your prime and imagine that you can go there are see loads of younger, fitter people naked for a bit of excitement, the reality is that it's full of old men past their prime doing exactly the same thing. Everyone goes home disappointed.

Urgh.
I was once in a regular (non-sex) sauna aboard a cruise ship (it was actually on the cruise duirng which o/h and I got engaged, but that's by-the-bye.)
Anyways I was in there minding my own business, before going for the plunge pool, when a very hairy fat guy started obviously coming on to me, asking if I had a girlfriend and what I was doing on the cruise etc. He then undid his towel and flashed his grotesque winky at me.
I mean, what is wrong with people? It was so crude. There's no wonder gay men get a bad name.

I think whilst nakedness is normal in a sauna (as any Scandanavian will attest), perving is most definitely a no-no, irrespective of the sexuality of the clientelle.
Well, I had to deliver something to a particularly expensive and trendy one in Covent Garden once, I saw lots of lovely fit men wandering around past reception, draped in white towels.
What goes on? From what my gay friends told me, anything you can imagine!
On the other hand, there are the more usual seedy full-of-desperate-old-men establishments around.

When guys talks about going to a sauna in this context, he's not talking about the sort of sauna you go to after a workout.
Usually, they're the most awful places. In this age of grindr, sex parties, swingers clubs and internet hookups, why anyone would go to one of the those disease pits for a lay is beyond me.

Why don't people have sex at home?

Because their wives are at home.
You have to tidy up first.
Yes quite.

Ask John Travolta.
You mean they're frequented by Olivia Neutron-Bomb in her sew-in trousers?? :eek:
How come at the end of that movie THE CAR FLIES! I've never understood that
