Are NYC bathhouses LGBTQ+ friendly?
There are no gay bathhouses or saunas in nyc because they were all closed during the hiv/aids crisis. Illicit cruising happens in some spaces which means full anal isn’t that common to begin with since it’s much less discrete. The good news is that new york city still has one exclusively gay sauna, one mixed one, and two cruise clubs. The almost 50-year-old sauna is in midtown. The other sauna and a cruise book shop are in the east village, very close to gay bars, and the other cruise shop is on the upper west side.
