Japanese Bathhouse

I have never been to a bath house in my life. My knowledge about bath houses all came from blogs - gay blogs.  I discovered in those blogs that in bathhouses in the Philippines, you should leave all your shyness at the door because everybody walks around naked with cock whipping and balls hanging. There is a wet area where you can find the baths, sauna, steam room and shower. They say that's where the action takes place. So in short, you go to bathhouses if your looking for some titillating escapade.

So that's what got me excited when I found out that I am going to go to a bathhouse here in Japan. Well aside from experiencing an authentic bathhouse for the first time, I would get to a see a sausage fest of sorts, have a relaxing massage, and hopefully experience some Japanese fun. I was darn nervous but excited.


After settling with the bath house receptionist, I was lead by the staff to the men's area to the locker room. I had an hour before my massage so I could take my time in the pools. As I look around, the first thin I saw was an old naked man. So far, I didn't like what i saw - all wrinkles. I hoped it could get better in the baths.

Quite clueless and helpless, I looked around. Finally, I reached the bathing area. It was good that I read in an article in the internet that it is customary to clean yourself first before dipping in the pools. It was rude to just go in the pool without washing one's self. You'll surely a bad rep from the locals.

So I went to shower first and soap up. In the bathing area, there was as 2 sauna rooms - dry and salt, cold bath, jacuzzi, lying pool, and outside pool. I tried the lying pool and tried to sight-see. But the experience that I had was far from what I expected.

Based on what I saw when I went to a Japanese Bathhouse for the first time, I can say that mostly old people still enjoy the culture of bath houses. I didn't see anyone in my age bracket - no one was in his 20's. All of the bath goers were in their 40's-60's - maybe even 70's.  Well, for me it was both good and bad. Good because I didn't have to care about sporting a hard-on since nothing in there was arousing. Also, I didn't have to self conscious of my built, and 'size' since clearly there's no competition. It was a boost on self-esteem and perception. And lastly, I could have a clean, authentic Japanese bathhouse experience. The only bad thing here is that I didn't get any.

So I just stuck to sigh-seeing and sizing up dicks and balls. Here are some of my observations of Japanese meat, and you may dispute these if you're japanese by sending me a pic of your 'asset.' The people I saw have penis' smaller than average Filipinos. But what they lack in size, they mad up in their ball sacks; they were all hung. I was a bit shock how low their balls go. Was that caused by aging and gravity? I don't know. I've never encountered, personally, someone who has that pendulum-like ball sack.

Well, the japanese bath house experience end well with  a good shiatsu massage that relaxed my aching back and legs. Though nothing sexual happened at least I got a good sweat out of it. I would try it again even just for the sauna and the hot baths. Of course, I'll be hoping for a little action. We'll see.

  1. As a regular of Manila bathhouses, I can attest that guys do not go walking around buck naked. Majority walk around with a (smallish) towel wrapped around their waists. Filipino gay men aren't that brash enough; I attribute it to some form of Pinoy propriety. =)

  3. Er, which bathhouse is this? I've been to a gay bathhouse in Tokyo (I've written about it in my blog) and there were plenty of young people there.

  8. i think better with company. for me it was a wholesome experience.
    ...that almost turned into something, errr, risque.

    it actually depends on your purpose... kung balak mo mamingwit, go alone. you get the picture.

The One

Feeling loved and inspired, I ask my friends, who are in long-term, serious relationships, how and when they realized that their partners were the ones. Here are their answers: 1) "You don't know. You feel . Nagkakasundo kami palagi. And we have similar tastes." 2) " I just felt it . Despite everything that happened to us, we still chose each other . I just knew it. Tapos nagising na lang din ako isang araw na nung nakita ko siya pagkagising ko na katabi ko siya eh iba na yung feeling ko." 3) "Pasok siya sa criteria ko na kailangan lagi ako chinachat. Kaya nga until now lagi pa rin kami magkachat kahit nakatira na kami sa iisang bahay. Pinakaimportante dapat damang dama mo na gustong gusto ka niya.: 4) " Hindi niya ako iniwanan in my lowest point . He's one of the people na napaka-pure ng intention. Love personified." 5) " I just knew somehow .Yung di ako mahihiya ipakilala sa mga tao. Yung di na ako kailangan magtago." 6) "Sig

Update to "Possible plot twist with a twist"

So here's the sitch. Plot twist (PT) and I aren't chatting no more. "Why?" you might ask. So here's what happened. On the night we were supposed to meet, he bailed. He said that he was going to his friend's birthday party. I call it BS. We've been planning it for more than a year and we've been talking every day and only that night that he tells me he's not available. I wasn't having it.  Anyway, the next day. I had a misfortune. So, my attention from that night before was all gone. I didn't care about him anymore. All that we talked about and discussed seemed like all lies. I unfriended him from social media. Didn't care for someone can't really communicate and wastes people's time. I recently informed his friend that we were exchanging messages. I also told him that I wasn't surprised about PT flaking because he was also flaky. They're friends after all. So there. That's another charge-it-to-experience kind of thin
