Married men, especially retired men who spend most of their time at home, understand my problem of finding an opportunity to meet men. Two years ago I finally found a way to meet men during day time even when my wife was not on a trip.
I was offered the job of consultant of a community service. It was a very small contract, only two days per month and in another city. This would involve some commuting but often it would give me several hours off in the afternoon that I spent most of the time in a gay sauna.
I had never been in a sauna and was rather nervous when I arrived the first time. It was still 2 o'clock afternoon so I expected that I came too early. The sauna was located in a busy street in the city center, beneath a cheap hotel.
The unmarked entrance was at the back of the hotel. Going down the stairs I reached a heavy door. I had to ring a bell and a small window was opened by a bare-breasted young man. The first thing he asked me what whether I had proof of my Covid vaccination. I showed him the document on my cell phone.
After paying, I was handed a towel, a pair of beach slippers and a key to my locker. The numbered key was on a rubber band so that I could put him around my wrist.
The door was electrically opened and with a loud bang it was closed behind me.
Inside, it was rather dark, as in a bar at night. A few men were undressing and putting a towel around their waists. My towel was too small for that so after a few attempts to cover my body, I just put the towel over my shoulder and walked around checking the place.
At the center was a small bar where this same bare-chested man was serving. There were showers, wet and dry sauna rooms, a bubbling Jacuzzi, several benches and places to lie down. A few men were watching gay porn movies on a screen. There was quiet background music.
Very often men disappeared behind a curtain and returned after a few minutes.
The most remarkable thing about the place was that nobody was talking. Maybe the cause of that was that there were mainly middle-aged or old men.
Imagine having 25 women together, dressed only in a towel. They would be chatting and laughing within minutes, but men don't know what to say to a stranger. They are willing to have oral sex with a stranger but are too shy to talk to him. Or maybe men think that talking is a waste of time when you are looking for sex?
Later I was told that the early afternoon is the time for retired men to visit the sauna, at night the young men appear, and things change.
The curtain made me curious and I entered the room. There was almost complete darkness. I could distinguish several cabins, some of them could be reached by climbing a small ladder.
All cabins had curtains. Some cabins were occupied and their curtains closed. I could hear the sound of kissing and cock sucking. A few men were standing and stroking their cock. I wondered how to make contact with a man. Should I say something or touch a man?
I tried my luck and simply said to somebody: "How do you make contact here?"
The answer was that he took my hand and placed it on his erect penis.
I stroked his cock and felt his balls. Nice and heavy.
"Do you want me to suck it?" I asked the man whose face I could not see.
His reply was to push my head toward his cock. After sucking his cock for a few minutes, the man took me by the arm into the nearest cabin. The cabin held a mattress, nothing more, except for a very small light.
