Wearing Jockstrap at Bathouse?

[Bigbubble12]

I went to a bathouse for the first time recently and an older fella told me I shouldn’t be wearing it there. Just a towel. I noticed they had some for sale and I asked the front desk guy if it was ok to wear and he said absolutely.
I was the only one wearing one there which surprised me…also, what are the assumptions/stereotypes of wearing one at a bathouse? What do regular patrons think?

I've seen people running around naked, underwear, jocks, leather gear, towels, even in t-shirts in a bath house. I understand every bath house has its own clientele and atmosphere, but not wearing the standard towel should be the least of his concern. I was actually forced to wear a jock recently because the bath house ran outta towels (machine broke), so it was either come back another day or go whatever I got (which was a jock at the time.)

Ya he was just a grumpy regularI think…are you assumed to be a bottom if worn there?

 

[lovemyjockbriefs]

No way, no assumptions. Would just assume he's a jock/sport enthusiast.

Seen few guys at the baths wearing jocks its turn on.

In my experience, patrons assume that you’re a bottom if you’re wearing a jock.

A few things to be aware of...
1) every bath house has a different vibe or culture and, in some, there's an expectation of total nudity. Anything more than a towel is considered "clothed" and thus "rude" or tacky. If most other patrons are nude or in a towel and you are wearing a jock, it can be perceived that you are there to be a pervy voyeur and not a participant.
2) back when bath houses were more prevalent, there was a whole system of nonverbal communication of "what you're into". A jockstrap signified a desire to receive anal sex (dick sheathed n ass out)...consider if you intend to convey that message.

I very much hope that they do! For a start it saves hooking up with a guy who ticks all of my boxes, but then after some great foreplay, discovering that they don’t top.
There’s nothing more frustrating.

At a bathhouse, definitely.

I would not risk bottoming at a bathouse, no?

What would we tops do without bottoms who were adventuresome at bathhouses?

It depends on what precautions you take to avoid STIs etc - condoms, PrEP, PEP, ensuring that your Hep B levels are OK and getting a booster as necessary, plus regular check-ups at your local GUM clinic.
I’ve survived the HIV crisis, the Monkey Pox blip in the UK and now the rise of antibiotic resistant gonorrhoea.
However, I did contract shigella (v nasty form of dysentery which took 3 weeks to clear and two years for my gut bacteria to recover) from rimming a guy. My fault because there were warnings in that particular sauna.
I’m more worried about contracting Covid in a sauna (bathhouse) than most of the above.

Perhaps some bathhouses have a certain dresscode but I’ve never been to one. Just be yourself and wear what you want!

 

[Opinionman]

I can see how wearing a jock might send the signal that you're a bottom, but I ALWAYS wore white jockstraps at sex clubs and bath houses, and no one ever asked. (Getting fucked is something I will never do and have never done, but I'll defend with my life y right to wear a fuckin JOCKSTRAP at these places. To me, it made me stand out: not just another (pretty!) anonymous face with a towel, but someone with some élan!)

Unfortunately, I encountered shigella, too. Having a sigmoidoscopy without sedation was not fun. As I was suspended almost upside down, the specialist politely said, "Dr. X is here from Hong Kong. Would you mind if he took a look?" Having no dignity left anyway, I said, "Sure."

No laughing matter . . . yet it reminds me of an ancient Sophie Tucker joke Bette Midler used to use in her stand-up. Long, but the punchline was, “Doc, do me a favor. Look up my ass and tell me if my hat’s on straight.”

Ha! Sophie Tucker.

That guy sounds like a total buzzkill and an asshole. He’s probably jealous to see a bubble butt jock like you. A jock is the most appropriate thing to wear at the baths imo.

What would we tops do without bottoms who were adventuresome at bathhouses?

thank you! I appreciate that as an adventuresome bottom - every time I go to the baths I know I make at least one guys entire day

I wouldn’t get boned at a bathouse I just like showing off my big ass to fellow patrons

This is a good point. Next time I go to a bath house I'm gonna go dressed as Sophie Tucker.... (Can you imagine!? ha!)

 

[Opinionman]

Oh wait... you mean BATH HOUSE??
I thought you meant, ya know, like Batman and Robin: The Bat House.
Certainly no superhero was as hot as Adam West in the 60's tv show Batman...
