GAY SNAS LONDON

Hero is a health club, for gay and bisexual men. The Northwich Sna, Wngton, Chhire, is a space for 'gay, cur and bisexual men to e, relax and be themselv', the pany says.

Charts is a gay sna that’s somehow stood firm and risted the velopers for nearly 20 years. Amidst a vastatg year for gay venu London, alarm bells were set off June when was reported that the se might make way for a luxury hotel, but thankfully for s patrons, there’s been very ltle follow-up. ‘It was found 1997, ’ says staff member Lewis, ‘when fdg a fy, welg place to be openly gay or explore your sexualy was perhaps tougher than is now.

For the uniated, a gay sna is, as our listg onle stat: ‘like a leisure centre, but wh sex’ – a place where men cise and hook up. ‘That always ma me giggle – the last thg a gay du to a sna for is a mouthful of fish. ‘Some misnceptns are fuelled by homophobia’.

Speakg of hair, you might image that wh that zty, naturel activy gog on, a gay sna would be ked lube and all manner of curly follicl.

There are still a lot of gay or bisexual guys who aren’t out.

Sadly, I fear some misnceptns are fuelled by homophobia.

INSI CHARTS, LONDON'S BIGGT GAY SNA

If was a straight swgers’ club, might be seen as cheeky, racy, darg, but bee ’s a gay spot, ’s more likely to be nsired sleazy and gross. Back to Bristol’s Gay Village Listgs. The Village Sna is one of the olst tablished gay venu Bristol and is loted the heart of Bristol’s gay village, open day and night wh sna, Jacuzzi, fe and private bs the venue is welg place for gentlemen.

Before ronavis h, Charts Vxhall claimed to be ​“Europe’s largt gay sna” for men wantg steam, queer mararie and a potential subterranean hook-up. Charts Vxhall was the last survivg outpost of a gay sna cha which at s 2005 peak had six branch dotted across London.

In 2021, gay snas are faced wh the same toxic cktail of threats as any other LGBTQ venue. But when we talk about savg our val queer spac, gay snas tend to be exclud om the nversatn. Nick Batt, owner of Pk Broadway Southampton, says a lol rad statn was terted hearg about his stggle to survive the panmic as a small bs owner until he said he ran a gay sna.

Even wh the LGBTQ muny, gay snas have a lgerg image problem. In 2016, gay magaze Attu published an op-ed tled: ​“Perhaps the time has e for gay snas to close – and that’s fe.

THE FUTURE OF BRA’S GAY SNAS

Pl Town, manager of The Locker Room South London, says is rctive to pigeonhole all gay snas as ​“expensive knockg shops”. Clearly, gay snas exist so that men have n sex wh men a space that isn’t their home, a hotel or a cisg spot. Sce I started visg gay snas a ago, I’ve seen steam room i, group jack-off ssns the showers and men wag expectantly large leather slgs.

WHEN I WAS HOMELS, I SOLD MY BODY GAY SNAS TO SURVIVE

In my experience, gay snas are sexy, sex-posive spac where not everyone ends up havg sex. “Nobody ever talks about the lonely olr gay man, ” says Pk Broadway’s Nick Batt. ​“Maybe their partner’s passed away and they want some pany, but they don’t feel like they belong the [gay] bars bee you’re visible those plac if you’re over 40.

” Batt also says his sna provis a safe space for gay and bi men who aren’t out. ​“I’d say up to 70 per cent of our ctomers don’t live what you’d ll a ​‘gay liftyle’, ” he says.

​“I’ve had ctomers e up to me and say: ​‘My mum died yterday and she never knew I was gay. Gay snas like London’s Pleasuredrome, which pre-Covid opened 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, n also bee a refuge for vulnerable and homels young men.
