San
Francisco has no real bathhouses. But, we do have
all kinds of sex clubs to suit a variety of tastes.
The clubs listed below do not have private rooms
with doors, etc.
If you are looking for the bathhouse experience,
check out:
Steamworks
in Berkeley (2107 4th Street 510.845.8992) or the
Watergarden
in San Jose (1010 the Alameda 408.275.1215). Be
ready, weekends can get very crowded.
Also for many men, the scene in the City has somewhat
shifted to online cruising.
If that’s your thing and you want to let your
fingers do the walking, check out some of these:
Manhuntnet,
Safesexcity.com,
