The One on Saunas

Some people like to call it Spa, sounds more high class and atas. Others might call it cruising place, church, temple, bathhouses, you-name-it.

In Sotongball's humble opinion, a good sauna should possess the following attributes/facilities:

• Dry and wet sauna
• Hot and Cold jacuzzi
• Private rooms with mattress and toilet rolls
• Shower points
• Condoms and packet lubricants
• Clean and white towels
• Drinks and snacks bar
• CLEAN!
• Centrally located
• Affordable and reasonable rates (student/NS rates is a must)
• Slings (optional)
• Theme nights (optional)

Of course the good mix of crowds will come when most of the above requirements are fulfilled, yeah you can't expect your inner circle of friends to go there and support you week in week out.

Used to be one of my favorite haunts, every man with raging testosterone will go there for a sole purpose - sex. (Whether they get it or not is totally a separate issue) on top of enjoying the facilities if any. So, sometimes you might hear people snoring in there, people trying to climb up the doors to peek at others, watching TV shows, or even knocking on other people's door!

Clueless of what to do inside? Haven't been to one before? Let me share with you my SOP (sotongball's operating procedure) in there

1. Arrive at doorstep, ask whether is there any student rate if applicable.
2. Make payment, get the keys and towel.
3. Enter and head straight into the locker room.
4. Find your local and strip (including your underwear!)
5. Wrap the towel around your waist.
6. Take a shower (IMPT!)
7. Explore the place and crowd
8. If you see someone your type, try to establish eye contact
9. If he notices and give you a signal to follow him, mai tu liao!
10. If he bo chap, don't waste your time, you're probably not his type. Next!
11. Repeat step 7-10 till you get your money worth either in the open or in one of the private rooms.
12. When there is no one your type, either lower your expectations, widen your taste buds, or simply enjoy the facility.
13. Leave the place back to your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or family. smile

Trips to saunas can get a bit unpleasant, when some of the facilities like the steam room is not functioning well, the staffs were too lazy to clean the stains off the mattress, or some persistent ass who can't stop harassing you despite multiple gestures of saying "NO"

Things to note in saunas to make your visit as worth it as the rest:

• Do not linger in your civilian clothes for too long, dress code in saunas are usually birthday suits w,w/o towels and you should respect it
• Do learn how to take "NO" as an answer (its not that you're too ugly or anything, its just that the other guy is more picky)
• Do be considerate and wipe off any visible stain after you release your load (never do it in the pool!)
• Men are on a first cum first serve basis, so don't operate in a communist system

That's all, coming up next will be the review of Saunas that sotongball has been to
