🛀
it's essentially a bunch of saunas and a bunch of cold rooms in one area so you get really hot then get really cold then get really hot then get really cold and so on and so forth. i've wanted to go to the russian turkish bathhouse since i saw the interviews outside with those gays who were absolutely glowing. they looked so happy i assumed it was a bathhouse in the 80s type of way and i was heartbroken because i really wanted in on both the gay sex part and the bathhouse part. turns out they dont do the gay sex part anymore! so now ive been obsessed with the idea of having a beast mode workout on a saturday, getting crazy sore, going in on a sunday, and letting the heat from the russian turkish bathhouse touch me in places i've never been touched before. none of my friends want to go with me because they think it sounds "unsanitary" and "torturous" 🙄 WHATEVER!!! they just don't have the spirit of a warrior. a little scared to go bc everyone they post on their instagram looks like the have an equinox membership but at the end of the day in the banya we all семья

i want to gatekeep but in the spirit of PI i am going to say..... the russian & turkish baths on e 10th st has it all: unflattering green shorts, old ukranian men, a truly awful lingering sweaty stench, a deli, a cold plunge i lasted all of 20 seconds in, walkability from my apartment, and an undeniable sense of camaraderie & community ..... 10/10 no notes

Bathhouse's are a great way to wind down from a busy week so I make it a habit to go every Sunday night. It’s a great way to catch up one on one with a friend, without distractions. And you get the best sleep over your life afterwards. I also feel like this is a “New York Thing” to take advantage of because there are so many great options. Personally, I love Spa88 in the financial district but oftentimes visit the one in the east village as well.

we're losing the holy war to virgins and wattpaders. males would rather spend an evening watching sissy hypno jois than fucking a real life woman. lesbian cinema has been plagued by the yearndemic as if hollywood can't imagine two women wanting to go at it nasty style. all the fasion forcasters are saying oversized utilitarian shlop is in for 2025. dating apps practically let you mail order cock to your house and yet we're fucking less than ever. what the fuck is going on? when reagan was in office robert mapplethorpe taking photos of a guy in a gimp suit with a cum guzzling tube coming from his mouth. we need that back. i think latex is one of the few materials that trancends the digital hellscape we're living in right now. it engages the senses. you can look at a photo of someone wearing latex and know exactly what it smells like and tastes like and feels like. it's the closest one can get to nudity while being fully clothed. it tantalizes because it relies so heavily on implication. in an era where you can get on the internet and view 4k photos of body parts the victorians only saw after a decade of marriage, latex delays gratification by forcing the observer to fill in the blanks. the people in office are trying to scrub the earth of anything they find perverse and replace artists with thieving robots who only work because of the centuries of human creativity that came before them. fantasy is one of the only things unique to human sexuality. we need to be reveling in it, not supressing it!!!
