The basics
What Is a Gay Sauna?
A gay sauna - also called a men's sauna, male sauna, or gay bathhouse - is a private venue for men who have sex with men. Every UK gay sauna includes wet facilities like steam rooms, dry saunas, and showers.
These venues are open to gay, bisexual, bi-curious, and questioning men. You don't need to identify as anything to visit.

Common Questions
Do you have to be gay?
No. UK gay saunas welcome men of all sexual orientations - gay, bisexual, bi-curious, and questioning. No venue asks you to identify or explain yourself.
Can you go on your own?
Yes - most people do. Venues are designed for solo attendance: single-occupancy lockers, individual towels, no plus-one required.
Do you have to have sex?
No. Sexual activity is available but never expected, required, or assumed. Many visitors use only the wet facilities - steam rooms, saunas, jacuzzis.
What do you need to bring?
