So, someone offered me money for sex last night . . .

[grunter]

Late yesterday afternoon, I was at the tubs escaping the oppressive Chicago summer heat. It's always nice to be someplace with central air on a day like yesterday (92 degrees and 80% humidity) and it's even nicer when you can stroll around that place wearing nothing but an ill-fitting towel while oggling other virtually nekkid men in various states of excitability and tumescence. If you know what I mean.

So I'm making the rounds of the closet maze, checking out the half-opened doors, perusing the dark playspaces and gloryhole nooks, when this man crotch-grabs me in an extraordinarily impure manner and makes the typical awkward "look-at-me-I'm-a-clueless-married-guy-in-the-bathhouse" come-on that you've no doubt heard a million times over. (e.g. "Oh you're really hot. Do you lift weights? Wanna come back to my room?) I casually rebuffed him and continued cruising. But he persisted, asking me anything at all just to get me to keep talking to him. I non-committally answered a few of his more innocuous questions, but stopped short of giving him a real answer to the big question: "What do you like?" I just gave him a sour look and shifted my eyes away and tried to make tracks towards a more public space.

In a terrible act of desperation, the guy blurts out: "Do you want some money? I've got $100."

I froze. I couldn't quite believe what I'd heard. I turned around, my jaw dangling and just stared at the guy. I mean, WTF? Seriously, WTF? I didn't know whether to be insulted or amused. Did I really look like the hustler type?

Now, most folks on the site know that I'm a big bear of a guy. I weigh in at around 250 lbs. I've got a flattop, a full round beard and yes, I do lift weights, thank you very much. I'm top heavy, with very broad muscular shoulders, a burly barrel-shaped chest and a solid, Shatner-esque, beer-gut. In the context of the baths, my gayness and my bear status I would think would be pretty obvious. Outside of that context on the street, because of my imposing blue-collar stature, folks have mistaken me for everything from an off-duty cop to a long haul truck driver.

For someone to come up to me - me! - and offer me money to play just completely blew my mind. That takes either serious stupidity or some serious balls.

I just frowned at the guy and with as much disgust in my voice as I could muster I said: "NO!" Which effectively shut him down for the moment. But every time I'd pass him in the hallway thereafter, he kept begging me to "think it over."

When I related the story to my partner (who was busy in one of the closet rooms himself, BTW) on the way out, he couldn't stop laughing. I was "his big bear hoo-oar" for the rest of the evening - a fact that he took great pleasure in relating to several of our friends over the phone last night. He even offered me $10 to clear off the dining room table after dinner. (I'll get that bitch. Just you wait and see.)

So I ask you. Should I have been complimented by this man's offer? Or was my instant revulsion warranted? It completely creeped me out as it was happening. But looking back, I'm wondering whether I over-reacted.

[Mopower]

Were you at the White Swallow Spa? (southpark reference)

Thats a little messed up. I'd feel flattered yet sicked at the same time. AND NEVER GO BACK!

[Jepthah]

That's a compliment, no matter how awkward, you can't deny facts. :)

I don't think I could handle being a gay man--assaulted with hormones and libidos as raging as my own. -eek-

[joeblow69]

You forgot to mention if the guy was cute or not! I mean, really, isn't the point of hanging out at Steamworks to have sex with hot guys? If the guy was cute, and he wants to pay you for something you probably would have done anyway, why not?

My boyfriend had an ex who called him up was talking to him a while ago. After about a half an hour the guy starting trying to convince my bf to stop over for a little "hanky-panky". My bf told him no way, and the guy said "What if I was to leave a 50 dollar bill on the nightstand?" My bf laughed it off and told the guy no, who then put in a bid for $100. My bf pretty much just hung up on him at that point, and then started telling me the whole story.

He was acting all disgusted that someone would offer him money for sex, then all of a sudden got a weird look in his eye and said "I wonder how high he would have gone??"

[Bushdog]

I didn't know DTSC was in Chicago yesterday afternoon.

;)

[Bushdog]

Seriously though, I'd have been offended. I mean I take it as a compliment when a guy checks me out or compliments my looks, part of my body, etc. . . But if he ever offered me money I would assume he thought I was a cheap whore who would go against my tastes and interests and instead have sex for money.

IMHO it is an insult to you.

[Giantrobo]

Grunter? Is this you?

That would be a big "no."

Think James Wood gone to seed, "Mickey Rourke"-style.

So not my type.

Of course, had he been - we wouldn't even be discussing it right now. ;)

Ah, but it's so very much simpler to take care of those, ah, "needs."

And with two guys in the very same, uh, "mindset" - let's just say this: fireworks - End of the World frickin' fireworks.

[debbert]

I would have found it to be a compliment either way. Some guys are so deperate to have sex with someone they find hot that they think they need to offer money on certain occasions.

I've never accepted money for sex but would if a marginally unattractive man approached me with it. Hell...he gets what he wants and I get to get off...AND get cash.

I'm not in a relationship and it wouldn't be any different than any one night stand I took home...other than the fact that he offered money.

To me it's no big deal.

Actually in the bath-house environment, that's a very common way of saying "hello." Short of using "roofies" on someone or serious physical violence, no guy at the baths is going to file charges against anyone else. We're all there for the same thing, if you know what I mean.

Verbal communication at the tubs is usually kept to a bare minimum and anyone who's chatting or gossiping or carrying on gets the grumpy stare of death, meaning: "you're-killing-my-erection-bitch-so-take-it-outside-to-the-lounge."

As the Pet Shop Boys say:

"To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare
And once in a while
A smile, if you dare"

Or in the baths - "a grope, if you dare"

[Cool Kitten]

i've never been offered money but my guy keep talking of pimping me out...:(

[Nick Danger]

I think the guy was totally clueless, and stupid to boot. When I'm clueless, I shut up and watch how other people do it. He didn't, so he's stupid. I've never been in a bathhouse, but, from your reaction, offering a guy a C-note in a bathhouse is incredibly guache. However, that was just a social mistake, wrong behavior for the environment. Persisting, after you'd made it clear that you weren't interested, was beyond gauche. He was so self-absorbed with his own needs that he didn't notice the reaction that he caused in you.

I only take offense if insult was intended, so I wouldn't have been insulted. He was only clueless, stupid, gauche, and selfish. But, good lord, he would be a lousy f***.

[joltaddict]

I had a guy offer me $200 to blow me once. I wasnt offended but I was baffled. I dont know if its just because Im straight but why would you pay to be on that end of the transaction?

It might have had something to do with your "Ranger's Do It Better" T-Shirt that you were wearing ...

[Giles]

I would be flattered but only if he was in turn good looking. Most of the guys at the bathhouses I've been to are really snotty and uptight, (like excuse me but why are you being picky here when you are here for sex)

He offered you $200?

Now I feel so cheap. How come I wasn't worth two bills, huh? How come?

Lousy bathhouse soliciting married guys anyways. They're just all so fickle and they lie, I tell you, they lie.

Oh, how they lie.

grunter pouts.

[Giles]

the married "straight" guys I have encountered are never cheap and quite nice, thank you,

[Giantrobo]

I don't know....I would be flattered. Horny Gay men don't bother me. ;)

[Giles]

but grunter think of all the dvd's you could buy with 200 bucks in your pocket

[jim_mailman1962]

I would've done it.

[ziggy]

Damn lucky gay men! Why don't they make heterosexual bath-houses?

Or am I just missing out? :mad::)

[rodeo]

Just close your eyes....bet you won't be able to tell the difference..... :D

[Nick Danger]

Tsk. Chasing after the straight boys.

They do.

It's called "spring break in Cancun".

Look into it.

In my case the guy was way bigger than me, drunk and aggressive. Plus the GF was somewhere in the club. ;)

[devilshalo]

hmmm.. grunter, take it as a compliment although the way it was presented to me, seemed rather un-savory.

and i can do you one better. i was offered an apartment & $2000 a month just to have this guy go down on me and take me to dinner a couple nights a week.

now, if i were gay, it would have been very tempting. however, i explained to him i was very hetero...

Do you see what being unemployed has done to me?!?! :lol:

[Giantrobo]

BTW, they announced one of the first new TV shows to air on the new Gay cable channel....it's a show set in the good old days of 1950's America.

It's called:

"Leave it...It's BEAVER"

grunter, with pad and pencil in hand: "what was his name and number again?"

[LX98Civic]

That is DISGUSTING!!!

I don't know what I would of done. Probably would of told the guy: "Sorry, I like pu$$y" or "I'm not gay".

BUT, when the guy came back after I told him I would of either caused a scene >>> make him look like a fool or told the staff.

I thought I was going to hear / read my first ever: Girl on street offers guy $$ for sex. Should of known better :rolleyes: :o

Umm...Grunter was in a Gay Bathhouse...so telling the man that he was not Gay, would have made him look kinda stupid....and running to tell the staff that a gay man was trying to pick him up in a gay bathouse...hmmm again not the best way to handle the situation.
:D

F**k! I apologize, but I suddenly have a not so good feeling stomach. Ok, I must unsubscribe from this thread right now. I had no idea there was such a thing.

[grunter]

Aw crap.

There I go again. I've gone and blown the "masquerade."

'Think they'll revoke my pink card for this? Permanently this time?

Straight people aren't supposed to know about the "tubs."

[rodeo]

Straight people aren't supposed to know about the "tubs."

If they didn't know about the tubs, then a lot of the bathouses would close down, because no one would be going to them..... IMO!

You mean like when the missus is frigid and won't put out, so the poor fella has no option but to head on down to the local "men's spa" to get some relief? And since he didn't kiss another guy, suck another dick or have any dick inside him at all - he's (**major rationalization**) "not gay."

:rolleyes:

Darnit. There I go telling secrets again.

You never specified exactly what he expected for his $100

Well neither did he, exactly. And I didn't really stick around to find out.

The words "slave" and "spanking" did leave his lips in his post-rejection entreaties.

grunter don't play that way.

Well unless James Gandolfini wanted me to. Then I might reconsider. "No, no, the wooden paddle, Tony . . . er, MR. Soprano . . . Thank you sir, may I have another?"
