Strange times in a Japanese Bath house


One of the wonderful things about Japan is soaking in a sento, onsen or rotonburri. For those who have never been a sento is a neighborhood bath house - nothing sexual where you go and soak in a hot bath. An onsen is similar but fed by a natural hot spring. A rotonburri is usually naturally hot spring fed but outside.

Now merge these wonderful institutions with a more typical gay sauna/bathhouse experience and it has the possibility of being a lot of fun. Now I am trying to be culturally sensitive, but to a westerner, intimate relations in a foreign country can be a delicate act - especially in Japan where social clues are often hard to read for an American. One attitude is to damn the torpedos and just be an American and if they don't like it ... fuck'em. I try to never to be the "ugly american" and observe or read about cultural norms and then try to live within the rules (when in rome ...) So the first bit of cultural knowledge that overshadowed my experience is the Japanese reticence around foreigners. So its important not to come on too strong or aggressive. On my end I don't have a particular fetish for Asian men - my dictum is a hot guy is a hot guy - but don't tend to go for any particular racial group. I went because I like gay bathouses - if I get off cool - but I wasnt' particularly jonesing for asian tail.

Oh one more strange thing. There is a video room - on the tv was some japanese gay porn. However, it was two older fat middle aged business men having sex. Very odd and not stimulating!

This particular night I was first and foremost looking to unwind after a long day walking and being a tourist, so a hot soak, steam and sauna were in order. Japanese bathouses also serve as a crash joints for guys who stay out too late - so upstairs are sleeping rooms where some fucking goes on but a lot more sleeping happens. The first odd thing is I went upstairs to take a short nap. I covered myself up - faced away from the room and was clearly sleeping not looking for nookie. I dozed off at one point had a sense of someone leaning over me feeling me up. I rolled over groggy and gestured that I wasn't interested and dozed away. This happened a couple times and I gave up on sleeping. Getting up I had the vague feeling of being violated. Being groped in my sleep is not my idea of a good time. I met up with my partner and we headed out, but when I told him - he said that is a very Japanese thing - the pleasuring of someone who is pretending to be sleeping.

We came back another night and I was more in the mood to have some fun.

I spent two years in Japan and a month in a capsule hotel in Tokyo which included public bathing every night. Being a Bi-Curious 20 something I must say that I enjoyed the free 'all I can look at guy buffet' in an environment in which I had the upper hand size wise. When I first arrived I thought all younger Japanese guys were gay. On a western standard their fashion sense, hair styles and waxed eye browns set my gay gadar off the charts. I learnt basic Japanese and attempted to hit on a few guys. At my most direct I would say "I'd love a blowjob" which would normally get the reaction "Good luck" or "Try your best". Your best bet is a gay club in a major city, Osaka, Hiroshima, Nagoya or Tokyo. Its more like the western scene that we're so used to. Look forward to your next post! :P

I'm a Japanese man. I think many Japanese men are curious about caucasian man's body such as dxxk size/shape, pubic hair (color), circumcision, etc..

I think many Japanese men would try to have gay experience with caucasian man even though he isn't really gay.

When I was a college sudent (20 some years ago), I and my friends watched western straight porn magazine. We were talking about caucasian guy's body especially genital area. We were so curious about caucasian's body but we never had a chance to see it because genital area was blacked.

I had a first gay experience with white man four years after I came to the U.S. (I was 27 yrs old) by accident.
I felt I was ashamed, was confused, but I thought white man's naked body was beautiful, especially big hard dxxk and blond pubic hair. When he gave me a blow job, I felt enormous pleasure and I came in his mouth. Great feeling!!!

I would like to hear caucasian man's gay experience with Japanese man.

Would you tell me where I can find these true experience stories?

Thank you. (^~^)
