同志浴室,亦稱同志桑拿室(英語:Gay bathhouse[註 1]),是供男性與男性可能進行性行為的公共浴場或三溫暖。
简介
同志浴室有別於一般用來洗澡的公共浴室,是用作進行性行為的地方。但不是所有光顧同志浴室的男性都認為自己是男同性戀。为女性提供相似服务的公共浴室很罕见,但是一些男士公共浴室偶尔会设置“女同性恋”或者“仅限女性”的夜晚。
浴室的大小和设施各有不同:有的仅有一二十个房间和一些寄存柜;有的有好几层,房间大小不等风格各异甚至有蒸汽桑拿、喷流式气泡浴和游泳池。大多数都配备蒸汽室(或湿桑拿)、干桑拿、淋浴、寄存柜和小房间。
很多浴室出于法律原因仅限会员进入,会员资格一般是开放的,只要交很少的钱。与妓院不同的是,顾客只需要支付使用设施的费用。如果发生了性行为,一般不是由员工提供的,而是在顾客之间发生的,这其中没有金钱交易。很多同志浴室为了遵守法律,明确表示禁止或不鼓励性交易并禁止性工作者混入。一些公共浴室尝试阻止顾客发生商业行为,另外一些贪图利润或不惧怕法律风险的浴室,会默许这些性行为的进行,但不会声张。
历史
男性在浴室中寻求同性性行为可追溯到15世纪。公共浴室的历史课上溯至公元前6世纪,希腊也有很多同性性行为的历史纪录。
欧美的男同性恋自19世纪末或20世纪开始在公共浴室中发生性行为,由于同性性行为當時在大多数西方国家是不合法的,而且发生同性性行为的男性会被逮捕或当众羞辱,男同开始经常在很多场所寻求与同性发生性行为,包括公共浴室、公园、小巷、公共厕所和健身房更衣室等。
在台灣,至晚在1980年代即有同志三溫暖[1]。
21世記後,由於網路交友的盛行以及許多國家同志合法化,同志三溫暖逐漸式微。
礼仪
顾客一般在入口处获得了毛巾、一个储物柜钥匙和避孕套等。不成文规定是穿着浴衣或毛巾才可以在公区走动,但在干桑拿或蒸汽桑拿中裸体也是正常的。[2]除了休息室、饮品区、暗室和按摩浴缸之外,性活动可以发生在任何地方,任何人都可以自由观看或尝试加入。[3]
在这种充满激情的环境中,一个眼神或点头就足以表达兴趣。在较暗的地方,例如迷宫、视频室、群交区、桑拿房或热水浴缸(但通常不在淋浴间、厕所、走廊、健身房、咖啡厅区和休息室),通常可以自由触摸其他顾客,但摇头或推开对方的手,则表示拒绝。[4][5]
我通常发现有些人不会走开。当他们手伸向你的胯部时,你真的必须抓住他们的手并将其推开。有时我必须这样做两三四次,他们才善罢甘休,有时我实际上不得不对他们说滚蛋。
—— 里奇特斯《性行为的社会建构》(2006,博士论文)
