同志三溫暖,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。
簡介
同志三溫暖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三溫暖的男性都認為自己是男同性戀。為女性提供相似服務的公共浴室很罕見,但是一些男士公共浴室偶爾會設置「女同性戀」或者「僅限女性」的夜晚。
浴室的大小和設施各有不同:有的僅有一二十個房間和一些寄存櫃;有的有好幾層,房間大小不等風格各異甚至有蒸汽桑拿、噴流式氣泡浴和游泳池。大多數都配備蒸汽室(或濕桑拿)、干桑拿、淋浴、寄存櫃和小房間。
很多浴室出於法律原因僅限會員進入,會員資格一般是開放的,只要交很少的錢。與妓院不同的是,顧客只需要支付使用設施的費用。如果發生了性行為,一般不是由員工提供的,而是在顧客之間發生的,這其中沒有金錢交易。很多同志三溫暖為了遵守法律,明確表示禁止或不鼓勵性交易並禁止性工作者混入。一些公共浴室嘗試阻止顧客發生商業行為,另外一些貪圖利潤或不懼怕法律風險的浴室,會默許這些性行為的進行,但不會聲張。
歷史
男性在浴室中尋求同性性行為可追溯到15世紀。公共浴室的歷史課上溯至公元前6世紀,希臘也有很多同性性行為的歷史紀錄。
歐美的男同性戀自19世紀末或20世紀開始在公共浴室中發生性行為,由於同性性行為當時在大多數西方國家是不合法的,而且發生同性性行為的男性會被逮捕或當眾羞辱,男同開始經常在很多場所尋求與同性發生性行為,包括公共浴室、公園、小巷、公共廁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。
禮儀
顧客一般在入口處獲得了毛巾、一個儲物櫃鑰匙和保險套等。不成文規定是穿著浴衣或毛巾才可以在公區走動,但在干桑拿或蒸汽桑拿中裸體也是正常的。[2]除了休息室、飲品區、暗室和按摩浴缸之外,性活動可以發生在任何地方,任何人都可以自由觀看或嘗試加入。[3]
在這種充滿激情的環境中,一個眼神或點頭就足以表達興趣。在較暗的地方,例如迷宮、視頻室、群交區、桑拿房或熱水浴缸(但通常不在淋浴間、廁所、走廊、健身房、咖啡廳區和休息室),通常可以自由觸摸其他顧客,但搖頭或推開對方的手,則表示拒絕。[4][5]
我通常發現有些人不會走開。當他們手伸向你的胯部時,你真的必須抓住他們的手並將其推開。有時我必須這樣做兩三四次,他們才善罷甘休,有時我實際上不得不對他們說滾蛋。
