Bathhouse Babylon
Drawing from my diaries and over 13 years of experience in the bathhouse industry across North America, Bathhouse Babylon offers an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at this unique world. The book charts my journey from a regular customer to managing three gay sauna establishments, providing an insider's perspective that is as candid as it is captivating. Bathhouse Babylon reveals the intricate subculture of bathhouses, a realm often hidden from the public eye. Through vivid storytelling, it shares the unusual and shocking sex stories that are an integral part of this environment. Yet, the narrative also delves into the sociological aspects, exploring the dynamics at play in a venue teeming with half-naked men in party mode.

If you can imagine it, it happens in a bathhouse. Originally published in 2021, "Bathhouse Babylon - Full Release" has been completely rewritten in this final version, featuring additional chapters packed with even more salacious tales of sex and scandal.
