Ah! I've heard of Gay Saunas yes! But had never heard of this specific "boilerhouse".

My personal view: Wouldn't look down on anyone using a place but definately, definately not for me! I have to be able to have a decent conversation with someone before I can have sex with them!

Hi, Im 19,in the closet! I always wanted to go, needed to! I was up in dublin for a match the night before and had it in my head to go.I was very drunk but somehow managed to find it, was quiet apprehensive.I think i went in roughly round 2am on a Saturday night so was pretty busy. I went in got the towel, condoms ,etc.Once you pay, your straight in to guys getting changed in the locker room!! Put the towel around you, go explore! Yes as someone was saying I was walking around with a boner , hard not to,I found it very exciting. Guys in towels everywhere.I like older 40-50, not that many, from what i saw a lot of thirty somethings. Made eye contact with a very good looking older man, chatted to him , went to a private booth, extremely horny at this stage , invited another eager older man along. Did our thing.That was great , went to leave with the 1st good looking man whom id taking a liking to.We were going to exchange numbers etc, turned my back in the changing room and he was gone!! I later remembered he told me he was married! ah well! I still hadn't blown my load at this stage for some reason and horny as hell after coming out, hailed a taxi on the nearest road to it there. Yes he looked after me! Free taxi too! He later told me all the gay taxi drivers cruise at this time or something around 3am or that. Thats my story, haven't been there since!

Some of my formative years where spent blind drunk in the boilerhouse and later in Chariots when i moved to london.I suppose growing up in rural ireland and begining my gay life cruising the local toilets a sauna is a step up in the world!
I actually used to live down in Essex when working in London and used to regularly miss the last train home after pissing it up around Soho,well where is the cheapest place to stay in london? chariots for a tenner!!

Well being still in the closet (at 34 )and from a rural town ........this story is brill. Would love to have the courage to go myself. Sounds a very interesting place to go. Anymore stories from there?

I find the Boilerhouse has almost become a mainstream destination for a significant portion of the gay community (and for plenty of closeted "straight" men too) to visit, particularly at night and it gets mobbed at weekends after the bars/clubs have ended. You can find some absolutely gorgeous (and approachable and up for it ) guys in there that you feel you could never pick up in a bar.

There is nothing too underground or particularly edgy/racy about BH as far as I can see. Plenty of gay bars in most international cities have far more of an underground, shadowy edgy atmosphere with far more racy and in your face hi-jinks and risque things going on which are fine too, of course!!;)

The BH is actually a safe environment to indulge in a bit of fun as long as you take all the necessary precautions (free condoms/lube provided onsite) and most people in there seem friendly and sane and are just like you looking for a bit of no strings action. You will get the odd unwanted weirdo or groper coming on a bit strongly but you'd get that in a club. I would recommend for a first visit that you are not over intoxicated with booze just so that you have your wits about you and familiarise yourself with the routine. I would also recommend you avoid any people who loiter around outside the BH after you've finished who try to make contact with you. Some of the are good looking guys who target gays coming out and then mug them of their wallets etc while pretending to be making a move with you.

i was there thisd week = thurs night. Mainly full of older (50+) guys in not great shape. Got propositioned by father Jack in the sauna and surrounded by 3 guys in the steam room reaching for my cock!! Did escape with a very nice guy to a private booth for a long snog and a satisfying conclusion. Verdict - not sure. If I hadnd met that one guy (Michael) it would have been very disappointing

They are in one of the saunas I was in outside Ireland. The Boilerhouse tends to get the marrieds as much as the out gays.

The men are generally in better condition *anywhere* outside of Ireland, not just the saunas.

No, really, its not. Men in Ireland don't take care of themselves at all. Said as an Irish man.

Compared with where? All countries in the whole world? And all other gay men in all other countries take care of themselves? I know what you're saying but there are lots of ugly and out-of-condition guys in other countries too!

I don't totally disagree with you. I just don't think it's as black and white. Of course, you're basing it on your own experience and that's fair enough. But it's subjective.

My main gripe with Irish men is that most of the ones you come across online on dating sites don't know how to hold a conversation. They wouldn't know how to chat if their life depended on it! This is also obviously just based on my own experience.

Chief, if you find this with a wide spectrum of guys, maybe the interaction problem could be yours?

i went along for the first time about 2 months ago and found the whole experience just so so. Compared with saunas on the continents it was grotty, plus the temperature was on the chilly side, like they were trying to save money (lukewarm water, not much heat coming out of the sauna... admittedly it was a bit early of a midweek night 8-10pm). My preference is for older like 50+ but all that were there were 30 somethings or one or two really old creeps that would jump on anything. Went into a cabin by myself and wanked. The quality of the porn was pretty rank too tbh. Next time i'll turn up later in the night.

I find that in Ireland the proportion of men with foreskin problems is hundreds of times more than in any other country. Phimosis in not uncommon, as is a generally tight foreskin, but for some reason a proportion of Irish men who suffer from those sorts of problems don't get it checked out and rectified.

I think there is little less attractive than a guy with a tight, non retracting foreskin, and have often wondered why there are such a high proportion of men in Ireland with that problem.

Its checked for as a child in other countries, its not here.

Its usually easily treatable without requiring a circumcision too, if done early enough it can be done with steroid cream and later on can usually just have a freunloplasty. Think people are scared they'll need a full circumcision...

At a young age my GP suggested pulling it back slowly in a warm bath.

I wonder why it is not checked in Ireland? To my mind its pretty disgusting (apart from being unhygenic) and I can't understand why any man with the problem wouldn't want to get it fixed.

Didn't know what that condition was, so I looked it up on wikipedia. I'm sorry but the picture on the wiki page had me in stitches laughing. Sorry, I'm cruel.

Hi there, what is it like on a mid-week night, say Wed. midnight on?

Thinking of indulging

Whiteblueman, please stop asking the same question on multiple bolierhouse threads, and bumping old threads in the process.

Thanks.

Here's a question for y'all: What would be the female equivelent of The Boilerhouse, as in a place where women can go to have sex with women?

How long has whiteblueman been dithering about going? Must be at least three years at this stage.

I wonder how many biscuits Whiteblueman would eat before he realises he doesn't like them, before continuing to consume the whole packet.

Humble apologies if I've offended Whiteblueman, or, indeed, anyone with my post above, it was not my intention to do so.

I've always been fascinated with the place, but only ever went once. Had the best threesome of my life in there.

And as for the gay taxi drivers, they are HOT!!! Been chatted up by a few but pulled three before and it was always such a thrill. When are they out again? lol
