Here is a review of My Way gay sauna sent in by a reader today:

I went on a Sunday evening and it was not busy; maybe 8 or 10 people max. Perhaps all the fags had gone back to their families for dinner. I wasn't hopeful of getting any, due to the poor quality of what's left swimming around this vast, dimly lit place.

This is one of the bigger saunas in Hong Kong but being a size queen I was not impressed by how they use it. First impressions count, yes, so they shouldn't put a totally ugly bleached blond skeleton at the counter.

How can I describe this place? A shanty town in a typhoon shelter? A hotchpotch of building materials and funiture from the local refuse collection point? It was so dark I couldn't really see clearly.

Next to a row of lockers is quite a big, dark communal shower area, with the nozzles blowing hot and cold. The entrance hangs heavy clear plastic sheets akin to those used in a freezer but since people come in and out it neither keeps the cold out or keeps the warmth in. The shower area is dark only to be punctuated by time controlled LED disco lights. The steam room is dark and laid with chest height walls - dangerous with their sharp hard edges. At the other end is a small sauna but with a big gap at the bottom of the glass door there is a constant draught that makes this tiny room rather useless: you can't enjoy the heat, and it puts off any potential "action".

The "living room" has a big TV showing local TV and bananas (fruit) are on offer. They try to make this into a reading room with lots of old and well fingered magazines but it is so dark I wonder if they have really thought this through.

Two exits flank the living room leading into the even darker dark rooms. Nothing special there - just rows of rooms with people hanging around and a maze attached at the end of the corridor.

Some rooms have connecting peep holes, one room has a 2 way mirror so unsuspecting fags using that room would be giving a free show.

The patrons that night did not excite me - I do lower my standards considerably at saunas but sometimes you just wonder why bother with just another unidentified uninspiring piece of meat. Again since there were not many people I can only say the guys there were mostly skinny young guys and unremarkable John Does.

FuelMix says:

Thanks for sharing your pain.  On 2 occaisons when dropping into saunas in this town and gettting royally pissed off, FuelMix demanded and got a free pass for the next time he might come back. You went on a Sunday evening. That would be graveyard in most saunas in this town.  In due course, FuelMix will drop into this joint and report in his inimitable style.

Apparently they advertise Free Entry for Mr Bigs i.e. 7 inches or more. But if the Reception Desk is manned by "an ugly bleached blond skeleton", that rather crimps the prospect of a free entry does it not? Of course, a patron could always shut his eyes and jack off to a porn fantasy, but that seems more trouble than it's worth.

Would it be rude of FuelMix to brag that he has been serviced in this town by sauna staff during their shift when things were quiet?

Gay Saunas in Very Rich Megacity appear to be along the lines of "so many places, so little choice". If any other reader has a comment on this place, feel free to send it in and FuelMix will publish it.
