Equus

Submitted by a regular reader in Seoul, South Korea who says that the gay scene there is really taking off.  As part of the database of mens gay saunas in Seoul, this post is about  Equus, a new gay Playspace that is open 24 /7.

Subway No.6 Itaewon Station Exit No.3
Telephone:  02-793-6227
Cost: 10,000 Won overnight /5,000 during the day 
Note:  Open 24 hours


Getting There

• Go straight from Exit No.3, about 2 city blocks past the Fire Station and Police Station. 
• It is on the 3rd floor of building right before the tall Chiel building.
• Note that in Seoul, most people navigate by using urban landmarks.  There does not appear to be a sequential street numbering system.

Facilities & Comment

This is a relatively new location for this "Jimjilbang" (sleeping room). The old location was down the block and very, very small. The old location was either empty, or so full that there was nowhere to play. The new location has plenty of play spaces, and room to spread out.

Weekend overnights are the most crowded, but more attitude at these times. Late mornings on the weekends tend to be the best time to play, as the posers are gone. 

Weekday afternoons very quiet, but evenings after about 9pm can be fun. Most action happens in the bunks. The more shy types will take you to a room to play. Others enjoy the exhibition, as well as occaisional group play. 

Crowd is 80% local, and 20 % foreigner. Condoms and lube supplied and in use for the majority of the players. 

Place is well kept, and since it is new, in good shape. There is a gang shower, as well as 2 private showers near the lockers. The [ gay ] scene in Seoul is growing fast, and inhibitions have fallen away over the last few years.
