Gay Sauna Etiquette 15

A guy I played with at the sauna gave me his Business Card in the locker room without me asking for it.  I was kinda embarrassed coz I would never think of doing that....anonymous sex and all that.....I gave him my fone number but still felt guilty and uncomfortable.  Should I have given him my Business Card?

No.

Read Gay Sauna Etiquette 14 for how FuelMix deals with fone numbers.

Let's put the thing into perspective.  Your sauna trick was entirely comfortable handing out his Business Card to you.  That's his decision.

Your obligation on receiving his card is:

• to respect the trust he's given you;
• to show some fuckin' class;
• to explicitly enquire whether it is OK to call him at work, when the best time to call is AND what you should say to a Secretary, Receptionist, Colleague who picks up the fone - or any other corporate gatekeeper.
• to obey Gay Sauna's Golden Rule - what happens there, stays there;

You are NOT obliged to hand over your Business Card in reciprocation.

If you're comfortable handing out your fone number then do it.

You are perfectly entitled to say that you have never handed out your Business Card (and / or a fone number) in the sauna and would prefer to give out an e-mail address (see the script FuelMix used in Gay Sauna Etiquette 14).  Most gay professionals will understand that.  If he storms off in a hissy fit (as happened to FuelMix once) rip up his Business Card.
