The public bath has always been a place for encounters, places with a big  history to tell. Way back in Roman times a bath was an important social meeting place, and they were used to relax, to discuss political issues or just to make clear who was who in Roman society. Not only for the Roman men the bathhouse was popular, but for all men around the mayor cities  in the old world, later in the 19th century the Bathhouses started to be popular among gay men in America, when being an homosexual was illegal and a crime against nature, they became places for casual encounters, where no one judge, where everybody looked for the same thing. The popularity of Bathhouses never fell out of fashion, even today are popular places for men all around the mayor cities, men who look for some time to relax or to spend  a nice time with other men, just as in the old world.

Some things never change.

Intimacy is the feeling of being closed to someone, is when two people share their emotions, fears and desires, able to be emotionally open with one another, able to genuinely trust one another, and feel able to take the risk of being vulnerable, share quite moments or be able to watch someone peacefully sleeping next to you, a universal need that keep us away from loneliness. 

*Sex and intimacy are not the same thing. Sex without intimacy can be very unrewarding, just as sex with intimacy can be deeply passionate and fulfilling. It is also possible to experience intimacy without sex.
