An appeals court recently reinstated the gym’s business license, and ruled that the gym should be allowed to continue operation since the business itself could not be directly blamed for turning a blind eye to the incident — and that short of constant monitoring of the steam room, the gym could only do so much to prevent lewd conduct.
Also, across the ocean and dangerously close to Bahrain, we have this tale of a sauna crackdown in mostly liberal Israel, in which officers arrested 11 men and accused them of prostitution. Gays are up in arms, claiming the men were only jacking off or whatever and no money was changing hands, but police beg to differ.
This is all happening a month after this scary-sexy sounding “man cave” was raided in Tennessee with 40 men arrested, and we don’t really appreciate this trend. All we know is, everybody ought to be wary of the guys who troll around with their towels tightly tied, never joining in and looking vaguely scared-they’re probably undercover officers.
