Straight couple sues YMCA because someone pulled his dick in the sauna

[Guest EXPAT]

A married couple claim in a class action that YMCAs, which advertise themselves as safe for families, with “Christian values,” are actually “brothels” for homosexual men “cruising” for sexual relationships, who subject members to unwanted advances.

Michael Keister and his wife, Susan Lewis-Keister, sued the National Council of the Young Men’s Christian Association of the United States of America dba YMCA of the USA, YMCA of Western North Carolina and five North Carolina YMCA centers.

Keister seeks damages for negligence and infliction of emotional distress from YMCA of Western North Carolina.

Keister, of Asheville, says he decided to buy gym memberships for his family at the local YMCA “because of the YMCA’s image as a safe place for families and children and as [a] place that champions Christian values, such as decency, kindness, and fairness.”

“Keister was showering in the men’s locker rooms showers when two men entered the shower area together from the pool. As Keister stood there, only feet away, the shorter of the two men lathered up the other man and began to fondle the taller man’s genitals. The showers were open and visible to anyone in the locker room.

“When the men noticed the shocked look on Keister’s face, the shorter man replied. ‘What?’, with a menacing tone that made it seem as if Keister was the one who was acting inappropriately.

“‘What?!’ Keister responded, ‘Not appropriate.’ ‘It’s just not appropriate.’

I find this blatant display of sex a bit questionable…

“Unsettled by what he was seeing, Keister left the shower area immediately, got dressed, and reported the incident to the front desk.

“The employee responded, ‘We are aware of this behavior and we’re taking steps to address it. You’re not the first to complain.’ The employee assured Keister that it would not happen again.

Not long after the above incident Keister returned to the Asheville YMCA only to be subjected to yet another “inappropriate” incident.

“This time Keister was in the steam room. As members were coming and going, Keister sat alone on the upper deck with his elbows on his thighs and looking down at the floor.

“When the room had cleared of all but one patron, the man sitting across the room began to clear his throat as if he were trying to get Keister’s attention.

“When Keister looked up at the man, the man revealed his erect penis to Keister and began masturbating energetically while staring at Keister.Keister left the steam room immediately and reported the incident to a female manager on duty and she responded with the same line as the one before her. Having received this assurance from management, Keister relied on this reassurance and continued to make use of the facility.

“A short time later, after a workout, Keister entered the sauna. No one else was in the sauna when Keister entered. Soon, another man entered the sauna and sat down while Keister was reading a newspaper. Suddenly, and seemingly out of nowhere, the man reached over and firmly grabbed Keister’s penis, yanking on it, and would not let it go. ”Shocked, Keister grabbed the man’s arm, pried the man’s hand off his penis and yelled in disbelief. The man ran out of the sauna. ”Still in shock from what happened, Keister tried to collect himself and chase after the man. He went into the dressing area but could not locate him.”

He says he reported the sexual assault to the facility’s new manager, who assured Keister he would take steps to eliminate the problem.

Yet again, he returned for a final visit to the downtown Asheville YMCA center locker room, a man propositioned Mr. Keister for a New Year’s Eve date.”

Why does this never happen to me!! I need to sue all the gyms in the US for discrimination and emotional distress. He must be a hot guy, though!

I understand Mister Keister has returned forty-two times, always with the same result.

Ahahahahaha...my thought also, Lookin.

I noticed we were both logged in to the thread at the same time, MsGuy. I just didn't know which one of us would hit the 'post' button first.

Our collective restraint in not snickering at his surname is admirable.

...Was.

When it rains it pours. The guy must be easy on the eyes for so much attention. I give him an A+ for perserverence. As the submissive said to the dom "stop it some more!".
