Or you could use a dildo or some large vegetables to "squash" that desire, so to speak 😝

I spent a memorable night at Hyandae (I think) sauna in Itaewon years ago. It’s either closed or changed names now. An American soldier and I tag teamed half a dozen or more willing Korean twinks on the mattress. I’ve been back once since and it was very disappointing.

I’m in Busan now and I’ve checked out one place. It was basically 4 sleeping rooms surrounded by a corridor.  Very quiet and disappointing too.

Too be honest I’ve have had very little action since arriving back in Korea. Hardly any hits on Grindr, when in other Asian countries I would get at least some attention:)

I have a similar experience. Went to Seoul in 2010, after just finishing college and went to this sauna in Hongdae very close to the subway exit .Can't remember the name. It was actually my first gay sauna in Asia. Had read about it on utopia.com.

I remember it was decent size and the crowd was really good, many many twinks and I think there was only one more foreigner in there. I had plenty of action. What struck me was that cabins didn't have doors, just curtains so people were going in and out and sometimes turning on a lighter to see who was inside. 

It was first a nuisance but I got used to it quickly so it didn't interrupt my action. Remember also this big room with row of mattresses where people were fucking in group or just 1-1. Overall it was a great experience and I think I went at least one or two more times. I went back to Seoul in 2018 and wanted to check the sauna again. Not sure if it was the same one but it was still in Hongdae. This one though was really small and almost completely empty. Only 2 people in total. Left very quickly.

Sad to hear the ones in Itaweon are not much better. Now, a good Taiwanese friend of mine was with his bf in Seoul last month. He said they went to a place called Cuba. However, it mostly accepts only Koreans, there is even a sign at the entrance. As he can speak a bit of Korean and they are both very good looking (they work as models), they were let in but he said two Chinese guys in front of them were refused entry. He said the place is pretty small though the crowd is quite good. Most of the action happens in a big room with mattresses and people prefer group play. He also suggested another place called "He's" but need to ask if he went there and how was it.

Was in Busan in October of 2019 for 6 days. Overall I enjoyed the city but the hookup experience was kinda poor. Only 3 guys, one of which was actually an American teaching English there. A bit surprising for me as I got really busy on apps in Seoul and also quite successful with Koreans around Asia or the US, even though personally they are not in my top 3. Didn't check the sauna, as the reviews were really poor. Glad I haven't missed anything.

Last week in Japan, I hooked up with a guy from Busan. He also agreed that for a country with such strong sauna culture, SK really lacks good gay saunas. I guess Korea continues to be very conservative.
