Subject: BACK TO THE BATHS

"Wassup?" came the text unexpectedly.  A long hard day at work and I had
decided to go to the Goldcoast in West Hollywood on a rare Saturday night.
I remembered it had been about three months since I had heard anything from
Rich, the usual amount of time for me to hear from this kid.  Rich is a 24
year old I had met about two years ago off of a website specifically for us
older men.  The first one as a matter of fact.  I responded that I was at a
bar having a few beers,I was on my first one , and he should come join me.
I was surprised when he said ok as before we had only gotten together to
fuck.  Rich didn't know where the bar was so I gave him directions.  He
told me he was coming on the bus so I figured I had a good twenty minutes
or so to grab another beer.

  It wasn't 10 minutes when the caller ID on my iPhone lit up that Rich was
calling.  "I'm outside ,come out I need to put my stuff in your car".  I
put my untouched beer on the shelf next to the back door and saw backpack
carrying Rich coming down the sidewalk.  I said it was good to see him and
he said likewise but then added he really didnt want to stay in a bar and
drink.  I asked him what he wanted to do and he said "lets go to Flex".

  It had been over twenty five years since I had been in Flex, I realized
Rich hadn't even been born the last time I had walked in there.  In an
instant I said ok let's do it.
  I remembered well how to get there and was trying to remember the layout
of the place, all I could remember was the pool area somehow.

  We pulled into the parking lot and got the only spot available.  At the
entrance was a long line, it was a Saturday night after all.  Rich flashed
his membership card and was immediately let inside.  I had to go through
the paperwork for a new membership and after an eternity was told they only
had lockers and there was a waiting list for rooms.  I put myself on a wait
for a deluxe room as I had told Rich when parking that we should get
separate rooms.  I figured a 54 year old and a 24 year old would have
different luck in the baths and separate rooms might be best.

  I was let inside and couldn't believe how packed the place was, guys of
all types in towels everywhere .  Nothing looked familiar at all to me, no
doubt the place had been remodeled since my last late 1980's visit .

  I walked around the corner to the locker room and Rich and I had side by
side lockers, and I stripped and wrapped up in a towel while Rich put his
backpack in his locker and told me he wanted a smoke and a cup of coffee
first.  That sounded good to me but I thought I'd pass on the bathhouse
coffee and go for only the smoke.  I followed him as he maneuvered his way
through the mass of guys to the door leading to the patio. Hmm he certainly
has the lay of the land around this joint I thought to myself.

  The patio /pool area was exactly how I remembered it though the walk to
it was completely foreign.  Rich and I both lit up and then he pulled a
joint out of his pocket. I don't smoke pot often ,if I have a hit once a
year it's about my norm. I don't really care for it as it only tends to
make me paranoid and nervous but I thought what the hell this is going to
be a different night for me ; so I took the joint from him and went for it.
He then said it was some new strain and that I would like it.  Boy did I ,
my body was completely high yet my head was clear and I was feeling great.

  They called Rich's locker number and he went to get his room. He left his
half cup of coffee and I thought I'd take a walk on the wild side and
indulge in the bathhouse java.  It was remarkably good. I lit up another
cigarette and was content to sit there watching the guys walking and
cruising.

  I figured I would be more of a spectator that night; I had told Rich as
we were waiting inline ,I wanted to watch him get fucked,after all one time
he had wanted to watch me fuck a dude and I obliged and now it was my turn.
Somehow I was able to hear my locker number being called and went to my
locker and redressed as I didn't want to wander the halls carrying my
clothes. I am glad I did ,I seemed to have roamed the place forever before
I got to my deluxe room. I wasn't sure if it was the pot or the walls of
mirrors ,but I was completely disoriented.  Surprisingly several guys were
giving me "the look" as I made my way to my room.

  I undressed , wrapped my self in a towel and lay back on the full size
bed and fiddled with the remote to the TV.  Immediately a slim dark haired
guy,maybe in his late 30's stuck his head in my door and asked if I'd like
some company. "Sure" and he came in and we were all over each other in a
flash.  My body was so sensitive from the weed that I got completely lost
as I ate every part of him and him me.  Flashes of light came from the
stand by the bed as my phone was blinking from the text messages.  I had
had the sense to put the phone on silent .

  It was Rich asking where I was, I gave him the number of my room and said
he should come join in as I was with someone. He said he'd be right there
and he was.  He came in and looked then said he'd be right back.  As I
later came to realize he wasn't coming back since the guy I was with was
too young for him . as he didnt look at a man younger than fifty.  The guy
and and I could have cared less and continued to enjoy each other for at
least another half hour.  He had wanted to get fucked but I didn't want to
blow my load that early in the evening, after all it was barely midnight at
that point.

  I somehow found a shower and made it back to my room and was laying there
thinking that I was trapped in a maze of sex and would never find my way
out.  In my walking about I had passed opened doors and public rooms and
there were guys having all types of sex everywhere, even in the hallways.
I stared at my open door and saw multiple Rich's in the mirrors outside my
door as he came into my room.  He shut the door and fell on top of me and
squeezed me tight. I got so worked up that before we actually started to
fuck he told me to calm down.  Again I attributed everything to the grass
but I was thinking this is the best fuck we were ever having and he was
moaning "you're gonna make me come."  I said to him"let it go buddy" and he
orgasmed with his eyes rolled up in his head.  I continued to slowly go in
and out of him for what seemed forever.  Still I didn't want to come so I
said we should take a break and clean up.

  Showered and still feeling great I met Rich on the patio for more
smoking. I reminded him that he still needed to get fucked while I watched
and he said okay. We smoked more of that new strain of grass that I had
decided I would buy for myself , as soon as I got out of the pokey.

  Settled back in my room I flipped through the different porn channels
playing on the TV. I again saw multiple Rich's outside my door only this
time he was with a bearded older guy.  Rich walked in quickly and the older
guy slowly followed.  Rich sat on the end of the bed and lifted the mans
towel and started to give him head, I at that point came a little bit on
myself just watching. The older guy dropped to his knees to go down on Rich
As he did Rich flashed a smile and leaned over and kissed me.  Rich rolled
onto his knees and after that awkward moment of putting on the rubbers, the
older guy and I took turns fucking him.  As I was pounding him the older
guy went around and Rich sucked him off. I still didnt want to come yet
however Rich did and at that point, as far as I knew, he was done for the
night .

  After another shower I decided to roam the halls.  By then it was
4:a.m. and the mass of men had thinned out considerably.  I seemed to have
been going in circles, I still could not figure out the layout of the
place.  Again I blamed it on the pot.  I passed a handsome beefy blond in
the hall and he turned about and started to follow me.  Feeling confidant
at that point, I pulled him into my room and for the longest time his mouth
was going from mine to my cock,back and forth.  I would have sucked him too
but,for such a handsome man, he had the most unappealing small cock.  So we
kissed and he sucked.  He said he would not leave unless he had my
number...he did.

 Again I see a flash from the side of the bed and its Rich texting "what
are you doing?"  I said for him to come see and then he asked me how old
was the guy is I was with.  As the guy is sucking me I texted back"I don't
know maybe 40". Rich was a no show, again too young for that 24 year old.
Finally after a long night I exploded like a volcano. We both cleaned
ourselves off and Mr blond dude handed me his phone for me to punch in my
number.  I purposely put in a wrong number and now am kicking myself that I
did, but I didn't want a guy from a bathhouse house having my number , snob
that I was being at that moment.

  Another shower and I'm back on the patio only now the sky is starting to
have some light.  I looked at my phone and couldn't believe it was almost
six in the morning, it didn't seem possible.  Sitting there having a cig
and another coffee I was thinking how many years,decades, had passed since
I had been there and promised myself to return soon.  I was feeling young
at that moment with no worries of my job or life and wanted to experience
this over and over again.

  Lost in thought a voice said "if you're looking for your buddy he's
taking a shower". I looked up and saw the slim guy I had first played with
this past night.  We chatted and he told me he hadn't been there in years
himself but was shocked when I told him how long it had been for me.  In
the showers huh? I guess Rich hadn't been done for the night and had had
some more fun.

  I sent Rich a text and said I was ready to leave.  He responded "now? Oh
okay" ah to be truly young again We both checked out and in the morning sun
walked to my car.  Rich threw his sweatshirt over his face and said "the
walk of shame"

  I dropped him off at a clothing store in Hollywood , he said he needed
new jeans as the ones he was wearing were dirty.  I thought how odd he'd
wait there for a few hours till the store opened but whatever.  I told him
I had such a good time and asked if we could do it again. He said "you bet
buddy".  I popped the trunk and he got his other bag out,tapped the back of
the car and I drove away.

  Walking into my place I thought I had now been awake 24 hours and wasn't
a bit sleepy. The timer on the coffee maker had already done its job and I
said its ok, I'll just zap a cup in the microwave this afternoon when I get
up.
  I took a sleeping pill and drifted off to sleep wondering what Rich was
up to and already looking forward to my next visit, it was like Pandoras
box had been reopened.
