Hollywood Spa opened in 1974 and, before the advent of HIV and AIDS, was a major destination for gay men who had few other places to meet one another. It had 100 intimate rooms, a DJ, a steam room and jacuzzi, an “adult video” lounge, a gym and a cafe. The spa boasted on its website that it hosted over 100,000 visitors a year.

"At the upscale Hollywood Spa on Ivar Avenue, towel-wrapped patrons can look each other over while working out on gym equipment or sipping freshly squeezed orange juice from the cafe. Vintage Hollywood posters cover the walls, strobe lights flicker, and DJs spin the latest club music." (L.A. Times, 27 Oct, 1997)

The spa was ordered to close in 1988, as part of an enforcement of stringent regulations restricting sexual activity at gay bathhouses. “I don’t plan to close,” said Scott D.R. Goulet, owner of Hollywood Spa, 1650 Ivar Ave. “We adjudicated this issue two years ago. We won it then. The county was wrong,” he said. Co-owner and spa manager John Ferry told the LA Times: “We’re going to fight this thing. As far as we’re concerned, we’re the good guys. We consider the Hollywood Spa to be an important ass

The Shoulders I Stand Upon

By BigMike Phillips

How do I begin this article … hmmm, well as always, I am going to be honest and not ashamed, or will I be shamed because of how I have enjoyed my sex experiences over the last 48 years of my life.

You look, I am a queer man who loves to have sex with other gay men, and a lot of that sex was in bathhouses as I was growing up in the newfound same-sex attracted world that I was exploring. Every single moment I would visit another city, state, or nation, the one place I always made a aim to visit was the local gay bathhouse.

I Googled “gay bathhouse” for this column and it says: “… bathhouses offered a place where men could engage in anonymous sex, but they were much more than that. Some of the bathhouses offered a fully-equipped gym for working out, swimming pools, steam rooms, saunas; some offered living room-like settings; some offered sodas and snacks while they spent time together or just hung out.”
