Am I in Asia or Australia? Wasn’t so sure when I visited the 357. The place was packed with cute Asians and is also planned in a way that truly reminded me of the Shogun Club in Singapore. Although, of course, you can’t really evaluate the cramped venue of Singapore to the 4 story 357, but crowd wise, decor wise and the dark lighting are the same.
The 357 is a big venue, place on 4 floors, with a (slow) elevator connecting them. The upper floor is unique as it has a Cinema of actual movies with a line up of Hollywood movies screening throughout the day.

The place is fairly clean,
Did you know that men have been cruising each other for sex at bathhouses since the 15th century?
While the original intention of men’s bathhouses may have been hygiene, today’s gay bathhouses or saunas, along with other types of sex-on-premises-venue (SOPV) or sex venues, are intended as places where you can meet others for casual sex. SOPVs offer a place to travel and play with a wider variety of people, many of whom might not appear on a dating app grid.
Walking around a gay sauna or SOPV, you might quickly realise a whole new arrange of rules is at play; with everything from navigating consent to creature comfortable in a sexualised space, there can be a lot to understand. Here’s what you should know before heading into a sex venue for the first time.
How does a queer sauna operate?
Like a hotel, you’ll appear at your venue, and there will be a front desk where you’ll pay an admission fee, and in return, you’ll obtain a locker key and a towel.
From there, it’s a matter of heading to the changerooms to change into the towel and store your clothes in a locker. Upon arriving, many people will also shower to freshen up, and many venues may contain douching facilities if you want t

The team at closed Sydney gay sauna 357 said a record crowd of punters joined them for their closing party at 357 Sussex Street in Sydney.
The sauna’s longtime co-owners Ty Dovans and Luke Frappell first opened 357’s doors in Sydney’s CBD in December 2001.
However in belated 2022, a maturation application was lodged to demolish the existing building and replace it with an 18-storey hotel.
Ty and Luke confirmed earlier this year that 357 would close its doors after more than two decades.
Sunday bedtime (May 5) was 357’s very last party, with the gay sauna’s biggest crowd ever saying goodbye to the venue.
Ty and Luke said the queue to get in stretched to the corner of Goulburn and Sussex Streets.
In videos posted to Facebook, the couple thanked their patrons, their staff and numerous supporters on a “very emotional” day.
“The crew that we have had over the years are truly incredible,” Luke said.
“I praise the clients, all of you create this happen. Without you, it doesn’t exist. Our core client base kept us alive.”
Ty said when he started working at same-sex attracted saunas in his 20s, he set up the venues’ heterosexual owners to be &
