Laws that regulate public activity are not relevant to private establishments.”

Actually, under Michigan law, sodomy and the broader “gross indecency” are crimes on public or private property. They are monstrous dens of hedonism to some, guarded sanctuaries of sexual expression to others. Unlike Body Zone, men aren’t just cruising silently looking for partners; patrons are sunbathing nude on the deck, chatting or watching movies.

Beside me, naked men read papers, talk quietly and smoke cigarettes. Absolutely LOVE it! You hear these beautiful odes to what a bathhouse means and symbolizes, and then if you actually go to one it is really sort of desperate and pathetic and depressing. It’s the patrons themselves that aren’t very receptive to us. I am planning on going back again soon, as a CD of course lol.

As I get closer, they notice me but don’t stop. Above a string of plastic American flags, the afternoon is clear and breezy. I know that that is bullshit, but there are other issues there. Two of the four leading sexual risk behaviors that Michigan’s Department of Community Health says contributes to the spread of syphilis — “sex with unknown partners” and “more than four partners in the last year” — are commonplace within the baths.

Some state lawmakers are attempting to remove both, which they consider arcane, from the books (“Indecent proposal,” Metro Times, July 9-15).

Kosofsky’s so concerned about the possibilities of police raids and abusive governmental control, he asks Metro Times to withhold the names of Detroit’s bathhouses.

Anyone who thinks that bathhouse regulation would curb the spread of syphilis need only look at one document to learn otherwise.

When I went there on my few times, I would stay for hours and hours lol. Most experts agree that a rise in syphilis can lead to a rise in HIV. Because of how long it takes to compile HIV trends, it is unknown now what impact the syphilis increase will have on HIV infections in metro Detroit. And they are getting it from their straight lovers, boyfriends and husbands, some of whom identify as straight but still visit the bathhouses.

Peterson: “This is Public Health 101.

Most of the men having anal sex wear condoms, but some do not. Even though people at MAPP claim that TNT owner Steve Daniels was nearly impossible to contact, Daniels’ home phone number is posted in plain view to patrons at the entrance of the club.

“We refuse to deal with Mr. Covey himself because of his moral concept in life,” Daniels says, explaining that he is in contact with other people at MAPP and a handful of other outreach programs, including ACCESS.

You didn’t have sex in your apartment, you didn’t have relationships, you just went to bathhouses and got release and went back to your straight life. One that primarily sticks out is financial, cost. A strange twist in Detroit’s data finds infection is nearly equal between men and women, and ethnically blind.
