When Desperation Sinks In
Many men have different reasons for going to a bathhouse. While most men go for the easy and quick sex, there are a few men who go for entirely different reasons. You may be one of those men who go to relax, unwind, and escape from the world. However, something happens to a man's body after an hour or so at the baths – they get horny. You may start out wanting just a steam and the attitude "if it is meant to be it will come to me." But after a few hours of seeing naked bodies and available sex you get horny as hell wanting that body-to-body contact. With the hormones and the serotonin in your brain kicking around, the desperation sinks in. 
It has happened to all of us, at one time or another. That sinking feeling of desperation
and an overwhelming sense to connect with someone. That is when your standards decline immensely. What it boils down to is self-esteem, which a lot of gay men lack. If you are confident and secure in yourself, then you don't have that need to connect with someone that badly. However, since so many gay men are insecure, the constant sex is really a desperate sign to connect with someone, thus achieving that feeling of security. I find this especially true with a lot of ethnic men, particularly Asian and Middle Eastern men. What I am finding is that a lot of these ethnic guys cannot take 'no' for an answer at the baths. As gay men brought up in 'the gay culture' we understand and know who is in our league and who is not. If a Brad Pitt look-a-like is around and you look like Don Knotts, then the chances of a hook-up are slim. But these ethnic guys don't understand these unwritten rules, and become very aggressive. In my opinion a visible minority, born and raised in America, are more attuned to the basic social and coping skills, whether interacting in the gay or straight world. They were brought up in a western society. The visible minorities who immigrate to the U.S. have been brought up in their culture and environment. This is especially true for a lot of Asian cultures where the upbringing is very oppressive, irrational, only-focus-on-education environment, and only-make-money mentality. So when these gay men arrive in America, they lack the basic social and coping skills necessary in life, thus having no self-esteem and being very insecure. So you have all of these guys (whether they be white or ethnic) desperately chasing after someone, just to get off. But nine out of ten times it is usually one of those ethnic immigrants I just wrote about. I see a lot young, good looking Asian men performing blowjobs on sixty-year-old men at the baths all the time. That statement alone says it all. How does the desperation sink in? Classic example: You see someone turn a corner, and your interest is piqued. You did not get a chance to make eye contact so you are unsure if there is any interest or not. You go down the same hallway looking for him. You fight your way through crowds of men, frustrated that you may have lost him, still horny as hell. All the while gyrating, heavy dance music is blasting in the hallways just to heighten the chase that is going on in your mind. Then you see him, and your eyes meet for just a split second, before he looks away, ducking his head. You are devastated. But there are dozens of other men roaming the hallways of the bathhouse. The loud tempo of the dance music is filling the hallways, intensifying the chase to find someone. All the while you get hornier and hornier. But as the night wears on, you find that no one is showing any interest in you. The desperation seems to sink in deeper and deeper. But your raging hormones and the serotonin in your brain start to affect how you think rationally. Everything gets thrown out the window because you want one thing – to get laid. You refuse to give up, hanging on to hope. There you are in a towel, hoping, and thinking and praying and wishing that the next great lay is around the corner. All the while your hormones escalate higher and higher. You just want to jerk off, so you can get the hell out of there. But you cling to hope that someone will come. He may be just around the corner. An hour passes by, then another. You say to yourself, just five more minutes. Then those five minutes turn into a half-an-hour and then an hour. When you last looked at your watch it said 11 PM. Then the next time you look it is 1 AM and still nothing. 
You say to yourself, "If only I can get off, then I can go home." The hormones and serotonin continue to affect your mind. Finally your standards start to decline. Guys you would not even give a second look are now starting to look attractive – all in an effort to get off. You find yourself going into the porn room looking for someone. You see a middle aged, overweight guy, with a receding hairline. Nice eyes you think. You sit near him and start stroking yourself. The middle-aged guy does not divert his eyes from the screen. He knows he is being hit on, but is not interested. Seconds later he gets up and leaves. Humiliated that you sank this low, you check your watch. Another hour has passed. It has now been three hours since you originally thought of leaving. Your hope diminishes that you will find anyone to get off with. You start jerking off right then and there in the porn room and then bang! EJACULATION in less than one minute - that is how horny you have been. You have been so horny that the amount of cum is huge. You sit there catching your breath, as cum starts to slide off your legs. Your hormones and the serotonin level in your brain are back to normal, after that instant gratification you so desperately sought. You can think clearly. You soon start to berate yourself for wasting three hours, and wonder why you did not leave sooner. But you realize that it all has to do with hormones. Any normal rational person would have been long gone by this time. But the raging hormones affect the mind and body, causing you not to think straight. Seeing all of the naked bodies, porn movies and orgies happening in a bathhouse, you get all sexed up. Desperation has sunk in, and even thoughts of purchasing a hustler start entering your mind. The only solution is to jerk-off within the first five minutes of arriving at the baths. Once you ejaculate, the pressure and the anxiety are off. Then you can really have the attitude of "if it comes, it comes." You can enjoy a steam or sauna, without the pressure of needing to get off. But the only drawback to that is you may not be able to ejaculate a second time if you meet someone during your stay at the baths. Many men over 40 can only come once a day. If you were secure within yourself, you wouldn't feel the need to chase anyone that desperately. You would have left the baths hours ago. However, not all gay men are secure. So you save yourself, hoping that you find someone - but you never do. That is when desperation sinks in, and this whole frustrating vicious cycle happens again and again.
