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 possess enjoyed my sex experiences over the last 48 years of my life.

You see, I am a gay 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 homosexual world that I was exploring. Every single time I would visit another city, state, or country, the one place I always made a point to visit was the local same-sex attracted bathhouse.

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
