Site Details:

There is a hell of a lot going on with Bath House Bait, one of the newer sites from The Gay Room, itself a large and growing network of sites. For a start you get access to the other seven original sites when you join this one, then you have a choice of members’ areas. The network has recently been re-done it seems, and you can still access the old-look version, or the newer one, which is the one I’m looking at here. Whichever way you go though you find: exclusive and well-made hardcore movies, top models and amateur performers, frequent updates, images, good search and interactive options and wall to wall gay porn.

Here though we’re looking at one specific site in the network and it is one where they promise us that straight guys will turn gay. What they mean is there is a fantasy being played out here: that of straight boy going to a bath house and getting ‘turned’ by the gay clientele. But this all takes place against a backdrop of gay orgy and group sex, with scenes happening in various parts of the sauna, and sometimes outside it, with various amounts of hot and sweaty, hung and sexy guys in each episode. You’re in for variety of men, lots of hardcore, with various ways to view and download it.

You click in and start off at the main portal pages for The Gay Room, and here all the recent updates are shown for the whole network. There are search and sort options so you can use the network as a site in itself, or you can select the drop-down list at the top and find the site you want to see. The old version runs along very similar lines, as I recall, though it was lighter in colour scheme.

You need to keep an eye on where you are in this network: click ‘home’ and you return to the main portal page, so use back buttons or the drop-down to return to the sauna site. On its home page you find that the most recent update is featured, along with previous ones showing sample pics and some information. You have a fully interactive and well designed interface to use, there are plenty of search and sort options, drop-downs and links back to and around the network, yet the main content is not overshadowed by all this. You can still find and read scene descriptions, details and then click the link to get to the viewing page.

Here you've got buttons to take you to associated images and galleries, screen caps too and a trailer per scene. Beneath the large streaming screen you have download options, a rating opportunity, and the scene arranged in clips, so you can run any part of it, and also download that part. And beneath all that you find a place where you can comment about what you see.

Clicking back to the main menu there is a model index, a page of sites, a search page, a page of categories listing 25, and then links to third-party live cams, dating sites and some special deals and sign up offers for other sites. It’s all very easy to use and it looks really cool.

But forget about the network for a moment and think about the content of the site we’re looking at. These are natural, realistic and totally horny orgy in the sauna scenes. And I can admit to having had a few of those, though not (sadly) with such hot and horny guys, so I know what I’m talking about. There are all kinds of men here from twinks upwards, but most of them are your fit, athletic and toned types, with neat cocks and hard asses. For anyone following the rise to fame of Tyler Sweet, you’ll be pleased to know he’s in here too.

The action moves around the sauna scene by scene, with, for example, two guys in the showers, a group of guys in a sweat room, three men together then an outside scene, a locker room scene, one involving a sling, and so on. And all the time the camera is hand held and roving so you move around the action as if you were really there.

This site is one of the newer ones in this network and so there are only 12 scenes so far, but they are all around 25 minutes long and come with good viewing choices. Mind you, I only found the one streaming version per scene and it’s quite a heavy one, offered in HD quality; it is good quality but suited better to faster connections. For downloads you have MP4, WMV and Mpegs. My only concern about these videos is not to do with quality, it’s to do with size: the downloads I found were around 700Mb to over 1Gb in size, they will take a long time to come down to you if you’re not really well connected. Mind you, they are well worth waiting for.

There are also images with screen caps at 850 x 477, and digital stills which will successfully enlarge to even higher sizes such as 1,500 x 1,000 where the images stay clear and focused. Galleries hold various amounts of pics but they all take you through the action, and all can be collected.

Back to the bonus sites: The Gay Room does really well on originality, they give their sites themes. So you have action around the massage table, the office, and straight guys. There is an outing site, one starring a very large dick, interracial sex, mad hazings and gay pranks and one about seducing sleeping straight boys. And in all of them you get the same good quality treatment and exclusivity.

Pros:

• Exclusive content from a growing network;
• Good viewing and download options, high quality content;
• A neat up to date interface to view the network in;
• Easy navigation and good search and sort options;
• Great videos, guys and images and all totally horny.

Cons:

• Slower connections will be kept waiting for streams and videos;
• There is not a lot of sauna action as yet as the site is still new;
• There are lots of adverts on the pages and offers of memberships to other sites.

I’ve kind of fallen for this network and certainly for this site. I love the way they use amateur guys and some obvious professionals, and I like the way the filming is natural and yet still clear and high quality. What’s really good though is that you get great bonuses here and everything is original as well as being exclusive. This team find a new way to bring us our porn, with new settings and new slants, and this is refreshing to see. And at this site the hot and sweaty, hard and horny action never stops. All your sauna fantasies are played out perfectly here.

You mentioned Tyler Sweet and seeing him here makes me wonder how exclusive the models are. Ok, so the films may be exclusive but I've seen some of these guys in many other movies before, certainly Tyler. But that’s not to say they are not good, as these are some of the hottest sauna and sling scenes I've seen for a long while.

The thing about slower connections is, sadly, correct though. It is hard work if you’re not on a fast connection, the files are huge and the streaming more or less impossible., We like HD but we also like the choice to view in a more accessible way if at all possible. I’d like a choice of streaming too, there is only the really big and slow version to watch and it’s very frustrating when it stops every two seconds.

I’m actually a member of one of the other sites, and I found this one in my bonus list. I like them all, but what I would really like is an identity for each one; maybe a forum where each site has its own area, you may not all share the same mix of fantasies and it would be good to discuss, say, only the sauna sex, or the interracial, or the big dick sex. See what I mean? Give each site its own identity.
