Darlaston Sauna my first time
1995
Rob talks about going to a sauna for the first time, at Darlaston. "It was really quite a complete eye opener as I'd never been to one before. We (in Britain) assume that if you go to a sauna it's disgusting, sleazy, filthy and full of filthy old men. But it wasn't, it was full of normal guys who couldn't or wouldn't engage in public sex for reasons of safety or maybe they were married. There are individuals in the Saunas you would never see anywhere else."
Rob says there are different demographics in the different arenas of gay life, for example the saunas, parks and bars. He says the gay bars represent a very small percentage of gay people.
