īathhouses offering similar services for women are rare, but some men's bathhouses occasionally have a ' lesbian' or 'women only' night. In general, a gay bath is used for having sexual activity rather than only bathing. In gay slang, a bathhouse may be called just 'the baths', 'the sauna', or 'the tubs'. A gay bathhouse, also known as a gay sauna or a gay steambath (uncommonly known as a gay spa), is a commercial space for gay, bisexual, and other men to have sex with men.
