Why are there no bath house for straight people in America?

I've been to a Korean day spa a few years ago when I was in LA. It was pretty nice the saunas were nice and hot really got a good sweat going. The only thing I didn't really like was the one I went to was kind of popular so it was a little crowded, but it wasn't too bad.

When I got back I tried searching for things similar like hit tubs and sauna wise. And I did find a few but... The reviews made me stay away. Apparently a lot of gay guys use these public saunas to hook up and well have sex inside the sauna.

Which to me is just really creepy and unsanitary. I don't want to go to a public spa knowing there could be another man's gravy sitting there.

The one's that had a better review cost too much or were too far from where I live. But if I were to guess why it's not as popular here it's probably because of the whole people using it for sex thing.

Those are mostly geothermal hot springs. So you need volcanic activity for them to get the heating. Went to one called chena hot springs in Alaska and it even has an ice hotel.

So maybe look up hot springs instead of bath house.

It is my guess, that the reason there are no straight bathhouses like those for not-straight is because of potential law suits and other complications from pregnancies, etc. that are not able to happen at not-straight bathhouses. Simply put, no one is willing to take on the risk of opening a club like that for straight people. But, why there don't appear to be as many or any for not-straight women as there are for men. Well, that is because not-straight guys seem to be open more to more partners than not-straight women are. So, business for those for women would not be as lucrative as the ones for men. That is on average. That is also in my opinion. No facts to back that up.

Gay bathhouses may have those things, but the primary purpose there is to just have sex. Even the gays don't really care for the actual facilities, so I think it's just a matter of it not being a popular cultural staple here.
