I really appreciate your content. Answering all the questions I’ve been afraid to ask!

[@macaccount4315]

I stopped working at the spa after seeing 2 guys die on G. Just too traumatic.

[@PatrickMarano]

Ya, I thought it was important to talk about it

[@rogermusser7268]

Good vid! I like bathhouses that have bars, but some smaller ones don't. There, I usually sneak in my THC vape and a flask. Nothing else! Sometimes I share it with somebody I like and sometimes I don't, but never let the staff see it.

[@sheesh161]

Where do you hide it? 😅👀

[@mikefilimon1584]

I totally get that! In Europe (I’ve been to baths in London and Budapest)and both have bars at the baths and just makes a more fun experience!

[@Jusell]

Great tips, as always, dear Patrick. ❤ Thank you

[@wichertvangelder1197]

Patrick is my drug , 😊 , addicted to his content. ❤

[@evangeloskilos]

Patrick I absolutely love your videos this one really spoke to me because that was me thank you so much for servicing the community the way you do❤

[@PatrickMarano]

Thank you for saying so! xo

[@brinthorne]

The drug use is one of my least favorite elements of going to a bathhouse for two main reasons - doing more drugs is almost always the higher priority than having sex, and even if having sex becomes a priority, the equipment is generally spongy and unresponsive. It's just an unfulfilling experience when I pair up with someone then realize where their focus actually is and why the wang is wonky. It can be initially exciting when someone super hot seems to have surprisingly low standards, but once you realize why then it's just time to walk away.

[@monk3yboy69]

The wang is wonky 😀😀😀

[@PatrickMarano]

You nailed it. The focus is elsewhere.

[@dramonmaster222]

Happy Thursday Patrick! Also, I like your beard.

[@PatrickMarano]

Hey Thanks! xo

[@claudiogenson]

[@PatrickMarano]

You are so welcome

[@crestonediamond]

Really like the beard!

[@heinrich817]

As a gay man, I give you the respect the world gives to Oprah.

[@PatrickMarano]

oh wow! thank you!!

[@damoncarr6779]

I myself am an addict in recovery, like Patrick. I have 6 years clean now, an in a 12 step program. I am also gay, and was introduced to my drugs of choice during a hookup.

[@PatrickMarano]

Congrats on being sober!

[@meremortal1720]

congrats, keep going!!!!

[@user-qn1kz7dk3t]

Let me guess, meth and G?

[@AintScaredGarage]

It looks like you have been working on your chest, looking good

[@PatrickMarano]

Yes, thanks!

[@fearsomebeard4290]

As a sober gay man I want to say thank you to you Patrick, great video.

[@PatrickMarano]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@jeffsites7351]

Looking great there, you must be working out more. Wish i had the time

[@PatrickMarano]

Thank you!

[@rogermusser7268]

A vape fits in a pocket. The flask goes in the small bag with water shoes and stuff. It's not large.

[@RomaAcorn]

❤

[@spaceparrot8702]

Spot on! There's really no use trying to gauge who's on drugs and who isn't. I tend to assume everyone has taken some and this way I have less anxiety, if any at all. Sometimes even I take some, never enough to form an addiction and I can and do make really good experiences from this. And there aren't any misconceptions either, some people my age (25) think 40 and older men can only get me to have sex with them with drugs, but the real reason is that the man in question is hot af and turns me on, is like you: poised, intelligent, sexy. Guys my age hardly ever can be like that. They should learn to realize that it's not drugs that cut their own chances :(

[@PatrickMarano]

Hey thanks for the comment (and the compliment!) xo

[@spaceparrot8702]

@@PatrickMarano Ofc. Men deserve compliments too. Maybe you don't even fully know how precious you are :)

[@JimmiAlli]

There are some patrons in bathhouses who take poppers.

[@PatrickMarano]

oh 100%... I don't consider that a drug though lol. Maybe they deserve their own video

[@DwainRichardson]

Pardon my ignorance, but aside from meth and GHB, what other drugs are the most prevalent in bathhouses?

[@PatrickMarano]

Oh you can find anything really, but those two are popular for that environment. C@caine, w#ed, Molly...

[@DaveTexas]

Oooh, I’m LOVING the beard! You look fantastic! I’m one of those the-more-hair-the-better guys… Health problems have me sticking to only those meds that are prescribed to me…mainly pain meds that allow me to function on a daily basis. They don’t make sex any better, that’s for sure. One of the things I enjoy about sex is being in the moment, feeling everything and being present with whomever I’m with. I don’t enjoy sex with guys who aren’t present, either. I don’t care if someone’s on anything as long as they’re able to be fully in the moment with me, actively participating and…shall we say…fully aroused and functioning. I’ll admit to having a thing for married guys who have little to no experience with men, and they’re often very nervous and self-medicate in order to get past their inhibitions and anxiety. Again, as long as they’re able to fully participate in the hookup, I’m generally OK with that. I do prefer that a guy is fully sober, of course, but some "straight" guys need a little help getting out of their own head. Second or third hookups with them tend to be easier and I’ll tell them that I’d prefer they’re sober. I’ve certainly walked away from some very, very hot guys who were too obviously waster to be able to give consent, even if they tell me they want it. My best friend in college was the hottest guy I knew, and he’d go on and on about girls and insisted that he had no gay feelings at all. Then, one night after drinking really heavily, he told me that he’d let me do whatever I wanted to him, just because he wanted to do something nice for me. I had to stop and think about that for a minute. I knew he was far too drunk to be fully aroused, and I didn’t want to use him as a barely conscious bottom, despite his apparent willingness. I figured he really did want it but was too repressed to ever say it when sober, but I’d prefer that he WAS sober if we were ever to do that. (It never happened; he claimed not to remember ever making the offer and that he really did not want that… Yeah, sure.)

[@PatrickMarano]

oh wow, thanks for sharing that. And you're right, many people for whatever reason need drugs or drink to be comfortable enough to go for it. Good for you for knowing when not to take advantage of someone!

[@kyleesgiftcottage4708]

We were at a bathhouse on a Sunday afternoon. There was this young guy who was wired on something, manic. Bouncing around from one guy to the next. No one was responding to him. The next thing I know, he is on the tile floor in the shower area. He died of a heart attack. They had to close the bathhouse for the police to investigate. It was very sad to experience.

[@PatrickMarano]

Hard to witness something like that I'm sure

[@cafema5]

😮omg

[@Samuel115s]

I think I might be the only gay who has never done drugs

[@iowaboy2007]

Yea, me too, I guess we are the boring gays 😂

[@PatrickMarano]

It's a small club, but I know you guys exist lol

[@spocksvulcanbrain]

Love the beard. So handsome with it.

[@PatrickMarano]

Thank you!

[@hiho7847]

It doesn't work to sign up for the newsletter.

[@PatrickMarano]

oh no really? Thank you I will look into that

[@AlithesisKrukonova-hk2ws]

Hi Patrick I don't do drugs but it's one issue am concerned in the gay community like chemsex and such quick questions for a first time to attend an orgy party or bath house or seek a one to one experience first or also hiring a gay escorts for a first time gay sex experience.

[@PatrickMarano]

Ya, there's a lot of experiences to be had, I can see how you would have questions

[@shooterboy69]

hi Patrick, i love you and will always support you. thank you for this vid. we will meet sometime.

[@PatrickMarano]

Hey, thanks

[@RA-hx9uc]

I heard lies. He said these places dont want you doubg drugs....hahahahahahaha. that is the main clientele. And, bathhouse workers use drugs on the job and will even go in a room with customers and party. Ive seen it.

[@PatrickMarano]

I didn't say it doesn't happen. Of course it does. But I don't know which bathhouse you go to, it certainly is not the "main clientele" at the places I've been.

[@RA-hx9uc]

@PatrickMarano off the top of my head...L.A., Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Chicago, Dallas. I've seen it tons at all of those places. More than not. Actually, more recently in the past few years than prior years, I have noticed it more. L.A. is absolutely the worst though. The clear majority of people are on drugs or way too much alcohol (which is usually worse than all the drugs you mentioned). I smoke weed and find I'm in the minority somehow. Weed is the safest drug possible and it seems to be losing popularity in the gay community (at least in L.A.) in exchange for other drug use. And when I said lies, that was a joke. I don't think you lie in any of your videos and only give facts based on your experiences. I will say, of you notice an older guy with quite a few younger guys going in and out of his room at a bathhouse, that's the dealer.

[@jacquesrenou2850]

You forgot to mention that T can turn a bottom guy into a power bottom, who can take the biggest slongs and as many as they can get like you are the train and everything behind you is train cars on your rear.The more you want the next guy in line to hitch up to your caboose. Should have a deli customer machine with now serving # 27,next please. Can't ever get enoughf deli sausages in your bag.

[@PatrickMarano]

That is very true

[@monk3yboy69]

Drugs in a sauna…. Very bad idea. Years of partying and then on to the saunas off our tits. It’s fun ….but so not advisable.

[@brucewinther6926]

Patrick--if you were in arms reach no drugs would ever be needed---You have no idea the effect you have on me !!!

[@PatrickMarano]

That's really nice, thank you!

[@420Domingo]

Bro my last name is Marano too and I also wanna do poppers are we related

[@PatrickMarano]

Maybe? lol

[@user-pq3ff3xd2e]

Hi Patrick when I bath with you hahaha just joke you your nice vedieo

[@heinrich817]

Just saying, you are adorable.

[@PatrickMarano]

cheers

[@Faisal-ll7kq]

V less informatiom their is more worse senario in gay community related drugs

[@PatrickMarano]

I think you're saying that there are other parts of the community where drugs are worse... I agree, drugs are rampant

[@ChildofChrist24-fi3mv]

I’d say Jesus is my drug, but Jesus himself is better than any drug I ever had, the feeling of the Holy Spirit has a huge ecstatic effect I’m not lying, yall should totally experience it.

[@PatrickMarano]

Amen
