Barefoot Essentials

Barefoot Essentials

Let’s face it, you don’t need much at the baths to make an impression. You are just exhibiting the bare essentials—your nakedness wrapped in a towel. However, there is an old saying that says clothes make a man. You wouldn’t think that statement would hold up in a bathhouse while wearing only a towel. Well, you’re mistaken.

Other than your towel, footwear is the only other clothing item men wear at the baths with any regularity. Over the years, I have seen every imaginable type of shoe worn by men at the tubs—sandals, running shoes, flip-flops, socks, and even winter boots. What do I prefer? I like to go barefoot. The sensation of total and complete nakedness is unparalleled. It feels unnatural to wear footwear, especially when you have to go in and out of the wet area—the sauna, steam room, and whirlpool. My general rule is that the fewer clothes you wear at the baths, the better it feels.

I find it odd that men protect their feet but don’t mind where their mouths and hands have gone. At the baths, many mouths enter and exit cocks. But are any of these guys gargling with mouthwash between blowjobs? Speaking of jobs, let’s not forget all those hand jobs and fingerings. Yet I don’t see guys wearing latex gloves. Despite that, some guys will never go barefoot at the baths. They are convinced that they must protect their feet. However, they fail to understand that the steam room or hot tub can expose other parts of your body to the same fungi.

Some may use the excuse of wearing footwear to avoid stepping on come, urine, or discarded condoms on the floor. Again, it seems okay to slurp and urinate during a blowjob. However, stepping on it is unacceptable. No way! Nothing gets me more frustrated than when someone walks right through the shower area in their regular street shoes. While wearing the shoes to protect their feet, they are also tracking dirt on the shower floor. Why don’t they consider shower-goers are washing their feet? But guys in shoes at the baths seem more concerned about their own feet than anyone else’s.

If you must wear shoes, consider the following advice from someone who has seen a variety of footwear on other people’s feet.
Avoid wearing sneakers, not only for the reasons previously discussed, but also because it’s a significant fashion faux pas. Over the years, I have seen many guys walking around the baths wearing sneakers, or worse, sneakers and socks. It makes one look ridiculous and gives the impression that someone is a germaphobe. It just doesn’t work. The only person who could pull off the sneakers and socks look is a skinny twink over 6 feet tall, as some men have a fetish for twinks in knee-length socks. For everyone else, leave the sneakers in your locker. The only other guys able to get away with any footwear are the S&M leather crowd, who wear leather boots.

So no to sneakers, but what about prancing around in socks? This presents a challenge when entering and exiting the wet area. No matter how many puddles you try to avoid, wet socks equal wet feet. Peeling off a damp pair of socks before jumping into the hot tub is not only awkward but also much more stinky!

Again, just like shoes, socks look silly on someone wearing a towel. If you are a twink, you could pull it off, as some guys like that look. But if you are in your middle years, forget it. You just look weird.

So that leaves sandals and slippers. An expert’s opinion suggests that neither sandals nor slippers are suitable. Instead, try flip-flops; they make you and your feet look sexy. Flip-flops are in style these days, and they are a turn-on for men. There are even countless websites devoted to men’s feet in flip-flops. Wearing the right pair of flip-flops oozes sexiness and class.

Don’t be cheap when purchasing a pair of flip-flops. If you wear a pair, buy a good-quality brand with a thin strap. The thinner the straps, the sexier the feet are.

You want your feet to be as naked as possible, with no constrictions. Just as you want to get into some guy’s bed quickly, you also want to get in and out of flip-flops with ease. Imagine having to spend time trying to get your sandals, sneakers, or socks off. That is why flip-flops are the best to wear at the baths, as they give you that sense of freedom and ease.

However, if you go barefoot, are you concerned about catching something on your feet? Applying foot powder is what I do. When I go to the baths, I shower upon arriving and just before leaving. Once I return to my room, I sprinkle foot powder all over my feet. Not only does it create a barrier around my feet, but they also stay comfortable and cool.

Get rid of those shoes and embrace being barefoot. Your feet will be all the more grateful.
