Hi guy, I remember being nervous but excited I was when I first went. As mentioned in the previous posts, take it real easy and remember who's in charge of what (or who) you do. Give yourself lots of "get acclimated" time. You probably have some preconceived ideas of what a bathhouse is like, but you'll be surprised at the reality vs the image you have. In fact, bathhouses vary quite a bit one to another, and from one day to the next.
If you google, you'd probably find a "bathhouse etiquette" guide which actually can be fairly helpful. Most guys are really OK with a "maybe later" or "not just now" but you have to be OK with hearing it too. What often surprises me is that it's the regular guys who are having the most fun, with stuck-on-themselves guys hanging back (regardless of looks--there are some real beauties who I'd classify as regular guys in this respect, and some guys you might pass up at a bar but who are wonderful partners). If you don't go with any particular demands, you may discover some new pleasures. On the other hand, maybe you'll discover that it's not for you. Personally, I love the places, and I always have a good time.
Let us know how it went. Al
