Friction

when they took over the Spa on Maitland in Toronto it took several months before they opened. They open when everything is working. Friction opened without being ready, everyone complained. When they open it will be the best. No one has paid for 4 full pages in Xtra if they are not opening.

Why do we not stop this thread called Friction and start a fresh one called "Steamworks" and let Friction pass away into the distance? With all the silly comments and bull that goes with it!

Thanks for the insight, Trojan.
You see, none of us were able to know whether there really was a new bath house opening.
Your constant, non-stop input is so valuable to this thread.

I was looking at office space in that building and walked by when the front door was opened. Bare metal studs with some drywall - sure looked like they wiped out whatever was there.

I really hope we are not going to have all the bullshit comments on here like we did with Friction. Give the place a chance and if it doesn't meet all your nit picky expectations then go somewhere else and let others enjoy it. I was really tired of all the back and forth about what Friction did or didn't do. Let it go and enjoy the new place.

But Hotdickhole, you complained Friction had steps and steps affect your hard on as you posted in the M2M listing.
What are you going to do if Steamworks kept the steps?
Guess no one will get to see you there. Yay!

Word is the main investor ex-boyfriend of the owner have screwed over many.
I guess if it was a business, trying its best then it would be a different story but I would assume with these two, enemies were made from the start, which then came a quick finish.

I sincerely feel bad for those co-workers and others owed funds.

Maybe converting this place to a Bingo parlour would have been a way for y'all to have stopped complaining about this facility. I have never seen as much negativity towards one place as I have read about this bath over the past 5 months! If we thought back to the days of Dino's and some of the other scuzzholes that used to attract crowds 30 years ago, we would be kissing the feet of anyone who opened such a nice looking facility as this was the only time I visited. To those of you who have never invested your life savings to open a business, you will never understand how hard it is to please everyone. Back to the drawing boards guyz. I opened a retaurant thirty years ago and I remember all the people who thought they could do it better. The people of this city have a real hard time supporting gay businesses. No wonder so many of us run off to places like Seattle and Toronto to have some fun. Oh well, that's my rant for today. Have a nice day!

Hopefully someone with management sense will take it over. it would be nice if Steamworks would take it. They know what makes a bathhouse work. The Toronto location formerly Spa on Maitland is so much better now.

I really enjoy myself, but occasionally I have trouble with one of the front desk staff.
At one point, he told me that all the rooms were booked except for the uber-expensive one. Once I got in though, it was pretty dead. The guy was nowhere to be found.
Another time the guy kept my change, said he'd give it back to me when I left, but didn't leave it in my slot. I gave the manager my phone number, but never got a call.
Am I the only one who has had experiences like this?

Hey Boys!
Interesting debate you are having about the Co-ed night. I thought I would add some insight from a community that has had to share their cruising site for at least 3 years now.

From the perspective of Wpg. We have two bathhouses. Both have Co-ed Nights, They both started Co-ed Nights as a way fo generating more income on what were percieved as slow Mens Only nights. In both cases the nights were expanded from one night to more as their success brought in greater demand. Aquarious has the spit as Co-ed Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun and Mens Only Mon/Weds/Friday. Adonis has the split as Co-ed Mon/Weds and Mens Only Tues/Thurs/Fri/Sat. Sunday I can not recall which one it is? Probably it is Co-ed. The action on any night of the week, as all cruising in my experiance, is hit and miss though weekends in general are the best nights. From my perspective it has not really mattered if it was Co-ed or Men's Only, the number of customers simply vary day to day and weekend to weekend. CD's/Transexuals were welcome to Co-ed nights only.

The thing that the Aquarious owners here probably wish is that they did not go Co-ed for both Sat/Sun. The differance being that for many of the straight attendees The Club becomes a destination for all night fun and they are in general a higher maintenance form of customer. Also there tends to be a lot more drunkeness on site and the need to intervene to avoid violence, and more calls to the police to come and take some rowdy away to dry out. For Men Only Nights the customers in general were much more likely to show up and have some fun and leave. ie Not treating it as the destination but part of an over all night out. The slower turn around in rooms on the weekend Co-ed night leads to less income.

Too Bad my stay at the end of the month is only for the weekend I would have liked to see how their Co-ed Night worked. Maybe on another trip put to Vancouver.

I visited Friction on Thanksgiving Longweekend and it was somewhat busy. I found some hot men to play with and left very satisfied. But what I did notice was that it was somewhat far from the main drag. I guess one could make the same arguement about some of the Baths in Toronto.

Cheers All Happy Cruising zboy

Had a work thing to go to in that area today, so thought I would check it out just after lunch.
Yep, turns out it was just me and two others there. Thought with all the empty space on the main floor we should have turned the place into our own squash court.

What a joke.

The last post got me curious, so I just phoned Friction and asked (it's now 7 p.m., Sept. 23). Was told by the staffer who answered that blackout nights are still on -- the second and fourth Thursday of the month (just like the website said, when I checked it AGAIN).

I think I'm heading down there at some point today/tonight. When's the best time?

I was there this morning - was pretty quiet until about 1pm and then it got really busy. Blew twice and left. Also two hot new aussie guys working at front counter. One dark with beard and the other blonde. Very hot! Place is picking up. Might go back tomorrow.

The owners probably figure since those nights are dead for bathhouses in general, why not open it up to others.

Hotdickhole. You went on and on before when this place first opened and you claimed you went there. How come the need to describe what the basement looks like again?
You really like to bullshit alot don't you? Oh wait, scratch that. I think people are tired of seeing another 80 paragraphs long description of what you claim did and didn't happen to you. lol

Please go back to Calgary.

I just got back from Montreal which has 13 steam baths doing well. One alone has 240 rooms. I have to admit I think a big part of the problem in Vancouver, is the provincial law stopping guys smoking there. But bath houses elsewhere do different things. 1 in Montreal has a complete real peepshow with glryholes, movies in them but no money required. others have cars etc. in them turning them into more fantasy clubs. We have good dance clubs, We don't need them at the baths. Some people like to relax at the tubs not have music bouncing of the walls. I have to say I will continue going to Steam 1, as I like to go to the tubs for men.
