\nSteve’s Bathhouse<\/b><\/u><\/a> in Reno, Nevada has hit a milestone. It is celebrating over 50 year in business. Which makes it the oldest bathhouse in the United States. According to their Facebook<\/b><\/u><\/a> page, they first opened its doors in January 1, 1962. <\/p>\n

To celebrate this milestone its proprietor, the very low-key and amiable, Steve Daugherty has given a very rare interview. He speaks about his 50 plus years in the bathhouse industry at Steve’s Bathhouse.<\/p>\n

We just offer an option for meeting other people,\u201d Steve Daugherty says. \u201cSome people come here just to watch The Price is Right. Some come here just for company, just to be here. The thing about the bisexual community is they live in that world, so this world is really exotic or whatever. It\u2019s not to me; it\u2019s dull as dirt. But for somebody else, it\u2019s exciting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another demographic that frequents the bathhouse is crossdressers.<\/p>\n

They feel like they don\u2019t fit here and don\u2019t fit there,\u201d he says. \u201cI always felt like they were very misunderstood. Even I don\u2019t understand them, and I\u2019m not going to pretend to. I like that they feel comfortable enough to do that here. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a sexual thing. I think it\u2019s just that they put their things on, and they feel better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
