The author, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mcvie\" target=\"_blank\">Joel McVie<\/a>, writes in his blog that &#8220;This is a collection of blog entries featuring my bathhouses experiences. I blogged about them because the incidents had funny, memorable or out-of-the-ordinary moments that lifted them above the usual hot-steamy-sex-then-forget-about-him-and-go-home experiences one has in such places.&#8221; Really an interesting read. <\/p>\n<p>Joel explains his purpose for writing the book<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;So, why make this book?
