A Man Replaced Lube With Hydrochloric Acid in a Sydney Gay Club Bathroom

a reply to: reldra

The lube dispenser is likely something like this, that us motion activated and hygenic since you don't have to touch it.

I looked at the gallery for the place. I saw soap dispensers that you touch in the shower area. I didn't see any like the ones that you would like everyone to presume are there.

Sometimes I just don;t know what goes through people's minds.

As a straight male, I have never been in a gay bath house, so what would you expect me to have go through my mind?

Would Freud say anything if I typed: "Butt Madam that is phallic in its shape..."

I'd type more but I have too much dirt on My hands to point fingers, oh that and the fact I'm typing this in swim fins and a catcher's mask...

Stay Hydrated...

I don't expect you to know what one looks like. I was referring to people guessing it was more of a bar with a random dispenser in the bathroom.

I suspect that type of dispenser as they have been 'alarmed', they aren't cheap. On top of them saying tampering happened before, I suspect people attempted to steal them. The soap/shampoo dispensers are attached to the wall. It was only a guess.

When i first saw the headlime, I thought they were talking about the "other" acid.

Would that not have melted the dispenser?

If the dispenser was glass no, but i would guess it would eventually have disolved the working parts of the valving system unless they were made of glass also, which i doubt.

I think it was plastic, going by Reldra's pic. Anywho, glad no one was harmed.

Well is one lesson to be learn with this incident, please people bring your own personal lube, do not use the public lube in the public bathroom.

a reply to: reldra

That doesn't make communal sex lube any less icky, and I'd be saying that if we were talking about straight folks.

Community lube, bringing the community together ....

This is really information i did not need to know , now that i do just yuk......as far as the acid goes, some people are really sick to think this was a good idea whatever the motivation shows how far we are gone as a species when members of the community think up and attempt to do something so nasty and potential dangerous ...

Oh....'BATHHOUSE' not 'BATH ROOM'! Phew...well I'm glad that's all. All good then I guess?

Only two pages on the thread and we have an actual picture of the dispenser and a description of its location. I'm still not clear on the dispensing operation part yet. We need some CGI.

How did the acid not eat its way through the dispenser? Then the a tapering device detected it? I have never seen a dispenser with anti-tampering devices. Maybe a lock or something. Is communal lube tampering so rampant in Australia this is common practice?

So this a**h***, intent on causing some serious harm, did enough homework to know where the dispenser was, sneak in acid, put the acid in, and sneak out. Then how come he didn't know about the NASA level acid-detection protocols in said communal lube dispenser?

Too many holes in this story. It comes off just a little too slick. I think he is being set up.

I assume it's more of an all kinks & all privacy levels club here. Gay, straight, voyeur, orgy, etc. Everybody has their kinks & some prefer in-person interaction over internet porn.

I'm not much of a wild girl in the bedroom personally, but I do love me some gay porn. I'm not about to ask to watch 2 guys go at it or go to a club to watch a mixed orgy, but if someone else wants to, who cares. Whatever gets 'em off.

Yeah, you don't get it.

This isn't a judgment about what is happening there.

This is just the idea of public lube. There is just something creepy about the thought of a place needing so much lube they just stuck a big ol' soap dispenser full of it on the wall for anyone to use. And then the idea that you don't know how many others used it or for what ...

Take the public lube out, and I can deal with the idea of bath house and what it implies much easier.

Wow. This thread is surely showing the true colors or many members here.

Reldra pointed out this was a social club and bathhouse, and not simply a bar with a lube dispenser in the john. Also - i garuntee it was something motion activated just like pictured.

Im not going to lie - hearing these things exist shocked me too but to get off on somebody filling it with acid? Pretty messed up.

And a lot of high horses here acting appalled. Have you ever been into a guys bathroom at a podunk gas station in the middle of nowhere on a road trip? Or a bathroom in a 'men's club' or ANY bathroom in say Vegas? Yeah? Guess what is in damn near all of em. Coin operated machines which dispense single condoms and yes lube packets as well. What do you think those are there for?

Guys with transients doing them anywhere you can imagine including bathrooms. Among other things. Not much better honestly lol.

a reply to: lightedhype

There is a difference between individual packets and a squirt in your palm. The packet at least can travel. The squirt in your palm implies you are ready to get right down to it right there and that enough do so that they need to set up a communal dispenser.

Bath House? So what? It creates a mental image I just can't quite contemplate easily.

And if you call it a "high horse" to be sort of squicked out by the thought of a bunch of people getting busy in a communal setting, then you have a tiny horse to ride on.

LOLOL!! All kinds of weird stuff!

There was a club in NY I wanted to visit, called Plato's Retreat, I think. this was the 70's.

Just for grins.

I have been in many gay bars and clubs and always had fun with my girlfriend and gay friends there.

Never been to a bathhouse and wouldn't go, no need.

I hope they nail that dude to a wall.

a reply to: reldra

Ahhh, gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.

I still think the bath house should replace the communal dispenser with individual travel/sample packets instead, kind of like the way hotels give guests the little bottles of shampoo and soap. Especially if tampering has been a problem in the past.

The first thing I thought of when I read your post was Jesse Pinkman melting that dude in his bathtub after Walter told him to buy the plastic barrel.

"Breaking Bad" rocks. Thanks for the flashback!

Is it not the exact mechanism anyone should expect to find in a classy establishment like a bath house?

I think the point of the story is that some guy tried to put HCl in it, guys; once you're past the fact that the lube dispensers exist. Believe it or not, that's the shocking/weird part.
