Gayspeak: 찜방 (Gay Sauna Cruising Spot)


As mentioned on this blog in the past, there are saunas in Korea where you can find a bit of man on man action. So what do we call them?

찜방 (jjim-bang)

It comes from the word that most of you will be familiar with: 찜질방. Leave it to the gays to shorten it... There are a bit of them in Seoul... check out List of Gay Saunas in Seoul to find the one nearest you.

Let's use it in some expressions:

야, 이년아! 어제 찜방에 갔니? Hey, bitch! Did you go to a sauna last night? 

응. 어제 술 많이 마셔서 찜방에서 잤어. Yeah. Yesterday I slept in the sauna. 

찜방에 잘 생긴 남자 많았어. There were a lot of handsome men in the sauna
