I wanna get in your hot tub baby

Have you ever thought about what heaven could be like? I believe my heaven would be something like being at Watercourse Way. It has a calming Zen feel from the moment you walk through the door - Asian inspired decor, soft music, and soothing smells. The outside world disappears at the doorstep and while you wait to be escorted to your room there is ice cold water or hot teas for sipping.
The first time my husband suggested we go to this bath house a completely different image popped up in my mind. I thought of San Francisco and the "Soak and Pokes" that were the fame of the gay community in the 1980s. Watercourse Way, however, does not have a tawdry feel. It is an upscale, clean, and professional establishment that is as good for a single individual or a group of friends as it is for couples. They offer tub rooms, massage, and spa services.
I decided I should post a review of this little known gem after a visit this past Saturday. My husband I and go every 2-3 months to play in their rooms. We usually book a room with a hot tub, sauna or steam room and cold plunge. We've been to all of the 5 rooms that have these features and they are all marvelous. This time we called at the last minute and got the room Two Stones. It did not have a cold plunge but the hot tub had a beautiful waterfall flowing into it and was big enough for 10 people.
We also got their couples massage package on one occasion. I enjoyed how my husband and I were together throughout the whole experience - the steam room/shower, the exfoliating rub and the side by side massages. Other places we've been to separated us for part of the time. And they use hot rocks as part of their massage--such nirvana.
Our favorite tub room is Six Dragonflies. It has a tub, cold plunge and sauna. The tub and cold plunge are made out of wood (perhaps cedar) that smells really good. All of the rooms have controls for the music, lights, amount of steam or temperature of sauna and an intercom with the front desk. The doors also lock automatically so there's no chance of intrusion from the outside world. Six Dragonflies also has a skylight that makes it ideal for a daytime escape from reality. Did I mention that all of the tub rooms also have a bed for, um, resting?
We went there once on a date with another couple and boy was that great! The feeling of being in a different world, one free of responsibilities, worries and full of romantic mood lubricants made for a fun and relaxed time. We had the tub room Nine Bats, a crowd favorite with glowing jellyfish on the wall and twinkling stars on the ceiling. That was seriously the best make out session ever! I think I had the after-sex glow for days.

  1. I love Watercourse Way but have never experienced the glowing stars of Nine Bats. But I love dark places, as those seem to be where I most enjoy sex. Blocking out as many environmental stimuli as possible (such as light) really helps me completely let myself go!

    I love your blog Lexi! Please keep writing. ;)
