Chequers, Zanadu, Babylon, the other one that was on Pitt St in the building next door to the current 360 Pitt location of CBD Style, all of these were run in the same "HK style" spa sauna. Lockers for all your personal belongings, shared bathing facilities until you get to the room with your girl in it.

That means you're going to be surrounded by lots of naked blokes and literally zero female contact from the time you strip and put your stuff into the locker, until you meet your girl.

The whole experience was weird. It takes a while to get used to it. I somehow did after going a handful of times back then, mostly went to Babylon. You get conditioned not to look "down", lol...

On a side note, this type of setup is very popular in Asian countries. In China, there are huge "health" centres where men and women can go. Sex services are offered to men, but all the action is kept in the room only when it's needed. Outside of that, you can spa / sauna / have a massage / eat and drink / play ping pong and spend the whole day there if you wanted to without even a clue sex was happening in those places.

In Malaysia, they tried to replicate a similar thing. I went to one that was so deep inside an office building, you wouldn't have had a clue such a place existed there apart from the telling smell of disinfectant in the stairwell leading to the place. It was awesome. Free food and drink (all cheap stuff but still tasty!), they let you spend the whole day there if you wanted to. You can play ping pong, pool, and they had a huge lounge area where they periodically paraded the beauties out for viewing and selection. Fark it was great!!
