Cathedral City Boys Club
The "sex" hotels of the Palm Springs area have always been a dirty little fantasy of mine. Over the July 4th weekend my husband and I spent two days exploring and enjoying (more than less) CCBC. Before I get to my sarcastic and fantasy shattering observations I want to say that yes I would go back.
We left OC Saturday afternoon and made it up to Cathedral City in a few hours. Let me tell you a bit about Cathedral City...it's in the desert between an Indian Casino and One of my favorite mountains ever, Mnt. San Jacinto. I know that it is weird to have a favorite mountain but i always have fun when I go backpacking there I have a fantastic time. But that is NOT what we are talking about. We are talking about a resort hotel/men's club/sex club/naked men all over. I have to admit that we did not stay at CCBC. We stayed at a budget motel about a mile from the resort. The nice part about the motel room was that it was small with a large air conditioner. Small space+big AC= freedom from the 117 degree desert heat.
A side note here is that this area around Palm Springs has been long known as a destination for Gay gentlemen who may have retired or just want to get away from the youth obsessed So Cal coast cities. They make a lot of porn around there too. Some of which has been made at CCBC. Go back through your
Hot Desert Knights porn collection and you will find at least one filmed at CCBC. Kinda cool and kinda nasty.
Kinda cool and kinda nasty perfectly describes my two days at CCBC. Day one or evening one if you want to be picky was fucking fun. I got head from 4 or 5 guys. Got to watch my husband get the same treatment. I toyed with my man for a bit in the S&M room, ate his hole for a long time with a bunch of guys watching and saw some hot hot hot BB sex. I know it isn't PC to say you like bareback sex ( intercourse sans the condom for the newbies) but i have to admit watching anonymous bb sex in person REALLY turned me on. Me and hubby both. We made the choice to not participate beyond getting head while watching the BB sex in the "barracks" play area.
Let's back up...as in if you haven't Googled it or used the above link check out the CCBC website and virtual tour then do so. It will help in understanding what I'm talking about. Anyway there was a fair amount of weed being smoked by the smell of the smoke coming out of my mouth...and other peoples mouths too. People were drinking, swimming naked,making out, chit chatting and laughing. I dug the vibe.
With the 117 degree weather all I wore was flip flops, a trucker cap and sunglasses. I think I was hot. I felt hot and it wasn't the sauna like dry heat of the desert. There were a few gents who felt the same way so that was pretty cool.
Pros:
- A very relaxing and friendly atmosphere during the day.
- Sexy guys.
- Naked sexy guys
- Naked sexy guys having sex.
- Naked sexy guys blowing me.
- You can get a room at this place with a sling in it.
- Sill play areas that allow for a limited range of fantasies to be played out.
- Day passes available so you don't have to be there all the time. A pass is good for exit and reentry for 12 hours. It was cool to be able to go back to my own motel. A pass was $25.
Cons:
Here is the reality of the place. Much like nude beaches and well nude anything you run into folks you kinda don't want to see naked. Everyone is welcome at CCBC. Except women and children. I think it's really cool that guys can go there and just hang out with guys. Guys like to fuck and suck, and cum as well. I do. Where CCBC lost me was three fold. When i realized that talking was fairly taboo in the play areas I got irritated with it. The means of communication were limited to eye contact, posture, and nipple pinching. Yup, nipple pinching. My nips got pinched and teased and twisted which is fine if you are already making me feel good. To have men simply "test my waters" by tapping and pinching my nips got annoying fast. Hubby and I decided to break from the norm and were not shy about speaking up, being very vocal about how good or how bad a BJ was. I even thanked people for their oral attention. one guy gave such god head i kept telling anyone who walked b how awesome it was. I got a kick out of scaring a few guys who couldn't seen to handle being spoken directly to in that environment. HA!
My next issue with CCBC is the price. Rooms are expensive there. Not that the rooms looked unclean or shabby. The rooms looked as decent as my motel room...for 4 times the price. Location, Location,Location. I understand why the price is high. I just don't think you are getting that much more from CCBC by staying there. The $25 for the day pass is steep. Essentially you are paying for the privilage to have the opportunity for anonymous sex. Hey I paid for it. I'm not on a high horse here. I'm just income challenged.
Lastly, meth. How I fell out of love with CCBC. Too many tweekers. I don't know if the meth dealer just shows up at 11pm there or that is just the magic crystal hour. Either was it was nasty. I watched one guy, maybe 25 years old, scuttle around like a cockroach. He moved from dark corner to dark corner sparking up his little glass tube. He had followers too. He was the messiah of meth and disciples followed him like waxed skeletons sneaking through the night. If you have never seen someone smoke meth then you haven't been to CCBC. It's not CCBC's fault. They turn a blind eye but a resort hotel can't force anyone to smoke meth. At least not outside of a horror movie or nightmare. People choose that for themselves. I was all kinds of tweekers. Big beefy builder tweekers, skinny might be the walking dead tweekers, young good looking tweekers, tweekers that never stopped moving (all of them were this type mixed with another) and happy tweekers. Some looked like they were having the time of their lives. Just nasty.
I imagine that with time the less appealing aspects of CCBC will fade and I will remember the more strange and enjoyable parts of my trip. If you asked me if it would be something I would recommend I would tell you yes. Yes and be aware of what you are really getting into.
CCBC rates somewhere between sexy crack house and gay summer camp.
