>Phill B. had only been coming to Decadence a few weeks when he first noticed Friction. At first it wasn’t even the size of him or the rumors that drew Phills's eye—it was the stillness. In a room built on motion and noise, Friction stood like a held breath. Phill would catch himself watching the way people subtly adjusted when he passed, how conversations softened or sharpened depending on where that broad, quiet figure settled.>From Phill’s corner near the bar, it felt almost like being on the edge of a storm. Every glance Friction gave sent a ripple through the crowd, and when his eyes briefly met Phill’s, it was like being seen all the way through. Phill didn’t move, didn’t dare to, but something in his chest tightened with a mix of nerves and thrill. Whatever stories the regulars told about Friction, Phill realized, they all missed one thing: how it felt to be pulled into that gravity for just a second, and to know that if you stepped closer, your night—and maybe more—would never be quite the same.— from Mark Smith’s new book Wet Nights: The Untold Story of America’s Gay Bathhouses (2025), p. 86.
Vinnie Vegas went down the wrong alleyway and got lost trying to get to the bathhouse back in 1992. But lucky for him, there was still plenty of friction.
Bronn, it's only half Phil's fault your match sucked. Either way, I look forward to see your uncle Scott cut deranged promos burying Phil.

>>19671296lmao what? im from st. louis and my old man used to take me to decadence all the time back in the day. he'd tell the bug chasers there that i had a highly contagious strain but really it was just packets of smuckers strawberry that he'd make me rub between my ass cheeks out in the parking lot before we went in.
>By the time closing lights flicked on, Friction was usually gone, leaving behind only the low murmur of stories and a faint sense that something electric had passed through. “You’d swear the room still held his heat,” laughs Kevin N., nursing a glass of wine. “Not in a creepy way—more like he’d stirred everyone up just by being there.” To the regulars, he wasn’t just a wrestler slumming it in a basement club; he was a kind of ritual, a reminder that even in a place built on bravado and bravura, there was room for quiet intensity and careful respect, a pulse that kept Decadence feeling alive long after the music cut.— from Mark Smith’s new book Wet Nights: The Untold Story of America’s Gay Bathhouses (2025), p. 92.

>>19671873I wonder what other books like this were recommended to Kevin by the algorithm?
>>19672315I would think Friction would have the midget inserted into his asshole that would definitely give him that burn he's looking for
>“At the bathhouse, Harley never gave us his real name,” recalls Joe F., who played with Race regularly at a St. Louis establishment called Decadence. “We sort of knew he was a big time pro wrestler, but that never came up in conversation: we just knew him as ‘Friction.’” Race’s nickname owed to his preference, well known around the club, for forgoing lubricant when engaging in anal play: “Spit only,” he’d growl to new men who lined up behind him. No stranger to pain in the wrestling ring, friends say Race liked the rough intensity of the act, even if scrapes, burns, and even bleeding would sometime occur after an extended session. He was a fixture around the club on nights when wrestling was in town, and patrons remember him as a man who didn’t speak much, but was always willing to test his physical limits with the right partner.— from Mark Smith’s new book Wet Nights: The Untold Story of America’s Gay Bathhouses (2025), p. 83.

You can't hide yourself now wolfpedo
>>19675199Nash was raped also>Over time, “Friction” became something of a legend at Decadence. His presence lent the club a strange kind of celebrity allure—though few ever connected the quiet, stocky man in the dim back rooms with the flamboyant figure throwing bodies around in the ring on TV. “He was respectful, intense, and totally committed to whatever was put in him,” recalls another regular, known only as Jim C. “If you went with Friction, you had to be ready—he didn’t mess around, and he didn’t slow down.”>Despite the roughness of his preferences, Race’s partners almost universally describe him as conscientious—a man who understood the line between consensual brutality and actual harm. “He checked in, always,” says Dutch. “He had this way of locking eyes with you mid-act, like, ‘You good?’ It was silent, but you got it. That was his way.”>Off the mats and out of the dark, he was rarely seen. “He came and went like a ghost,” Joe F. says. “I don’t think anyone saw him arrive or leave—he’d just appear. Towel slung low, drink in hand, already scouting.”Page. 84
>>19671247The signs were there we should have seen them.

Has Wolfey finally moved on from Daniel Bryan?
>>19675180> Wet Nights: The Untold Story of America’s Gay Bathhouses>The book reads like a piece of underground sports reportage, sketching a shadowed side of a famous wrestler’s life that contrasts sharply with his public persona. Through the recollections of people who knew him only by a nickname, it portrays a man who carried the same toughness, risk-taking, and appetite for intensity from the ring into private, hidden spaces. As a journalist, I’d say what’s most striking here is not the shock value but the human texture: a portrait of someone who lived without much separation between who he was onstage and who he was off it, embracing his extremes with a kind of raw honesty that makes the story feel vivid, if unsettling.— Marcus Ellery, St. Louis Sentinel
