What makes Menfriends special

Menfriends spreads over two floors and combines a classic sauna with cruising areas such as a maze and dungeon. Almost every day has a fixed theme, from nude and underwear days to an afternoon play party. The sauna puts an emphasis on health: condoms and prophylaxis are available on site, and regular STI tests are recommended. It is run by the same company as the attached shop and a massage service.
