Minneapolis considering legalizing sex venues

| April 10, 2026 | 37 Comments

Four proposed Minneapolis ordinances aim to legalize venues that allow sexual activity as well as adult bathhouses. If approved, procedures for licensing, zoning, and health regulations would be in place for those desiring to have establishments that cater to these activities. These ordinances would also add new definitions that would facilitate establishments where consensual sex could occur. Minneapolis imposed the current ban back in 1988.

From Fox News:

The Minneapolis City Council is preparing to consider legalizing and regulating venues, such as bathhouses, where consenting adults can engage in sexual activity, possibly reversing the city’s 38-year ban.

The ordinances in question would remove “stigmatizing language” and add “new definitions to be inclusive of establishments where sexual activity between consenting adults may be facilitated,” according to The Minnesota Star Tribune. The outlet noted that bathhouses and sex clubs operated in the city until a 1988 ordinance banned businesses that facilitate “high-risk sexual conduct,” which was defined as fellatio, anal intercourse and vaginal intercourse for pay.

The language of the 1988 ordinance was changed in 2023 at the behest of activists with the Safer Sex Spaces Coalition, who argued that it targeted same-sex partnerships and individuals with HIV and AIDS, the Tribune reported. Additionally, the Safer Sex Spaces Coalition argued that the ban discouraged outreach to communities and drove sex-related gatherings to “unsafe and inaccessible spaces.”

“The Minneapolis Health Department and other public health organizations acknowledge this ordinance is no longer the tool needed to promote public health. Social science research tells us that commercial sex spaces, like gay saunas, are important for promoting safer sex practices, enhancing HIV prevention, and increasing access to testing and treatment. These spaces also enhance feelings of identity, camaraderie, authenticity, and belonging. They are spaces where people overcome isolation and develop a sense of community and pride,” the coalition said.

The Safer Sex Spaces Coalition was formed in response to pushes against the 1988 ordinance, according to its website.

One proposed ordinance would add a new chapter to the city code specifically for adult sex venues, according to CBS News. The ordinance would establish licensing and business regulations for businesses that facilitate sexual activity between consenting adults. The outlet reported that a second ordinance would update definitions and standards in the city’s zoning code for sexually oriented uses.

“They are spaces where people overcome isolation and develop a sense of community and pride”

Maybe blowjobs and anal sex in public settings isn’t exactly something one should take a lot of pride in performing.

Gay or hetero.

Why do they need a public space to engage in these activities in order to feel proud of themselves?

Love who you like, it’s none of my business…but public sex clubs and pride in taking part in those activities doesn’t make the whole community stronger or safer.

Instead of worrying about who feels proud of themselves because they took it up the ass at the local bathhouse perhaps they should consider ways to make the city safer for people just out having dinner or buying groceries for their families…instead of bathhouses perhaps some funding for police to drive down that group of crimes that is on the rise in Minneapolis would make the entire city proud of having a safer community for everyone, not just the few who enjoy bathhouses and sex clubs.

Query: Will the city building code for these gay bath houses require a specified number of glory holes? Also, to accommodate all those Muslim and Somali residents, will the code require facilities for the “consenting” goats for the inter-species lovemaking?

Tallywhagger

Now that’s a matter that Amy could get “behind”.

The glory holes in the restrooms better be handicap accessible, or some lawyer will be filing a lawsuit.

rgr769

So true. There was a corrupt lawer in a wheelchair that made his career suing businesses that were as little as an inch out of compliance of the ADA specifications for handicap accessibility. Fortunately, he dropped dead a few years ago.

Okay, wait a damn minnit.
I am born an raised in Minnesota and I know that there’s a protocol when it comes to sex.
In my county we always ask; “Hey sis, are you awake?” before we engage in any sort of sexual behavior.

Hey, wierdos at the Folsom Street Fair in SF do that already!

What could go wrong here? Asking for the Syed Shafeeq Rahman, Iman at Omar Mateen’s mosque.

The same party that shrieked when you chin diaper wasn’t secure wants roll back laws to protect from their own reckless proclivities. I wonder what our local member of the pro-sexual deviants party thinks about reopening gay bath houses?

I know that Eric Swallowswell is a not a Minnesotaian, but I wonder what his take is on this. He’s quite the Perv aint he?

A Proud Infidel®™

Yeah, and I’ve seen the fuss he’s made over files of his “bang-bang” sessions in the sack with “Fang-Fang”, a known spy for the CCP being released!

rgr769

He in fact must know what is in those files as Peter Strzok’s wingman, Joe Pientka, is working for Swallowswell. All Joe had to do was call his Deep State pals at the Fan Belt Inspectors’ HQ in DC, and he could get a full read on what is in those files. Pientka is presently a “senior adviser” to Swallowswell.

Tallywhagger

I wonder if he has ever met the father of his children.

rgr769

His current exposures are about to end his political career. That video of him hugging and kissing a hooker has just sealed the deal. All 21 of the D-rat Congresspukes have withdrawn their endorsements of him for Commiefornia governator, and Nasty Nan has demanded he withdraw from the race.

Another thing, I’m sure that they have already figured out a way to ensure that there is absolutely no way that human trafficking finds its way into their new plan for generating money! I mean now that the “Learing Centers” have fallen apart.

Sodom meet gamorrah. Further proof there is no level the demokrat party will not sink to in order to pander to perversion and the extreme fringe of society.

They’re figuring out a way to tax or otherwise get revenue out of it. Watch.
