Opened in 1991 as the first legal gay bathhouse in Sydney, Bodyline (10 Taylor St., 61-2-9360-1006) remains the top gay sex venue in the city, if not in Australia - a definitive cruising and hooking-up spot on a quiet side street just off the main gay nightlife, Oxford Street. Beyond the unassuming exterior, you'll find a nicely laid-out, clean, and pleasantly staffed four-story facility that includes a top-floor sundeck, a well-traveled maze of private rooms showing the latest gay porn flicks, a full gym with pool and steam room, and a movie cinema located on the main floor, where guests check in, dress and undress in the clean locker area, and can even grab a coffee or snacks in a small lounge. It's a nice operation, and with a $23 admission, it's not cheap either for one-time visitors - but be sure to check the club's website for news of deals and discounts.
