By Christy Smith-Sloman. It looks like the set of a porn movie. During two recent visits, The Post found patrons in their birthday suits, groping each other, making out and having what appeared to be underwater sex. Last Sunday, the clientele ranged in age from toddlers to octogenarians. But that did not stop a group of five heavily tattooed twenty-somethings from engaging in splashy sexcapades in the 2-foot-deep, heated wading pool on the second floor.
House music pulsing, one of the women stripped naked and cheerfully played with her breasts while a woman in a yellow-fringe string bikini and a man looked on. A few minutes later, the nude woman stood in front of the seated man while her hand jerked in and out of the water.
A couple made out a few feet away. The mega-spa is the brainchild of developer Steve Chon, 56, who came to New York from South Korea in when he was He envisioned it as a family-friendly hotel-spa.

The wading pool is where much of the action occurs. There is also a kiddie pool, and the steamy behavior often occurs even as children roam the grounds. Bunny, 63, a retired nurse from the East Village, said he was once propositioned. I like them. When the guy came out of the pool, he had the biggest erection I had ever seen. Messages and emails seeking comment from the spa and its owner on the allegations of sexual activity were not returned.
