Well another fun podcasting field trip! I was going to ask if you boys were fully dressed, toweled, or just out and out nekkid, but the pictures would seem you stayed in your clothes the entire time (bummer!)…

Sal, you need to get an alarm clock (or just have me next to you to zap you awake)….

You boys have my vote (and comments) on the gay bloggies! Looks like a no-brainer for a surefire win to you Fausto as those other entries were just plain LAME!!!

Okay, gotta get back to work….

The visual of Fausto melting away in his sisters wedding dress in the giant whirlpool of steamworks is so awesome! I can only imagine the reactions of the people there lol. Great show and awesome pictures on the Flickr. I hope you win the GayBloggies Fausto I have been voting on every post since the start.

Haven’t even listened to the show yet but just saw the pic and if Nirmalpal is providing customer service at Steamworks, I want some of it! Does he give Safe Sex demonstrations?

“This is so cute! You could do puppet shows!” Ha! Quote of the day. Thanks for providing my one and only trip to Steamworks — I enjoyed the tour. Brings a whole new meaning to “The Feast of Fools PRESENTS…”

Go, go, Fausto! Gay bloggies GOLD!

and to add, “douching” more than like once every two weeks can be LETHAL. You NEED electrolytes and you can basically wash them out of your system and die. It’s rare as hell but it happens. Ask any doctor.

Oh, and I’m wondering if the video of the coach you were watching was from Randy Blue. That was one of our most popular videos. I smiled when you were talking about that.

Wow! I loved today’s show guys! Great job. I”m so happy you made it even better by taking pics. I’m going to have to go visit Steamworks now and visit a glory hole.

While I’m working at one of my jobs, Cold Stone Creamery, I am by myself from 10-5. So I listen to FOF all day so I don’t feel so alone.

Well today’s episode…haha…I think some old people overheard it coming from the backroom as the music in the lobby switched songs conveniently at the same exact time the ice cream machine turned off.

They kept looking at me weird. Hahaha.

I can already see the water show……….Can I pick my back up dancers?
and I will be needing a new cap and this time I will not be using the Floatation devices aka the “Float-Tees” on my arms.
Love ya

I really loved this episode. Chicago is very different then NYC. We have exactly 1 bath house here that I know of. It is clean but nothing like Steamworks. No public sex allowed, no orgy or sex rooms at all. If you want to have sex you must use a private room with the door closed. The staff insist on closing the doors of rooms with 2 people in them. No sauna, no steam, no whirlpool. Steamworks reminds me of the NYC bath houses of the 70’s and early 80’s. Club Baths and Man Country were my favorites. Dollar a dick night was very popular! Thanks for a great podcast.

It is really too bad Sal-E couldn’t make it to the show, he would have added the dirty. Earlier this year I was feeling ugly, horny and alone, the perfect combonation for going to the bath house. So I took a few trips and really got my money’s worth. But this bath house was nothing like steam works. They have one CD that they play over and over every two hours. The showers do not get hot so there is a lot of shrinking. The maze is nothing more than five walls that go back and forth, no dead ends or anything. The steam room smells every and is small and the sauna is dark so you have to get up close before you can tell if the person across the room is actually a human.

Worst thing that happened was some guy grabbed me, and started to feel around as I tried to fight him off. The guy was somewhat good looking and I would have probably had sex with him if he didn’t attack me.

Wow, thanks for the tour guys… even though I’ve been there once or twice, you actually pointed out some things I evidently missed

And you should have had Nirmalpal show you around in just a towel, for that authentic feel

Sorry for the late comment — I didn’t have a internet connection until now. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Never been to Steamworks since there isn’t one down in So. Cal., but compared to the few bath houses I’ve been to in So. Cal, it certainly seem like it’s a better establishment than most.

Though about the health-related information available at Steamwoks… While I think it’s really great to have those information in flyers, pamphlets as well as from staff members, but I get the sense as if Steamworks *HAD TO* include all of those health-related information to keep the sex police away. Perhaps that is the case, perhaps it is not.
