We delighted to have hunky Indian man, Nirmalpal Sachdev back on the today’s show. You first fell in love with Nirmalpal on our inside tour of Steamworks, the men’s bath house that sponsors our show. As general manager at the premier Chicago men’s bath house, Nirmalpal has a very unique perspective on men’s sexuality.
Nirmalpal shares tips and tricks to make the most of your visit to a bath house. We also discuss our anxiety on nudity, sex and the body.
We’re really exctited about the potential of Graffitio, the new iPhone application! This app allows you to attach conversations to places. When you open the application it looks for virtual “walls” around you that were created by other users at restaurants, bars, stores, parks and yes, even public bathrooms. You can write anything you want on the wall and not get arrested for destroying property.
I can see this being a huge hit at Steamworks with graffiti like “I’m in room #214 looking for a submissive twink bear.” We’re sure it will be taken over by the gays, just like real graffiti in men’s bathrooms.
The Sex Olympics comes to complete halt as nine British women in Greece are arrested after being paid to perform in an oral sex contest on the Greek island of Zakynthos. We really wonder just how you judge an oral sex contest. After all, where would you even begin? Is it quantity or quality? What do you think? Help us decide in the comments section.
Fausto started a new work out regimen that’s kicking his ass. He’s doing a twelve week intensive training and he figures if he sticks to this routine then he’ll get a personal trainer to take him even further down the road of body building. Fausto reckons that if transsexuals or body builders can go to such great extremes to get the body they want, then dammit, he can too. I couldn’t be happier and I support him 100% as long as I get to enjoy the sexy results. Please show your support by not feeding him junk food or beer.
We received an email from a listener who was struggling with us flirting with guests, or as he says “.. in your over evaluation and time spent on discussing people’s physical and sexual attraction.” His email really made us think about how we interact with guests on the show.
We came to the conclusion that we subconsciously flirt because it helps create an intimate atmosphere for the show.
I told him that “People like to be told that they are attractive. It helps to open them up and give a good show.
I encourage you to tell the people in your life that they are beautiful and that they mean something to you. You will find, if you are sincere, that you will have a better relationship with them and they too will open up to you. It is that shared experience is what life is all about.”
I also recommend that he listen to the show we did on how to accept compliments.
Always fresh, hot and tasty- Feast of Fools.

July 15, 2008 at 11:18Well that gives me something interesting to do when I get home… (”oh, he had that kind of haircut in this… erm… nature film.”)
I always enjoy the shows that involve steamworks. Mainly because I always feel like I wouldn’t be comfortable going into one (too much temptation, too perilous) and I love the idea of the tour and learning what-all technologies exist for a cleaner, safer, more enjoyable time.
I keeps prudy, ol’ me from getting the wrong idea about the place.

July 15, 2008 at 12:10Fausto, are the exercise u are doing from http://www.p90x.com ??????? If so, that shit actually works, lol. I mention that because it is a 90 days workout and has a lot of that stuff.
I actually lost weight, how much, no idea because i did not weight myself, dumb i know but i used to be a 40 waist and now i am using 36 and i am aiming at 34 for the Madonna concert in Mexico City, woohoo!!!
Anyway, it does work and i am not even doing it 100%, lol.

July 15, 2008 at 13:59Amanda taught others on how to accecpt compliments? I find that hard to believe. Isn’t that the whole reason why she’s going on a transformation show, so she can start loving herself a little more? I for one can’t wait to see the transformation!
Who’s that hot indian stud on your show? Grrrr! I might have to go to Steamworks now and release the pressure.

July 15, 2008 at 19:58The exotic “compliment” is the bane of my existence. You couldn’t get more archetypally Southern Cal than I sound (read surfer-ish speech).
I love when you guys do the sex positive shows. I myself find the prospect of going to clubs and baths incredibly intimidating which is funny cause I’ve worked at several. Go figure. Nirmapal is a fabulous guest. I really enjoy when you have him on. Thanks guys!
Fructose Cornsyrup says:
July 15, 2008 at 21:11awww, Nirmalpal is so cute! He sounds and looks like such a nice guy. You should have him on the show more often.
CharlesVer33 says:
July 15, 2008 at 21:26I agree Trickytoro- Feast of Fools is so awesome because they embrace gay people in all the shapes and colors this crazy rainbow comes in, including the color RED! Ha ha. Sluts unite!
But seriously, use a condom. Proceed with caution.

July 16, 2008 at 19:37guys, lets face it, all bathhouses ARE dirty and creepy.
I mean, cocaine is the barney’s of drugs, but it is still shit
Nirmalpal says:
July 17, 2008 at 08:07No, binge drinking and hating on others is creepy. Get an open mind dude! Keep calling all that is part of our culture dirty and creepy, while many who hates gays call us “dirty and creepy”. You think you are any better to them because you are close minded about this one thing? Bathhouses have been around longer than you’ve been alive I’ll bet, and they offer a place to go that is removed from a bar and drugs. The fact that most gay men need alcohol or drugs ( and yes, marijuana is a drug) to feel okay with themselves before having sex…that’s dirty and creepy..

July 17, 2008 at 08:55I have met so many lovely men in bathhouses - some who became longtime partners and friends. ANY place can be dirty and creepy - and I know of specific bathhouses that fit that description quite well - but hello, there are plenty that are clean and well-managed. And clubs like Steamworks count MOST of the gay men in the cities in which they are located as members. I’d like to share a piece I wrote about a dear friend I met in a bathhouse in Bilbao, Spain. A couple of years later, I was invited to his wedding - a really incredible experience - and it all started in a bathhouse.

July 18, 2008 at 17:50Thanks, Nirmalpal, for your and Steamworks’ support of organizations like BEHIV in helping to educate people at risk of HIV infection. You are doing good things by utilizing Steamworks’ unique position to provide information, testing and services for people who might not be able to access them elsewhere.
Thank you again.

July 20, 2008 at 16:51It seems really strange to me that just about any major city has a good number of bath houses, enough that there’s at least healthy competition to actually make them want to improve on their services, keep them clean, make an effort with events etc. Any major city except one of the gay Mecas of the US: New York. I really REALLY wish we had a Steam Works or something like a bath house in NYC. Of the 2 places available here (both owned by the same company) you can’t really make one decent bath house. Might have to do with local laws, or all the red tape, or it’s just plain expensive, but these places really need some competition to get them to step up. I know if Steam works ever came to town, the other two places would soon go bankrupt. HELP Steam Works!! we need a real bath house in NYC!

July 21, 2008 at 08:31I’m still not too hot on sex in a bath house and have never done it yet. But I am hot for Nirmalpal, so maybe a private tour could fix that. Loved his cinematic oeuvre - I have studied it intensely.
Speaking as a Dutchman: Why is there no Steam Works in Amsterdam by the way? There is one in Arnhem, but that is sort of bumfuckville compared to the capital.

July 15, 2008 at 02:23I cant wait to listen to this. Oh and I am sooooo making my boyfriend listen to the show on compliments. I tell my boyfirend, Gonzalo, that he is beautiful all the time, b/c he is
,and b/c I love him. He always just says he’s not and laughs. I hope that show will help him. Lately I’ve been making him say, “Thank you” and then return the compliment and explain how I am whatever he compliments me on, just like I do. Because if you give a compliment to someone about something, then explain how they are what you complimented them on, it seems more sencere and people see it as more meaningful and legit, and thus makes them feel better. 
Just like Amanda and Fausto taught me to. 
Cant wait to hear this! Downloading it now! Love ya’ll
