STEAM ROOM STORIES: The Movie
This hammy, VERY fleshy comedy is chock full of wet skin, immaculately white toweling and GORGEOUS washboard abdominals. Sounds like a scene out of heaven, right? What gay man doesn’t covet a night in the steam and a terrific physique to match up with it? What’s going to happen though, when a disgraced makeup executive (played with vigor by the iconic Traci Lords) realizes that she covets TOTAL control of this place and the very abled bodies that go hand in hand with it? “Steam Room Stories: The Movie” is a terrific tale and a very successful follow-up to the energetic YouTube series first released in 2010. Laugh, cry, hope not to get towel whipped. Do keep in mind there’s a reason why the series has received more than 53 million views, after all!
