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?

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!
