INTRODUCTION:
So you live in Vancouver and are like me, you want to meet fun and sexy guys for a bit of fun time and the usual avenues are not really working for you. You probably thing like I used to, that bathhouses like F212 Steam are for older gay guys, those that are used to these places and it's like an impenetrable club of sorts. Well, surprise! It's not an exclusive, impenetrable circle of only older gay men; it's for all of us over 18 years old. This place, F212 Steam, even has discounts for guys between 18 and 22 to attract newcomers to the scene. I started with that a while back and got hooked. The place is great to meet guys and get together in their private rooms that can be rented in blocks of 8 hours maximum (unless you reserve online, but more on that later). I am a fan of the locker room and "Lights-Out Sundays," but still need to check out the "Orgy-Party Thursdays." These few names for events show you how varied the place and its customers are, giving you an idea of why I love it so much and why so many local men and tourists keep coming back for more. I've been a member for the advantages and the perks and I've helped out-of-town friends find the place to get a room for cheap for a long weekend with the basic room that starts at a really good price. F212 Steam has a lot to offer in my eyes.
ABOUT:
F212 Steam is a bathhouse as you have heard of, a great place to meet like-minded guys and get your groove on. It's a great bathhouse in and of itself and they have added services like paid locker rooms and rooms you can rent for a few hours or a full night. It's a good place to stay the night in a safe environment when you are in town for a few days and don't want to go full hotel room cost. They have a lot of special events, all listed on their website for clarity's sake, and all accessible to anyone coming to the steamhouse. It's got all kinds of fun tricks up its sleeve to make visitors feel comfortable and make connections happen more easily than at a nightclub or online. The best to meet a fun partner, a guy you'll want to jump the bones of, is in person while wearing next to nothing. The place is open-minded and the visitors are as well, with guys from 18 years old and up as you must be 18 and able to prove it to come in. The levels of maturity are something I had been looking for and F212 Steam offers that and then some. It's a great place to discover a new partner, discover yourself, discover all the fun you can have in a safe space. I have been really happy with all my experiences here, even when the guys I went for turned out to be a bit lackluster (not the bathhouse's fault).

PROS:
F212 Steam is a great place to come hang out with fun people, sexy guys. There is no way you won't find at least one cute guy in the bunch that you want to just take home and have your way with for hours on end. The first I went, that was it, I was hooked. The guys I met there were so hot! They were ready to hang out and ready to show me all that F212 Steam has to offer. It was a crazy good first impression and so I came back for a second helping and goodness was that helping epic! I have been coming back fairly regularly since and I have got to say, it's my favorite in Vancouver for so much more than the near 100% chance of finding a temporary (or long term, I don't judge honey) partner, it's the place I get to come and relax. I don't need to have my guard up here. No one is out to get you, no one is out to out you. Here, everyone is visiting for the same reasons, to relax and have fun. Having a good time is my main reason to come here as it helps me unwind. Being able to do this in a safe environment with a great atmosphere is even better. The parties are always hopping and coming to one of their "Lights Out" events is something you won't soon forget. I've been coming back more and more lately and I see why I am not the only one. The regulars all know each other, the staff is lovely, and the place is clean and helps bring more to the table than just "here's my junk, want to fuck?" that most websites and apps seem to offer. Here it's about connection and chemistry; it's about humans and not just notches on the bedpost.
