First time at a gay sauna? Not a problem, we know it can be like walking into the unknown so we put together a guide for a visit to Steam, we call this our first time visitors guide.

We allow adult males 18 years and over entry to the complex.

How old do I have to be to visit the gay sauna Leeds?

We allow adult males 18 years and over entry to the complex.

Is it members only?

To visit Steam, you must be a registered member. To become a member, you will need to complete our membership application form, which takes about a minute to fill out.

NO ID Required unless you look younger than 21!

I am discreet and do not want anyone to know I have visited Steam!

At Steam Complex, we follow a discreet and confidential policy. We do not share your details with anyone. Your membership information is only shared with us when you visit the complex.

So, it’s my first time visiting steam complex and I am waiting at the door, what next?

There is a black door which is the main entrance into the reception area at Steam.

The reception area is a private room and looks pretty much like a booking in area in a hotel.

You will be greeted by one of our team who will ask you if you have been to Steam Complex before.

Tell them you are a new member and they will swiftly help you become a member. This takes about 3 minutes in total.

Once you have completed your membership application our Staff Team will book you into the complex, upon payment of your entry, and then pass you a towel and a locker key. Your key will have a rubber band attached, similar to what you would get if you visited the local swimming baths – you must keep this key with you at all times during your visit, most members will put this key around their ankle or wrist for safe keeping.You will then be directions to access the locker room.

I’m not sure how long I want to visit, how long can I stay?

On the day of your visit, you are welcome to stay at the complex for as long as you like until we close.

You are free to stay for as short or as long a time as you wish.

What if I call in and need to go somewhere, say into town, then call back that day – do I have to pay to get in again?

No, we allow you to ask for a ‘Pass Out’ at reception – this is a FREE pass that will allow you back into the complex on the same day you have paid entry.

Do I need to bring along anything special, clothing wise?

Apart from your payment to the complex, and extra if you wish to buy any food or drinks, just bring yourself!

The idea of using Steam is to change from your clothes and put your clothes into your locker and then pop on your towel. We have various sizes of towels to fit all.

If you would like to wear swimming trunks or shorts under your towel you may do so. In all public areas, i.e. the lounge area, bar area, corridors, you must wear your towel.

So, do I only get the one towel?

No, we appreciate towels get wet or damp so we provide free towel replacement on your visit, just ask one of the staff team at the bar area and they will give you a fresh towel. Take your old one back to the locker room, pop it into the laundry bin and pop on your new towel.

Towel replacement is free.

You mention food and drink, do you serve at certain times?

We serve food and drinks from opening to close.

If you visit during the first half hour of opening we offer all members complimentary Tea, Coffee, Cereals & Toast.

Do you have showers?

Yes, we have a shower area where you can get freshened up. Body soap is provided free.

How much do you charge for condoms and lube?

We don’t charge, located in various areas of the complex there are free supplies of both for you to use, as many as you wish.

Do I need the body of a god to go to a Steam?

Definitely not – we cater for all types of guys in an attitude free none judgmental environment.

I’m really really REALLY nervous!

The only barrier to enjoying a visit to Steam for a first time user is probably first time nerves. The thought of entering a sauna for the first time can be very daunting for some people, but once you are inside you will wonder what all the fuss was about.

Steam Sauna has been designed to put you at ease as quick as possible once you join us and you will find this follows through with fellow members who enjoy the relaxing and social feeling of a Steam Complex visit.
A good thing to remember, once inside the Complex, we are all the same – in towels (apart from our Staff Team).

Ok, so when is it busy?

Just like going to your local pub, you cannot say for definite what time or day is going to be the busiest – week in week out each day and time will vary. Some members prefer it to be quiet, others busy busy busy. On various visits you will be able to gauge what day/time suits you.

We do hold monthly events on certain days and these attract likeminded groups to the events – check out our events page on our site for more details, and if one of them suits you then pop along.

What if I want to come but I don’t want to be part of the event?

Not a problem, one of the main plus points of Steam is that we are a large complex and members who do not want to take part in any of the events can simply use the rest of the facilities.

Can I bring a friend along?

Certainly, you are welcome to bring as many friends as you’d like to Steam, Please remember all members must be min age of 18 years old, provided that they meet the necessary requirements for membership and complete the necessary membership application.

What do I do next?

Choose your day and time of visit, grab your ID (if you think there may be a chance we will ask for some) and pop along and enjoy your first visit to Steam Complex!
