    Hi guys. Heard about Helsinki's from a friend. Never been but enjoyed the good reviews. I intend to be there at midday on Saturday. Being naked among guys is what I love. Anything I need to know?

    I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Helsinkis twice now. The first time I was very nervous. I was shown around by the younger guy on reception. Once undressed and naked I wondered into the wet area with my towel around my waist. There were a couple of older guys enjoying each other in the hot tub. Just beyond that are the showers and then the Sauna then the Steam room. I needn’t have worried about being nervous, I was made to feel very welcome straight away. Two guys shuffled over in the sauna to make space for me, and I squeezed in between them. That was the start of a very fun afternoon. It’s true that many of the guys are older men in their 50’s and 60’s, but I love older men, which is good as they seemed to like me. They seemed very happy to include me in the fun they were all having, and rewarded me many times over, by covering me in their appreciation. The second visit was pretty much the same. A very satisfying afternoon each time I visited. Yes it could be a little cleaner and it would be handy if the towels were all different. Not that you need it till you finish at the end, but I took my own towel to clean myself with after I’d finished.

    New to this

    I have never been to a gay sauna before. Love to try. Fancy keeping me company. Rather go with someone. I'll be nervous too.

    Horrid place, only went the once, and thats once too often. Bad attitudes abound and its very expensive for whats on offer, which is very little compared to other places. In future I will drive a little further and visit Chelmsford, a similar price to get in, but a hell of a lot more on offer. Save your money and avoid this place.!!!!!

    Sauna from Hell

    This is an absolutely VILE place that has long since passed it's best. The general staff attitude is, as long as we have your money, you can get stuffed. Very overpriced for what it offers and what you get. It's long overdue for a makeover, in fact it's long overdue for a decent coat of paint, but that seems to have skipped Chris's attention somewhere. The showers are cold and run for about 3 seconds per push, the soap is the cheapest they could find and doesn't even manage a lather.

    Some great times there!

    Friendly place. Could do with a cool private Play room. Recently revamped sauna and jacuzzi. If you are a first timer, you will be treated well - no pressure.

    first visit as a bi curious

    My first visit to a gay sauna, good parking though from the window in the front it seemed to be anything but a gay sauna including sports injuries - anyone passing would think its a health club. Nearly turned round but persevered friendly reception got towel and entered. Its quite small, few there (10:30am) nothing much happening in the communal areas or Jacuzzi so went in the steam room to find a guy laying down... but by this time I was feeling breathless and ill from the steamy (literally) atmosphere and had to get out. Shame we could have had a lot of fun.

    Bi Curious First Visit.

    Alone and nervous but took the courage to go in. - Friendly reception guy - Probably 10 or so guys there - some walking about fully erect and clearly enjoying themselves. - Showers ok and steam room and/hot room small but as one would expect. Friendly atmosphere - was gently handled by a friendly elderly guy which was quite an experience. I think nerves were my main problem . Id go again just to get a better perspective. Definitely needs a cleaner more hygienic "feel" to the place.
