I think saunas tend to be more about the heat, even though they have humidity too. (If you pour water over the hot rocks.)
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, it's possible I like saunas all the time. It's a dry heat!
-t, the steam room is full of steam. The sauna you just pour some water over the heating thing. And you sit on wood, usually.
Note to self: Go to Russian-Turkish baths for sauna. They have this awesome rock room with ice cold water to pour over yourself, so you can stay in there a long time.

We got lots of easy access to heat and humidity here in the Midwest. Just gotta go outside.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I've only done saunas, then, but I do the water pouring thing with pretty high frequency.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can get dry heat in a sauna, you can't in the steam room.
I like them both, but I'm a fan of sweating, and sometimes I'm just too lazy to raise my heartrate to do so.
Mostly I stick to the hot tub.

Round here lately, I just go outside.
Really, though, they only hold appeal to me in the winter when I'm in a near constant state of chilled-to-the-bone or I've got some nasty head-invading disease.

I *love* that room. You can also pay an elderly Russian woman to beat you with oak leaves while you're in there.

Of course, sitting here in my icy office makes the sauna sound much more inviting than it would outside. I think the perfect time to go to the baths is when it's like 65-70 outside, so you appreciate the hot inside, but can still hang out outside.
