Naked woman in sauna

[DyslexicScientist]

This just happened, local leisure center a young woman walked into the sauna naked. Someone else immediatly said to her "you can't be in here like that love, its not allowed". She replied I'm German, this is sauna, does this offend you?. The other woman said no, but it is the rules. The naked woman then went on about how she always does it, sauna doesn't work unless your naked and everywhere else in Europe does this.

Some young men opened the sauna door, and closed it immediately when they saw her. She laughed and said back " its OK you can come in". She clearly heard people telling her it wasn't allowed and was enjoying the attention she got.

I kind of see her point about prefering to be naked, but there are rules in place and she was obviously making other people uncomfortable.

Was I bu to tell reception on the way out?

I see our attitude as normal.

It's normal to me anyway.
In fact, I'm glad I don't live in a country where I would have to look at sweaty, naked hairy bollocks (and other sights), down the local pool or gym on a regular basis.
I'm more than comfortable with nudity in my home, but prefer to have some clothing on when in public amongst strangers.
And if people want to shout ''You're a prude?'' Let them!

I think it's the height of rudeness to live in a country and then mock and make fun of their traditions.
And lets face it, as a whole, we Brits tend to be slightly more modest than other European countries. It's neither wrong nor right. It's just who we are and how things are done here.
Want to live here? Great! But respect our ways and rules, even if it isn't ''how it's done on the Continent'' looking at you nekkid German Sauna Woman

Don't like it? Don't live here.
Simples.

I like house semi-nakedness...now that I can do! obs if we visitors wouldn't want to put an eye out

We used to go to a hotel in Switzerland with a sauna and we're most upset one year when they introduced a rule about only naked sauna-ing. But the following year they came up with a really good compromise, by giving everyone a thin cotton wrap (more like a non see through chest to knee sarong than a towel) to wear, so if you were careful with chest straps no one knew who was naked and who wasn't anyway. Suited everyone I think.

The previous year we just waited til they were empty and went in, before scarpering when anyone joined us.

It is the recoiling horror at the human form to which I am objecting. Similar to the revulsion at women in changing-rooms who have the effrontery to dry themselves properly.

Object away - it is your right. It is the right of others to feel uncomfortable, or that they want to leave the changing rooms, or whatever, at the sight of naked, swinging bollocks or fanjos being dried inches from their face.

However, leaving that to one side though - rules are rules.

I am getting all nostalgic now. I am posting nekkid here, with a fan heater blowing at my flappage.

The funny thing about Germans is that in the sauna they happily cavort naked, yet when going outside between about November and April they have 365 layers of Tchibo undergarments and overgarments on, so no centimetre of skin is exposed. Even if there is no snow. In fact everyone seems to possess full snow gear, full rain gear and even occasionally wind gear. They look askance at how the British dress their children and consider it neglectful.

Two further important points to make on this topic before I actually do some work.

1. I do find it unsettling when men in the sauna have massive cocks draped strategically over their thighs. I only ever went out with one person who had a massive cock and to be honest I find them a bit intimidating. There, I have said it. I am happier with medium sized cocks with a bit of girth.

1. With regard to farts, oddly enough I don't think they circulate. Perhaps it has something to do with the essential oils that sometimes go on during the Aufguss.

Well who else am I going to share such information with? And there was a direct question about the psychological impact of seeing people's private parts in the sauna.

This thread has given me more mental images I cannot unsee than a sauna full of exhibitionist Germans would

grisclair: "I'm German and feel really uncomfortable in German / continental saunas, especially on mixed days. Statements like "people don't care what you look like, nothing sexual about it" are to be taken with a grain of salt in my experience. Friends and I have definitely experienced especially older men staring. I also happen to know a group of men (most of them lawyers and judges) who go to the sauna together once a fortnight and have actually admitted that they don't go just for the relaxation aspect of it. All very off-putting. Certainly no more mixed public saunas for me, thanks. "

Exactly. Also ties in with another poster who said there are many 40 year old women but not many 21 year olds. You know if you are being perved over. I am guessing most of the naked bodies on show would tend to be ones you don't particularly want to pore over anyway.

I'm far too British for that nonsense, I'd have kept my coat on.

Boffin thanks for the Parp Protocol update

The sink-fanjo moment must have felt like when the Ancient Britons found out the Vikings combed their hair every week. A hygiene step too far.

Mistress I will try a sneaky one next time I am in the sauna and report back.

Boffin - to be fair, the Ancient Britons were probably more concerned with saving their villages from being burned to the ground, throats from being cut and saving their maidens's virtues than with how often the Vikings combed their hair

You have a lovely turn of phrase.

I do find it unsettling when men in the sauna have massive cocks draped strategically over their thighs

Well as I understand it, after the initial pillaging phase, the womenfolk started to fancy the Vikings as they did all the hair combing and weekly bathing and so on, and they preferred that to a bit of matted hair and rancid woad.

Personally speaking if a nice, freshly bathed, unarmed Norseman poked his head around the door of my hut I would certainly appraise the potential.

Fair point Boffin - and judging by my tall, blonde, blue eyed offspring, it appears that great, great etc granny Chenjin might have felt the same way.

Boffin I await your return

Just one final point though. I thought there was nothing sexual about saunas? In which case, would you like to clarify where you were looking in order to notice the length and position of the cocks in question?
