Naked woman in sauna

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?

Going to have to run - but finding 'prudery' in other cultures hilarious and claiming 'uptightness' makes a culture unpleasant is just plain rude. I'm not going to join you in sweeping generalisations by laying the blame at your German citizenship - I'm pretty sure it's just a failing on your part Smile

I don't think I have ever seen a cock that would actually drape.......

MistressoftheYoniverse · 20/11/2015 17:52

They are looking Arch it just gets less interesting after a while but I bet an exceptional pair would be looked at..same as giant penis or really hairy guy etc..

Bertrand, we are not talking ankle-length here, tastefully arranged like a hosepipe in a Chelsea flower display. We are talking about flinging a larger than average cock onto the upper thigh in a manner that makes it clear it can actually reach that far. Then leaning back and making sure everyone has got the point.

ThoughtfulBird · 20/11/2015 18:13

I've had seen a cock that draped and it belonged to a young man called Stacey

CruCru · 20/11/2015 18:13

I'm going to check out Tchibo.

I do have a sauna and a steam room but as they are in my house, I don't mind going in naked. I wouldn't go in naked if I was going to a public one in the UK.

MistressoftheYoniverse · 20/11/2015 18:13

Toweling swimsuits it is!!I think they would be quite cute Grin

MistressoftheYoniverse · 20/11/2015 18:17

ThoughtfulI suppose he could have been a Kelly or Evelyn ...I knew a Stacey once never saw his giblets tho...

ThoughtfulBird · 20/11/2015 18:18

Nice stealth boast, CruCru!

Well she deliberately broke the rules so she was unreasonable. I do wonder though how we British ended up so prudish about nudity? It does kind of set us apart from other European countries

SirChenjin · 20/11/2015 18:48

You could wonder how other European countries developed any of their tenancies.

I've never seen a cock so large that it draped over a thigh - I feel as though I've missed out. I'm obviously going to the wrong saunas (or the right ones, depending on your viewpoint )

OnceAMeerNotAlwaysAMeer · 20/11/2015 19:04

And lets face it, as a whole, we Brits tend to be slightly more modest than other European countries

Oh give over. Ever been to newcastle on a Friday or saturday evening? the lack of clothing is beyond words. In sunderland people have been arrested for openly copulating on the main streets. Directly on the road even - and I suspect Im the only one worried about the safety aspect there.

Most european countries have far lower rates of teen pregnancy.

in the north of europe ime the people are way, way, infinitely more genuinely modest and a very great deal less sexualized about nudity.

Sallyingforth · 20/11/2015 19:15

Well said Once

ThoughtfulBird · 20/11/2015 19:26

^^What Once said. Why do people keep trotting out this trope that Britain is a pack of frigid plebs?

itsbetterthanabox · 20/11/2015 19:39

Why would the sauna not work if you weren't naked? What's it supposed to do?
She was being U. If that's the rules and it's mixed sex which clearly caused the male users some awkwardness then she should have put clothes on.
In other countries enforced nudity is weirder! What difference does it make if some people choose to wear swimsuits?

Are there stats on teenage conceptions by country? Because I work in this area and struggle to find them

ThoughtfulBird · 20/11/2015 20:02

Yes there are. We have the highest.

StealthPolarBear · 20/11/2015 20:05

Really. I'd love to see them. There's nothing on euros tat as far as I'm aware. We're always looking g for interational comparators

StealthPolarBear · 20/11/2015 20:10

Though that said I can never find a damn thing on eurostat

OnceAMeerNotAlwaysAMeer · 20/11/2015 20:16

stealthpolarbear the results are pretty easy to find. Put in 'rate of teen pregnancies by country i the EU'

result international-comparisons-of-teenage-pregnancy

Surely it's the getting extremely pissed culture of teenagers in the UK responsible for this rather than 'the north of europe ime the people are way, way, infinitely more genuinely modest and a very great deal less sexualized about nudity.'

surely? why?

the drink culture has a lot to do with it, maybe. But there seems to be a higher rate of sexual activity and less contraception in the UK in teens. Plus ... do try going to europe and seeing how women / men dress compared to in the UK. it's a lot less on show. When you go to a sauna, in the end you go there for a purpose; for the heat/cold cycle. It's less than perfect but the actual, pragmatic results of less on show outside the sauna + less pregs seem to be pretty conclusive.

If im wrong, im willing to learn. But so far (so far) the evidence seems pretty clear.

Gwenhwyfar · 20/11/2015 20:16

"everywhere else in Europe does this"

It's not though. It's not even naked everywhere in Scandinavia. A German friend had quite a reaction when he walked naked into a sauna in Norway. The elderly ladies in the sauna were in swimming costume. In plenty of countries outside Germany and the Nordic countries, mixed saunas are in swimming costume or at least covered by a towel and only single sex saunas are naked.
