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?

Oh that's births not conceptions. Slightly different but crucial

not so crucial that it invalidates the point. The UK has the highest rate of teen pregs and teen births in the EU

data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.ADO.TFRT

Fair enough. It isn't only conceptions that affects teenage births.
I am splitting hairs on this great, I was excited as I thought I'd found the holy grail
(Melodrama intended)

ok so i misunderstood that :P hope you still get the point. Hard to worry about mostly-pragmatic nudity really, when the teen preg rates and sexualization rates are so high

why not enjoy the damn sauna? (within local regulations)

A sauna would be my idea of hell, naked,, clothed or anywhere in between.
I don't really like heat. Or cold.

Only just found this thread, but in answer to a question on first page:

My DP is German and his parents ran saunas (big fancy places with swimming pools etc, very seventies!) and he met one of his teachers, naked, at his parents' sauna.

itsmine, the thread took a slight derail a page or so back

Meh, this is why towels were invented.

Oh no, wait, towels were invented to dry yourself, but they do come in handy in these situations.

I was in a sauna in Switzerland with a 13yo who was told off for wearing a swimming costume by another sauneree. Lully she was a very confident 13yo and was able to hold her own by saying "my mother says I must always wear a costume in a public sauna" Her mother is Finish and had her own sauna complete with birch twigs of whatever, so who was I to argue.

Anyway go baked, but at least use a towel.

I was in a sauna once in Switzerland, then the Maldives, followed by Venice and Fiji, before travelling home, First Class on Concorde (with my cosmopolitan international friends in tow, naked) and having my own bespoke sauna built in the grounds of my £5m house.

Do I win?

Only £5m?

I'm embarrassed for you tbh.

Well she called it a house, actually it's the weekend cottage.

Ahh, that's makes sense now. I just couldn't see why anyone would admit to having such a cheap house, but a weekend cottage at that price sounds reasonable.

Bird, I hope they put towels down before parking their bottoms on the leather seats on the private jet. Hygiene n that.

Saunas? I can't think of anything worse!

I would chew my leg off than submit myself to that torture.

I can't think of anything more mind numbingly boring!

You could always pass the time by looking at the draped cocks like Boffin does

It wouldn't bother me at all.

The fact that she'd stuck 2 fingers up at the rules and continued to do so even after they'd been pointed out to her wouldn't bother you? Or the fact that other people felt too uncomfortable to use the sauna and she still didn't care?

My experience of German saunas is yes be naked, but have a towel to sit on. Sweating into the wood is yucky and frowned upon.

You want to try being in the former East Germany in the summer. There are naked bodies EVERYWHERE. You get used to it (but not so much that I felt the need to get naked too ). FKK is alive and well among the pensioner age group...

What is FKK - dare I ask? !

FKK is Freikörperkultur - free (of clothing) body culture. I'm not a fan myself (I am German), but swimsuits in the sauna? Yuck. I love sauna. It's a shame, but there is no way I'm using a sauna in this country. One of the things I really miss.

To Barbara- about the question of bumping into people in a sauna when abroad. Last year when on holiday and in a local spa (where everyone is naked), I bumped into the country's former Prime Minister. Just had a polite greeting and carried on.

SirChenjin: I would not be bothered by a naked woman, no. I prefer to remain clothed myself, but if someone else is naked, well, I can just look away.

Though I would probably not go into a sauna where lots of men sit naked. Male genitals are not that aesthetic.

The British are weird re. their bodies.
Dowser, re. saunas being "boring" - do you not have interesting enough thoughts to entertain yourself for an hour?

No Vestal, not just a naked body. A naked body in a sauna which was specifically not a nude sauna, despite other people explaining that it wasn't a nude sauna, and that caused other people to feel so uncomfortable that they didn't go into the sauna. It's not up to the people abiding by the rules to look away, it's up to her to abide by the rules and cover up - or not use the sauna.

Irrespective of whether the British are 'weird' about their bodies, the fact is she ignored the rules of the sauna - and as other people have already explained, non-nude saunas are not just limited to the UK.
