Doesn’t bother me as long as they don’t start eating their pubes.
I don’t see it as much of an issue if they’re in a gender specific sauna…as long as they keep their legs closed. Exposed beef curtains tend to make some people uncomfortable.
Beef curtains – bahawhawhaw – good one, PK.
I wish I could take credit for that one 😉
Saunas are great. However, if you use a sauna, public or not, you’ve gotta deal with nudity. That’s kind of the deal.
So long as she doesn’t look like Rita McNeil, bring on the nudity!!!
What if she looks like half a Rita McNeil, Guyute *eyeroll*
in my opinion, some people are a little too comfortable with their bodies in public sauna’s.
I avoid the sauna unless I need to dry off from the shower and am pressed for time. Keeps the geezers from talking to me about “the weather” and/or “how they’re keeping their money out of the banks because of the economy” while they sweat through their second hour in there.
I agree with th e OP. There are just some times you should bend over in public. The sauna isn’t the place to do this. I recently had an old man lay down in the sauna and open his legs at me…..sorry I am still having bad dreams and can’t keep my food down. Just so very very wrong!
ahhhh, geriatric basic instinct starin’ ya right in the face there….. good only for times when you need to diet.
Don’t be surprised to find your shyness the ultimate amusement for the average European. In fact, OP, NEVER leave the continent lest your poor eyes suffer the flesh of average men and women comfortable in their skin.
(poor poor Kitty)
I visited a posh hotel in Germany once where suites and towels were prohibited in the ‘public’ spa. We’re very backward and conservative here in the America’s.
Ewww, SWASS!
I think it’s nasty. We all have to share those public areas an dno one wants to see naked people strutting their stuff.
Jesus people, it’s just a body. Everyone has genitals. You people are too uptight. Unless someone is rubbing their beef curtains against your leg, I don’t see the problem. I’m sure they didn’t mean to flash you, be mature enough to not make it a into big deal.
Kay’s actually right. In Europe there are naked spas where entire families will go for “family events.” I visited one once and this poor kid, maybe 14 or 15 got an erection (not willingly) in front of everyone (and his family -shudder-) and ended up turning beet red crying. I felt so bad for the kid.
Todd, would you be for throwing away the entire bag of public nudity laws then? Since we all have em, why not just let it all hang out whenever and wherever you like?
We all have to piss and shit, public indecency laws should go too. It’s nature after all….
I think you’re describing a troop of monkeys and we’ve come a long way since then.
fyi, kay only seems accurate because she’s stating fact rather than her opinion.
Hahaha. No, zZz I didn’t intend to describe a troop of monkeys, although I think we resemble them more than you’d think.
What I’m saying is this. If you’re planning on going to a public sauna, be prepared for the occasional ACCIDENTAL flash. It’s a sauna for Christs sake. If you’re doing to go apeshit every time you catch a glimpse, don’t go in the fucking sauna!
And Jesus, I dislike kay’s opinions just as much as the next guy, but rip on her when you disagree with her, don’t smear everything she says just because she said it.
