Naked mixed saunas

Well at least if gives the Sun soemthing to write about: Get kit off with the lads!

I don't feel that question even warrants a response.

ditto.

But what was this ...

"There’s even a hot chocolate massage on offer with scented oils"

For Christs sake (and apologies for taking the Christian God's name in vain, feel free to insert the name of any other God to be similary insulted), this is supposed to be a place where "Englands finest" relax, recouperate and prepare for the greatest sporting event in the world, not a bloody kinky sex tour.

Honestly, what sort of hotel is that? And how do you get there?

I can't imagine though that Posh will get her kit off and parade around in front of the other players.

I can't see any of the players other halves stripping off in front of potentially the the whole squad, and especially not in front of Rooney!

What's the betting the hotel make 'Special Arrangements' if the players wives demand them? If they do I'll have to cancel my booking.

It hardly seems worth a story to me! I mean it is pretty bl00dy obvious that you do not wear clothes in a sauna! Or have I been in Germany for too long?

Cleopatra milk and honey bath is lovely

It's not the done thing in UK, Purple Muffin. It's single sex clothing optional or mixed sex clothing compulsory.

Many years ago my German wife went waltzing into a sauna in Alton with just a towel around her shoulders to be met by horrified stares of 3 rather large ladies in swimsuits with their smiling husbands sat next to them.

She got grief off all of the women who could not understand that sweating for half an hour into a swimsuit and then swimming in the same garment is extremely unhyginic.

Naked saunas are one of the unanticipated upsides of life in Germany.

I mean, those opportunities to catch up with the latest fashions in pubic topiary, tattoos and piercings

And Muffin... I think you have answered your own question with a resounding YES

I only go for the health benefits!!!

At least thats what you tell mrs maaph!

Ha I am pretty sure I have never been into a sauna in the UK! Actually the first time I went into a sauna was with a German boyfriend. While we were in there he bumped into somebody who he introduced to me as Heike and proceeded to chat away for her for a few minutes. After she left he said 'oh she is one of the secretaries from work' I must admit I did find it a little odd!!

Nowt wrong with naked mixed saunas if you ask me. Done it a number of times both in Germany and in the UK. I for one would rather share a sauna or steam room with a bunch of people of both sexes, rather than a sauna/steam room full of just guys. Clothed or unclothed.


Allthough not really the done thing in the UK, there are some travelling(i.e. not permanent) saunas available shared by both sexes where pretty much everyone goes naked. Pretty much a 50/50 balance of the sexes too. These saunas can be found at some UK music festivals such as Glastonbury, Sunrise Celebration, Bestival, and various others. They are very good.

Depends on the company. Sometimes it can be bad and sometimes it can be very hard.

Not keen myself. Last time I went in one a particular guy kept staring at me and then staring down at his erection. Yeuch.

Next time that happens you should get up and complain to the attendant. I can't imagine anyone putting up with that shit.

Most saunas have a Frauentag or two a week, btw.

I simply left the sauna, but felt too embarrassed to complain. I also figured that men can't really help whether they get hard or not - although the leering was totally unecessary.

One can try to think of carcinomas and arithmetics, but this method is not very reliable.

Why did you ask that? I think you know diffrent something. my answer is for this questions that of course good and healty.

A man can't control whether he gets hard or not? In a sauna? I doubt that very much. He was a perv, and it's too bad you didn't point him out to them so they could ban him.

You obviously go to the wrong saunas or need the help of a little blue pill.

BTW, I wholly doubt the guy was looking at the resident AW.

So what do you consider to be the right saunas? Where all the women are beautiful? I've been in many saunas where beautiful women are sitting and walking around, and the men aren't staring at them and getting hard-ons. Get real.

I read the title as "naked mixed sausages"

We go sometimes to the Irish/Roman bath in Baden-Baden, which is a big naked mixed sauna and pool extravaganza. The first few times I was much too shy to even look up from my feet or the ceiling to notice whether there were other people in there with me, but now it's always interesting to see the penises (peni?) bopping cheerfully along as men walk purposefully from pool to pool. I try not to be too obvious, of course.

I think it's normal, healthy and natural to look at each other from top to bottom, nude or not. It gets to be a problem, though, when creeps use the sauna to leer as did happen to the OP.

I am not a Latin expert (much less a penises one) but peni is wrong.
Use Penises in English or Penes in Latin.
But above all, use them properly.

I will do my utmost. Thank you, Professor.

'kinell! You're right. I went into the mixed sauna at Glastonbury '84. I think it was good. It's all a bit hazy now. Must have been the trip I was on when I went in.

Whenever I come home from work with a stiff neck or an aching back my missus (German) always says, "Why don't you go to the sauna?" and off I go. However, there's one thing sitting naked in a mixed sauna and a completely different thing sitting in a mixed sauna with Toytowners. I don't think I could do the latter.

Check the OP and you will find that there was most likely a misdiagnoses. Always get a second opinion.

Since we are already properly using penises and penes, please make proper use of misdiagnosis.
In any case, your diagnosis was very accurate indeed.

Fuck me, I trusted the Firefox spell checker.

heh - thanks

was referring to Bella1971's experience

do you think it's normal for guys to go around with hard-ons in saunas? have you ever seen that?

*cough**cough**cough* yes...if they have pretty naked women around them
p.s. I was in a naked sauna once in my life but could never take my towel off.
p.p.s I happen to spot my boss at the time at that sauna, but I don't think he saw me, and he was naked.

Medically speaking, I think it is abnormal (and thus extremely difficult) not to have a hard-on when surrounded by naked ladies. It is all a matter of training yourself not to constantly think of sex. If you haven't grown up doing that, then it is much more difficult.

Did you have a hard on? Did the man in the boat stand up and hollar?

Hummm I don't have a penis, the last time I checked I was a woman.

something stuck in your throat?

Never seen any guys with stiff ones or poking from behind towels in 10 years of going to mixed sauna.

Well I lay once naked in the FKK area of Chiemsee and I noticed more women staring at mine while I attempted to pretend to try not to look at the awesome women floating by.

A few nights ago Carry on Camping was on the telly If you wre brought up with the cackle of Sid James as many of us Brits were then for us naked bodies, especially attractive women's bodies is admittedly quite exciting.

Hmmm, I will have to check that now won't I?


Hmmm, me thinks you were checking to much.

As my Company Commander used to say, "You either lick the pole or lick the hole". Don't know if it fits here or not, but it was a cool saying he had. Found out that a few black guys in our company had never licked a hole and definitely didn't dig the pole. Never did understand that cause I am a hole addict. Can't go into a sauna without wondering. Kind of like going to an auction and having the constant itch on your head that you have to raise your hand up to scratch.

I, too, have never seen a stiffy in a sauna environment including steam bath and tepidarium (the dry, hot room). But I unashamedly eye others, male and female, and never lose my sense of wonder at the diversity of the human body. Once I had a fit of giggles, once I saw a guy I immediately christened The Panda coz his chest-hair was so white and furry, once I saw a guy with a pubic triangle on his back as well. And there was the time I stalked out of the sauna leaving the door open after a group of Austrians overstepped the bounderies of banter. Austrians and saunas don't mix. In general though, mixed naked saunas are a Good Thing.

I attended one a while back but felt uncomfortable because this woman kept leering at my erection

Could have written that myself.

It's the same thing for nudist beaches. The atmosphere is relaxed, people are out there for some sun and sea and anyone even remotely suspected of being a perv is turfed out right away. At least that's the way it was at the beach in Vancouver I went to for a while.


This is one of the reasons I like Germany: their attitude toward nudity is so much healthier than ours, where everyone must cover up from the age of two and nothing must show and god forbid you should be seen naked by anyone of the opposite sex outside a hospital. There was even a religious campaign against Wreck Beach in Vancouver when I lived there. Bloody nuisance more than anything.

Yeah me neither and doesn't the extreme heat impede that kind of "reaction" anyway?

That being said, I bet if I took some of my Canadian friends to a naked sauna, they'd be sporting them due to the sheer novelty of seeing a naked woman. For the rest of us a naked body is not automatically a sexualised, you can make it that way but only if you want to. This is the big difference between (mainland) Europe and North America. In NA a neaked body = sex, here a naked body = a naked body, nothing more.

Much healthier in my opinion.

glad you said that, the first date you asked me to was a mixed sauna
Edit: also we arranged a sauna trip 18 months ago (may be longer) and we got one person who turned up, every one else chickened out

I've told this story before but it's such a perfect illustrations of cultural differences regarding nudity that I'll tell it again.

Being German, my family and I have always seen nudity as natural, walking around nude in front of eachother has never been an issue for us which never ceases to horrify my Canadian friends when I tell them this. So one day in high school a female friend of mine tells me that she accidently saw her dad naked in the shower and then blushingly admits that her father has quite a large penis.

I've seen my father naked plenty of times and to this day I couldn't tell you what his penis looks like, whether it's large, small, purple, brown or whatever, I've never even considered paying attention to that area. He's just not a sexual object to me therefore I do not and can not view him sexually. It's never crossed my mind to look.

Must have been you, Scogs. My sauna event was pretty popular (and my finest ever thread title, still kept as a sub-title).
Went to some lovely ones last week in Slovenia, which reminded me that I should go more often. To the sauna, I mean (but Slovenia too as it was beautiful).

When my daughter was around 2 she got up in the middle of the night needing the toilet. My wife won the 'pretending to be still asleep' competition that night so I had to get up and take her to the bathroom. I sleep sans pyjamas. As she is sitting there and I am standing there she looks me up and down and eventually says "you've got a big sausage on you're bottom".

I believe it was a trick of perspective.

...and she's now mentally scarred for life...

don't blame me sarabyrd was doing the organising and yours was not a mixed sauna it was womens only

Soyou're saying it's only the black guys in your company who haven't indulged in cunnilingus? How strange.
