EPTI wouldn't go to a sauna because I want to see some exposed meat. Usually, you only see old womens hanging boobs and old mens hanging balls in there. Hot girls won't go into a sauna.

No worries if you think you look bad naked (too fat or something), nobody cares :D | ||

Having done saunas in Asia (China, Taiwan) there is not the same sauna etiquette. The "Dont stare" rule is rather universal, but the sauna's are generally in the men's or women's area so they are separated into different rooms completely. As for the nakedness, everyone is generally naked all the time all around the locker room/pool room/sauna/steam bath. Not too much of a fan of that, as I didn't need to see so many naked asian men. Seems like the sauna is a nice place to socialize in Germany. | ||

No love for bush on this side of the Atlantic. I can confirm that. But oh so different on the male side. My only time going to a sauna was in Korea, so I can't add soemthing to the German Way of Saunaing. It's really weird, that nudity is totally ok in some enviroments and in another situation the same person comes across a bit prude. | ||

One thing to note though: when I go to Germany, I notice that guys nearly dont check girls out (its a no match versus guys in Paris..). So, my guess is: people in Germany are used to nudity. So, they dont stare. So its ok to have mixed gender saunas. So, they're used to nudity.. and so on... And, in other countries (like France), people dont like nudity so much. So, guys dont see so many naked girls. So, they stare.. and so on... I wish the situation could be similar in France. People wouldn't mind so much when my friends and I go swimming naked in the Seine... | ||

Or you've been conditioned from childhood to see nudity as shameful and taboo, yet marketable and tantalizing at the same time. You get pretty mind fucked about sex and nudity (almost zero nonsexual nudity here) if you grow up in America. Women can't even breast feed in public without people getting scandalized. | ||

about 6 years ago was in Frankfurt for a telecommunications gov't conference and I love going to the sauna,I mean in Korea I go like 3 times a week and I have no problem being naked whatsoever. So I think it was the Hyatt, and so I go down to check out the German sauna, so excited and the lady at the sign in of the pool where the sauna says to me, 'no clothes' for the sauna, and I'm like, no worries, what's the big deal. So I walk to where the sauna is and I'm gonna take off my towel and I see a couple of women naked in the sauna, so I am completely embarrassed and I quickly reverse and check this sign and back track a few steps and look for another entrance. But I can't find one, so I go back to the lady at the front and ask her, where is the sauna, and she points to the door and she says 'in there at the back' and I'm like, 'ok, thanks' so I go back to that sauna and there ain't nothing there except for that one with the naked women, so I go back to the lady and say, 'there is only one sauna there and there are women there' and she says and looks at me in a kinda shocked way, 'of course, its for both men and women'. And I'm completely dumbfounded. Ok, it was first time in Germany, only been in France before then and no I didn't read up anything about Germany before I went there. So I'm like, OK, well this is culturally normal, and I love the sauna, so no problems. So I turn around, and walk towards the sauna and as I get closer, I notice there are about 5 people, 3 women and 2 men, but as I get closer, I'm like, there is NO WAY I CAN GO THROUGH WITH THIS. And I run away like a little girl back to the front desk and ask for Swedish massage instead. But get this, the guys on the trip knew about the mixed gender saunas so they asked me afterwards, how was it and started laughing right away when I started to tell the story. Freaking Korean guys. lol. | ||

 Ionno about others, I haven't been to sauna's often, only once or twice in America, but I guess people just wrap up in their towels as if they came out of a shower, just to cover up the "indecent" areas but sit in the sauna that way, I'm not sure if thats common or not or if usually people yank the twoels off and start meat spinning or some shit | ||
