It can be a shock to the system. The first weekend I went to stay with my German girlfriend (now wife), I met her dad starkers in the corridor.

I have a very vivid imagination; due in no small part to you. ;-)

Apparently there was a group of single lads (in the same branch as me) based in Germany who regularly used to visit a swingers’ club. There was more than one that told me about it, so I believe it to be true. That kind of thing isn’t for me and nor are one night stands; I would want some kind of emotional connection rather than just a physical activity.

There’s no ‘coming on’ to people inside the saunas at the Therme I go to; there are signs saying that it is a quiet zone. Occasionally, you might get a chat going if the others don’t object; but one of few occasions that has happened it was about plans to move the sauna across the road from the main complex.

I was out last night and we got about 20 meters in before we met our first friends. But that’s what it is all about. No storms last night and the weather was beautiful after a grey and wet start.

Some bright spark has named their company after the expression budgie smugglers.

Each to their own .
You are never never coarse or vulgar but very cheeky though
especially with me and of course Ive forgotten the moments I’ve
ever been cheeky with you..selective memory is a wonderous think
and can get you out of a heap of trouble, especially when smiling
sweetly :-)

No I dont suppose saunas are that erotic..true eroticism leaves
something for the imagination..such as what a dashing chap would
look like ln cycling shorts or riding trousers, now they leave nothing to the imagination -ladies should’nt dwell on that which would upset
the equilibrium..but emmm, oh sorry.

Gentleman in ages past spent a lot of time sitting down as to
‘not disgrace himself in public’ as they said to smiling pink
cheeked ladies .

I wouldn’t want to share someone special around either and that
would certainly include what was it ‘swingers party’ I cannot find
the words to say what I think of those.
I assume your friends are pulling your leg and that you’d never ?

Assume you’ve got your event in town again this evening, have
fun, and i hope you dont have another storm..we’ve got one
brewing .. I take photos of storms
Take care xx

It was the fact that she was attractive that prompted the comment, so very relevant to the story. I found his titillation funny. That was way back in the past, though.

They do segregate on certain days, but much of the time it’s mixed.

Sometimes I am careful about putting my response out there. Cheeky but not coarse. It’s a sauna and about as far from being erotic as you can get. It isn’t how I imagine a swingers club to be! Going from what friends have told me. ;-) No, I wouldn’t want to share someone special around. But, I have no problems being naked in a sauna with them and others. Why would I? It’s very egalitarian in there.

Shorts, but no budgie smugglers then? :-D

Indeed nakedness is natural and intimate.

Noticed your typically male senario involves an “very attractive young woman” and not the 70 year old man/woman both
not a “very attractive young woman or indeed very attractive young
man.

Mixed saunas too, thats even worse

The “towel & flannel remark was my sense of humor
I think you dont understand that quite often:)
I will catagorically assure you that I’d be utterly mortified and
insulted if you gave me the measurements of your private
bits. Hope you realise the lady of the lake is humor too :)

Why would strangers seeing me naked make climbing into
bed with that someone special, more special ?

I’d hope he’d not want others seeing my breasts or derriere
and that they are for his eyes only. Whether it be them naked or
wearing a thin layer of something sensual that those little
people in the sauna wouldnt see.

You can be naked as much as you like darling its your right, but its my right
not to see others naked and likewise.

Nakedness is very natural.

This article reminds me of being in a sauna and a friend, who I shall call G, who spots a very attractive young woman and whispers: “She’s naked!” He just couldn’t believe his eyes. My final response being a blasé: “So are we G!” Look, but don’t stare. It is quite refreshing chatting to someone of the opposite sex in the sauna: it’s not like you have to imagine them naked! :-D

Personally, I have a sauna towel long enough to lie down on; but that doesn’t answer your question. Does it matter? I have enough to keep me happy.. :-D The majority wear bathrobes between saunas.

If you are comfortable being naked amongst strangers why wouldn’t it enhance the relationship between you and the special person in your life? Makes the fact that they are one climbing into bed with you special.

Heidelberg is in Baden-Württemberg and is a beautiful town.
