Nothing help do away with your insecurities about your body image than sweating profusely with your junk out in a room filled with other nude people sweating profusely. It's a great equalizer.

Fair enough, I probably reacted a bit harsh as I took it at face value at first and have heard the argument before from people who are oblivious to how complex body image can be.

And I agree that there probably would be better ways to do it in an ideal world where nudity wouldn't be as delicate and as polized and there'd be less of a power difference in these spaces. But as it is now, I love going to the sauna with my partner, but don't feel safe if I have to do it with strangers.

Yeah that's cool. Glad we can agree that saunas are nice.

They are the best, waiting for our weekly sauna turn in about an hour actually.

I do love the Soviet block apartment building sauna reservation system where everyone gets to do sauna without owning one themselves.
