American sauna

Idk if this is bait or not, so whatever.

Just do you man, as long as you're not explicitly showing off your body just for the sole purpose of showing off your body, who gives a fuck.

People in saunas shouldn't be fully-clothed, if at all.

you are not being memed, just not the same as in other coutnries
i know in russia along with many other european countries saunas are normal and most sit naked, but in american gyms it is really for people who want a sweat after their workout.
its not wrong to be in trunks and sandals, but for those who only do it clothed and are sheltered americans they may just feel uncomfortable

You're not fit enough to pull it off
Put your clothes back on, no one wants to see a sweaty fat guy

It's normal to be naked in saunas in the US. I put a towel down on the bench and chill.

No one gives a fuck and it's a great way to relax.

I go there just for the muscle relaxation and refreshing the body skin. Just sit in the corner, don't even move much.

Isn't cardio would be better for them? Sweat in sauna mixing with skin's internal dirt so good luck having this shit sticking on you and your clothes after a sauna.

Oh well, I don't care about their opinion. Just wandered if that's something normal here or I met the wrong folks

I would totally understand people's reaction if I be a fat gross dude. I'm kinda average looking dyel.

Not sure about the United states. in canada, everybody who uses saunas does so with no clothing. I'm honestly not sure what the point of wearing any clothes into the sauna would be, unless you are self conscious about your body

Finnish fag here, let me educate on how to properly perform The Sauna ritual. First of all, you DO NOT go to a sauna with clothes on. It's a place where you go naked to sweat and enjoy yourself. Enough water must be thrown to the heater? to make air in the sauna nice and humid and also hot enough to call it a sauna (min. 70°C / 160°F). A proper sauna is enjoyed with friends at some remote cottage with some friends and beer, not after a gym session. Also it's perferrable to have the heat at 80-120°C or 180-220°F. Running outside and rolling around in the snow also highly recommended.

I know, and I used to do that back in my homecountry. Dipping into frozen water after the sauna is so great.
But I live in Texas now and there are no normal saunas around, only at gyms or faggy SPA complexes.

"Murican here-- My small gym has a sauna, but it's gender-divided and because of that no one wears clothes.

Honestly that seems really crazy weird. Why ruin clothing with sweat? Whatever. Just get a mankini and enjoy the relaxation.

We have Korean spas that are kind of like what the fins have, but no snow where I live. :(
Just seems really weird that anyone

wtf no
at my gym here in the states, if you go in with anything more than a towel and flipflops you'll get weird stares
