Why don't European revive the Roman baths? It's one

Health clubs a lot of the times have pools like this that their members can use. Mine did but I never used it. Who wants to be in water with a bunch of gross old people?

For everyday bathing people obviously can do it at home now and if people just want to go swimming its more popular now to just wait until summer and go outside at a beach or lake

>>72437765
So you don't feel lonely taking your bath alone?

>>72437640
Looks like a regular swimming pool to me. Except they forgot their swimming pants.

public baths just turn into gay sex orgies. not even memeing this is the truth.

>>72437902
wtf I LOVE bath houses now!

anyway, you can't even dip your toe into the pools of Bath's old roman baths, so what's the point really

>>72437967
during Turkish times I suppose that was their real purpose, now they mainly host tourists, young couples and older people with ailments such as rheuma

Ex-Ottoman countries have hamam and I've heard they're still enjoying them.

we would, if there weren't so many turkish tourists in them all the time

Roman? They were popular until Renaissance times

>>72438219
well they were discovered exactly because the city was building an overpass there leading up to a bridge. since it was in communist times and there could be no delays the archeologists excavated as much of the ruins as they could and then the planning committee altered the designs a bit so that the damage done to the baths would be as little as possible

>>72438263

Seriously I did not know that...

But I thought Medival Europeans never bathed?

Are you saying you want to bathe with other men? I thought that happened in Japanese cities because inexpensive Japanese apartments might not have their own bath.

>>72438302
>muh dark ages

>>72438451
Almost every apartment has its own bath. Not a very big one, but still.

Public bath is also a social thing, no homo

>>72438302
One of those Medieval myth things.
Like the idea that plate armor was immensely heavy. Or that they thought the Earth was flat.

>>72438518
That is it true that americans are afraid sitting naked in the sauna, and they prefer to overheat their junk with towel closed tight around their waist??

>>72438302
Public baths were pretty common in Europe but many fell into disuse when the black death and other plagues spread to Europe and people stopped going because they were worried about the spread of disease there.

I've heard "no homo" used to defend some pretty homo shit.

Buncha naked men together when they're could do the same thing at home instead without being in the presence of naked penis is pretty high on the homo scale.

>>72438649
Are you suggesting that a towel is overheating people? If anything it's the very hot and humid room they are in. And in America saying "the sauna" is slang in the gay community for a bathhouse where men have sex with eachother.

So, just like japan, a bathhouse is a "social thing." Exclusively for gay men to fuck eachother in. Why else would you go to a place like that?

>>72438723
You sound very insecure about your sexuality. There's nothing gay about being naked in the bath. It's gay if you start sucking your cocks or something.

>>72438723

God bless Poland you can go naked in the sauna with other naked man and no one will even try to stick a dick in your butt because even though male homosexuality is legal it is so much frown upon that those dicksuckers have to stay lowprofile 24/7.

We have special areas on our beaches (FKK-Strand) where we bath naked, not even separated by gender, it's fun for the whole family and there is nothing sexual about it

We have nude beaches in America too. That's a little different than wanting to crawl into tub with a bunch of homos.

When I was in America, I wanted to try public bathing, and it was ALL homo clubs

I love America, but they are tooooo gay a country for me lol

>>72438953
>I wanted to try public bathing
I don't get it. You say you want to travel to a new country and get into a room full of naked men from there and you're supposedly not homo?

Doesn't make any sense.

>>72438723
>Buncha naked men together when they're could do the same thing at home instead without being in the presence of naked penis is pretty high on the homo scale.

The only people who say stuff like this are perverts who are unable to look at another human being in a non-sexual way.
I bet you those child beauty pageants get you hot and bothered as well.

You don't understand

In Japan people have bathed together from childhood. Nobody thinks it is sexual

That's why I was surprised by America. It looks like men in the USA are always looking to have sex with men. My friends tell me to be careful at the gym, be careful in the bathroom, be careful in the gas station. WTF America

Because it's made obsolete by private baths.

>>72439057
they are clearly Russians, not whites

>>72439087
At the gym it depends how busy it is.

If there's not many people (maybe like only 1 or 2 in the locker room besides you) around and you're showering, they will often wait for you to finish showering before they go into shower.

Except for the old guys. And gays. Or someone in a rush that just needs to shower fast.

Some girls I know still bathed with their dad until 13 or so

Americans will think its strange haha

>>72439150
Sorry but this is why we call you a gay country

Europe and Asia don't think naked men are sexy like Americans do

>>72439209
I have sex with my father all the time. Some Americans think this is strange hahaha :)

>>72437640

Because of rampant homosexuality, and co-ed baths cant work because of creepy foreigners.

>>72439209
Yeah, that's pretty old to bathe with your parents.

I would generally expect the opposite sex parent to no longer bathe with child at about 2 years-old. Maybe done with same sex bathing completely by 4 or 5.

Well we do have public saunas in cities. And not the gay meet up spots that americans have, actual saunas.

What is it with american culture that makes being naked synonymous to sex?

>>72439340
You're gay because you see a naked man and want to have sex with him

>>72437640
We actually have the Roman baths.

>>72439444
We don't want to have sex with him. We're surprised you even desire to see eachother naked.

>>72439382
We get naked to bathe, and we don't think of bathing as sexual.

>>72439473
*Naked around other people.

>>72439209
Ew, I'm Japanese and I think they're be a bit too old to bathe with their dad.

>>72439494
Well I'll tell you this much, I've never showered with my girlfriend and not fucked her.

>>72439495
I'm a dad and I think it's hot

>>72439586
>Moshi Moshi
>Keisatsu desuka?

>>72439581
Well wow what a surprise, you fucked with someone you are supposed to fuck. I am talking about the ones that you have no sexual connection with.

Why is this concept of casual nakedness around other people that has nothing to do with sex so alien to you?

>>72439669
The point was, if I was actually intending to bathe, I would not have gotten in the shower with her at all. I would have done it alone. She would have only been in the way if bathing was the goal. And I never would shower with a woman for the purpose of only bathing.

But let me be serious here for a second. Going out of your way to find a location where people are naked, and going there to be naked with them will always have an element of sexuality, and I defy you to find a culture, even if it sees casual nakedness as overall very innocent, where specifically nude places do not have special sexual elements constantly present -- they always do. Latin texts literally tell us that the very topic of this thread, roman bathhouses, were a place you could go to find potential sexual partners. The roman poet Juvenal wrote about how you could scratch your head as a signal, when trying to communicate with someone you want to fuck in the bathhouses.

Well, you are welcome to visit a Finnish public sauna any day. There is nothing sexual, people go there to enjoy a good sauna, maybe drink a cold beer or two and talk about shit with the other sauna goers.

There is a saying in Finland that in sauna everyone is equal that dates back to the days of the working class people, the merchants and more wealthy folk going to the same public sauna. They leave their clothes, and with those their social status outside so there is no prejudice or social class present inside.

>Tfw your fetish is casual nudity...
I would never be able to go to a nudist beach/bathhouse without getting an awkward boner :(

>>72437640
We have it. Just we like to be efficient so we specialize it:

Swimming pool
Spa
Sauna
Fitness center
Gym
Brothel
Gay center

Everybody pick one based on what they want to do inside. Everybody happy.

Dont worry anon economical crisis is going to wreck Turkey soon and there will be no more roach tourists in eastern yurop :DD
