ok so i dont look like a jack ass, whats the deal with the steam/sauna room at teh gym
i know you're supposed to be naked but it would be weird walking around the halls naked, maybe with just a towel on,

also i heard it was not cool to give other guys a massage, and i should turn that down even if everyone else is doing it

also is it unisex or segregated?
is it ok to offer girls a massage?
ok thats all

when I was a little kid it was always really weird to see naked men walking around locker rooms, saunas, etc.

and I always assumed that it would become normal when I got older

but it didn't

Are you talking about the one at state?

Because it's out in a commons area, it's unisex, and should atleast be wearing a bathing suit.

In other gyms, they are generally in the locker rooms, and bathing suit or towel is generally the status quo. No touching. If I walk in and you are just letting your shit hang out, not covered or touching someone else, I'll turn around and leave.

As to being naked in the lockeroom, you've got to some... the showers, between there and the towel hooks, while toweling off, and at some point when you are changing. I really don't care about people walking around naked, but I'd rather have a towel.


And if by chance the old as fuck dude at my gym is reading (he's not), stop blow drying your balls w/ the hand dryer

ha at my club its always the old guys who walk around completely buttass

Theres this one doctor who always likes to put one foot up on the bench and start up conversations with his shit flopping to and fro about 3 feet from my face right at eye level

Luckily he's fat enough that the Peter Griffin effect almost comes into play with his gut covering his cock, but his balls still hang in my sight line

dude your e-dick must be concave if you're worried about some dude seeing your p33n walking around a locker room or in the sauna/steam room

i will say though, alteast bring a towel to sit on, otherwise, that's just plain unhygenic for you and others

So what is the purpose of saunas? Just to make you lose weight through sweat?

Yeah, one time I was crouching down to get stuff from one of the lower lockers when I see movement on my right.

I turn my head and there are a pair of 50 year old balls staring me in the face, like 1.5 feet away.

It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.

well i cant speak on the ncsu gym

but its pretty common sense never to use the lower lockers

its one thing to be afraid of balls entering your visual range like arcgreek

its another to just not be a cocklooker and be smart about it

naked is naked, b

wtf

SAUNAS
Saunas offer a variety of beneficial effects to the user . Saunas induce perspiration which helps in ridding the body of toxins . Saunas also increase circulation and raise body temperature which helps the body fight aches and pains . Studies also show that help to relieve muscle tension . For athletes , the relief of muscle tension leads to quicker recovery between workouts . This also results in a feeling of emotional and physical well-being . The heat of a sauna has been shown to speed up the disposal of by-products that are produced during exercise . During long bouts of exercise , the body may break down tissue protein to use for energy . This increases the body’s level of nitrogen . Nitrogen is usually removed from the blood by the kidneys then expelled in the urine . With the help of a sauna , nitrogen is also released through the skin . The use of a sauna can help speed up recovery by assisting the kidneys with ridding the body of nitrogen . Research has also shown that saunas can have benefits to the cardiovascular system . In addition to this , saunas help prepare the body for hot weather by exposing the body to the humid heat produced by a sauna . The body’s coolant system becomes adapted to these high heat levels . This could be very beneficial to athletes who compete in hot weather . By using the sauna on a regular basis , the body will be able to withstand the hot weather outside without a problem . Saunas are not recommended for effective weight loss . You will probably lose weight while in a sauna , but this weight loss will be due to a loss of water . The weight will come back immediately when you rehydrate yourself . Some conditions require you consult your physician before you enter a sauna . If you are pregnant , have high blood pressure or heart disease , you should consult with your physician before using a sauna . If you have the symptoms of any illness , delay your use of the sauna . The extreme heat produced by the sauna will cause stress to the body . When the body is ill it is already stressed enough . The sauna will only intensify the situation . Don’t drink alcoholic beverages before you enter the sauna . This increases the chance of dehydration .

SAUNA TIPS
* Replenish fluids after session
* Allow sufficient time for greater benefits
* Begin with moderate heat , adjust the heat when necessary
* To begin , lie on the lowest shelves and work your way up as the session goes on
* Rest after getting out of sauna"

when i was in scandinavia for a month, i got used to doing saunas nearly every day...at first, i did the men-only saunas, and then, as i became more comfortable with the people i was with, i started doing the co-ed ones

also, at first i kept the towel on...after a while it didn't seem to matter (you show me yours, i'll show you mine, plus the fact that it was only the americans who were modest)...by the time i was into week 2, i was doing co-ed naked

it was fun, actually...drinking in a sauna is a good way to get drunk FAST, btw

well, it wasn't THAT difficult not to look...we were always in LARGE saunas (not like the tiny one in the gym)...you could fit 5 or 6 people in there with space to lay out (i know, now you're thinking about penises and testicles just laying all over the place )...but really, a lot of people just close their eyes and lean back (i mean, it's still pretty erotic, but the people we were with - all early/mid-20's - were pretty mature...the americans were the worst)

aside from that, they didn't seem to care...i admit, i looked at the women when i thought i could get away with it (which wasn't always), but it was fun

yeah...drinking in the sauna led to some rather fun horseplay

^ if you go, make sure to stop by a glacial lake...the research station we were at was right next to a glacial lake...what we did (literally every night) was jump into the lake (just above freezing) and then run into the sauna...it's a noteworthy experience

oh, but you're right, though! hell if i didn't think to myself (probably hundreds of the times in nearly two months): "in AMERICA this and in AMERICA that..."

most of it had to do with how much things cost, though...we really are pretty spoiled, and the dollar is in the crapper

WTF is up with old guys walking around naked in the locker room for no damn reason? I have seen 2 old dudes, naked as fuck, toweling off face to face each with a foot up on the bench while carrying on a conversation in the NCSU locker room.

Have all these old dudes turned homo???

There's also this old dude who is ALWAYS walking around the locker room in speedos. I have wanted to get a picture of him for some time to see if someone on here knows who this homo stalking pervert is. He's kind of fat, short like 5'8", has a white beard and looks to be in his 60's. The fucker is always smiling too. His locker is somewhere in the back left corner.

this really is truth...i was never really comfortable being stark naked with other guys (every locker room before i attended ncsu was set up so you could be pretty much in your own area)...after you're in a situation where you realize it'd be easier and just say "fuck it", you start to not care anymore

take these old men - you know they don't give a rat's ass what you think...they're old, they've lived their lives, and hell if they're not going to walk around buck naked if that's what they want to do...what are you going to do, say something to them? hardly
