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.

    Sorry about that.

    FYI this post was meant to be a little tongue in cheek, I made it mostly cuz I just got back from a sauna and enjoyed it. I do think there’s maybe some truth in what I said but I also get it clearly wouldn’t work for everyone.

    • 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.
