This article is causing a stir in the sauna site. I hope these kind of things cause a backlash in Europe, but it’s not looking that way.

I look to the Nordics and Western and Eastern Europe as the last bastion of accepted textile free nudity. Unfortunately, I think accepted nudity is coming to an end in Europe.

I have a little money saved from inheritance. I want to contribute a whole year of payments towards my loans.

Has anyone ever done this?

One more month and we are headed to Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany.

We are spending a month. For each week, we are doing a spa day.

I am mostly part of this group because I think something culturally is lost when a culture makes nudity a shameful thing—hence the disappearance of Communal Showers. My hope is that the beginnings of the end of safe places for non sexual nudity (that I experienced in the late 80’s in the United States) isn’t happening in Eastern Europe and Germany. I will let everyone know my thoughts once we go. My wife is going with me.
