SAUNA

SAUNA.

I, like most finns, have read about saunas abroad.

Is it true, that most of your "saunas" are barely +40 celsius and that you either wear a towel or fucking sweat pants in them?

BUMP

>are barely +40
no
+65°C minimum
>a towel
in public ones mostly yes but sometimes not

btw how much time do you spend in a sauna ?

Grew up in the "Sauna Belt" and no, we never ran our sauna that cold and yes the whole family would be nude in there but we Yoopers are an exception to most Americans. The sauna at my gym never gets above 45.

My gf is Finnish (I am not a faggot Swede either) and we sauna in the highest temperatures imaginable.

>barely +40 celsius
Nigger, it's hotter than that OUTSIDE of the sauna. Bitch.

Lol. My sister in law has a "sauna", you're not allowed to throw water on to the stones or the shit will short itself. Good times.

Twice a week.

Maybe an hour.

Americans don't sauna. We get that from the British, who don't sauna.
It's not that cold over here.

>What am I in for?
A boner when she starts beating the shit out of you with the vihta.

Yes.

Try it.

Feel it.

Live it.

Imagine the smell.

one hour is really fucking long
I can do max half an hour
One the other hand my sauna is really small, just place for two people, I had the feeling you can stay in a bigger sauna longer at a higher temp.
But I hate steam saunas, I get problems there with my lungs

We sauna up here in Wisconsin. I don't know how hot we keep them. They are mostly at gyms so you can ease your muscles after working out. Most people wear a towel or swim trunks or something. If you went in naked, people would be weirded out.

>Finnish sauna
Oh piss off. Only real sauna is black banya with a proper open hearth. You get covered in soot, then scrub it away, thus cleansing in fire like gods intended.

You guys are gonna kill urselves doin that. Ain’t right

celsius is retarded for human relative temps, the resolution isn't fine enough

wouldn’t that much heat kill your sperm and boil you alive?
whats the purpose of a sauna?

You of course take a break every fifteen minutes or so, you don't want it to get uncomfortable.

Is breathing difficult in one?

I'd like 4 times a week, but usually manage twice - 3 times a week. 70 - 90 degrees and can spend 30- 40 mintues in that fucking bitch. Afterwards clean myself with coldest water I can stand, then moisturize after drying off you'll have skin like a teen and feel like a god.

Viinaa, mämmiä ja perheväkivaltaa saatana

I'll comfortably sit in the sauna up until ~72 the rest is just a test of manhood. Prefer naked but last couple of times I've been at sex shared saunas and you're just a weirdo if you're naked with strangers in those, men's only saunas I'll go naked as well but was a long time ago.

Okay, so what are you then you cunt?

>swimming trunks

So you guys also enjou chlorine poisoning?

>100'C

That is when the fun starts. Though I do prefer 90 for more gomfy sessions.

The trick I recently found out is to breathe very shallow. When you breathe more you raise your heart rate so when there's a lot of heat and you breathe heavily your heart rate goes too high and you feel like you can't breathe.

>whats the purpose of a sauna?

Relaxation. Cleaning yourself. Ancient finns were born in saunas and the dead received their final cleaning in them.

We are still here, so I don't think it kills our sperm.

No, breathing is easy if you breathe through the mouth

The only Saunas here are at hotels.
Very weak but that's for the best.
Finnish Sisu can handle the extreme heat that would put most of us burgers in the hospital
Also, We use hot tubs mostly

I once went to Sauna in America and it had sign 'throwing water on the stove is not allowed'.
Stove was made in Finland...

Went to a sauna 3 times in my life, here in Italy, in this specific place, a sauna got to a temperature higher than 50° Celsius, I fucking loved it, only had a towel to cover my peepee, otherwise, I was completely nude, my ass was burning
>never felt better afterwards

Might take you a try or three, If you've never been in one.

You are a murimutt and thus are wrong by simply being born, opinion not withstanding

Truly ironic

I'm really skinny (6ft 150lbs) and have asthma so I was worried about that. Will still give it a try though. Thanks

Yeah, I do one small break for liquid
Didn't tried it with like three breaks yet
Mybe if I get a bigger sauna, but I get rather uncomfortable in my small one after a longer time

>Does it feel good roasting?

Ask a jew.

>hot tubs
Nasty. Unless you have one in your backyard.

So let me get this straight... The sauna championships were so hot that it literally peeled the skin off of you?

60°C about for me
mostly after Teak won do with my Korean bros
then we go drinking
twice a week, literally the only thing that keeps me going in this shitty world

are you fucking kidding me? ameritards, what's your excuse for this blasphemy?

>you either wear a towel or fucking sweat pants in them?

I wear my swimming trunks when I go to mine.

Saunas outside of Nordics and Germany are a joke. I remember one in Ireland was like 40-50 degrees and can't throw water on it. Everyone in swimsuits straight from pool. Ummm could you NOT

Dude, it's not uncommon for the fuckers to die when competing in those.. or it's something i've heard at least, but from several different sources.

It's still pretty hot though, as my trips will indicate.

>The annual sauna world championship in Finland has been called off after a Russian man died after spending six minutes enduring a temperature of 110C.

>a contest for who can survive being boiled alive the longest

must ask, do you also wear your swimming trunks when you take a shower?

No idea what gobly gook temperature measurement that is

The only thing that saunas are known to be bad for is if you have a serious heart condition, so in moderation you should be just fine.

can you masturbate in there? i would love to try it

why don't they throw water on it
whats the point

No.

yes, we don’t like looking at our mangled dicks

Oh yeah, a sauna too small is agony.

Not enough ventilation.

>+65°C minimum
lmao what the fuck is that, thats not a sauna. Sounds more like turkish gay sex hut. Sauna STARTS at 100 degrees with vihta and copious pouring of beer over the cracking stones.

Do you jump into a cold lake after?

The point of sauna isn't to compete how hot it is, but that it's natural heated and bonus points if you can jump in a cold lake after that. More natural the sauna is, the better. Wood, fire, lake, maybe some herbs, that's a good sauna.

No. I just don’t like being nude in front of strangers

The places where Finns live in northern parts of America do look like Finland for sure. Although, Finland is very flat. No mountains and hills are rare.

It was the sauna world championship to end the whole competetion.

The ryssä cheated with some pain numbing lotion and died.

Yeah... I literally quoted a picture of a dead guy and did my research before making my post. Read about it on wikipedia.

But I'm still confused. Surely they wouldn't make it so hot that your skin peels off?

how do I know that you arent white

The one at my gym goes up to 180° or so.
I'd get naked if it weren't for all the gross fatties and brown people though.

Bad idea you can get chlorine poisoning and also you are gay.

when I get a new sauna, I need one where I have enough space to lay down

What about the 'plap or palp ' problem ?

in arizona we have sweat lodges, they are so hot people regularly die in them

How hot is a real Finnish sauna?

They are literally terrified it will kill them or break the stove. Irish people are not the smartest tools in the shed. Lovable, but dumb.

why do finns beat each other in the sauna?

Not every sauna is located beside a lake, friend.

But yes, I would if I could.

>sharing a room with other people, even men
>naked
As a rule of thumb, if you are naked with someone OTHER than your wife. you SHOULD rethink your life choices. If i had the funds I would Buy body armor, guns, ammo knives and other fun toys just so I could pray in peace. I HATE being exposed and would like being weighed down by hundreds of pounds of gear to be nude with someone else

Also I should mention that Americans treat saunas as an accessory to exercise rather than leisure time.

Second best is winter time with at least 15-20cm of fresh snow outside, you run out and roll around there to cool off.. get inside again and repeat.

You know what sucks Taavi? A lot of apartments here ban vihta. It's being phased out because people don't want to be insulted with smells other than depression in the air and don't want to have a leaf or two lying around. Shit sucks because vihta is bliss.

Refreshing, opens the pores.

And I bet you've never smelled a fresh birch vihta

The only sauna near me is at a swimming pool, there is nothing to throw water onto, the steam and heat is climate controlled and comes out of a ventilation system.

it is in Alaska, which has a big Native sauna culture.

From 60 to 100 celsius.

Vidat are very refreshing and cleansing.

I spend my days praying. who enjoys being nude anyways? its weird

What?

my nigga

A sauna that can fit at least 5 people is good, even for just one person.

>strangers in my sauna
ah sorry, didn't realise you were referring to a public one.

> mfw i will never get to experience sauna and snow like my great-grandparents did
