Naked same-sex hot springs?

I am currently teaching in Korea, but Taiwan is my home and always will be. I just read an interesting article which states that the newest trend in Taiwan is “naked same-sex hot springs”. This sounds rather strange, considering what I know about Taiwanese and Chinese culture. Can anyone verify this? Where? What restrictions? Is it a nudist environment or adult-oriented (18+)?

Thanks,

Yes, they have a men and a women’s pool - same sex. It’s not mixed sex nude spas!

Try California Fitness clubs.

Well, if you want to spread venerael diseases via casual hot-tub sex with random strangers, be my guest.

This is not 1978, it’s 2006, you know. This thing called AIDS has happened. Got to be a little bit more careful, Mr. “Troll” (ahem). :slight_smile:

I am not normally known for such an obvious brain fart. I apologise. I was reading same-sex but thinking something entirely different. I thought it meant both sexes nude public baths. For a moment I forgot what same-sex meant.

I am such an idiot. Wishful thinking really.

I am told that public baths were originally nude and shared by both men and women. It is only Western influence that has made us weary of such things.

Sorry for my brain fart.

Most hot springs are full of middle aged people and oldies anyway.

To each their own I guess. :laughing:
