1:52:48and you see all the work gravity has done
1:53:18communal bathing isn't appealing to me
1:53:37Rural Japan is pretty empty these days
1:53:40Public Bath: Glorious Nippon :_minaHeart:
1:53:46i mean... if you were at least someone could reach your back
1:53:48Have you ever been in a mixed one?
1:53:52i would have gone to one when i went to japan, but i was with my brother for that trip, and i ain't doing that with him.
1:53:53Public Bath: Anywhere else :_minaDread:
1:53:59Guys already don't like using urinals next to each other, Willie
1:54:00Most willagers would probably be the oji-san though
1:54:01the ojisan would be happy for sure
1:54:18You find those in Yellowstone too. No one out there
1:54:36They don't even have mixed train cars
1:54:41you'd probably stand out too much
1:54:47I'm sure Japanese people are tradition bound enough that someone is keeping the practice alive
1:54:55some large onsen/sento have more water park style areas where ppl wear bathing suits
1:55:28Mixed but gender swapped onsen
1:55:30That sounds too ridiculous to be true
1:55:34If it is with the Male Willagers, we should show our willies to each other
1:55:37Mixed saunas are for families too
1:55:51I think people these days can wear towels in the mixed ones
1:55:54They're all mixed if you're brave and don't mind indecency laws
1:56:12Mixed friend group sounds a bit sus
1:56:21@BorgorMeister the older the you get the more you realise that ridiculousness directly correlates with reality. The truth is stranger than fiction.
1:56:30I have no shame about nudity at an onsen. We've all got our parts. It is what it is.
1:56:37That's what I thought too (for mixed friend groups)
1:56:40You'd divide the friend group!
