  • Scandinavian here. I’ve noticed the same thing with Saunas. Not just Americans, though, but brits too.

    Because having any articles of clothing on in a sauna is stupid. (I’ll defer to the Finns for a final judgement on that statement, but that’s my firm opinion, at least).

    Short story: Once upon a time, a bunch of coworkers and I had to spend 24 hours in a Rio de Janeiro hotel for a medical exam the day after. And of course we did what any self-respicting doodlebugger would do: we went to the roof bar. After way too much beer vodka and whisky we realized that there was also a sauna there. So we did the only thing appropriate; undressed and chilled in the steam. And for us scandinavians that meant nudity. For anyone else it meant prudity. And we were an eclectic mix of nationalities.

    Brit: “Uh, what are we doing here”
    Swede: “We’re bonding”
    Septic: “This is kinda gay…”
    Norwegian: “SHUT UP, WE’RE BONDING!”
