Since this forum is about discussing the benefits, history, and culture of hot air bathing, wouldn't it be apropos to tell the other members of the group about any outstanding (and preferably manly) places we have been to go with one's buddies to do so?  It would seem so; and I would like to start off with a place I've been raving about to my (male, of course) friends, co-workers, acquaintances, and even strangers:Chicago Sweatlodge - Old World Sauna3500 North Cicero Avenue, Chicago IL  …See More

"I think it has a lot to do with a buddy's experience with group male nudity, to put it bluntly. If he's a workout partner or otherwise had experience with "gang showers" (e.g., military), ask if he would like to go to a place to…"

Banya Men!

Though they aren't common in the United States, Jjimjilbangs, Banyas, Onsens, and Hamams are a great places to hang out.  This is a group for men comfortable in their own skin and appreciate the eastern ideas of public bath houses.See More

The Great Debate

"Iron sharpens iron." A place for men to impact each other by debate and exchange of ideas. This is a group where no ideas are off limits. If your motto is, "I never talk about politics or religion," this group is probably not for you. A "gym" for thinkers.See More
