What exactly is 'co-ed' ?

For the other part, in northern Europe it's very usual to have public sauna's where people of both genders and all ages go indeed nude... There it's perceived as normal.

Depends mainly on the country you happen to be in, and individual preferences, but for the most part, yes.

[Snoopy]

No. Not nude anyway.

I went to visit a friend in Munich, Germany, and we went with her classmates, about 15 boys and only 5 of us girls, to a local sauna on the Saturday. That was mixed and everyone was naked, but all together there many more boys than us.

You can usually see people nude or with a towel around their waist.

If you say that in America, most people would look at you funny and call you perv. It pretty much depends if the public thinks nudity between genders is alright. Here, nudity = sex = no-no.

mixed sex


in the US that's unheard of.

Yep. In many european countries, co-ed saunas are quite common. Nudity is quite natural for them. They don't even bother to look! Its really a matter of getting used to nudity. Despite the sexual revolution in the 60's and 70's, we Americans are still prudish about nudity especially male nudity. I know many teen boys who are bashful about wearing a speedo in a public pool!

I'm sure the boys didn't look at your tits or make any funny comments! That's considered very rude and totally unnacceptable. Europeans, by and large, have a natural attitude towards nudity and are quite well behaved ..... even the teenage boys.

[fritz1993]

You're right. I've seen many teenage boys in g-strings on the public beaches! The people in those countries have a very different attitude towards nudity than Americans.

As I've written in other posts on GovTeen, if I'm nude, what is someone going to see except that I'm a boy? People in Norway, Sweden, Finland love the sauna and consider it healthy and a way to rid the body of contaminents as they sweat. The Germans are well known as naturists and have their own FKK organization, again it's perceived as being healthy. If you're Dutch and have gone to the beach, and they have many beaches, then when you get there, you change on the beach. You don't turn-about a dozen times to make a display of yourself, but again, what is to see, that you are a girl or boy? I wouldn't think that would be a secret even with clothes. If you're a boy, then people know you have a penis, likewise breasts on a girl with the rest of their bits hidden.

It seems it's only the American's, and in Europe, the Muslims, who think the body is dirty, evil, corrupting. Gosh, I wonder if God averted his eyes at your creation and birth?

The Japanese too also have a natural attitude towards nudity. Both boys and girls often use the same public bathrooms for bathing. They are usually buck naked.
We Americans, and from what I know, the British, Australians and New Zealanders are usually very bashful about public nudity. Its so different in Japan, europe and latin america.
