- To this day, I can't believe how much I love the sauna! It's one of my favorite things that I discovered when I moved to Germany. My first time was a crazy experience and since then I've been going regularly to this place. Why though? The answers you will find in the video.

This is why you need a German passport lol. I love it that you experience new things. It’s good for the soul!
Oh yes! New things have a way of renewing the mind and making life more exciting! 🤩
I relate with you. I'm brown from Bangladesh and I'm also always the only brown person at the Sauna. Here in Berlin, I almost always see one or two black person there, but somehow brown people is very very rare.
Here it is the opposite. I see other ethnicities but not black people. 😅 Still a bit weird we are from hot countries but we like the sauna. 😅
the heat is good for the body.In your country you get the heat naturally.But in our countries with such long cold winters sauna is a blessing,and honestly I cant imagine winters without it 😎
That's definitely true! Heat is nothing special for Jamaicans...in fact it can sometimes be annoying but here in Germany it's the other way around. Even in summer I go to the Sauna but of course that's when it's not so full haha.
@@OshandoJohnson yes.Ive been to the tropics and I know.There you rather look to cool down,not to heat up,even in the night.Sauna would be the last thing on my mind there 😎 Im from Bulgaria originally (but the last 25 years living in Czech Republic and Germany mostly) and even there the sauna is not such a thing,cause the climate is different,even there is a snow winter too(but the hot season is longer,with very hot summers)... So in the European summer I simply must go somewhere more south and have at least a month of intense heat and lots of sunning.Otherwise during the winter I am not so strong and healthy,I just feel I havent "accumulated" enough Sun in the summer 😀Im a solar junkie and even here in Germany I do lots of FKK sunbathing in summer (and sauna too)!😎
I also love going to the sauna. I can't be in there for long but it's such a good feeling. Especially once you jump in the cool water afterwards or take a cold shower 😊
That cold water is definitely the reward! Just feeling your body coming back to its normal state is so mesmerizing!
Danke für dieses Video! 👍 Zum Teil musste ich sehr schmunzeln über deine Erfahrungen! Saunagänge sind super, aber sicherlich für viele, die es nicht kennen, sehr sonderbar. Du hast es super erklärt 👍👍👍
Danke dir! 😊 Es ist auf jeden Fall eine besondere Erfahrung! Eine meiner Lieblingsaktivität sogar! 🤩
And never forget: Kostet extra!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha never ever! All-inclusive but not quite. 😂
I have never been to a sauna yet but I definitely will give it a try. I can so relate to you when you are saying about beeing the only black guy. I have been on numerous occasions the only white person😂.
You should definitely give it a try! It’s an interesting feeling being the “only one”!
@@OshandoJohnson we are planning a girls trip with some colleges to a centerpark and they have saunas so there I will get my chance.
Is there an health benefits been in it? Like how a hot spring will heal your body?
Yes! There are many health benefits. For example, stress relief, pain relief, cardio health, improved circulation, clears congestions and so much more. It has both physical and mental benefits.
@@OshandoJohnson but what about the hot and cold how does that work? If you are not sick does it make you sick?
@@rayoneltigrearcher4799 the hot and cold actually is really good. That really helps with circulation. Plus the body is able to manage the changes much better than we think.
@rayoneltigrearcher4799 it actually has really beneficial effects on your immune system! There are plenty studies on it.
you should check also the FKK clubs 😎
Haha I'm scared to ask! What happens in these clubs? 😅
@@OshandoJohnson Mating,mostly 😏 Lots of naked young Romanian and Bulgarian girls 😎
@@OshandoJohnson I work as a masseur in one of those 😎The best job in the world
@@galimir well you definitely got my curiosity peaked! 😂😂😂
@@OshandoJohnson They are clubs or resorts where you can be naked 24/7 - swim, walk, cycle, sunbathe and even shop in the on-site supermarkets completely naked. It's wonderfully liberating.
The nakedness feels weird for you because you are not accustomed to it. I grew up in Eastern Germany where it was totally normal to go swimming naked. During my students time we even showered together (boys and girls) in the students hostel. It was totally normal for me because all people around me did it in this way. Nowadays it‘s not so normal anymore even in Germany. Yes there are a lot of saunas and they are crowded with people even in the wintertime. But in summer there are not many nude beaches anymore.
You're completely right. It wasn't something I was accustomed to so it was definitely weird at first. I still find it so interesting how our socialization impact what we perceive to be normal. The coolest part is opening up to new things and just experiencing how your brain goes crazy at first until it eventually adjusts!
There are plenty of nude beaches, nudist camping centres and naturist / nudist resorts all over Europe, especially in France.
