After sorting through her life, Howard told her it was time for her to ask her questions and get topless. Howard told her that if she got completely naked, he’d give her a really, really great quote but she declined. She said she’s not really proud of her ass right now and didn’t want to show it off. She took off her top and bra, eliciting approval from Howard who said her chest wasn’t bad. Cheryl seemed relieved at that and said she’s very worried about her body, but everyone here was making her feel better about it. Cheryl then asked Howard her questions –
Hi Cheryl, Greetings from a fellow Canuck… 🙂 So I stumbled across this article while researching a blog about cheap wellness options in Berlin. (I am a yoga teacher and my students often ask me about health and wellness stuff in the city, so I wanted to give them a list.) Anyhow, I wanted to include something about German saunas and how great they are, if you can get over the whole naked thing… and I really enjoyed your article, so I linked to it (you can see it here ). Thanks for making me laugh (again) about Germany and how weird it is to be foreign here… 🙂 I hope you are re-settling in well back in Toronto. Berlin is grey and dark but the Christmas Markets are booming and we are all waiting for snow… 🙂 Take care Meg
Melissa – If you are looking for a sauna in Cologne I would highly recommend Neptunbad. Parts of it are in the beautiful original art deco/art nouveau original baths, and parts are beautifully modern – heaps of different saunas, relaxing rooms, a nice cafe, tea rooms, indoor and outdoor – we were there in the snow so outdoor was cold but also exhilarating. It was my wife and my first taste of the German naked sauna – and we also had the same sorts of reservations as Cheryl, and many other expats have, but had a wonderful day and quickly forgot about the nudity. In Neptunbad most people wear robes when lounging or walking from place to place. It is only the pools/saunas/hot tubs that are textile free…
Hi Cheryl… good blog! On my first visit to Germany in 2013, i visited a lovely spa in Munich and found it such a liberating experience as well as a great confidence booster – to be naked amongst strangers. No one is judge-mental because we are all in the same basic state of nudity so what is there to be ashamed of? The pool area was totally separate and “textile” and i later stripped off in the ‘male only’ circular shower area. I was a little taken aback when a uniformed female attendant came in to flush down the tiled floor, but she never batted a Germanic eyelid, lol ! I’ve practised naturism for a number of years now but only on beach-holidays in Spain etc. so can’t wait to feel free again on some warm & sunny nude beach. Regards, Keith in prudish UK :))
Dear Cheryl .. you asked “How about you? Would you, could you get publicly naked in Germany or elsewhere? Have you been naked and how did it feel that very first time?”
