気が引けますか。私もです。
私が混浴に入った時は、朝の早い時間だったので、人がほとんど入っていませんでした。

家族風呂は、知らない人と混浴したくない人のために作ったのが始まりだと思います。もちろん、外国人の方のためもあるかもしれません :grin:

日本の子供もお風呂が嫌いな子は多くいます。特にシャンプーを嫌がる子供が多いようです。

I have a question: Do Japanese people go to an 温泉 very often? Or is it just on an occasional basis? Thank you!

There again, have you ever been on a Mediterranean beach? I'm sure modesty towels cover more than a monokini does. In mixed bathing I'd probably already be bright red because the water is so hot. Also family bathing is a completely alien concept in the West I think. Miki-san did you know most western children are reluctant to bathe? I heard in Japan this isn't the case and bathing is seen as fun. 美樹さん、お久しぶり、すみません。

Hope everyone is ok. I have been to public baths many times in Korea and would say that it is no big deal. Some foreigners definitely had a hard time with it though. I think it is just the western/Amercian mentality that makes it seem strange. We are rather prudish I suppose. Some of the hot springs are fantastic. The coed baths there are called "family" baths and I have no experience with them. I think they really are family type baths and not just open to anyone though. I'll have to give the onsen in Japan a try when I get there. I too just heard about the quake. Hope everyone is ok.

My lady friends showed me how to hold a privacy towel as I went from the washing area to the soaking tub. With only women it wasn't too embarrassing, still a little difficult for a Westerner like me. But once I got in there -- oh, my! I love the Japanese bath!! :grin: As to going in a "konyoku", I might . . . .:oops: While visiting Japan, I went in a women only bath at an onsen.

Where are you supposed to direct your gaze? With girls like Miki about, I wouldn't be surprised if the eyes of an ojisan or two were caught wandering :lol: These lessons are a bit ahead of me, but this is an interesting topic :lol:
