The Sapphic Sauna Experience

Finland is the home of sauna, enjoyed by everyone. Going to sauna is a highly recommended experience for visitors, so don't miss it while in Finland.

In Finland, sauna is never a nickname for erotic services. Instead, it is a respectable national institution, frequented by practically everyone. Many Finnish families have a sauna of their own, however small, and often a certain weekday is dedicated for the "sauna evening".

Lesbians are no exception. In the 1980s, it was quite usual to have lesbian sauna gatherings - now unfortunately not so common with the increasing number of bars and dances.

To visit a sauna, take a towel, soap and/or shampoo, and a fresh change of clothes (at least underwear) with you. Strip naked, take a shower, and enter the sauna. Throw water on the hot stones and sweat away. Then go wash yourself, and take another round if you want. If there's a lake next to the sauna, go jump naked in it and have a cooling swim. Continue as long as you wish, there is no hurry.

Many Finns will have a cold beer during or afterwards, directly from the bottle. Cheers!
