[QUOTE="JonathanP, post: 66599799, member: 160794"] Hello All I am from the UK and have a question based around the issue of modesty, clothing and culture. This question is addressed to all Christians from German speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and probably Netherlands and a few other places too where sauna culture is typically both mixed gender and fully undressed. It also seems that it is a fairly common thing to do even for those who may not consider themselves "naturists." As you may know for myself being from the UK and for many outside of your own country this all seems a little peculiar to say the least. Some cultures would require that people remain covered in some way and others which are undressed would be strictly same sex. Only fairly recently I found out that it was normal in German speaking cultures (and a few other places) to have mixed and undressed saunas. I am sure that the whole "naturist" and other nudity questions will have been done a lot on this forum elsewhere. For whatever people think about it modesty is something that is largely determined by culture and context, rather than being a set rule for all people everywhere at all times. So I am just very curious to know how common it is for Christians from your cultures to attend these kind of naturist saunas? Is it something that the Christians tend to avoid as believers? By Christians I mean church attending people who are seeking to grow in holiness (appreciate that none of us is perfect though). Would really like to hear your views on this and have a discussion. danke schön [/QUOTE]
