A friend of mine is doing a trial membership in a larger gym.
I couldn't tell her anything because my little small town gym doesn't have a hot tub.
She's seen 2 different women do it. Is it copacetic or not?

Illogically, no.

That's a big old NO for me. I can't think why you wouldn't wear a suit and I don't mean your birthday suit That is right up there with the lady that was shaving her lady garden after our water exercise class right next to me. I don't mind you shaving your legs in a public shower, but do you have to shave your privates 8 inches from me

In the locker room is okay but not for me. I like my underwear on...to protect the innocent, no one wants to see my hoo-ha. I don't want to see another woman's either but it is a locker room after all.
But in the hot tub. Hell NO! That's just nasty and gross and being an exhibitionist. Join a nudest organization if you want to do that.

I vote nay. But that's because I don't really want to see your naked ass and I don't want you to see mine. But some people are just comfortable in their own skin. More power to them I guess.

No. And apparently reason [HASH] 432 why I don't go to a gym. LOL

Sounds like a good reason to not use that hot tub . . . ever.

I don't have a problem with the locker room itself, I'm pretty relaxed about nudity on the whole, but for some reason I can't quite explain I'm thinking no to the tub.

It's not something I would do, but it wouldn't bother me if others wished to do so.

I've sat in many a hot tub naked, but never in a gym, in the us. Logically, it's fin- the thin bathing suit does nothing but cover the bits, they are all still there in the water with you. But in the us, unless you are at a Korean spa, it's not done so I vote weird.
Any chance the gym is in a place with a high population of Asian or east European people?

I don't think a bathing suit really holds anything in, so it's not like being nude in the hot tub would be any different than wearing a bathing suit in the hot tub in any real practical sense.
I get the squick factor, and would prefer people wear a suit in the hot tub for general propriety's sake, but not because I think there's anything in the water when someone is in the ht tub naked that isn't in there when they are in a swimsuit.
I don't belong to a gym with a single-sex hot tub any longer, but when I did there were always naked people in it.
There is a Korean spa joint a couple towns over that I'm not brave enough to try, and I hear everybody is just naked all the time there.

I'm not particularly fond of hot tub nudity unless I'm gettin' some ;P. With that said though, every spa I've been to in Europe has nekkid men and women walking around, going into steamrooms, saunas, swimming pools, and hot tubs. You don't blink and eye and just go with the flow while there. Not sure why it can't be done here too, but I wouldn't advocate for it.

Locker room someone wants to get changed? Ok great. But the hot tub? Um no thanks. I don't want you to see my fat ass and I sure as shit don't want to see anyone else's. Thanks but no.
In Japan this is perfectly normal behaviour. Everyone goes into a hot tub naked but they have showered off and are clean. This tub would be sweaty. Gross!

Hot tub, no.
Steam room, yes (although most wear a towel around them)
Locker room - whatever. I'm not comfortable doing my hair and makeup completely naked, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

The Korean spa is basically the best invention EVER. Russian banyas lose me with the whole "let's go jump in the freezing cold now" thing. It's fun to be naked and wander around through saunas, pools, jets, etc. The ones in Korea have outdoor tubs- nothing better than sitting in a hot tub, starkers, while it snows.
Also good for your body image issues- my girls and I go often, and I think it's good for them to see womens bodies in all their variations at all ages. Yes, we will get baggy, saggy elephant boobs- no old woman ever didn't have them. Yes, all have a curvy belly or cellulite or scars or a million other things- no one ever looked so amazing I thought "wow!" and no one ever looked so horrible I thought "ew!"...just bodies! My girls don't blink over nudity, at camps and sleepovers they peel off their clothes and roll their eyes at the girls changing in the bathroom stall...if everyone is female, they don't care a bit. In Korea and japan it was common to see boy children in the womens side up to about age 7-8, and once even a man with down syndrome with his elderly mother, but in the us I have never seen that. So they have seen quite a few male bodies too, enough that it became unremarkable to play with the little naked boy in the pool, lol.
So there is the skinny on the Korean spa, they are fabulously relaxing and I think everyone should go!

Gross, no. There is quite a lot to be said for that little strip of fabric that filters one's nether regions. Without...just...hell no. ANYTHING could be floating in that water. Anything.

I don't care if people wear suits or not in the locker room hot tub. I've seen both.
Why do some people say it's so icky? I don't get that.
Are there special naked cooties that can't make it through a bathing suit?

Lol I'm a who cares on this. If you really think a bathing suit bottom is going to filter things out you got another THING (lol) coming.

I say "nay" but whatever.
Even weirder:
There's a lady at my gym (elderly lady) who likes to sit bare ass naked on the benches near the lockers (not on a towel) and eat her apples.
Okayyyyyyy....

I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it myself but I think that anyone else who does should feel more than free

Are there special naked cooties that can't make it through a bathing suit? Water goes places...kwim? PLACES. And then it comes back out...like a douche. Ya wanna be sitting in a big, giant douche bowl? Yuck.
