This is the story of our experiences in saunas and spas in Switzerland and Germany. It's a multi-part story based on true events. If you're looking for quick and hard sex look elsewhere!
Our lives continued as normal with frequent visits to the local spas. We were both used to being naked in mixed company but it was still a thrill each time and we never got tired of it. Winter was approaching and as usual we were expecting a visit from Jia's best friend and her husband for some skiing and hiking.
Bai and Wang are both from the south of China. Bai is the same age as Jia but only about 5 foot tall; Wang is 53 and only a little taller. They planned to arrive after New Year and stay for a week or two. We decided to see how the weather was before making any decisions on where to go and what to do.
During the holidays we hadn't had time to visit any saunas so we were a bit unhappy that we would have to wait until after our friends had left. We didn't think they would want to join us and weren't sure ourselves if we would be comfortable taking another couple. Apart from the time with Meilin we had never been to a spa with others or met anyone that we knew.
They arrived on the 5th and for the first week the weather was fine with clear skies and low temperatures. We went on day trips to the nearby mountains, hiking and skiing every day with amazing Chinese food cooked by the two ladies in the evenings to warm us up. At the start of the second week the weather changed dramatically, the temperature dropped further, there was a lot of snow and fog and going out was not appealing at all. We took a rest day at home and discussed what else we could do in the coming days.
During the conversation, Bai said "I heard that you took Meilin to some pools and saunas during her stay. Why don't we do that?"
Jia and I were surprised to hear she knew about this!
Bai went on to say "everyone heard all about her trip and it was one of the highlights."
We were both shocked and embarrassed and Jia quickly asked "what did you hear, EXACTLY?"
Bai looked at her strangely, "What do you mean? Meilin just told everyone about her trip and that there were nice pools and spas for swimming and relaxing!"
We realized that Meilin had kept her word and, much to our relief, had not told the whole story!
Jia tried to continue the conversation normally without answering Bai's question. "OK, yes, it's a good idea after all the hiking and skiing. We can take you somewhere like that."
Bai wasn't put off so easily, "Why did you want to know EXACTLY what Meilin had said?"
Jia was trapped, "Um, it's nothing really. Just there are lots of places to go."
Bai didn't buy it, "That's not it! I know you well enough and you're not any good at lying!"
Jia looked at me before blurting out "I'm not lying; it's just that the spas we went to with Meilin had nude areas." She paused then quickly added "she wanted to go, we didn't force her. Don't tell anyone else!"
Bai laughed, "Is that all? We know about nude spas in Europe. When we were in Finland we went to a sauna and it was also nude."
Bai replied, "The difference here is that men and women are nude together!"
This time both Bai and Wang laughed. They obviously thought Jia was joking.
I spoke up and explained how saunas worked in the different parts of Switzerland. Most of them in the French and Italian speaking areas were clothing only, in the German speaking parts most were mixed gender with some offering additional ladies only sections or special ladies only days. I also added that it was the same in Germany, Austria and Holland.
Bai and Wang looked at each other in surprise and Bai asked "So you went with Meilin to a spa with nude men and women together?"
Jia replied "Yes, first I just went with Tom but then she wanted to join us."
Bai and Wang took a moment to digest this before Bai asked "So how long have you two been going to these nude places?"
Jia told them the story of how we started visiting nude spas. She added that she hadn't felt comfortable initially but now it felt normal and was no big deal.
Wang spoke up for the first time saying, "I wouldn't want to visit a mixed nude spa and I wouldn't want other men to see Bai."
Bai said a few words to him in Chinese and then said "I would like to try one of the places that includes a ladies only spa."
