My wife prefers visiting the sauna in the winter, while I prefer a nude lake in the summer, not that either experience overlaps that often. It was a bit of a compromise to go in late April, though the almost unbelievably wonderfully warm spring weather had already turned a bit cool and somewhat cloudy. My wife hasn't shaved her body anywhere since last winter, an extremely sexy state in my eyes, one she finds fairly simple to satisfy. Fashions have changed over the years, though at least at a 'normal' mixed sauna, shaving is neither common nor rare - at least in this region, which remains a bit traditional. And not during summer, completely understandably.
However, including my wife, the number of unshaved women no longer seems to be dropping, and the number of shaved pussies actually seems to be declining, though admittedly, this could be different in a month's time, when the true outdoor swimming season starts. The number of women with visible hair on the sides of their bathing suit crotch remains vanishingly small - which is OK, since it really turns me on to see. And there is never a reason my wife shouldn't get me hot - she doesn't care about shaving, seeing it mainly as a chore.
Still. getting turned on at a public place is a bit problematic in my eyes, including a family sauna. Not that naked adults aren't prohibited from enjoying intimacy without crossing the line into sex - a line which can be quite different in my eyes, distinct from those of my European wife.
Admittedly, even the idea of a mixed sauna (or mixed naked swimming nights several times a week at a public pool) remains a bit unusual in my eyes, making separating the basically non-sexual aspects of shared nudity from the occasions where sex is involved, as it will be among naked adults, a bit difficult.
This is much less a problem at the nudist lake I regularly visit, mainly because the number of adults is much smaller, leading to a lower likelihood of people simply going further than they may have originally intended. And the number of exhibitionists is not really that large - and they too generally recognize certain boundaries - and if not, they are politely asked to stop, as at a public sauna.
Though I assume a bit more tolerantly - no one is doing it as a part of their job description; though this situation has never arose in my dozen years visiting. Generally, nudists may not have a problem with sex, but the feeling that it has its place and rules is possibly even stronger than among the people who always wear clothing in anything they consider to be a public space.
But a public sauna in a city tends to attract a broader range of visitors than a small wooded lake in the country. A fact made plain as my wife and I entered the fairly public space beyond the entrance turnstile, intended for undressing and showering. Though not the first time we have visited here, she made a point about mentioning mentioned that it was expected to get naked and shower first. My reply was sarcastic, not being the first time I had ever heard that with her, if less sarcastic than in the past, considering how truly comfortable I have become in sauna settings.
She turned to face me, removed the straps of her wet bathing suit from her shoulders, making me turn to appreciate her crinkle nippled naked breasts as she pulled down the material, watching her hairy pussy quickly become visible. She stepped out of it, then handed it to me to hang on the wall where a few other bathing suits already hung.
My attitude, a simple acknowledgment of her being naked in public, was somewhat superficial. I had already started watching another nude woman a bit further on within the tiled complex, diagonally across from the entrance, in the space next to another sauna, along the corridor to the outdoor section.
By any reasonable measure, this entire area was a public space, though my wife and I were not really obviously so, alone as we were in an area intended for taking off clothes and showering. Yet the woman with her straight long hair and delightfully small and perky tits using a brush seemed completely unconcerned if anyone was watching. This became clearer as my attention focussed during a second, longer glance, she now having turned, her hands running over her hair, back arched.
Her appearance and motions were now distracting me from my naked wife showering, something that didn't concern my wife in the least. The shower space is designed to provide a bit of privacy (or at least keep the spray off passersby), so she wasn't really able to see me as I kept talking a bit, her back to me, delaying taking off my shorts to keep watching, no longer glancing but now greedily looking. Women are much sexier than men in general, and some women are very sexy, even when easily 3 or 4 yards away.
The recognition of just how truly sexy this woman was, in that intensely compact way some smaller women have, was in good part fueled by the knowledge that she must know just how public she was being - and didn't care, at the very least. Concentrating on her, it remained hard to tell whether she was 20 or 40, though the older range was my preference - in that case, innocence was not really an explanation, nor the slightest impediment to my enjoyment.
Still brushing her very lush and somewhat drier hair, I took off my bathing suit, hanging it on the hook next to my wife's one-piece, hanging by a strap. The delightful sensations centered at my cock were increasing, as it began to swell, stray currents of air adding their own sensations, making me reach down, discretely, to move things around, after having been pressed together by the wet fabric of my suit.
Hearing the click of the shampoo bottle, I turned to see my wife soaping her hair, providing a further opportunity to continue enjoying the sight of a naked, almost undoubtedly horny woman enjoying herself in a public space. This became a more reasonable thought as she turned, then bent down, her hair almost reaching the floor as she brushed it. Some people are simply not shy, and in her case, combined with her sexiness, this had already become a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon with my naked wife.
