Why is this on my list.

23.✓Korea–Show it all in a Korean Jjimjilbang.

I’ve always been fascinated with nudity in different cultures like the Roman baths or the Japanese spas and in this case the Korean jim-jim bangs. it’s on my bucket list because I’m just like the idea of the bath house. Just going to a public place and washing your body it seems very traditional and relaxing.

The story.

So the first time I ever went to a jimjimbang it was in Busan it was me and a group of friends. I didn’t necessarily know how I would react too going To a bathhouse. Where you end up naked with the group of men you don’t know.

I didn’t know the rules either

I didn’t know what you couldn’t could not do

Can you look at another person penis?

can you make a comment ?

What is there option of eating hotdogs or bananas?

These questions and many more running through my head as I was walking up the stairs and Korea’s largest jim-jim bang.

That and also what will people think of my naked body

(I learned later that what people think doesn’t matter and being nude rocks)

So the first thing I did was my friends and I  split up from man to woman. We say where we meet and we go are own ways. My guy buds and me are  walking up a huge beautiful staircase and there’re big arrows at the top of their staircase saying men this way obviously. I knew what’s that I was going to the men’s side and so did.

We proceeded into the changing area we got ourselves a locker  took all her clothes off and put it in.

For half a second I had my doubts on whether I got naked but it passed very quickly.

I pull my underwear off  then me and my friends we all walked into the bath house. it was warm and humid as hell. But beautiful.

I don’t quite know how to describe what I saw. There was men and children all in showers and hot tubs. all of them completely naked from the youngest of young and old as of old.

I got to see the progression of age very visibly and for a couple minutes I enjoyed looking around and seeing everybody and there different bodies but after a while I realised that it dose not matter we are all the same

I didn’t have to look a way for people I did not have to feel anything different. I was just me in the bath house. I had an amazing shower, brush my teeth and. Shaved which is quite refreshing  there was a bunch of differing colognes and products that you could use for free.

And then after 30 or 40 minutes of me and my friends sitting in the hot tub clean and nude chatting and laughing about how funny life is. We eventually got up got dressed in some robes that they gave us and looked for the both sex communal area with a bunch of different saunas and hot and cold rooms where you could hang out with your friends proceeded to have coffee and chat and discussed how was like being naked in front so many people.

The photos that I have on this are actually from jeju  the small island down south  I went when incredibly famous jimjimbang right on the side of halason  mountain famous for its naturally carbonated water.

Me and my girlfriend at the time a beautiful smart, kind woman that I look up to this day. went together to this famous jimjimbang when are separate ways to the bathhouses had a shower  and did all the the normal things there is a carbonated pool that’s a extra added bonus.

It is cool sitting in a carbonated pool.

What happens is you take a dip and after 10 or 15 minutes your whole body is covered in bubbles just like the straw and a Coca-Cola. It’s an amazing feeling it’s one that I cannot describe.

(But let my. Dum ass will try.)

It feels really nice  like your skin is popping. after that experience I got out and met my girlfriend we laid down on the heated floor with a small pillow held hands and chatted about life

For anybody who wants to feel more comfortable in the body and experience a true Korean experience. I highly suggest you guys go to a jimjimbang

It’s beautiful truly is and remember you guys are all beautiful. I love you all and I’ll see you on the next post

Love Dane
