I think you should take that opportunity to voice the need for a bigger sauna room, if not another one. I know what you mean that you want the sauna for yourself alone. It's truly kind of icky to think of other people's sweat mixing with the steam. >.< Lucy@<a href="http://ihealthsaunas.com/html/s01_home/home.asp" rel="nofollow">iHealth Saunas</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658007248198964752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856440432185169438.post-83731075095742547052013-08-06T13:26:16.926+12:002013-08-06T13:26:16.926+12:00Thank you for your very informative reply, AHHS!Thank you for your very informative reply, AHHS!Jane Bloomfield: truth is stranger than fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152663420076316491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856440432185169438.post-39069015242142694942013-08-06T10:15:41.803+12:002013-08-06T10:15:41.803+12:00This is exactly the reason people choose to instal...This is exactly the reason people choose to install saunas in their homes. Sauna bathing preferences can vary widely (from the water on the stones to the level of dress, or rather undress, preferred), though it sounds like your "friend" is highly unaware of what is acceptable and unacceptable in a sauna.<br /><br />As a side note, and to give you a bit of ammo if you ever encounter your "friend" again...when you sprinkle water on the sauna rocks (which btw is a Finnish tradition known as loyly) it actually gets COOLER in the sauna. Though the temperature is lower, it does feel hotter because the water you've just added to your sauna heater's hot rocks is going to turn into vapor and then condense on your skin. If you think about it for a moment you will realize that your body (eg 98 degrees F) is one of the coolest things in the sauna, and that condensing water vapor is exothermic, which means it gives up heat - lots of it - and that's where the sensation of heat during loyly is derived.Almost Heaven Heavenly Saunashttp://www.almostheaven.net/aho/heavsaun.htmnoreply@blogger.com
