You aren't boiling your balls off though. Heat rises, so most of it will go to your face, not your lower body. Unless you are doing some weird upside down yoga poses in the sauna.
if its 80c in the saune it is 80c in the sauna.
I heard it lowers test but according to huberman if its done by a strict fashion it will boost growth hormone.
NASCAR cockpits regularly reach temps of 135-140 fahrenheit. Sure they have access to cool suits but they aren’t effective 100 percent of the time. F1 and other open wheel series are likely cooler than NASCAR but I’d imagine they’re still fairly warm in there
>No because testicular hyperthermia lowers fertility in males
Not chronically, dipshit. You literally just stop doing it if you ever want to conceive and you're back to normal.
so it literally doesn't matter unless you're trying to conceive and then you should maybe go a few weeks without saunaing before putting benis in bagina
kinda. i'm bit of exhibitionist and ogling naked women (central europe, but sauna culture is pretty similar to germany here) isn't that bad either. interesting that in regular saunas women are much more likely to be naked (fat too) compared to gym saunas
i think the health benefits are good, but from what I read it's better to avoid sauna (or rather cooling down in cold water/ice bath) after workout, because the improved recovery can hinder stimulus which you normally get from muscle strain
>go a few weeks without saunaing
more like 2 and half months
Ditch the sauna pill and take the steam room pill >Higher temp so you sweat more >Steam gives your skin moisture, just make sure to apply moisturizer once you get out so your skin can retain it >Thick humid air makes it difficult to breathe, which increases your vo2 max >Thick steamy air significantly lowers your chances of seeing old man dick >Basically all the benefits of a sauna and then some
You're welcome. That'll be five dollars
Only thing I don’t like about the sauna is fatties sitting in there for 45+ minutes and making a puddle of sweat and caking the bench. I don’t even think thats necessary. I read one study a while back that 50 minutes a week is how you get maximum benefits, and no longer than 15 minutes a session.
Don’t get me wrong, I think the sauna feels good and definitely has some relaxation/mental health benefits. But people unironically sit in there for way too long thinking it helps them lose long term weight.
>caking the bench
I've never seen this shit in my life. In every commercial or private sauna I've been in in the US people always have towels to sit on if there isn't an explicit rule to do so. The small town I'm from originally has fat people in the gym and no one is that unconscientious.
There's a banya down the street from my apartment that I go to sometimes it's full of Russian tradies who all beat each other with oak leaves in the sauna for 10 minutes and then spend the rest of the time playing pool and smoking cigarettes on the porch while grilling. You can tell who the non slavs are because we treat it like medicine, mechanically going sauna, cold plunge, steam room, sauna while networking about our dreary careers but the Russians would be smoking in there if the city would let them get away with it.
I didn't care for the Korean sauna everything felt tepid and wearing a t-shirt and shorts felt really stupid. The sauna at a gym is at least in this country going to be full of wreaking minorities in sweat clothing taking pulls of 2 L of Diet Coke while blaring DJ Bix nood on their iPhone speakers and wiping their dripping faces with the front of their hoodie as they chew gum and lovely smack their lips in between heaving breaths.
>You probably hit up the local fag joint just for the drinks..
Sometimes, they’re overly expensive though even just for beer.
Also I’ve never seen anyone having gay sex in the sauna. Not saying it doesn’t happen but it seems way too hot and dry to have sex in. I feel like most they’d do is handjobs discreetly.
I sauna 1-2 times per week for 10-15 minutes. I really enjoy it and find it relaxing, but it can nuke my CNS depending on the timing and other factors.
Once I buy a house I plan to install one and use it when I wake up and before bed.
>for a reason
Ya that reason is its easier to turn on an electric heater than it is to start a fire. But then I have to wire a 240V outlet outside and spend money on electricity and can't use it when the power is out. A wood fire I can use whenever provided I have wood. And since I live near woods, I usually have wood.

I have 3 saunas all with stoves.
Takes around 2 hours to get the temperature up to 100-105°C.
if you live near the woods you can simply build a cabin outside, with stove and whatever you want.
inside, I would go with electric, as its much simpler and easier to use. faster too.
[...]
based. any health benefits you noticed? I havent had the chance to go for a long time but if I had one at home I would use it whenever I could.
I want mine to be outdoors, with wood. A cabin would be too big. Maybe a shed but that's still $5k or so
I have seen several celebrities and professional athletes use the round barrel saunas, if an NFL player making 15 million per year uses a round sauna its good enough for me
I’ve had a home sauna for a year now, would highly recommend if you’ve got the money and space for it. Mine’s on my deck. I’m in there about 4-5 times a week for around 40 minutes.
i want to use a sauna because the warmth seems nice especially in cozy winter time weather but are you actually supposed to get naked? do you just look at your feet the entire time?
My YMCA has a sauna and most people just wear bathing suits or their workout clothes. In traditional bathhouse saunas, you get naked but have a towel. I want my own so I can hang dong while I manspread and get my ball sweat on everything.
>hang in top back corner >initiate the löyly (water the bricks) >either make 0 noise and reaction into cold plunge or make animal noises based on feeling that day
After the cold plunge I feel like a greek warrior because my balls are optimally and aesthetically shrunk atop my massive rippetoe thighs for optimal warfighting blood flow
no they arent , what are you retarded? LOL
ask any finn, they are depressed as fuck, koreans eat live rats thats how dumb they are, and japs are going extinct. so much for that unrestrictive blood flow !
Recently moved to an area with cold weather and a large Finnish population. It turns out that I've been saying "sauna" wrong for my whole life. It turns out it's pronounced "s-ow-nuh" (as in "ouch, that hurts") instead of "s-ah-nuh".
No because testicular hyperthermia lowers fertility in males.
I want children with my wife, so no sauna. Maybe when I'll be an old man.
How true is this really?
Are Finnish people infertile?
No, I have five kids and have been going to the Sauna since I was a baby at least once a week.

It's usually around 100°C near the ceiling and around 50°C near the floor
Confirmed for never having gone to a sauna.
> I heard
> according to research
Just do it man. If your balls feel uncomfortable, they will tell you.
Ive been to sauna. I love showing my big white hog to women, they always take a peek and make faces.
You are an idiot if you think there is big temperature difference on the bottom and top of that tiny space.
Try lying flat and raise your leg up, immediate and noticeable difference.
Find a sauna that also has an ice pool
race car drivers have kids and they bake in 140 degree cockpits for 4 hours at a time
>140 degree cockpits
imagine believing this
NASCAR cockpits regularly reach temps of 135-140 fahrenheit. Sure they have access to cool suits but they aren’t effective 100 percent of the time. F1 and other open wheel series are likely cooler than NASCAR but I’d imagine they’re still fairly warm in there

That just sound like a sauna. What kind of fucking "saunas" do you guys have in america?
A "sauna" in America is literally a closed roo with a heater in it
Just pour water over the rocks on the heater and have a humidifier running in the sauna room. Problem solved. Did this yesterday, legit.
No, I live in the Tropics. It's a sauna anyway.
Only thing I don’t like about the sauna is fatties sitting in there for 45+ minutes and making a puddle of sweat and caking the bench. I don’t even think thats necessary. I read one study a while back that 50 minutes a week is how you get maximum benefits, and no longer than 15 minutes a session.

i feel sick and faint after a 20 minute bath so saunas are out of the question
POTS syndrome
No I don't like gay sex with strangers. You probably hit up the local fag joint just for the drinks..
Those of you not in the know, just do some research on suanas. I'll give you a little hint. They're of for getting fucked up the shithole by some fag.
>You probably hit up the local fag joint just for the drinks..

I CUM INTO THE SAUNA I LIKE THE SWEAT OFF HER SLURP SLURP SLURP SO GOOD SO SEXY SWEATY LADY

Saunas in America are full of homosexuals literally
I really want a sauna like pic rel. They're about $8,000. I'm thinking wood stove so I don't have to pay the electric israelite.
yeah after inhaling enough CO you don't have to worry about no israelites no more
I would put a chimney in though.
just make sure its attached to the building (unlike the one at auschwitz)
saunas electric for a reason.
actually its incredibly simple to build a sauna. all you need is a tiny room or build a cabin yourself.
>for a reason
Ya that reason is its easier to turn on an electric heater than it is to start a fire. But then I have to wire a 240V outlet outside and spend money on electricity and can't use it when the power is out. A wood fire I can use whenever provided I have wood.

Hard to say because I've gone to sauna basically weekly for most of my life (24 atm)
Yep, wood stoves
I have 3 saunas all with stoves.
Takes around 2 hours to get the temperature up to 100-105°C.
Wood stoves?
I want mine to be outdoors, with wood. A cabin would be too big. Maybe a shed but that's still $5k or so
Those have shit heat distribution because of the shape so Reddit tells me. Go for a cabin style one like mine.
I have seen several celebrities and professional athletes use the round barrel saunas, if an NFL player making 15 million per year uses a round sauna its good enough for me
>b-but its so stylish and on trend
Kys yourself
literally build one yourself
its just a big wooden box with a stove and a chimney
doesnt cost 8 fucking k
You sound poor.
Is it possible to somehow mod a small bathroom into a sauna?
100% IDK about the cost though.
I generally do sauna 4-5 times per week. If only it was coed.
It's possible. You just need to insulate it and add a heater and make sure there is a drain.
You’re going to destroy the painted walls
I’ve had a home sauna for a year now, would highly recommend if you’ve got the money and space for it. Mine’s on my deck. I’m in there about 4-5 times a week for around 40 minutes.

Isn’t there gonna be a SwoleShack meetup in in Pattaya, Thailand? We gotta go in the Zyzz sauna and do a protein seance

is building a steam room significantly harder/more expensive? god damn i love steam rooms
Steam room cost like 5-10k. Sauna only few grand.
shit
Hell yeah brother
saunas actually have no positive health effects, its all pseudoscience. my source: fuck you
take a look at the people who came up with it and see how they are doing. not that well, I can tell you that much lol
finns, koreans, and japs are pretty healthy
no they arent , what are you retarded? LOL
ask any finn, they are depressed as fuck, koreans eat live rats thats how dumb they are, and japs are going extinct. so much for that unrestrictive blood flow !

ive heard infrared is bad for you how true or fake is that?
Hlaf-true. Infrared without ultraviolet is like refined sugar.
