I was in the sauna with high-level Finnish officials including the foreign minister, once, and I decided to poo on the coals and hurl some at them.

I said it was the custom in Australia so they nodded politely in between their agony throes.

It's a small, hot room. People sit in it.


Glad I could help.

And push the Finnish officials onto the deceptively rocklike coals.

Since you've never been in a sauna, enjoy not enjoying it.

You will think it's too hot and want to get out after a minute. But in fact you're just a big pussy, keep that in mind and stay in, even if you tell yourself you're going to suffocate or whatnot.

I knew people who bitched about even going into a sauna for a few moments. Shit was pathetic.

Ignore the idiots. I went to sauna's in Thunder Bay (large finish immigant community) a bunch of times. There's a system to it--so many minutes in, so many minutes out and when to take the cold shower. If you're going with an experiences sauna person they'll show you the ropes. Don't be macho in a suana since you can die or get dehidrated. Follow the set routine but just get out when you can't take it, cool down and then go back in when they go back in. Drink a lot of water. If you're giong by yourself ask the people at the desk about what regime you should follow. Also, don't throw poo.

No you can't. half an hour in a 100 degrees celsius sauna is a norm in Finland. I have NEVER even heard anyone dying from dehydration in a sauna. Only threat in there is falling on to the rocks. I have been in 100 degrees "löylys" since I was three. Seriously, don't be a pussy.

And to add what>>17820said, drinking water is for pussies. Sauna is exactly what Finnish beer is made for.

Well, In my experience, it aint "warm" enough if it isnt 100 celsius. But anyways lets see... Last time I was in sauna, I pretty much just mediated since I was alone, and before that when I was in sauna, I relaxed...

So in short, it pretty much becomes what you make it become for you. Heaven, hell, mental training ground, physiological stress-test... Its up to you.

If you actually manage to die in sauna because of your own stupidity, then you deserved it.

when it's your first time, all you have to watch is your breathing; it gets constricted a bit

breathe slowly, inhaling nasally/exhaling orally, otherwise you'll panic which results in sharp intake of breath which results in burnt throat or nostrils

Don't be shocked if people don't wear towels in Sauna. It's generally seen as a place where you don't need to be ashamed of anything, a not sexualized situation so to say. Women and men don't go at the same time unless it's family or good friends.

Anyway, Sauna is awesome. It'll make you feel like some devil just shat you out afterwards and you're going to be begging for more.

Yeah. Only Australian visitors may do this.

Oh yeah, seconded though I'm not so sure about that breathing through the nose thing. Just breath CAREFULLY. It's so obvious that most people don't even realize you can fuck up with this but I know of a foreign guy who did manage to burn his nostrils.

I umm, what's going on in this thread? how does a sauna need a description? it's a room, which is hot and very humid, you sit in it and encourage sweat. the end. Why are there so many posts about techniques/scheduals/dangers etc? everyone knows if you sweat alot you can dehydrate, that's the only thing to be carefull of and that doesn't need to be said.

>inhaling nasally/exhaling orally

Umm no, have you ever been to a sauna (and i'm talking about a 100 celsius finnish sauna with water thrown on the rocks ("löyly"), not one of those pussy 60 celsius swedish ones)? You inhale and exhale orally, it happens automatically because nasal inhaling and exhaling doesn't feel so good in your nose.

I've never heard of anyone burning their nostrils, but I guess it can happen if you insist on breathing through your nose despite the obviously burning sensation it produces.
