Donkey's years ago in Munich I took my girl friend's son, aged 10, to a swimming pool owned by the city. Unfortunately it was all male and an FKK day. He was horrified, so was I, so I told him to keep his trunks on. However after 5 minutes the pool attendant called him over and told him there had been complaints, and he should be naked! We spoilt the pervert's fun and left immediately.

Sbrinz, a bit below the belt this time, no? (pun intended) - if you chose to go on a naked FKK (Freier Korper Kultur = naturism) session, a bit unfair to complain that you were asked to join in or leave. That does not make them perverts really If you go to a FKK campsite or beach, same thing. If you are uncomfortable with this, just don't go.


KFC FKK? Sounds interesting

I don't understand it either! That is something I won't get used to. I just wear my bathing suit

the thing i find strange about saunas is that normal society rules are suspended. i'm ok with swimwear in saunas etc. but i find it weird that being naked in a sauna is ok, but being naked in public isn't.
There is no law saying you can't be naked in public. It's only when somebody else feels offended and complains that any action can be taken against you.

I suppose when it comes to saunas, if anybody feels offended they can be told they shouldn't be there in the first place if they don't approve.

Furthermore, most saunas are on private property anyway, and landlords can make their own rules. they could demand you come dressed as a ballerina if it pleased them.

Do you have to insult FKK people? Can't you just accept the fact that nudity is where your acceptance of other culture stops, and that's fine so but that doesn't allow you lower yourself to such insults.
You didn't want to do FKK, fine, so be it. Teach your children the way you want it. But not such disrespect towards others. Really. I am shocked.
Well you weren't there were you?

Your attitude is really unreal! When 15 men are hanging onto the rope which divides the deep end from the shallow end, and tracking a young boy's every move: waiting for him to take his shorts off, then it is time to leave. Did I mention that I was naked? I think I did, but I was not going to force the child to get naked for some peoples' amusement. He was not my son!

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and believe that you did not read my post correctly. Otherwise I think your implied belief is disgusting!

To explain: I did not realise it was FKK until we arrived. I was naked and was happy to stay there, the boy was happy to keep his shorts on. After the attendant / life guard called me over and insisted the boy take his shorts off, we left immediately! Believe me they were perverts, and Munich is a city known to be popular with homo-sexuals.

I am happy with people being homo-sexual, I am not happy when they impose their beliefs on others.

And I also get a bad reputation from you Faltrad, I quote:
"Insulting and not even taking time to get back on with a more mature approach to the situation, even if I totally support the fact that you don't want to do FKK."

Please explain why you are upset? I did the FKK thing OK, but they wanted the boy naked. I took the boy home rather than make him feel uncomfortable in front of a lot of staring naked men. So why do you have a problem with that? Now then, where did I go wrong please to upset you so much? I really believe you are not reading this correctly, or do I need to cancel my GCE London examination board certificate of English language?

Wow, that is surreal...

perverts and homosexual in the same sentence connecting them together is very very wrong indeed! Especially with the last sentence!

Belief??? What on earth do you think an homosexual believe??

With this, you lost credibility in my point of you. Chill and don't insult people,

Re: Naked Saunas

Some strange goings on and opinions here (imho!).

I think Sbrinz is right that kids shouldn't be forced to join in with FKK (parents/carers shouldn't force kids into anything they aren't comfortable with) and I think the pool should have been a bit more sensible / lenient in enforcing it, he just wanted a swim. Let the adults do what they want in terms of FKK, but leave the kids out of it.

It reminds me of Alan Partridge where he gets an 8 year old boy and his parents chucked out of his local Country Club because the boy is wearing denim in the bar area!

In terms of linking homosexuality and paedophilia though, as well as linking any specific city or FKK with homosexuality or paedophilia, Sbrinz is clearly bang out of line.

Some good points lost in a sea of intolerance and ignorance.

Complete bullsh1t and insulting bullsh1t at that.

Your boy was being stared at precisely and only because he was wearing clothes. People in FKK places absolutely do not appreciate this and I am completely unsurprised by the actions of the attendant and am pretty sure you would have found the same in any FKK facility.

FKK is a family culture tradition in Germany. You are the only one linking it to your paranoiac fantasies about homosexuality. FKK is family life. You have a problem, it's you and only you.
Still, well done for leaving the FKK premisses when you understood the situation. That's it. No big deal.
