None of this bothers me, I just thought it was strange (coming from Canada).
Today I found out that the naked days apply for the swimming pool too. It was kind of weird being in a pool naked with two other dudes. Again, your not allowed to wear a bathing suit even if you want to.
Its a small pool and I felt like if I got too close to them I would be invading in some way, so I forced myself to keep a greater distance than I usually would. Also, I felt like if I swam under water they would think I'm a perv. Doubt I will ever get used to this policy, but I'm not stopping swimming (or sauna-frying) because of it.
