and this is why I love Japan, a lot of westerners (I.e my American Friends) are kind of immature/ignorant when it comes to nudity. When I told my friends that men bath together in an onsen. They where like "Why would you do that?" and Jokingly "Are you gay?" I of course didn't really see any thing wrong with it. its the most natural thing thing you can experience.

They also asked me about mix bathing. and i reluctantly said "Yes, even today that is still there." and they responded with "Soo was it like a big ****" I care not to go in to detail but I was a little insulted. To this day I only have one friend that has the same view on this issue as me.

So I to completely understand this beauty you speak of.
