What a load of bollocks...just sit in a sauna

141

u/CheeseOnKeyboard 7h ago

Well, unless it's s private sauna. In a public sauna such as a gym, it's customary to have small talks with your fellow man and then give each other tugjobs. Im sorry, im just not into that.

u/Haunting_Song7313 7h ago

What you don’t like small talk?

u/Dysxelic_Potser 6h ago

No need to be ashamed of your talk, its all in how you talk that really matters.

u/Sandcracka- 2h ago

If you don't want to have small talk, then you can go straight into the tug jobs. You do you.

19

u/puffandpill 6h ago

No, no, no!

The move is offer a BJ.

Then your mouth is occupied (no small talk) AND you get to be the sauna hero that day.

Yes that is a fact. People don’t seem to understand the “keep your eyes forward and have headphones on” trick. If you make eye contact, you’re doomed.

Water and fire therapy combined!

u/BellybuttonWorld 6h ago

No this therapy really works! The idea is you're in terror while it's happening but then afterwards feel so much relief to have not burned alive that you feel more invigorated!

/s but probably not far off the mark lol

u/Most_Can_2136 4h ago

There's people out there who just dream up the most outrageous things. Just to find out how much money people will pay to torture themselves or be tortured. Someone's having a good laugh over this one.

u/TaytoChip 2h ago

u/atclubsilencio 5h ago

yeah, there are just so many ways that this could go really bad really fast, and burning alive is one of my biggest fears. so NO THANKS

I feel like this should belong in r/sweatypalms for more than one reason.

ETA - Oh my word, I thought he was wearing a special fireproof suit, watched it in full and realised it's just a bunch of hotel towels, jeeeeezus no. Nope. Stahp.

u/Blindtothesided 6h ago

Omg I did not even notice that till I read your comment and watched for a third time. I thought it was a special suit too! Hell naw, hard pass.

And how did the masseuse not burn their hands touching it like that?

u/SmoothActuator8132 5h ago edited 5h ago

I was gonna say, even with a fireproof suit you can only do a burn for so long, the major concern is the fire consuming all the oxygen around your head causing asphyxiation
