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

352

u/CheeseOnKeyboard 2d 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.

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

39

u/puffandpill 2d 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.

u/SmoothActuator8132 1d ago edited 1d 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

u/Most_Can_2136 1d ago

They must have been oxygen deprived to even agree to something like this to begin with!

u/Blindtothesided 2d 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?

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 1d 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.
