The most important rule of etiquette to follow with mixed bathing is that both men and women should look the other way. I hope bathers once again create an atmosphere in which men and women can feel comfortable in a mixed bathing environment.
Quote of the Day ( 17 )
Kiyokazu Taniguchi, 58, who heads a society to promote mixed bathing at hot spring resorts. Mixed bathing is enjoying a renaissance among young women in rural regions but one problem is the “alligator men,” who linger in the baths for hours at a time, moving about with their heads barely above the surface of the water as they edge nearer to female bathers—just like an alligator stalking its prey. (Yomiuri Shimbun)

"Alligator men" is such an apt expression. I myself have never been to a mixed bath. I think I'd be too embarrassed. I know the etiquette is not to look but I don't think I could resist a peek.

I used to go to a mixed bath but I never saw any alligator men. (I'm a turtle head man myself.) The other men in the bath gawked at the girls in our group unashamedly. But I don't blame them. They couldn't help it, because the girls strutted around like a bunch of hoes. We thought it was funny. Anyway, the whole idea of getting a little peak in is part of the fun, isn't it?

Why aren't there any links to these baths? I've been trying to find them forever. Chomp chomp.

I think men are biologically evolved to take a look in spite of attempts to make them behave otherwise. I can't imaging guys not looking. Oh well...

When the old geezers start wearing scuba masks and snorkels and bring underwater cameras then all bets are off....

C'mon, let them stare if they want. What's the problem, except your education?
