Hey there, just trying to get up to speed. I want to be a part of this, but it's a really bad couple of weeks (job interviews, super busy at work, getting vomited on on the bus) -- I will add what I can as I can.

The pleasure for the men could be emerging from the warm (but stifling) heat of the Earth/Mahome into the cool free air -- the sauna is a place where the "woman's world" lets you free yourself of dirt and fatigue and return to the open air refreshed. A man who spends too much time in the sauna, of course, leaves himself open to "Nandan" and "Humakt" jokes.
