2) almost never alone. Usually with my wife.
3) temperature is not important so long as it's warm enough. Humidity is what counts. Dry = not good.
4) Neither. Don't use one.
5) Cold water in the sauna, sometimes cider afterwards.
6) British, male.

1) About once in a blue moon. I thinks it's a lot of hassle.
2) I've been in mixed and same sex sauna's sooo it's not the usual Brit modesty thing.
3) With the fire out, couple of pillows, it's a nice place to hide when you want a bit of peace and quiet.

5) Water
6) British and hold on... it seems I'm male.

That's you, that is!


1) How often you bathe in a sauna?

Once a week in summer, 2-3 times a week in winter, and more when the temperature outside is below minus 15 degrees. On the yearly average, I'd say a bit more than 1.5 times a week.
2) Alone or with other people? With who?
----------------
Most of the time, it's with my wife or alone. We have a sauna at home.
3) What's the perfect temperature in a sauna for you?
----------------
~95 degrees, according to the temperature meter I have in my sauna. I like it hot.
4) Vihta or Vasta? Which word do you prefer?
-------------
Visa. You can't buy anything with it if is spelled differently!
5) What you usually drink in sauna or after it? Water? Beer?
-----------
Beer (preferably sweet/sugary lager), water, greippimehu.
6) Your nationality & gender?
