About 1 year ago, I went to the thermes in Mondorf, and I was in one of the saunas, where there was also a young woman and an older man. Suddenly I hear the man asking the woman if she wants a massage, she just answers “ehm no thank you”. I wasn’t sure I heard correctly. The man left quickly soon after. I asked the woman if she knew him and she said absolutely not and that he also put his hand on her feet when he asked. It’s not as bad as what is described in the article but the fact is some people need to get a grip on themselves.

Also similarly to some of the incidents in the article but different context. A couple of years ago, I was waiting for a bus at around 4-5pm behind the european school in Kirchberg when I noticed that a guy (who waited every day for the bus around the same time as me) was standing behind the bus stop (you know the clear shelter) just having a wank! Behind a school nonetheless! I was so stunned and because there was no one else around, I was scared to call the police. After several excruciatingly long minutes, a bus arrives and that perv just hopped on like nothing happened.

On the one hand, it’s really not surprising at all, particularly between men. I’ve received several offers or gestures while in hot tubs or in hammams with suggestive eyes or wandering hands.

As for women, I don’t mean to be misandrist towards us men but if I were a women, I’d find this quite startling, especially if I were on my own in the sauna – at the same time, as with all of these “interactions”, I’ve noticed a polite but firm “no, thank you” will do and people tend to be tamed in that sense.

I’ve read the part about women seeing visible erections. While I myself have never had that problem while around a wellness or salle de detente, some guys are far more active in their testosterone levels, some are generously gifted than others in that department also so I could imagine those guys having trouble concealing with just a towel.

Perspective, understanding and above all context is required for these stories to be looked at in the correct light rather than ramped up into a “aggressive sexual rapist perverts ravaging Les Thermes looking for victims” kind of mentality.
