Bath House Spa Experience
I visited Dillion's Russian Bath House after weeks of contemplation, because I was not sure what to expect. This facility has a women's day on Mondays and men's day the rest of the week. After researching, I found that it is a mostly nude facility, and I experienced that everyone there was nude or only wrapped in a towel. There is a huge very hot sauna room which was awesome, shower room, large steam room, comfortable lounge sitting area, and massage area. I found the atmosphere very friendly and very comfortable to be nude all throughout the facility. I actually fell asleep for a short nude nap in the lounge area after spending some time in the sauna. I was so relaxed and felt so good that I spread my towel out on one of the loungers with about ten or so others in the room and fell asleep for about half hour which I was told is normal. There were many regulars there and about twenty or so people there during mid day. I later received an awesome deep tissue massage which made me feel even more relaxed. It was nice to be comfortable nude among others in a naturally nude environment. I spent almost four hours there and would have stayed all day if I could. I hated to put on clothes to drive back home. I would recommend this experience to anyone and would definately recommend Dillions in Chelsea, MA to anyone around the Boston area.

I go to Dillon's almost every week and have for many years. It's a
great place, I love the atmosphere and that I can hang naked with other guys
throughout the sauna, steam room, showers and lounge. There's a strong Russian culture on weekend mornings with lots giving traditional platza oak and birch rubdowns to each other in the sauna room. They really crank the heat up so be prepared for that. There is
another Russian style sauna just south of Boston in Norwood, Mass.
It's about the same size and same price and you can also hang naked
throughout. I personally prefer Dillon's because the heat in the
sauna is better. That's what sets Dillon's apart from other places.
It's the oldest steam sauna in the United States. One thing people
should note is that the heat in the sauna is best in the morning
and gets progressively cooler as the day goes on. The stones are
gas super heated in the early predawn hours and then cool
throughout the day. Bottom line, you can feel comfortable hanging
naked throughout the place.
What is the name of the Russian Sauna in Norwood?I would like to visit.
The place in Norwood is Blue Hill Baths. It has a sauna but no wet
steam room. Instead of open group showers like Dillons it has a
couple of single shower stalls but when I was there they were open
with no doors or curtains. There is a television lounge where you
can hang out nude. I never got a massage there but they are the
same low price as at Dillons. They have a small outdoor sitting
area where you can hang as well. It's fenced and private. I have
only been there a couple of times because it's not as convenient
for me. A lot of guys went there a few years ago when Dillon's was
closed for a month after a fire. If you can't make it to Dillon's the Blue
Hills Baths is a good place to hang naked.
Not a regular to 'spas, steam rooms, etc. unless theyare part of locker room services at a health club. For the spa,bath house community,,,in reference to the original post,,,is itcommon for them to have men only and women only days of the week?Or are there many of these places that cater to both sexes, in thenude, with common pools, steam, hot tubs, and such for co-eduse? Asking since this IS a nudist site,and would hope that services these days become more nude and coedfriendly, with the same comforts and equality as found at nuderesorts. Anybody know of any in the Midwest that fit thatdescription? I've hears of Kings Spa in Chicago, as almost allnude, but apparently only a mens club, and sort ofprivate.
The two places that I mention, Dillon's and Blue Hills both in
Boston are not co-ed. Dillon's was all male for about 125 years and
then added one women's day/night. It's not run as a nudist resort,
but the reason it's being talked about is that in an area where
there are limited options to practice social nudity they are great
places to do this. The sauna bath or "banya" is part of daily culture in
Russia and in many parts of northern and eastern europe. Most of
these places separate the sexes. People still frequent these places, sweating together, bathing together and socializing after a days work or when free time is available. Massage and rubdowns with brooms made of oak and birch leaves are common. Dillon's usually has a mix of men
of all ages and a few boys. I know there are such places that are
co-ed and clothed in public spaces and nude in the same-sex spaces.
I think some Korean spas are operated this way.
I'm not aware that any 'public' facility in the US can be mixed nude. If it is a private 'club' set up where one has to be a member then rules could be different. Here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area we have to huge facilities, Kings spa (Korean based) and Spa Castle (Korean/European based). Both have a men's area and female's are that the spas area with saunas are nude. The rest of the facility - saunas, massage areas and indoor (kings spa) and outdoor (spa castle) pool areas are co-ed clothed areas. If you google either facility you'll find the web sites. Both offer discount admissions thru sites like goupon and livingsocial that give you up to 50% off. It is very relaxing to be able to enjoy the pleasures of hot spas and warm sauna nude, there is nothing else like that experiance.
