Thanks, man! I don't know what your face looks like, but I bet I would know if I ran into you at Jeju! Impressive man meat!
Steam and pools are gender specific. The saunas are coed
At a few of the K-spas I've been to, there are signs about no clothing being allowed in the wet areas--scoldings if you try to go into a pool with their provided trunks on (those are for mixed gender areas, public spaces, and massages), etc. But there are guys that walk around towel-wrapped, or holding their towels in front. The Koreans themselves don't do it, and I was told that they think you're not just hiding your "helmet", but you're hiding your motives for being there, because the whole point is that it's a place to be nude, and that it's natural (not sexual). "For us, it's cultural. We don't understand why other people are there. Some people are there because of culture too--Turks, some Russians, but some others..." He didn't say "cruising", but it was clear that's what he meant, and it was also obvious that he didn't approve.
