Naked male only spas and public saunas in Europe (not gay)

Friedrichsbad in Baden-Baden used to have separate men/women sections some days of the week. Grand old school baths. Germans, tourists, all ages and body types. Not a gay bathhouse but saw and once participated in some discreet action. When they reopened after covid they got rid of the separate bathing days. It's still worth visiting even mixed but obviously much less desirable. Have been contacting the bath administration to express my displeasure. Feel free to add your voice...

The towel is required. Upon occasion someone might take it off and not close the shower door, but there are patrols.
Do you see much cock at Rudas or does the towel change it. Do guys take towel off getting in sauna or is that not allowed
 
Any good nude male saunas in Madrid or Milan? Heading there in a few weeks and keen to get amongst the locals
If you are looking for a gay sauna in Milan, go to Royal Hammam: it’s a gay sauna, so nudity is welcome.
 
I think the vast majority of saunas in Germany is "textile free", but also mixed gender. A rare few may have men-only days or hours. I don't know about others here, but in my experience, it is very, very not sexual atmosphere. It is, however, relaxing and I find it nice that people are very relaxed about nudity.
Saunas are usually adult-only (15+). So you won't have kids running around, but you sometimes may have a gaggle of teenagers. But mostly it's adult-behaving adults in there.
Textile free means you wear a towel around you when walking around in the hallways etc., but when in the sauna you take off the towel completely and use it to sit or lay on the bench. The idea is that your sweat should never touch the wood as it shortens the lifespan of the wood. They also may have the aufguss in the larger sauna rooms where the staff (fully clothed) would perform a "towel dance" to whiff the fragrant-oil-scented air all over the room.

Finland, on the other hand, usually segregate their saunas by gender. They also tend to take off their towels and sit naked on the towel. However, fathers do take their sons to the sauna, so again it's not really a sensual experience but it's amazing I think because then those kids don't get the nudity hangups the majority of the world seems to have.
In Helsinki there's the public swimming pool/spa in the centre of the city called "Yrjönkatu". It's housed in a BEAUTIFUL building, some parts of it may be a bit old but it's all clean and well-maintained. They have men-only days and it is nude for everything including swimming in a full-length swimming pool. They do have female staff, but the place is quite big.
 
The Yrjönkatu Swimming Pool in Helsinki has men's days - Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday. The pool is good and the saunas are excellent. Swim wear is allowed in the pool but very rarely worn and absolutely not allowed anywhere else. It's somewhere I always visit when I visit Helsinki.
