I havent been in a sauna, but I have been in a hot spring. It was around 45 degress celsius, It was fun.
Yeh, the mother of a close friend of mine owns the gym where I work out meaning I can spend some extra time there with my friend after it's closed. They have a little sauna build in, it's not that bad to sweat the nastyness out of your body now and then.
As for a public sauna with lots of nekkid old men, no.

My dad actually built a wood stove-heated one a few years back so now whenever I visit him we fire it up to about 180 degrees Fahrenheit and get in there. Yes, naked. Then we pour water all over the stove to steam it up and really get sweating, and take turns going out and dunking in a stock tank full of ice cold water. 
Saunas are awesome.
Saunas are awesome.Saunas are fantastic devices that are regularly used in addition to exercise for weight-loss and aid in the clearing of acne and blackheads in the skins because you're sweating so goddamn much your pores can't keep the dirty shit in there ^^
Yeah trust me, they're awesome. Need to do it on a regular basis to see weight-loss effects, and normally you should only be in a sauna for around 20-30 minutes at a time, but they are very relaxing. Don't fall asleep ^_^
Any weight-loss theory is bullshit. When having a sauna, keep yourself hydrated.
Finland almost certainly has the most saunas per capita and we're also the second fattest, right after you guys. There may be some slight health benefits, but the number one reason for having a sauna is that it's relaxing as hell.

I've been in once a long while ago and didn't really enjoy it. I like my coldness (which is strange for being an Australian). But hearing that it clears pimples and makes your sperm better has made me think otherwise bout them. Might try it again.
If it makes our sperm better, how come we have such a low birth-rate?
PurpleRain, it's unlikely you got to try a proper sauna. Even if you did, I expect it takes some getting used to like all the good things in life (except chocolate). p1ne had the right idea. 180F is not overblown at all.

I thought cold temperatures make your sperm better. Then again, I am basing this off an episode of King of the Hill where Hank had a low sperm count and he had to wear shorts and sit on a cooler.
Anywho, I like saunas, but I've only been in public ones. And only about 2 or 3 times in my life.

That'll be all the alcohol. Never met a Finn who wasn't a massive drinker.brkl said:
Saunas are good for you though. Good for circulation, and good for helping resistance against some viruses and bacteria which breed more slowly at higher body temperatures.
