Public baths

About once a week I go to an onsen with my 'sugar daddy'. He comes and picks me up in his Porsche, we go to the onsen, and afterwards he takes me out to dinner somewhere. All he wants in return is for me to discuss London and the Beatles endlessly with him, which I'm quite happy to do!

Last night, we didn't go to a proper onsen (i.e. one fed by a hot spring), but instead went to a public bath. And it was incredible! If Willy Wonka had designed a public bath, it probably would have ended up a bit like this one. It was a real water wonderland!

There were about 5 different kinds of jacuzzi, all with different-sized bubbles. One of them had special bubbles shipped in from Hawaii, although I'm not sure quite how that works. There were hot baths, cold baths, medium baths, outdoor baths, you name it. There was even a lemon bath that was bright yellow and smelled like washing up liquid. But the king of baths has to be....

the Electric Bath.

Imagine the thrill of sitting on an electric fence for extended periods, whilst also being in the bath! If you ever get the chance to have an electric bath, I highly recommend it.

Don't worry, I was reassured that "nobody has ever died from it"!

I have been in an electric bath and it is NOT a good experience. I love touching electric fences as much as the next man, but the baths are just disturbing.

This electric bath sounds like a great idea. I'm just running a bath at the moment. Now, where is that toaster?
