It is interesting how people vary. Perhaps he was insensitive and/or
perhaps she was oversensitive.
Japan is famous for public bath houses and mixed bathing in hot
springs. It is completely legal and accepted to bathe **** at such
places.
However when I visited, I noticed most people used a small towel as
follows:
From:
http://www.marimari.com/cONteNt/categories/editorial/archives/japan_sentro.htm
"Aha… you should now be stark ****d and ready to enter the bath. You
will find that teeny-weeny towel extremely useful in covering certain
body parts. Although it may not be the largest piece of fabric, but
something is always better than nothing. Cover as much of your front
as possible when walking around. It is said that the Japanese have a
real taboo against pubic hair. So please make that your No. 1 priority
when covering yourself. However, if you are really into ****ity, it is
perfectly fine. No one's going to jump on you for that."
So it would appear that even although most Japanese enjoy ****
bathing, they usually observe a certain etiquette while they enjoy it.
That maybe what makes (keeps?) **** bathing so accepted in Japan.
