No, I don't speak French. I wish I did. My name comes from an anime.
Do you have any tattoos? We should start a thread with pics of member's body art.

Ohhh.. That sounds like fun, a little masochistic but fun.yimija said:Well you just get out of the water, roll your body in the snow for twenty seconds, then get back in the water...
Oh, delights !
And do it again, and again, and again, and again... and so on...
lol are tatoos this popular? I don't think there'd be much persons willing to post their body artsmad pierrot said:Do you have any tattoos? We should start a thread with pics of member's body art.

Now I agree with you, it's more reasonable. I'll try once with sake. So far I only had champagne in the pool...mad pierrot said:And I was exaggerating about the pounding heart. No, I don't sit in the water untill I'm dizzy, nor do I consume tons of alcohol afterwards. Yes, onsen and alcohol can be dangerous, especially for people with high blood pressure. In moderation, however, it is perfectly safe. I've even been to an onsen that served sake to guests while they're in the bath.
Of course, I don't advise doing anything health-threatening; anything I say is strictly for entertainment purposes only, and Mad Pierrot cannot be held accountable for any other's actions.
Well, yes, of course, what else ?mad pierrot said::romance: ?????
yimija said:Hi Rachel,
no it's not, absolutely not. Remember, the temperature of the water is ABOVE body temperature. So one pick up the heat. When you go and roll in the snow you dont really feel the cold since your body has ben "slightly overheated". I agree that if you stayed one minute or so (which I wont...) you'd freeze allright.
Then after 20-15 se4conds yuo start to feel "verx slightly" the cold of the snow. Precisely then you go back into the hot water. And you'll experience the wonderful tingling of your skin for aboour 20 seconds. It really feels so good.
Furthermore this is excellent for your skin, will make it softer and activate blood in your veins.
No need to be maso at all. Just an epicurean will do it.
mdchachi said:It does make you feel alive, 'tis true. I did the same thing in Hokkaido in my young "crazy" days. You can simulate the tingling feeling by putting your hand in ice water for a minute. Then take it out and run hot water over it. Now imagine this feeling on your whole body.
In case you were wondering, I had a towel over my "privates" and didn't actually take a marumie shot like it seems. But I put in the no-looking symbol for added effect.
kirei_na_me said:Very cute, mdchachi.
Well, I do that to my face when I wash it. I'll wash it with lukewarm water and then rinse it with cold water in order to kind of 'calm' my skin down. It kind of takes my breath away for a second, but it helps my sensitive skin.
mdchachi said:Don't worry I rolled in the snow too. But I had to stop and pose for the picture.
I was trying to repost/move the photo the proper gallery area so temporarily there were two. gomen!
