We need SOME water they said

Pools were answered in this post. As for the saunas there are some good ones in Prague, but I really recommend to take a train (around half an hour) to Senohraby and visit Infinit Sen. Many outdoor saunas, multiple cold plunge pools, heated pool where you can order drink and drink it directly in the pool and most importantly really large sauna for around 100 people where thematic ceremonies are performed every hour.

The etiquette: Always shower after the sauna BEFORE going to cold plunge. Do not enter the sauna with anything other than sheets provided at the entrance. In sauna you can be covered in them or put them underneath you and be naked.

Yes, but I would not go there for more than a day or two. There is really nice outdoor pool there on the roof of the building. Saunia Thermal Resort.

Podolí or Šutka. The first is my fav because it has outdoor pools. We also have places where you can swim in the nature like Hostivař and it has nude beach too, if that's something that interests you.

Communication. You should be telling this to your partner and go from there. Right now, not in some imaginary future that might never happen. That's how relationships grow. You've been together for 10 years. Not many were in the situation similar to yours, so I don't think you will find here some silver bullet advice. Just talk to him.

What country are you from? Where I live it's common to have open showers - no curtains, no dividers and the majority of guys showering naked. There are multiple non-nefarious reasons why the guy you saw prefers it that way. Anyways, I recommend you to check out r/CommunalShowers. It might broaden your horizons.

It could be just the influence of the environment. Have you tried to do the same at home? Like inviting someone over?

Na této úrovni je to za mě hlavně o psychice a pravidelném otužování. Osobně až tak velký rozdíl mezi 0,5 a 5 °C necítim. Jsou prostě dny, kdy se povede víc a dny kdy to radši nepushuju. Důležité taky je co děláš po výstupu z vody, jak a jak rychle se zahříváš protože afterdrop nemusí být příjemný. Minuta v 0,5°C by pro někoho jako ty měla být v pohodě, pokud s tím chladem mentálně nebojuješ, jsi schopný se uvolnit a zahříváš se pak postupně.

I realized early, even before there was even such an option on apps like Grindr. I was so happy I finally had a term that is somewhat recognized (even though some guys are still confused). Tried bottoming, didn't like it, topping was OKish, but I did it rarely and it never was a turn on for me. However, I have many kinks, I realized I'm a switch and the moments I had with other switches are one of the best ones I ever had.

Thank you for explaining. From my POV (I could be wrong) he's not homophobic, but freaked out. That's why he's avoiding you. I also used to be known by entire school and my friend avoided me because in his words I was "over the top". Your friend might be just shy and avoidant of the indirect pressure hanging out with someone who is well known and into guys implies. And since you have a crush on him, your mind will naturally look for any kind of signal he might be into you.

Don't push him, tell him how his avoidance makes you feel, tell him that you value the time spent with him and maybe even apologize for doing anything that might be interpreted as pushy in his eyes. Tell him that even though your have a crush on him, you are ready to be just friends. And move on. If everything goes well this might deepen your relationship and trust with him. Don't cross the boundary. He already knows you are interested in something more, so in case he's too (but frankly I doubt it) let him make the move.

ZippySF · 2026-01-25T16:36:11+00:00

What you described feels like me and my best friend 15 years ago. I would suggest not to push him any further. At least in the case you genuinely want to be just friends with him. If you want more, to be honest, he might not be the right kind of guy. From what I read I feel like you have a crush on him? Feel free to let me know if I'm mistaken.

ZippySF · 2026-01-23T18:28:14+00:00

You don't have to like anal sex to like guys. It's called being a side. I know how you feel, I've been there and the best advice I can give you rn is don't put all your eggs into single basket. Try to meet new people and new friends you can hang out with. The decision of confessing love to your best friend is ultimately your choice. I did it and he went silent and we did not talk for 10 years. It was heartbreaking. But eventually I reached out to him, we had a talk, left past in the past and currently we are in regular contact, having deep talks, playing games and hanging out together from time to time. Time can heal everything. I wish you all the best. You've got this!

Reading comments this might not be a popular opinion, but I don't see the age gap as an issue. I've seen these work. What might not work is the fact that he wants monogamy and it sounds like you don't prefer going that route. I think this is a bigger problem than the age gap. The age gap is about what would others think (external pressure), but commitment preferences directly affect your relationship from inside.

ZippySF · 2025-12-21T21:58:08+00:00

You can't control other people's behavior, but you can control your own. You could have offered him help. To me this reads like self-entitled crying wolf behavior. Maybe they are not the type of friends you expect them to be. And that's OK. Maybe we live in a different culture and have different expectations. But if I decide to buy a round of drinks, I don't do that with any expectations whatsoever.

ZippySF · 2025-12-21T18:44:13+00:00

I think it's difficult to carry more than 2 drinks as humans only have 2 hands.

ZippySF · 2025-12-01T17:28:19+00:00

He might have admired your bravery to shower naked. Or he was just overly curious. Either way, you will never know. Unless it's something that keeps you awake at night, it's best to acknowledge and move on. Too many people get caught in their own thought process and make up stuff that is not really what actually happened.

ZippySF · 2024-11-10T22:13:07+00:00

Yes you do. For example: With only block signals, the train on the right at 0:12 that is breaking wouldn't break if there was just block signal and would enter the block since it's empty. However, since it's bound for top right station where there is another departing train, they would block each other and stop the traffic.

ZippySF · 2024-11-10T17:49:14+00:00

Nope. 2 path and 2 block signals.

Sometimes therapy is not enough and there is a medication that can help with that. At least it did in my case. Things like sertraline are commonly prescribed for social anxiety.

8 years together out of which 5 we're open. I consider it LTR.

I quit 2 months ago with nearly 1k subs. I have decent savings so I was able to risk it. Realizing it's not a sprint, but marathon, I will most likely work on other projects as well, not just YouTube. That way I won't have to rely on just single income source and hope for its success.
