Public Pools/Hot Tubs

I've never had a problem with this.

Germophobes?

Turns out we are about 90% bacteria.

So none of you will get into a pool with other people?

Do you stay in hotel rooms?

Pools, yes. Hot tubs, no.

How do you guys get past the fact that getting in them means you are in people soup?

I don't, so I bought my own hot tub. I'm still getting into people soup, but it's my people soup.

Actually I never had/have a problem with them. I had a health club once where there was a big hot tub and I used it all of the time. And most people used it naked. I was getting into hot tubs with fat hairy 70 year old men, who probably leaked. Still didn't bother me.

If you get into a pool, I don't get why you wouldn't get into a hot tub. They are both chlorinated up. Now you want something to stay out of - Lake Michigan. I won't go anywhere near that [expletive] thing, at least from Milwaukee to Chicago.

I'm a pool/hot tub whore.

Edit: It seems like people are way more germaphobic these days than they used to be. I understand having hand sanitizer readily available at baseball games, grocery carts, etc. It makes sense. I'm just not that concerned for the reasons luke mentioned. We're all teeming with bacteria.

Sometimes I get itchy in mine, but otherwise no big deal. When I get itchy I test the water. Supposed to be proactive but I'm not. I just dump some crap in once a week or so and I haven't gotten any sores or anything that a little salve didn't take care of.

I think that's a different kind of people soup.

That brings up a different question. If you had to choose, what would you rather swim in, diluted urine or diluted (can this even be diluted?) spooge?

I guarantee that no straight man on the forum is going to say he would choose having someone else's spooge - no matter how diluted - coming anywhere near his body over urine.
