Ewwwwwww. Is this actually a thing?
My parents have a hot tub, and know they use it regularly (and my kids love it to use it when we visit) but I was unaware of these social events.

I really hate hot tubs personally for the reasons you mention - the only time I will use one is during a ski trip.

Seriously. They are very gross.

If you’ve ever cleaned one, you know why. You put chemicals in it that make all the shed skin cells clump together in a giant blob and it’s the grossest thing ever. We don’t like swimming in other peoples’ dead skin soup.

What????????

I stick to grottoes.

Wait - you say you would go in naked with company over, and then chastise OP for “blowing this way out of proportion”? Hey, have all the naked parties you want, but recognize that you are outside the social norm. You shouldn’t expect everyone to be cool with that.

did you miss the part where I said “ we have never invited anyone to join us”

Hot tubs are a way to get the swinger conversation started.
Get the guests lubed up with a few drinks...

that one PP with the nude hot tubbing is at an advanced level... it is dark.... once things get going, do you turn on the lights?

Hot tubs are gross. Pube soup!

Loudoun?

I posted this question and I live in Loudoun and this is unheard of.

I don’t know anybody with a hot tub. They’re tacky. Get better friends.

I have a standing rule that I only get into hot tubs if the people already in them are naked.

Otherwise, no.

I am pretty sure the appeal is that they get you in swim suits, relaxed, and drunker than normal. Sounds like something late 30s and 40-something unreformed frat bros and sorority girls would be into.

I *do* understand the appeal of a large jacuzzi when you’re out West skiing and want to relax your muscles after a strenuous day on the cold slopes. But a random weekend gathering in the DMV? Pass.

Yes grandma you’re a stick in the mud. Just don’t take a bathing suit if you don’t want to get in. It’s not that hard.

PP, you completely misunderstood the post! Lol.

+1 Where did you get the idea that PP us having naked parties? You created that out of thin air.

I love both our pool and our hot tub! But, I don’t invite people over to sit in the hot tub. That’s my little piece of heaven.
