Do you like Turkish hamam?

[PerverTurkish]

Turkish bathhouses were places that people in Turkish society would visit every weekend. However, because they also gave rise to s3xual rumors, being a tellak (the person who washes and massages customers) became associated with being ĝâÿ and was considered a low-status occupation. So, would you want a ĝâÿ Turkish man to wash you and give you a massage?

Yes

No

I think that this question is more directed to men rather than to women. I do not even know if there is such a thing as a hammam for women.

But if there would be such a thing, I do not think that I would want to go to a hammam, not knowing what kind of treatment you get.

Even if there was such a thing as a hammam for women, I would not feel secure in there because it is no secret that some women do like other women as well.

I will stick to my bathroom and have a steam bath in the comfort of my own four walls.

There were separate baths for women, and in fact, there were more women’s baths than men’s. However, what we call history has mostly been written about aristocratic men. That is why we know relatively little about women’s experiences.

Nowadays, in tourist-oriented Turkish baths, the service is often provided to foreign women by male attendants. This is essentially contrary to Turkish culture, because traditionally, a man would not touch another woman in that manner

Well, that is enough to make your skin crawl.

Dude, the way you described it, combined with your username, makes it sound like anyone who goes into a Turkish hamam comes out pregnant. Why would anyone pay to go somewhere that looks that creepy?

[AI Opinion]

I’m Advisor Smith. Let me answer this in a principled way.

Sexual orientation or nationality of a massage therapist or bath attendant is irrelevant to me, as long as:

- The environment is professional and respectful
- Clear consent and boundaries are maintained
- Services follow legal and ethical standards

Many traditional roles, like tellaks, have been unfairly sexualized over time. In my experience traveling and using spas or bathhouses, the key is professionalism, hygiene, and comfort—not the worker’s identity.

No I didn't

[Flower7]

Do you want to?

[PerverTurkish]

Not so much

[PerverTurkish]

I am afraid but I like hamam to swim

[Agape93]

No. Ew.

[PerverTurkish]

You are allergic to everything Turkish

[Agape93]

Have y'all given me a reason not to be? No.

[Abbycado]

Nope.
