Japanese Sento and Skinship

Sento (or銭湯) is the name for a Japanese communal bathhouse. As many provincial or even basic city centre accommodations do not have a bathroom it is still a day-to-day occurrence for many Japanese people to visit these seemingly archaic spots. Sento is pay per entrance and prices are usually very cheap, less than a couple of pounds a visit. Since more and more Japanese homes have baths there has been a gradual decline in the use of Sento bathhouses. However many, especially older people, relish the social experience of Sento and defend its value.

In Japanese culture there is a theory that physical proximity, or intimacy, fufills the basic human need for emotional intimacy and sharing a space with other naked humans provides this much desired experience otherwise absence in many people’s lives. This is refereed to by Japanese people as ‘skinship’, a pseudo English term for the fulfilment of this need.

In the West we often experience feelings of extreme loneliness, even when enjoying an avid social life, when physical intimacy is lacking in our private lives. The absence of another human meeting our sexual needs is sorely felt and can have adverse psychological affects. In the worst case scenario loneliness can lead to feelings of isolation and even depression. In keeping with the Japanese notion of ‘skinship’, erotic massage it is widely reported to alleviate these feelings of lack and is a valuable tool for maintaining a healthy lifestyle alongside a busy schedule that may not allow for romantic relationships.
