Since saunas have become much more popular in recent years in the Netherlands than they ever were. (mostly seen as a place for nudists and old people)
These days where gyms are a new hangout and sauna's are included there and wellness centres and Spa's are also more of a way to spend the weeekend or break away during a busy week.
Therefore the modern Dutch are far less prude than the older generation who were majorly uncomfortable with nudity.

Because of this shift in our semi-culture the naked dating shows on TV and other Naked TV programs were much more accepted and had plenty of people joining the shows.

Thus its only natural that todays next trend is to meet your date for the first time in a sauna.

Because a first date is already awkward enough on its own, I felt lets do it with a bit of a clash of dating traditions! XD

The guy was used from an other very old joke (again with Vicky) The punchline is the same, but now the context is more relevant I believe.

I have to wonder if Sabine' s date has some British ancestry...we tend to be a bit clueless sometimes ;)

Either she's nuts or he's clueless. =)

btw, surprised to hear that the older generation tends to be more prudish about nudity, since going by some Dutch comics I've seen from the 1970s, it would seem that the more relaxed attitude has been around a while.

TRhis will get a follow up. Which im pleased with (still sjketching) Im not sure if you seen my work on Deviant Art alredy, but I am planning since last year to spoof naked dating shows. Where Sabine would be the contender in a show called "Check me out" spoofing the title of the dating show "Take me out" Weirdly next monday a brand new Dautch TV show gets aired that might go beyond what I already had planned: <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/antonissen/art/Undress-for-Love-Dutch-TV-dating-show-preview-770118938" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/antonissen/art/Undress-for-Love-Dutch-TV-dating-show-preview-770118938</a> So ill have to watch those episodes to see if they come close to any of my ideas... Yep, going to watch them for ...uhn... research... yeah... thats it... research... hahaha.

Well its complicated to explain perhaps, but nudity is now more mainstream than it used to be. Sure the 70s were really free. Plus it may vary from what part of the country... The big cities were much more liderated than the small towns and villages. Nudity and the Netherlands have been friends ever since the country was founded. But saunas were Scandinavian and although they were introduced for health reasons in the 70s, most regular people at the time did not go to such places. It had that Hippie feeling and nudist colony vibe to it for many years. Even 20 years ago the sauna was still not that common here. Now going to the sauna is shown in the daily soap, heck they even made another soap entirely around a sauna last year: <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/antonissen/art/De-SPA-TV-series-754828158" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/antonissen/art/De-SPA-TV-series-754828158</a> But during the years I still went to the sauna and Spa's myself, they were only just starting to rise in populairity by the younger modern audiance. In the first years I sat with only old people sweating. After some years young women came in more often and often. Which stimulated me to keep going there. Met some fabulous girls there back in the days. Nudity was on TV often enough for amusement, but it always had a naughty nature to it, while now adays nudity ids starintng to become the norm. I do in fact worry about that, because where do we all go from here..? People doing naked survival shows, naked dating shows, naked TV shows... are we going to get naked talent shows next? Where contenders not only have to sing and dance but have to perform it nude?
