HELSINKI A sports centre near Helsinki which tried to introduce a mixed sauna has had to wall off the sexes after some men failed to contain their ardour, the management said yesterday.
"We thought, if they can be mixed in central Europe, why not in Finland?" said Mr Kirsi Marja Mustakari, a manager at the centre in Toolo. "Unfortunately, a few men could not control themselves." He said the new wall might have to be electrified.
