I guess we should probably think of an alternative that's less implicative of het, but I get the feeling "baby dick on page 8" wouldn't go down very well.

If people here weren't so sensitive, we wouldn't need those dick tags in the first place. Also great read xD

^I don't really think it has to do with 'sensitivity' though. Some people just don't like dicks in their yuri, and I personally think its nice to have those kinds of warnings.

That is exactly what I'm talking about. I don't like dicks either, but some hate them so much they can't even handle seeing them once at 1 page and go all angry if they weren't warned. The length people go to wanting to keep yuri pure and not even having male characters in it, cos it by default pollutes yuri is getting ridiculous in some cases.

I was debating on whether to tag it or not. It's pretty silly.

The "Dicks on page X" tags always make me laugh, all the more so when it's a joke.

This story made me legitimately uncomfortable. No not because of the kid that was just silly, but because if I had had to do this when I was a small child, I would have been traumatized.

It's possible you would have, but when I lived there, lots of people did that and it wasn't traumatizing at all for the kids, that I could see. Yes, Japanese kids, for whatever reason, are more prone to painful shyness, but somehow that didn't translate to trauma. I mostly didn't go to bath places where it was all ages and with kids on both the men's and women's sides - as the doujin says, mostly the women's side - nor did I mostly go to mixed bath houses, but I did go to some. The attitude and atmosphere were very friendly - I would compare it to sauna culture in Russia or Finland.

In this case, I would guess Niko just said "Don't worry Kotarou, Maki is not used to baths and was just being silly," and that would be that, Kotarou is so young he's got no attention span.

Why would this traumatize you? Getting naked around your family members should be normal, it helps you get more comfortable around them.

Here's the thing - this is already a funny doujin. You tagged it and made it funnier. Therefore, it was brilliant.

But see the author's note: he says he was comfortable around his family, but when he went on the men's side with three relatives as a youngster and saw his classmates he was very uncomfortable.

So in a way he agrees with the commenter. above. Nonetheless on balance he says it was a good experience. I share that opinion though i was in my 20s when I started occasionally using public baths for various reasons in Japan.

On Edit: I thought it might be a pseudonym but Baka-updates, which is usually very good on this stuff, says Sakurai Makoto is, indeed, a male.

"Traumatize" was a poor choice of words, I apologize (My mom throws that term around a lot). I mean when I was a young child I would have found being naked in a public facility, especially around people of the opposite sex, extremely embarrassing. What lowkey freaked me out was the author's note because I assumed he was female.

I suppose that makes sense. It's a bit hypocritical of me to say that too, since I'm too shy to even change around other women.

I can imagine that since Cotarou is so used to being around girls all the time and even comfortable enough to be naked around them, he'll probably have an easier time with the ladies when he gets older. Or maybe Nico ended up rubbing off all her gayness to her siblings, who knows.
