ROFL, I guess this is probably true to most westeners first experience at an onsen.... well, at least those who already knew about it before going, not those who knew nothing, got there, and then suddenly realized everyone was going in naked and no one was wearing trunks or something. xD
It didn't bother me much, personally. I mean, it did, in the sense that I was never totally comfortable walking around naked, but once you're in the bath, you're in.
Guess I was fairly lucky too... the few times I got to an onsen it was mostly with family and the onsen was relatively empty. Even then, it was family that I wasn't super close to.... still better than complete strangers though.
Fat japanese descendant guy with small penis anyways, I knew from start I'd be pretty unremarkable and just disappear in the background steam, so. :P
