European example shows it’s perfectly fine, though. And I don’t think American culture is so much different it cannot be imported one way or another.
Personally, I find it very convenient since I go to the gym with my partner, and we can hang out together not only while training, but also relaxing after. This also helps coordinate our actions, so we don’t sit and wait for each other.
That said, separate gender saunas should exist too for people who prefer them. They’re fine, too!

You focus on your conveniences rather than the expressed discomforts of others.

Not at all. I’m not saying separate gender saunas should be abolished, I merely make a case for the alternative.
When me and my partner chose a gym to go to, a mixed sauna was among the positives. Neither of us would like it if it were separate.
Should you choose one, you’re free to stick to those with separate options. It’s alright. I simply addressed the concern of potential sexual abuse happening in mixed saunas - on my watch, there were exactly zero instances of any inappropriate behavior. If this doesn’t help - so be it, separate options never went anywhere. Enjoy what brings you comfort and safety.

That’s a fancy gym that has 3-4 different types of sauna accomodations. Hoity-toity
