Muscle relaxation. Hiding from your creditors. And if you like to squeeze blackheads, it's easier after a good shvitz.
If you start to feel lightheaded or woozy or have visual disturbances or trouble breathing, get out immediately and drink some water.
Contrary to popular belief, a sauna will not make you lose weight. You may weigh a bit less when you walk out than when you walked in, but it's only dehydration caused by sweating. The water will be replaced as soon as you drink--and you must drink, because dehydration can be dangerous.
A reputable place will have a sign posted warning you not to stay in more than X minutes. I've forgotten what it is, but newbies who aren't used to it should stay less.

Saunas are best viewed as an opportunity for same-gender bonding, not unlike sitting side-by-side at the beauty shop. They are useless for weight control, frizz up your hair if it's the steam type, and dry out your skin if it's the dry type. If for some reason you can't get into a hot shower after exercising, the sauna's heat will help relax your muscles and prevent soreness, but really the main benefit is the social aspect. Stripped of the external distractions and camouflage of clothing, makeup and accessories, you are as genuine as you're ever going to be outside of your shrink's office.
