when I was in high school we used the YMCA pool and everyone swam naked. In fact I think it was required by the Y. In my own pool I always swim naked and most of my friends do too. Its not a sexual thing, just an enjoyment of the freedom. Unfortunately with the advent the Homophobic and Pedophile there is a mistrust of a room full of naked men. Narrow minded or uninformed men think if they are naked with other men it implies they are gay, or asking for rape. However, I do have to agree with the people that are apprehensive about having young boys in a room full of naked strangers -- it is only prudent as a parent. At any rate, socially acceptable or not, I have drawers full of unworn speedos because I never bother to wear a suit.
