Towel Dance and Speedos: NCAA Zone Meet

I don't think this should even be an issue.

To each their own and what they're comfortable with.

Some guys/girls just didn't grow up being free/confident with being naked in front of others. Modesty and privacy should be respected.

I am sorry if my original post came off as judgmental or overly crude and critical. It was not meant to be. I realize we all have different modesty limits. I still think the phenomenon is unusual - to be in a little speedo for 1 to 6 hours a day in front of whomever when practicing or at a meet, but covered up in the locker room.
Either way - here is a little eye candy for you - one of Purdue's divers - the suit he is wearing is one of two or three competition suits I've seen the guys wear (plain black with gold P is another). Sorry but this guy is...very straight, very Catholic (based on facebook-twitter-instagram), but he's only 18 and diving quite well for a freshman!

I still don't get your point. There's a massive difference between showing your genitals or not.

I think I've made my point, but I still find it interesting, I never said people have to agree or say I'm wrong for thinking so.

It's interesting to see culture differences when travelling. In some parts of the world, it's mandatory to shower nude before entering a pool and enclosed showers aren't always provided. Spas in Germany often forbid clothing in the sauna area and require that everyone, men and women, be nude.

Personally, I don't think anyone should feel the need to cover up in a locker room. I certainly don't. It's nice to see parents that set a good example by letting it hang free in the locker room. Modesty tends to learned.

The banning of clothing in German mixed saunas is perfectly logical, German husbands are concerned as to who is viewing and becoming "interested" in their wives. A naked man demonstrating "interest" may immediately be spotted and dealt with, whilst a pervert in baggy shorts could get away with it. So imagine the happy scene; naked single men avoiding looking at women while their husbands stare at the single men in anticipation of an indecent reaction.

In traditional British naturist clubs single men are not welcome, the members are concerned that the single men will either show interest in their wives or may be gay and therefore interested in the men. The members of traditional British naturist clubs tend to be rather old and heading for extinction making it unlikely that the younger single men queueing at the locked gates would show any interest in their wives.
