How open are you guys in the locker room? (story inside)

[Torchwatch]

In an open plan changing room with gang showers it is normal to be naked and to be seen naked. When changing cubicles and shower curtains are introduced people get curious as to what is being hidden and do perverted things like drilling holes in the sides of cubicles and trying to peep around gaps in shower curtains.

It is healthy and harmless for a man to see other men naked, becoming obsessed by seeing something hidden creates perversion. There also comes a point where obsessively hiding our bodies can become perverse as well.

Have confidence that your body is not offensive, it won't frighten the horses, so just strip off and shower with all the others.

The phobia about nudity comes from concerns about embarrassment over sexual arousal or being uncomfortable with their own sexual orientation and being eyed over by other men.

If these issues are that overwhelming, just stay away from any venue that involves full or partial nudity. That includes swimming, hot tubs, communal showers, etc.

Reminds me of the old saying "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen".

Hi guys I am a 55 year old who is a fat guy who has swum since i was a kid in speedo trunks. I strip off my cloths put them in the locker and then slip my speedos on. Take a towel with my wash gear with me. After swimming, in the showers i strip off everything, shower and then wash my speedos out, before wrapping my towel around my waist to walk back to the locker room. Use the towel to dry off and then get dressed. No towel dance for me.

I'm just egalitarian, so I let men and women see the same amount of my nakedness. You can see me in my Speedos but no more than that.

The only towel dance I do is to spread a towel on the locker room floor to avoid contact with my bare feet. I always wear rubber sandals and haven't had athletes foot since I was a teenager.

Practice good public gym hygiene!

Testing time today at my local pool. The changing rooms are being refurbished, so that for the moment the men and women have to share a communal changing room! We were told to keep swimwear on at all times, and all cubicles needed to be used for changing. Except there are only four cubicles, so most of us had to change in and out of our clothes in the communal area, while women walked past.

Very European...

Speaking of European, I was on a beach in France when a German couple (male, female) arrived. They both stripped off completely and then put on speedos and a lady bikini respectively. Since it was a free beach with mixed clothed and naked users it seemed strange that having revealed their bodies they should bother covering them again as there was no longer anything to hide.
