Ah, guys, didn’t most of us (over 50) have to take high school swim class in the nude? I did in the NW subs outside of Chicago. At that age we all had little peckers and many, like me had lots of “baby-fat”. So, not a fun thing, but you are now a GROWN UP, or NOT! Get a life. In a locker room you WILL see nude people – OMG, who would’a thought? Yup, some are fat, old, ugly, etc. And, some of the younger guys are “showing their ‘stuff’ for us to see”. Some are so scared to see another naked male is rather problematic. Then again, that’s another story for the psychs couch.
Get over it – a locker room IS the place for nude people.

You guys are goons. If these poor men knew you spent the entire time studying them and wondering why they don’t have pants on maybe they’d be in a bigger hurry. Maybe you girls should stop obsessing over other men’s penises because that type of behavior is unwelcome in the mens locker room.

On occasion I will use the men’s locker room and its facilities, but I don’t mind the nudity. In fact most men I have encountered are naked at some point.

For the most part, I would always change under a towel, walk around with a towel wrapped around my waist, or use the sauna or steam room with a towel draped over my privates. The last time I was in the men’s locker room while staying at a hotel in Abu Dhabi, I decided to branch out. After a long day of relaxing, I emerged form the steam room and walked over to the changing area to find another hairy Middle Eastern man with a towel wrapped around his waist. As I took out my clothes, I noticed him removing his towel, spreading his legs, and drying his crotch with pubes galore. This very vivid display of the male body all of a sudden seemed very normal and very comfortable. All of a sudden I too dropped my towel. For the first time I was naked in front of another man and I didn’t care if he could see my penis. Why should I? He had one too.

Also, as a boy and young man, we always swam naked in male-only environments — ymca, scout camp, high school and college. In scout camp, we’d trudge to the showerhouse usually with towels about our waists, and return to the campsite with towels around our necks, enjoying the breeze on our damp bodies. One time when it was raining hard, we showered at the campsite in the cold downpour. Scoutmaster too. Nudity was never a big deal. Why should it be? Anyone who was modest around other guys was mocked at as a sissy boy or worse. God only made two kinds, innies and outies. We all had outies, so no need to ogle or cover up.

I agree that it’s a locker room, a room for getting undressed and dressed, and for drying off after the shower, which of course is done naked. If you wear swim trunks in the shower, then you can’t soap down the dirtiest parts of your body. Duh. It’s not rocket science. At the campground, some little mama’s boy complained to his mommy that I stood there naked and shaved after my shower. Yeah. SO? She confronted me in front of the other campers and asked me why I “run around” naked in the locker room. I retorted, “Where would you prefer I go naked?” Everyone laughed and that shut the b**** up. ‘Nuf said!

showering in the lockeroom has never been a probablem for me b/c im not shy about my body. My Basketball and football team all were hung, like every including me. In high school id whip it out all the time for girls. I dont see a problem with looking at other guys penises whats the big deal honestly. Just as long ur touching it was the big.

For those young men who feel insulted because another guy might look at them…wait a few years. One day people will shield their eyes when they walk by.

It cracks me up that the longest, ongoing debate has been perpetuated by males that are obsessed by their own nudity. Trust me, this subject is not as fascinating as you all are making it out to be. For the exhibitionists and the shy alike, put on some clothes or don’t, it doesn’t really matter. But PLEASE stop portraying this issue as sign of manlihood. Real manliness is displayed in every day scenarios, usually when the clothes are on. So stop with the pissing contest :)
