So I returned to the gym for the first time since Covid and this was my experience at LA Fitness in the DFW area. As I walked into the gym the place was packed with men on various machines, playing volleyball and basketball. I walked into the locker room and the place was basically empty. I stripped down to put on my bathing suit to swim some laps. I walked to the shower to rinse off and there was one guy in the individual shower stalls with the curtains completely closed. After my swim, I returned to the showers and took my suit off then stepped into a stall without closing my curtain. One guy was across from me with his curtain completely closed. Eventually, I closed my curtain as well and finished showering. Once I finished, I opened my curtain and reached for my towel. The guy across from me was just finishing and also had his curtain open. As we both dried off I made no attempt to keep myself covered. He, on the other hand, made sure to keep his penis hidden as he finished toweling off. Then, while still inside his stall, he wrapped the towel around his waist and reached for a pair of underwear and did the towel dance making sure he was not exposed while inside a shower stall in a men's locker room! What is wrong with people?? I promise I was not obviously staring with fixated eyes. With so many men in the gym and only seeing one partially naked man I don't think most guys use the locker room at gyms to shower anymore. It's certainly not the parade of nude guys you once used to see in the 70s inside the showers at the local swimming pool or gym or camping facility.
Packed gym? In Texas? Land of the unvaccinated?
What are you nuts? Covid-19 infection just around the corner...
In honor and gratitude of my college gym reopening (thank God!) I’d like to offer some new essays, exploring the behavior of naked college boys in the locker room.
Matthew
Age: 21
Height: 6’1’’
Weight: around 220
Matthew is a broad-shouldered, strongly built boy with a square face, perpetual five-o’clock shadow with green eyes and close-cut light brown hair. He played football in high school, is a member of the college marching band, is a theatre major and music minor, and is training to become an acrobat.
He also has a heart condition, an irregular heartbeat which means he has to get frequent medical check- ups, take medication, and wears a heart-monitoring device on his wrist. He’s an extremely talented, diligent young man who is used to adversity.
Let’s give Matthew a moment to kindly disrobe for us. That’s right Matthew, we’ll help you work your way out of that sweaty shirt.
We can see Matthew has a well-muscled, hairy chest, a little bit of belly fat (but we can still see the shape of his abs), and well-defined, hairy buttocks.
I had considered adding Matthew’s penis to the curio collection because it is blunt and beautiful, a short, block-shaped battering ram. A penis often conveys a sense of a man’s character, and from his penis we can read Matthew’s resilience, toughness, honesty and love for life.
I remember once he came up to me, at the beginning of autumn quarter, and gave me an unexpected hug, clapping me on the back a few times as he held me. I felt that those rapid back slaps might give me some insight into Matthew’s lovemaking habits. The fact that he lives under “the sword of Damocles” with his health condition, makes me believe that his copulation style would be a little frantic, with quick, rapid thrusts. He might not have that much time to pass down his genes, so he would have to make each lovemaking session count. It would be an instinctual habit with him, so even if he wore a condom I think we would see the same steady pounding.
I think afterwards, he might cry and need his partner to hold and reassure him, and cradle him to sleep.
I hope Matt finds someone to love him, not just for his body, but for his gentle smile, artistic nature, and determination. Matthew needs affection as much as he needs sex.

Holy hormones Batman!
My college gym locker room opened last week and… the boys are back!
Welcome home, my shy, handsome colts! My bashful, horny, naughty beautiful boys!
Adam’s apples, pimples, backpacks, sweaty armpits, body odor, new friends, new life, hanging out, freedom from mom and dad, young adult bodies, flexing in the gym, plaid shirts, khakis, sweat, tests, essays, stress
The joy of the locker room, slender hips, exposed chests and abs, casually dropped towels, name-calling, loving horseplay, hard, hairy or smooth butts…
And hold it! What’s that sound?!
It’s the College Boy Ding-A-Ling Train…and it’s coming our way!
(ding-a-ling-a-ding-a-dong)
The biggest erector set in tarnation!
There’s nothing LITTLE about this engine, no way Jose!
AWOOGA!!!

Absolutely accurate, in my experience, even before covid, and I haven't been back in a locker room since but I certainly do not think guys are more comfortable in locker rooms now than they were 20-40 years ago. The opposite, in fact.
This towel dance should be a federal crime.
And yet, sadly, not a jockstrap in sight, I'll wager. I live in a college town and the cross country runners are out: defined abs on slim dudes. I don't actually prefer that type, but I do admire it.
I did see one much beefier fellow in mid-thigh relatively clingy shorts running shirtless last week .I actually pulled my car into a lot and turned around so I could look at him head on. Magnificent. But I was a little saddened because I knew he, being of that generation, certainly wasn't wearing a jock and probably never had.
I did also have a few moments last week in a packed elevator at the large gym, surrounded by studs.
Nice writing, opinionman. I always value your perspective.
I’ve noticed a beautiful new habit among college boys that I haven’t seen before, which I’d like to share.
It seems like the towel dance is going out of style. Most boys don’t bother with it.
The new locker room fashion is what I call the shirt switcheroo. Let me illustrate this.
I saw a college kid, an incoming freshman, in the locker room the other day. He had short, dark hair and was of slight build. He was about five six or five seven in height. A little crook in his nose. Delicate features, thick eyebrows. He was wearing a light jacket and a white t-shirt and dark slacks. I guess he wanted to get changed into his gym clothes. He removed his shirt, took off his shoes and unbuckled his pants. He folded everything nicely. I think he was aware of my presence, because I was in the row of lockers behind him and there are mirrors at the end and also on the walls. Therefore we could see each other.
I thought he was going to do the towel dance to remove his boxers, but he did something else entirely. He put his hands to the top of his boxers, as if getting ready to pull them down, but instead he grabbed his gym shirt and put it on. Then he pulled his boxers down to reveal his petite but solid college boy behind. I got a good look at it. He bent down low.
The thing is, he didn’t want to get totally naked in front of a stranger, but he didn’t want to do the towel dance either. So he decided to just put a shirt on and then pretend that it would hide his handsome posterior (it didn’t).
I want to digress a little, but I'll get back to the point.
One thing I want to say is that young adult males, college boys, are hyper-social pack animals. They desperately want inclusion and belonging. They look to each other constantly for reinforcement and guidance. That’s why some older women, cougars, who are drawn to college guys for companionship and (yes) sex, find that they have to constantly keep the boy grounded. Sometimes, even during intense copulation, the woman will stop the young man and ask him what he’s thinking about. And he’ll blush and say, “Well, I was thinking about what how I’m going to describe tonight in my next text message!”
The boy I’m talking about spent an hour in the locker room just texting his friends in his boxers! That’s how much he depends on his social network for meaning and connection. I’m sure he could be a great lover, but his partner will have to be patient with him. College boys need to realise that excellent sex requires an investment of emotional energy as much as sexual energy. Stay in the moment. Try to last as long as you can. Smile and whisper “thanks” in your partner’s ear at the end.
Back to what I call the shirt faux cover up. I don’t mind it as it has afforded me a view of some great asses and yes, lots of PRETTY BIG (ahem)!
I see this young man quite often in the locker room and gym. I’m hoping to see his frontal equipage, his virility, in the near future.

Blonde guys out in numbers.Invited back to my by house.Drinks are flowing for 21 yo.Pants are off.Midnight nude swims cuming.
OK last post for the day and then I have to retire for the night.
A few days ago, I saw Zander, a sophomore member of the men’s tennis team in the locker room. He looked tired, after a hard workout. He’s a tall boy, around 6’4”, with close-cut dark brown hair and a somewhat swarthy, Mediterranean complexion. He’s one of the college’s champion tennis players. He has a big swing, in more ways than one!
Today I saw him up close and saw he has a chin piercing, a tiny red gemstone. Surprisingly the deep red color enhances his masculinity. I was surprised when he took his shirt off, because his chest and abdomen are covered in coarse hair. That’s unusual for a college boy. I could spend all day running my hands from his sternum to his navel and back again.
He took a deep burgundy towel out of his bag and dropped his drawers, covering his prodigious manhood. I only had a glimpse of it.
He chose one of the stalls and took a long, leisurely shower. Afterwards, he also dried off in the stall and sauntered back to his locker wrapped in his red towel.
The stalls are so narrow. Why didn’t he dry off at his locker? I thought this was just excessive modesty. I was afraid our tennis star was about to show off his towel dance skills, or maybe try to hide some of his modesty by putting on a shirt first, but he did neither.
Zander just opened the towel let it fall onto the bench. He faced the mirror for a minute or two.
I had two impressions of his penis:
“Wow! That’s GI-NORMOUS!”
“Gee, it’s really beautiful.”
My first reaction was just a visceral response to his sheer size. It was like a trembling waterfall, in that it stuck out at a bit of an angle before tumbling straight down. I can tell the kid gets a lot of use out of it.
My second response was more about aesthetics; it had more to do with his ruby chin piercing and his towel. He’s secure enough in his manhood to wear red, both in his chin and in his towel. A little bit of refinement can increase a man’s sex appeal. That’s why he chose to dry off in the stalls. There’s a right time for everything. He didn’t need to hide his manhood, nor did he need to flaunt it. He dropped his towel when he no longer needed it. At that point, people could respond to his naked body however they wanted to. I reacted with awe at his size and prowess. And I reacted with newfound respect for his delicacy, decency and nuanced masculinity.
I think he has a couple more years left of tennis eligibility, so I hope to glean some insights into his mode and style of copulation. But that’s an essay for another day. It’s getting late.

In the play "Feiffer's People" by comic writer Jules Feiffer, he has this exact scenario: The actor turns to the audience, describes how he's making out with this girl and then, sheepishly, admits... "And in the midst of all this, all I could think of was how soon I could tell my buddies."
I saw that my freshman week of college and have remembered vividly ever since. It says a LOT about the male sexual psyche.

I am a 20 year old male and I thought people would like to hear about being nude in locker rooms from a younger person. Personally I normally cover up and change my underwear in a towel and I think most people my age would agree. I’ve been through high school pe lessons and we never got fully nude or showered at all and if people would shower they would wear underwear or swimming shorts due to there being stereotypes of being ‘gay’ if you are naked or see another persons dick (which I totally disagree on). I think this has a big impact because I go swimming regularly and have to change in the locker rooms with other men and I find that older men walk around nude and shower nude as I’ve heard that when they were younger it was normal to shower nude infrint of your class mates, but younger people my age tend not to do this. I’ve been swimming regularly for a couple months now and when I first started I would completely cover up and make sure no one else would see my dick but now I’ve been going for a while and I’ve been not as secretive and have been showing off my dick and ass more because I feel more comfortable. I still would cover up if anyone around me is my age as it’s a bit awkward to see each other naked but if there’s older people that are also naked I am usually naked as well. I hope this helped people understand a younger person’s experience of being nude in high school and in the locker rooms. And I hope this made sense as well.
This is the saddest story since "Old Yeller." What happened, man? When did the idea of showering with shorts on, or doing the towel dance become a thing? What are you and your generation so scared of? Mockery? Appearing less "manly" cuz your dick's not as big as another guy's? If this is widespread in your generation, I feel sorry for you and your peers. Being naked around other men has been the norm since the cavemen days. it's actually good for male sexual psyche.
I suggest you cultivate your positive changes and continue to strip NAKED and shower naked and even walk around naked. You'll feel a lot freer, I guarantee.

I know you didn't start the trend and appreciate you sharing the reality of most of your generation.
I'm happy to hear that you've been able to loosen up around guys who are comfortable being nude. I didnt play sports and showering was pretty rare after PE in my high school and it took me a long time to get used to it. I hope, like me, you're glad you got comfortable with it. It seemed very liberating to me to be comfortable without clothes around other guys.
I don't care who sees me now and I hope you can start to be an example to other guys your age that it's okay to leave to parts that make you a man exposed where there are other men.
I remain grateful to have grown up in a time when we all showered after sports and we all wore Bike jocks and guys got over being naked and NO ONE--but NO ONE--did the towel dance in the locker room.
Hi all, here's another essay on the lovemaking and locker room habits of college guys.
For The Love Of College Boys
For The Love Of College Boys
Funny to read all the posts about you guys (guess mostly American) being frustrated with lack of nudity in locker rooms, because it's very different in Russia. I had a fetish of seeing guys naked in lockers too, but only when I was younger and didn't go to gym myself. Since I started to do it has become quite casual to me, because:
- About 95% of the guys strip naked in locker rooms here. No one ever does a towel dance. Well maybe I've seen it couple of times in my life - it's very rare.
- Most of the guys take shower after the gym and they do it naked. Also never seen curtains in a gym shower - it's always just stalls.
- Most of the gyms have a small sauna here. I would say about 80% sit there naked (on top of their towel). And 20% cover themselves with a towel, even though they shower naked anyway, lol. Don't know why, but still, they are minority.
And this is how it used to be in America. Something really fucked up entered the American male psyche in the past few decades. Even the phrase "shower naked" reveals how screwed up it is. Isn't "shower" by definition "Naked"? I guess Russia has us beat on this one.

Personally, I am more comfortable. I am not sure about other guys though. I believe people's comfort level is fairly mixed. Some guys will be fully nude while others will have on shorts or a towel. The open showers are different though. Most guys in the showers will be naked. Only a certain few will shower with shorts on.
