Even if they did get naked, it would be a safe best no one would be walking around aroused at least. A royal puke purple environment is a natural boner killer.
Men who feel uncomfortable with nudity and seeing other men's junk in locker rooms, Why?

Sigh. What a poor proofreader I am: Obviously I meant "Tic-Tacs". Kinda ruins the joke if you spell it RONG!

Totally agree. The arousal is because you've been taught that nudity is risque and related to sex. But it doesn't have to be at all. As you get used to being naked in these situations, and don't think of it as anything special, the problem of being aroused will disappear. As Jon implies, there's a big difference between your dick perking up a bit while you're in the shower and a bit nervous, and openly standing there trying to knock one out while starting at some guy. Don't be the kind of perv who does the latter and it'll all be fine.
Society made us react this way. Its ingrained in us.....dont ever look below the waist.
And of course looking below the waist is the FIRST thing guys do when around other naked guys. Automatically.
Its like riding a bike on the side walk as you get close to the crack between the sidewalk and the grass....no matter how hard you try to steer away the bicycle tire is pulled in.
Don't understand how anyone can feel uncomfortable around other men in locker rooms. We all have a penis, there are over 4 billion on earth, why on earth would you be uncomfortable seeing a few others?
I go to nude beaches and naturist clubs, I've heard people say they don't have beach bodies so feel uncomfortable around fit and slim people, yet they were entirely comfortable spending the day nude.

I feel a little uncomfortable as I'm not really used to it, but actually I quite enjoy the slightly weird awkwardness of letting random strangers see my cock. I've been to a nude beach and I can't get over how much I enjoyed having my big cock out for anyone to see!
Although naturism isn't really like exhibitionism, there is certainly a good feeling of being nude around others. To see and to be seen is compelling. Can't say I have much to show when on a beach, but I don't really care who sees.

I think the difference is whether other people are naked or not. The thrill of exhibitionism is doing something you shouldn't. When someone hasn't been to a nude beach or other venue where everyone is naked, they might still think of it with that thrill of doing something illicit. But, in actually doing it, it quickly becomes normal, you forget you're naked and just relax and enjoy the freedom.
When I'm in a locker room, I don't even really think about getting naked. It's just something I do as a means to get showered and changed. The only time it becomes awkward is when it feels like I'm surrounded by people who are acting differently, such as being the only one naked in the showers while there are several others in there still in swimming costumes (I've even seen at least one guy have a t-shirt on as well in there before!) I think that's why some of us - myself included - might get a little annoyed by a trend towards people covering up, because it feels like it is being forced on us as well by implicit social pressure.
The first time I went to a naked event - a naked disco in London - I was nervous before I went in, but once there, it actually felt awkward being the one all bundled up in clothes (especially as it was a pretty chilly October). After having to wander through dozens of nude people to get to the changing area, you stop worrying about getting naked and actually want to hurry up and get naked like everyone else!
I'm glad to see this thread because I've been wondering about this topic, too. Like maybe I somehow missed an 11th commandment of "though shalt not show your dick at the gym." When I was growing up, and in my college years, NOT showing going naked at the gym usually meant you had a small dick or were worried about getting aroused. There was sort of this unwritten "real men don't cover up" mentality. But in the past several years, I've seen a lot more of the towel dance people mention here. I've sort of struck a compromise when I'm changing in the lockerroom where I lean forward, take my shorts off, and wrap my towel around me as I'm standing up, so as not to offend anyone's delicate sensibilities, but still not give in completely to puritanism. I've also noticed quite a few guys who, frankly, no one would really be that interested in seeing completely naked who seem to be worrying about it the most. Sometimes it's hard to keep from laughing at how much effort they put into it, but at the end of the day, everyone should just do what they're comfortable with.
Because it makes me feel like he will feel insecure or self-conscious about his penis when its looked at. Sure, he's nude and exposing it and surely dudes will see it. But I still don't want him to know that I'm looking at it. There is a "look" and then a "gaze" and sometimes people who are the object of either don't know if its a look or a gaze, and might feel objectified if they don't know. Kind of like how some men "make eyes" at men and don't understand why they get gay-oriented attention. They just don't really know what they're doing with their eyes. I don't have any issues looking at penises, in fact they are wonderful and special and amazing!! But in person I try to keep it chill

I’m usually the only one that gets naked in the locker room. I just do it to get changed and go to the shower. I noticed the early 20s guys look but they don’t even shower after. It seems ok for them to check me out but they’re too scared to get nude themselves. Men have surely gotten soft and insecure. Yes there are gay guys that change as well and I catch them looking but it isn’t as if they come and grope me. I got ringworm once after wrestling and not showering and I’ll never not shower after a workout again. It took a couple months to resolve. I wonder if the early 20s guys will still be towel dancing when they’re in their 30s and up? One thing for sure is wrestlers don’t seem shy to bare it all. It was fun to have water fights in the gang showers totally nude. Everyone saw everyone’s parts and it wasn’t a big deal. Some guys were bigger and some smaller but it was more of a bonding thing than anything.
In response to your question. I think it’s a generational issue
I grew up in the late 70s early 80s and everyone had to shower after gym and then on to college in the early 80s where the all male dorms have a large shower room for everyone on the floor
We had no choice and now we are the older adults
Fast forward to the late 90s early 2000s and things dramatically changed and young adult males no longer shower after gym or have private showers
how s the current military set up?

So what as long as their faces are censored, it just a butt or a cock. No one should be scared of that

Being the Army and seeing how different responses are with how men grew up. I had one battle buddy who was very modest because he was raise by all his sisters (he was the youngest and only boy) after his mother died. He had no male influence in life since his elementary days. Then I had another battle buddy grow up with 4 or 5 brothers (he was somewhere in the middle of birth order) and he had no privacy. Him and brothers changed, shared showers at times, and just seen each other naked. Myself I am son a from a divorced family and mom raised me, but, my dad and I had shared showers and changed in front of each other also with my uncles at the gym or pool. Modesty was quickly did away with when I was in elementary school when went to have swimming lessons and changed in front of boys my age in stead of my dad and uncles. My dad went with me the first time to make me comfortable to get naked in front of strangers. After that I was unstoppable. Depends on how you ate raisec.

We have a gym at work so I usually go in the late afternoon ( between 3-5) on what seems to be slower days. At most there have been a couple of people in the lockerroom when I am in there. I workout, strip naked at my locker, walk to the showers, towel in hand. Get clean, walk back to my locker, towel over my shoulder. At my locker I put on lotion, deodorant and cologne nude. The one or two people that "may" be in there with me don't seem bothered. It feels great!!!
