Nudity in the locker room

[Jon1971]

I have a new understanding for why older men are so comfortable with being nude in the locker room. I was told by an older gent that guys from his generation would think you were "effeminate" if you were shy about being naked. The more I thought about this, the more I realized that this was a not so offensive way of saying someone was a homosexual and back in his day the worst thing a man could be called was gay as it was something that no man wanted to be labeled. Of course we live in a world that is much more accepting of other sexualities that are not heterosexual but still a lot of men who are younger tend to be less likely to be nude in the locker room and sometimes bypass taking a shower after a workout out of fear that someone might take a peek at them. I'm a young man but I'm not shy about nudity as I always shower after my workouts. The amount of time that I would be nude in the locker room is very brief however and I do find that older men spend a much longer time parading around the locker room in the buff as if they would if they were at home.

Older men know that after you towel off you have to wait a few minutes before you put your clothes on for your skin to completely air dry. I find if I towel off and immediately put my underwear on, it keeps my balls moist, and can lead to unpleasantness and odor - all of which can be avoided by just making sure everything is dry beforehand.

When I change in the locker room I get completely nude and then go to the showers. Very few other guys seem to do the same. Lots of guys don’t even seem to shower which is gross. Why is that? They’ll check me out but they won’t get nude themselves.

lack of confidence i guess.

im the same as you, im the one who walks around completely nude and talks to people in lockerrooms ha. always been that way

Take clothes off at locker. Take a towel with me but walk naked to showers and sauna. Why be shy?

This should be the norm and indeed used to be in a lot of locker rooms. I do recall a guy in college stripping and then wrapping a towel around his waste before heading to the open showers. which were about 8 feet away from the door of the changing room. I never understood that.

I do not think that I have ever covered up. I am proud of what I have. Of course I can see if a man is in the small category he might not want others to see him nude.

Yes, it's understandable if a guy has a tiny penis, but on the other hand, the ideal would be that no one would comment and the small-wicked guy wouldn't worry about it.
For about a month I went to a community health center in Canada. There were plenty of men there, mostly 40+ of a certain ethnicity that is stereotyped for having small penises. well, these guy did, in fact have small dicks BUT they showed absolutely no signs of self-consciousness, walking around naked, showering in art three-head open shower, etc. I admired their attitude; they admired my dick. (or so I like to think! : )

The power of men supporting other men and helping them love their dicks cannot be underestimated, even if it's underused.

I now find that men in their 30's/40's are the ones that are a bit shy and tend to keep their kit on/not shower. Older men are totally comfortable with nudity. And interestingly, younger men in their 20's seem to be fine with nudity too. Last time I went to my local pool, there were a lot of younger guys there, and the showers were pretty busy - literally all the younger men were naked, and guys that looked more my age were all covered up.

Interesting observation. At my pool I find the young guys are the ones who go into the toilet cubicle to change!! Not even a towel dance. 30s upwards are generally naked and shower naked. Nothing beats 8 naked guys all showering together

I am stunned to read this. In the US this is definitely NOT the case. Younger guys are scared to death of being naked in a locker room.

Showers at my gym go mostly unused, even in January when there's more people there on a health kick, I'm often the only ones who uses them.

It's mostly a twenty something group during the week, they just turn up in their gym gear, do a workout and go home. Weekends there's an older mix and more often see people naked changing and showering. I feel more comfortable there at weekends and happily walk naked to the showers.

Once a week or so I go to my club to work out for a change and to use the steam room. It is usually very quiet, and I'll maybe see only two or three other guys in the locker room. Mostly older, some very old, and this crowd doesn't much care about nudity.

Not often there will be younger guys there. Some are not shy and others are. In the last few weeks, I saw a college-aged guy who stripped totally naked with a few other guys present, not bothering to try to cover up. He was in great shape and pretty well-endowed. Yesterday I saw a late 20's guy who I could see out of the corner of my eye putting a towel on over his underwear and then taking them off from underneath before heading to the shower. We were the only two there, and I wasn't really looking at him.

In related news, men under 30 and over 50 are preferred three-to-one to men between the ages of 30 to 50 as targets for salacious leering in a shower.

I don't get it.

My gym was rather busy this morning. Most of the shower stalls being occupied and curtains closed. I noted everyone walking to the showers with underwear on or wrapped in a towel. I don't get it.

If the purpose of the gym is to work on the physical, why not show it off? I've always been an exhibitionist, but I refuse to act like a prude. The locker room should be a safe place to bond - especially naked. Everyone will take pics, videos, sext, and create content subscription accounts, but no one can appreciate what the dynamic of a classic locker room should be. I don't get it.

Where I go most of them are black guys, at the locker room they are all naked it's me and another 3 white guys, so u can imagine how long and fat cocks there and just 4 white guys with kinda small white cocks lol

Black men vary in size just as white men do.

I meant the black guys like most of them have big size

I think a simple explanation is that a busy locker room would lead to more men being self conscious as more eyes are around and then there is the issue of less space. Men group think just as others do. This is "when in rome" situation. If most of the men around were naked then maybe those that came in wouldn't feel awkward about being nude but since most of the men were clothed and shower curtains closed then other guys don't want to be the odd one out if everyone else is doing something else. I find that a locker room that isn't crowded and has more space is more inviting to guys feeling comfortable removing all of their clothes as nobody can really label them as weird.

This is an excellent observation. I agree. Thanks for sharing.

You don't "get" that people may want to exercise at a gym without showing off for others? That sounds odd to you? And, if people don't show off as you demand then they are prudes? People must "bond - especially naked" at a gym to satisfy your prurient vision of exercising? With people like you at a gym, it is hardly a "safe place."
