Public Changing Room Nudity

Hi all,

This is based on a discussion my girlfriend and I had at dinner last night (yup). I mentioned that I'm totally comfortable getting naked in public changing rooms - say, a swimming pool or a spa - and that I find it weird when I see grown, adult men obviously wasting time to be alone, or otherwise trying to undress under towels. My girlfriend then said that this is far more common in women's changing rooms and the only ones who just flat out get naked are old women who just don't give a fuck.

So, GAF, how do you feel? Are you comfortable getting your kit off in front of other people of the same sex? Would you if it were mixed? Since when? I know I didn't when I was a kid.

(FYI I'm a 24 year old guy and I'm slightly chubby but not physically disgusting or anything).
 
Remember another kid in school who would always taunt us other kids with his monster cock and laugh in the showers after gym classes, that was terrible for us. But yeah I'm pretty fine getting naked in places like that, it's not like something bad could really happen, hell if someone likes what he sees good for him I will let him take a photo.

There's mixed showers at Roskilde festival. the only way warm showers are free there, but i've always been too much of a pussy to get in there.
 
im too self conscious of prying eyes to do that! i head straight for a cubicle when im changing to go swimming, but if its just my sister im okay with because pretty much we were brought up that way with our mom.
 
Also played sports when I was younger. The open room showers were a thing back then, maybe its changed now.

But yeah. I never had any problem with it. It was normal at the time.
 
Where I live full nudity in locker rooms is not allowed or is strongly frowned upon (unless you're in a 5-star hotel). You have to do it under a towel or use a private stall.

Personally I've always been fine with it. And I've also heard that it's less common in women's changing rooms, although I would have expected the opposite.
 
When your at the gym you'll see alot of guys who just don't give a fuck about just walking around in there birthday suit...

Personally, I sorta care...only because I don't really want to feel judged..plus, i'm not gay or anything, but I can't help but want to stare at the peoples penis length and just compare it to mine...guess it's general curiosity really.
 
In those situations, I'm more worried about making other people feel uncomfortable. I mean, just the girth alone would be enough to fracture the psyche of a normal man. I don't want to be responsible for some poor sap who has to go to therapy for an inferiority complex.
 
Why do you find it weird some people don't want you looking at their naked body?
I think it's weird that they think other people care. I mean, do you? If you saw a naked person in the changing room, would you stare at them?

Everyone is born the same, more or less! It's a few minutes of nakedness with a bunch of other people who look the same, no one's peeping and you'll probably not seen them again at any rate.

That said, like I said, I didn't always feel like this. I don't know when I changed or if anything happened to inspire it.
 
Hate changing in public, I mean I feel naked if I dont even have a sweater on unless it's a warm day, I like having clothes on.

Unless I'm home, I'm either overdressed or naked when I'm home.
 
The only public locker room/shower I use is a combined one for the local gym as well as the local pool. Which means it's gym members on the one hand, and families with children going to the pool. It can be a bit awkward going in there with stressed out dads and their kids running around the place (especially if I just shaved my junk), but there's really no option, just go in, rinse off, get out. No point in trying to be all stealthy about it, you'll just draw more attention.
 
I wonder..if men usually look at penis lengths while naked, to compare and contrast...

What do women compare? Breast Sizes? Vulva and clitoris differentiation?

Unless a woman is huge in the breast area, most women will not give two FUCKS about other women walking around butt ass naked in a locker room, barring extreme circumstances
 
If anything, I'd be uncomfortable undressing in front of someone I know just because I'd see them more and it'd just hover over me for awhile. If it's just random people I wouldn't care.

I played sports for a long time, and we had an open shower room, so i'm used to it and have no problem with it.

My friend who played highschool hockey told me that they would regulary do circle jerks in the showers...

Is there any truth to this?
 
i like to get hard and strut around the change room. when i make eye contact with another guy i tell him "you did this to me" with a gentle smile and move on.
 
I really don't care. I'm there to take a shower/change clothes, not to stare at others. I don't see a reason to hide under a towel, not take a shower or walk around in wet shorts just because someone can't simply turn their head away. It's a public changing room. If you're uncomfortable with nudity, go to a private stall or something.

What about wearing swimming shorts?
Many swimming pools and saunas I've been to forbid people to take shower with shorts on. It's all about hygiene.

Coming from a culture where one of the more popular pasttimes between friends is going to sauna, this strikes me as a bit odd - For me it's hard to think of any friends I haven't seen naked or vice versa.
 
I played sports in highschool, but fortunately my sports class was always at the end of the day so I never had to take a community shower in the boys locker room. But a lot of other students did and rumors about each athletes penis size spread like a wildfire. Kids can be so cruel. But still, no, I would not be comfortable today being naked around men in a locker room.
 
I wouldn't mind if I had an amazing body. I don't mind getting compliments, even from other dudes. Since I don't look like Adonis, nope.... I want my space. My dick? I don't give a shit. If you look, you look.
 
Grew up playing sports. There's a certain amount of nakedness going on there. Kinda weird, but ok.

Was part of a mass arrest once. Same thing. You wouldn't choose it, but ok.

However, I was buying a suit last week and a dude came busting into the changing room and that wasn't ok at all. GTFOoH! Don't know much about suits, so I'm already out of my comfort zone w/the measurements/style dudes and now this! Getting pantsed on the corner seemed preferable. Still bought the suit though because it was the one place I knew.

Feeling like it's not so much being naked, but being naked and surprised is a bad time. HEY!
