In a guys lockerroom, by and large, most of the guys walk around buck naked, saying, "Hey, Bob, how's it going?", blah, blah, blah. At my gym, there are about 12 showers with no separation. Guys are shooting the breeze, talking about what they're doing with their families on the weekend.
A small percentage wear a towel.
My wife says that women's lockerrooms have (mostly) separate showers so, that women can shower individually. And most women wear towels to and from the shower. Supposedly, the younger the woman, the more inhibited.
Is that an accurate depiction of men's and women's culture? How are you guys in this scenario?
Quite the insight! True! I don't mind check'n out the other bod's cause usually it makes me feel a lot better about mine.... :
My wife feels the same way. She is usually more fit than most of the women there. However, she also thinks that people think she is brazen for being nude, even if it's just other women there.
We had dinner at a friend's house, and the husband said he didn't want to come across homophobic, but he thought it was really strange for naked guys to be walking around each other in a locker room. I was speechless. Because I was his guest, I didn't tell him that thought wouldn't occur to a straight guy.

I guess it isnt the norm in WA but in HS where I went we never showerd for gym so I never had any prep for lockeroom edict all we had was changing into PE clothes.
I guess here showering in HS was MANDATORY after gym I think that is messed up but anyway back to the question.
Me and a few friends went swimming for a few months regulary at the HS pool and the showers are all open no privacy whatsoever and about shree spickets per showerhead so if many girls taking a shower you would be elbow elbow.
I showerd with my swimsuit off I have never got undress infront of anyone if it wasnt with a man for whatever or a Dr. or medical reason.
I am extemely shy and modest most I would do is not care if one of my girlfriends saw me in a bra. I found at the swim place most woman baring all were either preteens maybe 14 max hard to say since girls are growing so fast these days but I would say toddler to about 12-14 and than modesty until you hit about 30's seemed the older the woman the more willing to bare all she was and NONE of these woman were in shape.
I have one friend that will undress and stuff not caring but she is the one always getting drunk and topless at social events:P
The guys at my gym are disgusting. They just flaunt their balls around like they're not even there. Bif fat hairy asses all over the place, sitting on the benches, bending over to get to the bottom of their lockers. Sometimes you get the regulars talking, all naked, instead of getting dressed. They'll stand there naked for 10 minutes telling stupid stories. One guy told a story about something and then made a swift kicking action. I can't even describe how gross it was seeing his balls flapping around and the crack of his ass open up out of the corner of my eye. It's so hard to avoid because these naked guys are everywhere in that locker room. I don't even want to get into the nasty things I've seen happen in the sauna.
I am not comfortable walking around gyms after showering to be honest and if I see someone walking round naked it makes me cringe!
It doesnt make me cringe but I feel like some perv for looking or seeing them LOL Like I try not to accidently look and stuff. I was the woman that when giving birth and in all that pain and doctors throwing up your sheets I threw them back down cause I did not want to be exposed to everyone yet everyone says when you are in that pain you don't care. LOL I did.
I think it just goes to show that men are really surpressed homosexuals
But really, it is like that here too. Men's showers are all open and women's are all closed in(so I hear). My sister in law was talking once that she didn't want to use the showers because the curtain didn't close properly LOL. Like people are going to be peeking in or something. Frankly I think people (mostly women)should just loosen up. They look better naked anyway.
But I totally hear what bobaloo is saying too. When you're at the gym it seems the fattest oldest guys are always the ones walking around naked all the time. Having conversations and everything. Not that I want to see fit guys naked either but you get what I'm saying. You shower naked, wrap a towel around yourself when yer done, go to your locker, dry off and get dressed. I never feel overly embarassed about being naked but I don't go rocking out with my cock out all over the locker room either.
My buddy is living in Poland right now but he was working in Germany over the summer. Anyway he was at the sauna and he walks in naked and there are several women in there naked also and he is a little taken aback. It seems Wednesdays are co-ed at the sauna. Talk about culture shock!

I remember when I was a young teenagers and my brest grew bigger I was so ashamed...I hated when we had to go to shower after gyms class and everybody else saw that I have breast (everyone else were flat when we were 12)...but now I´m okay with it I don´t mind in a locker room anymore. When I´m working I usually wear thongs and few months ago one of my co-workers said that my thongs are cute in the locker room She is a very nice person but I never would have thought that she would look women.
About giving birth...When my son was born there was my dear hubbie holding my hand (thank god he was there) and a midwife and a student-doctor and later two more nurses. It was a powerful experience and I don´t remember much...Here women usually give birth with no clothes on, you can stand or be in a position you want and midwife just have to deal with it No covers if you don´t want to but if you do want, then that is okay too. I wish I would have some pics but I don´t because camera wasn´t on top of our minds then I have a funny pic where my son is breastfeed for the first time and my tit looks so much bigger than his tiny head
Sorry that this went Off Topic
Anyway, I didn´t realize that when I see a tv-serie that is from US and guys are in the locker room that it´s really like that!! I don´t think that it´s the same here at all...I must ask hubbie

Myself I could care less I'm comfortable enough not to really give sh*t I'm there for the shower not to make friends or look at them
I hope you don't think I was knocking your pic because actually I found it appealing. It was just the whole, don't post boobs, pussy or cock in the shoot the breeze section most of us got.

I mean this tongue-in-cheek, Bobaloo, but this time your avatar is appropriate. I don't know why you would inherently be disgusted by someone else's naked body. Most of the women on this board are heterosexual, as far as I can tell. Are they supposed to be grossed out by your hairy, naked body? If not, what makes you different? You have balls, right? Just like the guys in the locker room?
I go to nude beaches and every body type is there. I'm trying to follow your reasoning -- should hairy, fat, or old, should not be able to be on that beach? Ironically, most of the people who have helped establish the clothing-optional status of the beaches are hairy, fat, and at least older.

babe, with your body I wouldn't be worried about it! The others will be cringing that their bod doesn't look as good as yours! Be confident! You got it girl!
