Naked in Locker room
Return to DiscussionsThis is a very complicated and really more of a personal thing than to cast this as a problem with only one reason. Body shame is one of them, the individual could have been sexually abuse and is scared that someone looking at him will get ideas. I've read that some who have said that it was the way they were raised, especially by single female parent. In general females don't accept been nude as easy as men, the have to feel right about it and mothers pass that onto their children if there is no other view put forward. Sending pics is not as 'personal' as standing naked before a stranger. I'm not going to judge one individual's way of doing something to say he's wrong, but then we've gone from gang showers to personal showers with curtains. And lets not forget, as much as some say it doesn't happen, there are those individuals that will be inappropriate if they see something they 'like'.
I agree with doneright on this topic, there is a lot to be said for "live and let live." I don't mind that other guys in locker rooms play the towel dance, they come from all sorts of backgrounds regarding nudity. I expect to be able to be naked in the locker room myself, though.
that's my background.
My job is to normalize nakedness in such settings, and other guys who are ready can follow that lead. Happens all the time at the gyms I go to. There's not much to be said for a doctrinaire philosophy that a man who chooses not to be openly naked in a locker room is somehow not grown up.
I was freaked in Jr. High PE when all guys were required to wear a jock and take a gang shower fast before the bell rang. The coach knew my problem...do you suppose he had seen it before?? Took me aside, reassured me and told me to relax since everyone looked the same. In a few classes I was comfortable and actually began to enjoy my nudity and fitting in with others. Since then I've never felt uncomfortable with my own self in the lockeroom, and as an adult relax, shave and have good conversations with other guys...not to mention being a nudist who feels OK with many others. Gyms that prohibit natural behavior are part of the war on men these days.
I want able to enjoy the beautiful fall weather on Wednesday but I got little naked fix in the gym locker room tonight. I really dont think of it as anything daring but the bonding with other naked men on the same workout schedule is always fulfilling.

I was in a gym locker room in NC this summer and they had a big sign posted that told men to cover up at all times. Some might be offended by your nudity. I found that shocking.
