Guys, Do y'all still go naked in locker rooms?

[redeyemindtricks]

Okay, so I saw this article—can't remember where—about how, like, boys just don't do the naked thing anymore in locker rooms. Everywhere from high schools to gyms.

Is this true?

So curious.

... and where, at least roughly, are you?

In middle school gym, I would wear long gym pants under my regular pants every day I had gym. Then I just took of my regular pants. I guess I was embarrassed of my hairy legs. I haven't worn shorts since about 5th grade, not even in gym.

In senior year of HS when I had to take a gym class again, I started wearing shorts, so I did let everyone see my boxers, but usually I just didn't change out, cause I would ditch the class 5 minutes after he took attendance (what a dumbass teacher).

Interesting.

That cartoon exactly captures the essence of the article I read, yes. This... this new prudishness, this new self-consciousness.

My brothers definitely weren't like that.

Also, when the liquor is flowin'... LOL.

I'll NEVER forget this one time. I was hanging in a bar on River Street in Savannah, GA. Things got heated, words were exchanged, a couple of less-than-gentlemen were ejected from the establishment. Upon being shown the door, one of them stormed up to the front window, immediately dropped trou, just whipped it out and WHAP! Package against the window. Left a faint outline that lasted a couple hours, at least.

It must be said, the boy was packin'.

This is so true I see this weekly at my gym lol.

That second picture reminded me of something I have been seeing the gym... guys using the hand dryers to dry instead of towels. And yes, they get right up close to dry their "stuff". Interestingly, it is younger guys.

In high school, guys are petrified of being called 'gay' and so go to great lengths to cover up in the locker room or just don't bother showering.

In the adult world, it's generally old men and douchebags who go around the locker room naked. It's weird, some are visibly uncomfortable in the showers or whirlpool.

Hm. Well, I've seen the gay-ribbing thing, extensively (I had 4 brothers, who never fully realized that I was actually a girl, lol)... but, it doesn't seem that would be affected by the amount of clothing you were (n't) wearing.

I mean, if you were the unfortunate recipient of the "gay" label, then you might get tossed out in the snow, hoser, eh. With your cock out. And they might steal yr Tim Hortons, eh. But seems they'd do those things whether you were naked or not.

[meatballs21]

Moron adolescent logic dictates that wanting to be naked around other men makes you gay.

I'm from Sweden. Being naked is not that much of a deal here. Especially not same sex nudity. We just don't care.

At a public place (Gym, school, etc) you just strip down, usually put a towel around your waist when you walk to and from the shower and take the shower.

When I was in school. It's not like I'm not going to shower after an hour long gym class and be stinky all the rest of the day.

[DarkHumorRUs]

In the U. S. nobody showers after gym and most people don't smell because of that. I guess we don't play hard enough or something.

[abzence]

Sure, you don't have to be all smelly and stinky. But if you run a few miles during gym class I suppose most people would be sweating at least to some degree, especially during summer?

Guess our cultures are different. Someone who didn't shower after gym class here would be considered weird. And I suppose people in the U. S conciser us weird for taking showers. We don't like walking around with old sweat, I suppose.

[dartmaul15]

dont' know about the states, but over here in norway you shower naked, case closed. Anything else is seen on as unhygienic and weird.

At school, the gym... you shower NAKED.

As for the whole locker room deal; you just use a towel around your waist.

[Red_Arrow]

Don't know about schools these days, but at the gym it is the "naked thing". Guys strip in front of a locker the wrap a towel around (or not) and go to the showers which are separate stalls but no doors and glass walls. Then leave the stall, quick dry off then back to the locker and finish drying there.

Video to follow
jk :-)

When I go to the gym I work out with no shirt and I strip down after working out and hit the shower... Oh!!! I failed to mention I have a home gym lol

Anytime I have been to the gym though, you still change. You don't just walk around everywhere though.

[TheHooptyMiata]

I tend to wrap a towel if I'm changing at the gym (which is rare, usually I like to drive home still sweaty with the roof of my car down and shower at home). There's always one old dude letting his foot-long ballsack hang out for all to see though. I'm in Conneticut.

Sweden. I'd say if you do not shower after physical education in school or after being at the gym then people will pretty much think you're one weird critter.
Special note: If an unusually high amount or unusually intense old people are noticed at the gym it is acceptable to change and shower at home.

[26ukdude]

We didn't in high school, that was in 99 - 03.
Guys generally dont mind in changing rooms though.

[redeyemindtricks]

Interesting. You're in the UK, I take it, from your username.

My youngest brother graduated in '96, and they were still totally doing the nude thing in the locker room after gym class. Here in the states.

[26ukdude]

I think we did in middle school I can't remember, but 15 years ago in high school which is from ages 12 (generally) through to 16 our school didn't.
Locker rooms in public places are different. Some have cubicles, most you just change in front of whoever is there, but its single sex...
We are generally very reserved about nudity compared to places like Germany and Scandinavia

[ScruffynateAK]

Strip down take a shower.
That's how it works.
I'm in Alaska, US.
I'm in college now, but back in HS we just stripped and we do now too.
S'no big deal, just keep your eyes up.

Until last year I went to school in England where nobody takes a shower and guys are too prudish to take their clothes off. Now I'm in Finland, where after PE or swimming everyone takes a shower, and is naked in the open showers and changing room, and nobody cares even when the cleaner or the PE teacher (both women) come in. The cleaner must have seen every guy in the school naked a hundred times.
