I don't care. I have something to look at and I show it so watch if you wish to. I was really curious when I was 14 and wondered if all boys had the same changes down there the same way as I did...and I discovered that some didn't and that I was bigger at 14 than a lot of older guys.

At my gym we have communal showers, they are not separate. It is just a big room with showers round the edge. If we had separate stalls then i would leave the door open definately! We are all human and have all seen a dick before so why bother hiding away?!

If their eyes work, then their eyes work, no big deal, it's natural to see what's ever there to be seen. Anyone who claims they don't 'see' what others have when it's out r usually in denial, eyes like to see, it's what they are for, lol.


Agree - we know we are going to be looked at by the younger set - even if it is to gasp when you see some of the guys who haven't kept up at being fit. Think of it as a reminder, when you see some old gut who is not too trim, with a large belly, that you guys might become the same way if you don't take care of yourself, eat right, and stay fit.

Of course, you have to accept that some of the older guys will look at you, too.

I have no problem showering at the gym naked. Really I haven't seen any one ever showering with clothes/underwear. The local YMCA has open showers with 3 shower heads. There is a new gym in town and as part of their promo the mention there are private showers. I guess its a big deal for some people which I don't seem to understand.

Have seen a couple of young guys going in the steamroom, whirlpool and showers with swim suits on. All the guys there, including me, close the stall door, which is a partial seethrough glass door. The stalls are small and I shut it so I don't spray all over whoever is outside the stall, not because I am being overly modest.

I wonder how those gyms with girly girly showers for the "guys" ever manage to keep them clean. Our gym must get around 300 guys using the shower room on a daily basis but being able to quickly wipe it down keeps costs to a minimum, I imagine. What sort of moldy stuff can easily grow in the crevices of the stalls? But of course, better to catch a disease rather than have a man see your p****!

Do you men mind when say the dudes 14 and up are allowed inthe shower and are curious and stare? that bothers some men

During the summer months, the gym where I workout offers summer day camp for young school age children. One of the activities offered during this time is swimming.

There have been many days I would be in the shower (always naked) and the young guys would come in from their swimming. Some of the young boys would strip down and shower, while others would shower with their suits on. Some did not showe at all. Their presence in the shower room (communal) did not bother me. If they wanted to look-so be it. It was good to see that these young boys did not feel intimidated by an older hairy guy.

The boys were on a time schedule and needed to hurry, so they didn't linger too long.

One day, a youngster felt the need to cut-up while in the lockerroom. He was prancing around, walking on the bench, totally naked. He didn't care who saw him.... it was quite funny. He was singing and dancing, all in the nude. Funny thing is the college students who come to the gym try so hard to keep themselves hidden...they dance alright....the towel wrapped around their waist causes them the dance from foot-to-foot.

It doesn't bother me. The younger guys have to learn what appropriate "shower behaviour" is from someone. I would prefer them checking me out and model my behaviour of showering in the nude without modesty rather than copying thier peers who shower in their clothes, hide behind curtains or who do the "towel dance" while getting changed. Unfortunately that is the modelling behaviour that kids are exposed to, and they think that this ridiculous level of modesty is common among men when it isn't. I've had this happen before at the university where I swim. In the summer, the university has a lot of kids swim camps that go on. There are lots of kids in the shower room when I'm in there and I see them looking at me. It's OK with me that they are looking because they are naturally curious to see what a developed man looks like naked. I used to sneak peaks at porno mags when I was young to see what some of the men looked like nude. I didn't know what a developed man looked like, so I was curious to see what changes my body would be going through as I went through puberty. Having an absentee father and older brother didn't help because I had no mature males in my life to go to with my questions. I grew up with my mother and sister, so I couldn't go to them with my questions. I think that this is even more common today with the high rate of single parent families. Many young boys don't have a strong male influence in their lives to guide them, so they have to find things out for themselves. They can't ask their friends because their friends don't know, or they would give them incorrect information and confuse them even more. They may also be too shy to ask their friends because they are afraid that they will be made fun of for asking questions about the male body.

Eventually every young boy is going to see a more mature/developed man naked. I think that this why they stare - they are curious about what they can expect in the future. I remember when I was in grade 8 (14 years old) and there was a kid in our class who had developed early. He had the body of a 19 year old. Whenever he got naked in the change room/shower after gym class, all of the guys used to look at him. We had never seen a male body that looked like that before because none of us has developed at that point except for him. We were curious to see what we could expect from our bodies in the future. It was nothing sexual, it was just curiosity about the male body.

I once belonged to a gym in Switzerland, where generally guys are absolute prudes when changing clothes in the locker room and staying hidden in the shower. The shower areas had stalls with doors and partial walls dividing them, so you could see someone naked in the shower if you really wanted to (from inside a stall). But generally people went in the stall and closed the door and then removed the towel around their waist and didn't emerge without the towel. But there was one guy, another North American, who always showered with the stall door wide open and always chose the stall closest to the door into the shower area so everybody had to pass him (and you could even see him showering sometimes from the locker area itself). And he would take extra long showers, and he would always be subtly touching his dick, which seemed to be in a perpetual semi-erect state (it was large too). In this prudish Swiss environment, this behavior stood out, but he would still always try to catch my eye as I passed him in the shower. I think he knew he was standing out by doing this in this environment, so he was being careful and edgy at the same time. I always wondered if he was just trying to show off his big dick or if he was wanting more.

Ive been a member of a gym that had doors on the showers, I alway left it open so I could show off if i wanted to or let someone show off for me.
That's because you're a freak, Monster, lol. You know I think that's all good, right?

"Look at Monster outside swingin' butt naked from the stop sign. That boy is a freak." LOL You'll always be one of my favorites:cool:

I don't get the issue with begin nude in a shower. Now I used to do the towel cover up or change my shirts first then quickly change my pants. But then I was not as developed and some of the guys had man cocks. I go nude all the time in my gym but most don't.

I personally hate open showers because I tend to get hard quite quickly and without the ability to stop it. So I end up taking the quickest showers and then getting out and getting a towel around me.

I get an erection quickly too in those kind of showers. It's just the breeze against my cock and it's always been always been embarrasing for me. I get in and scrub in super fast mode, then chuck a deuce.

I recently joined an LA Fitness gym in Miami and it amazes me how most men are so prudish. Even in the sauna, guys go in fully clothed and look at me weird becuase I am naked sitting on my towel. Is this normal behavior? Any one else from Miami that goes to a gym that can explain this?

i have to admit that I used to be that guy in my early twenties...I think it is becuase I saw most other young guys doing the same thing. I am in my early thirties now, could care less, and drop the towel, do what I need to do naked while changing....much less stressfull and more comfortable!!
