One other tip I forgot to mention to avoid erections is to use the steam room, sauna, or hot tub after your workout and before you shower. After 10 minutes in there, I couldn't get it up if my life depended on it!

I've had it happen, I've seen it happen.

I like to do the sauna / ice cold shower cycle on some days when I have extra time. It seems to make that kick in; but goes down when I get in the steam room.

When I was first starting to go to the gym I faced this problem. It will pass. First, it helps some to jerk immediately before going to gym. Knowing u are going to go naked I advise getting away from towel. The idea u can protect yourself prevents you from the terror of certain exposure which is most helpful in ending a continued erection. If you are in an open shower you can pick a corner shower head so u can more easily turn away, however. Remember that a less than full on erection, something less than half mast is in the ambiguous zone for a guy looking you straight on, but is more obvious in profile. If you are in this situation, which is far more common than a full on, face the crowd so to speak. The best way to move the mind is to do computations like 69 divided by four out to the decimal places. Counting also helps. I go the gym 5 times a week or more. Showers are open and busy, and after a few weeks of getting used to being naked in fromt of others I had no issues at all. Finally remember that guys mat glance at ur junk but given the code if the locker room that forbids looking,I suspect u would be surprised how much is not noticed. This morning there were at least ten guys in the lockers/showers naked while i was there. I could have seen all of their junk, but i never looked. Obvipusly i have glanced st varipus times, but that would be it and typically not. I am straight and other than the obsession of "where do I stand" I dont have any desire to look. It it would be harder -- no pun intended -- to address this issue for gay guys. Obviously they manage however.

I used to have that problem when i first began to use a locker room/shower. But in time that problem subsided. But if I bone up I discovered if I turn down the hot water and allowed more cold water to cascade down my body that would pretty much cause my boner to wilt. Works for me.

It''s really comforting to read that I'm not the only one with this problem. I have this horrible fear of getting an erection while showering naked or being in my swimwear. It has stopped me from going swimming for years. Recently I went swimming, and it was horribly awkward, I got a semi that I managed to hide, but I guess I have to go trough it, step by step getting comfortable with exposing myself and the idea that other people can see (the outline of) my cock, so I het rid of all the sexual connotations.

So I'm recently beginning to take more showers at the gym after working out. Except I get erections getting nude in front of people. This has always been sort of a fear for me, but I'm facing it now! Getting out of the comfort zone is good for you! So if any guys have any wisdom to pass on, or going through the same sort of thing I am, feel free to share! :biggrin1:
This reminds me of what happened to me quite some time ago - back in the '80s. I've always been concerned about my flaccid size, but I had grown to accept what I have. Nonetheless, I wondered if over the years I had exaggerated the size of the boys I had seen in the showers as a junior high and high school student. I had the opportunity to swim and to use the locker room on a university campus to check out my concern. After the swim, the student I was with and I were in the showers. I loved it! Just standing there naked, letting the water run over my back, seeing one other student doing the same thing. And then it happened: I started getting an erection. Needless to say, I turned away from my friend, quickly finished, and headed for the lockers. That never happened again. I might after that get a semi, but never an erection.

I do have the same problem with erections in public showers and still facing it. I try to JO before i go to the shower but even then ... same reason why i'm wearing briefs when going to the swimmingpool.

Sometimes the Good Old Days really might have been special. When I was a kid all the boys were a bit apprehensive about their first gym class, but we all got through it and we are were required to take group showers There wasn't much time or room for doubt and I don't think there were many casualties. My only regret came to be that I couldn't see very well without my glasses. (Damn!)

I've been going to a gym since Feb 1st. I either swim or sauna after my workout, then just rinse off in the shower while still wearing my swimsuit. I've always been self-conscience about how small I am when soft and even smaller after lifting and didn't want to be naked in front of other guys, even though there are lots of much older and smaller guys walking around naked all the time. In the distant past, I used to hang out naked with guys all the time, swimming, camping... but at my age, I just don't look that good while naked.
Yesterday, because of an issue with the AC in the locker room, I didn't get in the sauna, so I had no reason to put on a swimsuit just to rinse off. So I was totally naked in the shower for the first time. At first, I was alone in the communal shower, so I pulled and squeezed until I looked bigger while soft, in case anyone came in. I'm pretty sure that I'm the only gay guy at that hour at the Y, but I still wanted to look my best! Big step for me, I think.

my gym in Dubai has stalled showers with thick opaque glass in between stalls. No nudity allowed in the gym. But if taking a shower and you adjust the shower head onto the glass, it clears it just enough to get a vague shadow of those next to you. Sometimes catch guys tugging themselves, or pulling on their dicks just enough to look bigger before they put n heir towels and head to the steamroom or sauna - just enough to have it hang and poke a bit

Looks to me like you are just a grower but above average in length and girth when hard

Yep. 7 3/4 x 5 3/4. "Large, but not huge."
I also forgot to add that I am a little nervous about guys seeing my shaved junk. This is a really redneck area of Ohio. But it's comfortable, so I won't give that up.

Hi, interested in traditional hamams and how you are supposed to "dress" in them - and maybe there are many traditional structures in shiny new Dubai?

Have seen pestemel (hammam towels) and have read that it is normal and necessary for men to be covered in hammams, but that women, traditionally, would often be nude.

Is this your experience (obviously men only!) - I think it's unusual, and that is certainly quite different from the traditional western way, where group male nudity was common, but female nudity unusual.:confused:

I love getting out of the shower at the gym naked. I'm a nudist, so it doesn't bother me. I like seeing other dudes get out of the shower at the gym as well. Not particularly for sexual reasons, but out of natural curiosity. Just like looking at different types of junk. Lol. The variations are kind of amazing. And from the actions of dudes getting out of the shower as I sneak peeks, they enjoy it as well. Shame we don't have open showers at my gym (Planet Fitness).

If that pic is actually you, you're one hot fucker, buddy. Be naked as much as you can in the locker room, for all our sakes!

I've had the rare (really rare) erection in a public shower, more semi-hard than anything. Between the gym that I used to go to and the pools I swim at, I've seen more than a few. At both places, you rarely see a guy wrapped in a towel, primarily naked, sauna too.

Anyway once at the pool, one of the other swimmers who's a regular, and usually showers in his swimsuit, took it off one time to shower. In no time, he was hard and trying to hide it. Musta been the reason why he showered in his suit - couldn't control it. This other dude on the other hand, gets hard quite regularly in the showers. The first time, he was in the corner (it's an open shower), the next time it happened, I said 'Dude, you're hard again!' He said he couldn't help it (yeah right). Continued showering and stayed hard, even with three of us in there. I will say, it was quite impressive and I know he knew that.

Then at the gym, I was done swimming and put my stuff in the shower (they have stalls there). I whipped off my suit and let it hang under the water to rinse off chemicals and was heading to the sink to shave. There was already a guy at the sink shaving, he had nothing on and like most of the other men around there, neither did I. When I first saw him, he was soft. After about a minute of shaving next to him, he was getting hard, we could see other in the mirror. I just smiled back him like it was ok, don't worry about it. That was it. Pretty sure I was the trigger. I'm surprised by the number of erections I've seen at this place though, for the most part the other men seem cool with it.
