I will always take a gang shower over a stall, for a lot of the reasons others have outlined. Stalls are a lot less sanitary in just about every locker room I've ever seen. Plus I'm tall and broad shouldered - I feel cramped easily. Gang showers to me are inherently more relaxing, plus I like the view (lol), and after working out I like being able to get cleaned up in a soothing, relaxing environment. That's a gang shower to me and not a stall.

If anybody knows of gyms in LA with gang showers please feel free to PM me - I'm looking to change my gym because the facility that was closest to me is closing.

I've been used to open showers since early middle school, then half of high school. But these schools didn't have the Bradley towers. I never used them in the Military either, simply the open showers in the barracks.
I've joined gyms and they all had open shower rooms. I'm comfortable in an open shower. The YMCA in my city has been remodeled with a new shower room. This shower room has shower cubicles with two shower curtains. The outer area is where you undress, it has a curtain to provide privacy from the room. There is another area where the shower head is located. This separates the undressing area with a curtain. So there are two curtains for each cubicle. SMH
I quit that gym. I joined a Planet Fitness, it has curtained cubicles. There is a dressing room opposite each cubicle. So you undress in the dressing room. Take about 3 steps to the shower cubicle, of course with a towel wrapped around yourself. You hang your towel outside your curtained shower. After showering you grab your towel, wrap it around yourself and go back to the dressing room opposite your shower cubicle. Then you walk to your locker with the towel around you. Get your underwear and do the towel dance to put your underwear on. Lol I never thought I'd see such silliness.

I simply undress completely at my locker, walk nude to the shower with towel over my shoulder. After i shower I step out of the shower and dry myself there in front of the shower cubicle. Then walk to the lockers with my towel over my shoulder. Then I get dressed at my locker.

Gang showers. I have a 36" inseam, 35" sleeve that is all arms, and I don't want to be cramped or touch the nasty side walls of a stall shower. You know you guys wank in there.

I don;t have a 36" inseam (and I'm envious) but I do have a 35" sleeve, have no depth perception and am klutzy/clumsy as all hell.... Most shower stalls are way too small for me to take a shower comfortably. Avoiding the sides/curtain is WORK for me:-( Therefore gang showers any day....

I know what you mean. My 35 " sleeve just happens to be the length of my dick, so that's a real problem too...

I grew up with gang showers in school and even as a seventh grade liked the freedom that they provided. Other than in a few barbell gyms and some spas in Europe, I haven't regularly used a gang shower or Bradley pole since college. I belong to a private club gym that has open stalls without curtains, which is pretty rare these days as well. Most of the members are 40+ so most of them aren't really shy about being naked in the steam, sauna, whirlpool or showers. We do, however have towel-dancing millennials around... One of them complained to management about the amount of naked men on the locker room which prompted a ridiculous memo about locker room modesty. I'm just about the least modest guy around and will use everything in the locker room naked, not to show off, but just because I prefer it, it's more comfortable and feels natural to me. I have noticed that some of the younger guys that used wear to shorts or a towel in the steam room are starting to use it naked and sit on the towel, so I guess that's progress.

I hope so! I can't believe guys who complain about nudity in a locker room. WTF?And yet on this very site someone posted some youngish asshole filming himself in his car while he pontificated for like 20 min about how he didn't want to see other men--especially older men--nude in the lockerroom : "You didn't ask my permission". What a putz

Of course I prefer gang/open showers. I'm tall (192 cm) so I like more space and I like fellowship with the guys.
I remember student times in locker room and shower, before our gym in swimming pool. First time I was a little shy. I shower with my blue speedo (tight slips) on. My cock in up position was visible, but after while, when I saw all guys (mostly naked) I erected quickly, and my cock was very, very visible (20 cm). It was embarrassed for me, but fortunately it was the first lesson in the morning, so some guys hard on (or semi) too. Next time I providently take black arena jammers, so my erected cock in up position was a little less visible. Third or fourth time I joined to naked showering guys although my cock was semi or hard on. Sometimes we had gym in swimming pool as last lesson, so for the end shower I waited few minute and only 3 or 4 of us jerk off. It was fun and relaxed. And now all time I shower naked in open showers in swimming pool, gym or hostels.

I've never had a shower using a Bradley shower tower. All the showers I've used were open showers or cubicles without a curtain in front. I think one place had a curtain but i only half way closed it. I prefer open shower rooms. The gyms I've used lately hardly anyone showers after a workout.

I think Bradley shower poles are hot as fuck. I suppose I used a few over the years. Guys just need to get comfortable with naked dudes showering. It's a deep, deep psychological need that we ignore to our peril.

I was at the gym today, there was a mid- twenties guy taking a really long shower while wearing a long pair of gym shorts, texting most of the time, and an early thirties guy that wore his without clothes and shoes in the steam room. He changed into his street clothes in a toilet stall without showering. I just don't understand...

Buncha pussies. Guys like that should be arrested for breaking the federal law that all men MUST shower naked (can't believe I even have to use that phrase!) after stripping to their federally mandated jockstrap for a minimum of 10 minutes. That IS a law, right? ... or did I dream that?

I work out at a Y that has added stalls along one side of an otherwise open shower. I've been using open showers for years, so I'm not going to start using a stall. I love showing off that I'm totally at ease with other men seeing my dick

This is how it's done, boys...
Is it not blatantly evident that men showering together is good for them, and consequently for the whole world? If our fuckin world leaders would get together and shower naked, they wouldn't be so fuckin uptight and worried about their penis sizes and start wars and shit.
