Okay, my two cents. It seems to me that there are a few folks at both ends of this issue who are more than a little defensive, especially a few of the towel dancers. And NOINRI sweetheart, you're leading the pack with your bunched up panties under that towel. Let's all take a deep breath . . .
I too have wondered and been amused at the extreme lengths some guys go to keep it covered at all costs in the locker room. It does seem to be a generational thing at least in part. Don't know how things are in NZ Gymlad, but those of us who grew up playing sports or even in PE class (that's physical education, not penis enlargement, perverts) are probably just more comfortable being naked around other guys in that environ, and think not much of it. Not sure, but I think alot of PE and sports activity has been eliminated from public schools in the US, hence 20-30 somethings have not been socialized or acclimated to same gender public nudity the way some old farts have.
Beyond that, there are I'm sure other individual factors at play, e.g. poor body image, penis envy, fear of being photographed, laughed at, buggered, throwing a rod, etc. And for those of you who say it's not about the penis, you need to find another website. This site is all
about the penis.
Men are all about their penis. And frankly, we're all a little bit obsessed - with our own, or others', or both - or we wouldn't be here, okay? So whatever the tangential issues, I think it's obvious the towel dance is mainly about hiding the penis, for whatever reason.
For myself, I am very comfortable being naked in appropriate venues, nude beaches, locker rooms, christmas parades, public transit, etc. I have a pretty decent body and body image, including what's bouncing around my thighs. I can understand those who feel shy, inadequate, less confident, etc. Still I agee with Gymlad,the neurotic lengths they go to hiding themselves can seem pretty silly, comical, even ridiculous at times. By the same token, there is a fine line between guys who are comfortable with their nakedness and those who are just flaunting and strutting their stuff, and whether or not they have anything worth strutting.
But more about me: It feels really good and natural to be naked, especially after working my body, showering, steaming, etc. Why sometimes I just break into a little naked tap dance. But I am not gonna be in your face with it (unless of course, that's where you want it, and then fine by me). And I would never, never sit on a changing bench naked or mash my naked dick into the shaving sink either. Seriously boys, think about it. Do you want flesh eating bacteria chewing on your winky? Ewwww!
Well there's my 'two cents', which regrettably turned into an excessively long treatise, but hopefully it answered everyone's questions, and there's nothing left to say, so you can all relax now and move onto more important topics, like discussing algebraic equations for converting the length/girth/volume measurements of your cocks from inches into drachmas and millipedes. Peace out, and no I am not high, not much.
. . . and let it out.
p.s. I think it should be noted that Gymlad claims to be 100% straight, so those of you who think he's obsessed with looking at dicks are just plain
wrong. (On the other hand, it does challenge my brain a little bit to accept that anyone who claims to be 100% [and I'm not questioning you GL, just an observation on some others in the wider LPSG community] would be invested in a site all about cocks - comparing, commenting, discussing, ogling, drooling, showing off and jacking off, to and for other 100 percenters and on down the Kinsey scale [and mostly
way down the Kinsey scale] and let's not forget about all the 'real' women here, too. But this, I think, is a topic for another post, which I shall initiate when I get a round tuit.)
p.p.s. It also challenges my brain that the 'younger generation' that is so shy about covering their bodies in the tangible, yet ephemeral, flesh-and-blood real world, seem to have no qualms whatever about flashing their naked throbbing dribbling business all over the internet, phone texts, satellites, into outer space and beyond the cosmos, thereby creating a permanent universal record of said imagery. And yes, I'm including you NOINRI in my perplexity.
