How comfortable are men with being nude in communal showers and locker rooms in your country or culture?

Ah okay. .

It is odd who is shy and who isn't, when It comes to the locker room. I've seen guys in the gym locker room comfortable baring all when they're on the small side, tiny even. And super shy guys with very generous endowments.
I agree. I don't have a great body and am pretty average in the penis department but I don't worry about being seen naked in a locker room or in general.

As we all know and have discussed, most guys who played sports, were in the military, had brothers as close siblings or dads who weren't overly modest don't seem to have problems with nudity but that still leaves a lot of guys who do.

I've posted how I really don't use the locker room at my gym because it's not far from my house and just easier, but really it's just a pretty plan room with shower stalls/curtains. Guys don't get naked unless it's for ten seconds to put on or take off their underwear, then they immediately cover up again in some capacity. It's probably used by less than 20% of those who actually work out there.

So you guys know how we always say that younger men are more modest and all, well today just proved me wrong...!
I was at my gym and was changing to my workout clothes when these three guys in their early twenties come in and get the lockers next to mine. They seemed very good friends and were chatting the whole time. I left the locker room and came back around an hour later to shower. Halfway through my shower I hear guys talking and laughing, the three young guys just hit the showers (it's individual cubicles). By the time I was done, I leave my showers and at the same time, they all go out of their cubicles and start giggling and walking to their lockers completely naked, towel in hand, crossing the locker room for all to see. They got dressed next to me, the three of them naked and chatting away. It was nice to see these three hot young guys being comfortable with one another and just being men :)

The gym clientele where I work out splits pretty evenly into go home sweaties and shower users. Since the showers are open, the latter group (including me) are almost uniformly relaxed about getting their kit off. I wouldn't like to bet how many of the sweaties are doing it because they're uncomfortable about getting naked and how many just think they might as well go home for convenience/because it's close by/because it saves them packing a big kit bag, though.
I like the term "go home sweaties." I am a shower user. I have to shower because I get too funky!

Having a pretty face and good body is a bless, but being humble and modest also, will make a person more attractive and loveable, especially in young men. Sexy guys with arrogant attitude thinking that they are so gorgeous, and other people out there just trying to chase after them, will definitely turn people off. Those 3 guys are loveable because they are young, good looking but may not even think of that, and don't mind other people looking at their bodies. They may think that being naked is natural, and nothing's wrong with being nude in the men's locker room; and if other men enjoy looking at their bodies, then they have made someone happy that day, and just looking is not a big deal between men. But we should be courteous in men's locker room by not staring at people for a long time; or be disgusted by walking around all wet dripping water all over the floor and making a mess. Try to clean up yourself. Being naked is natural, but making a mess is different.

Here in Italy I'd say guys are rather comfortable with nudity, especially when it comes to showering after team sports.
I used to play 5-a-side football and in most of the cases, being a small number of total players, there was just one locker room with open showers for both teams... meaning that after every game you were going to shower together with your teammates and other 6/7 unknown guys.

Showering at home was not an option, as we were always staying out for dinner or for a drink after the match...
And, in general, I'd say it's considered quite strange to go home without showering after sports.

In gyms it is more likely to have separators, but still many guys seem to be quite comfortable to walk around naked, drying out and changing clothes without hiding themselves.

Same here. Traveling out of town at the end of the month and headed to the Southwest. The Airbnb has a pool and there has already been a discussion about skinny dipping. Should be....interesting.

Australia’s a mixed bag. Depends on age, background you’re from and if you played team sports.

My 2 cents... No matter what you look like or how big ya cock is, fellas should be ok gettin changed or having a shower near each other.

It only takes a few good role models in someone’s life for them not to be a bloody towel dancer. Even if it’s just other blokes at the gym leading by example.

I'm ex military, so communal showers and nuding up with other dudes was no big issue. Often a few ass slaps where thrown in with some banter to make.your buddies have a laugh, otherwise pretty fkn chilled.

Sure that often carried over to the base gym locker rooms, with close proximity, and lads being lads. Otherwise always good to have a laugh in the process.

Korean spa report:

I was at Spa World in Virginia near the Washington DC Dulles Airport on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

As expected, it was busy (but not overly crowded), which was ideal for me looking for a scene of men being comfortable lounging around other nude men. There was one guy who, as he got out of the pools, covered his package with his hand whenever he walked around. When he showered in the open showers, the only time his hand left his crotch was when he was facing the wall. At first I was trying to figure out if he was trying to hide an erection, but based on the position of his hand, that wasn't it. He seemed to be comfortable hanging out for an extended period of time in a room of full of openly hanging manhood of different shapes and sizes, so I'm not entirely sure what he might have been shy about. But I had a good time hanging out letting it all hang out.

I'd been to that Korean spa in Centreville a couple times about 4 years ago.

I'd heard they were slow to fully reopen after COVID. Will have to revisit.

My two friends chickened out so I was the only one to skinny dip. I was the first in the pool, trunks on. Friends finally got in the pool and I told I was taking my trunks off. I had them off for about 10 minutes. Felt great! Friends went inside and I hopped out the pool bare ass naked, dried off and went inside to take a shower. What a punch of punks!

During boot camp I was showering & heard someone walk up right behind me. I said "cant I get 5 minutes of privacy". All the sudden I heard shouting & my last name horribly mispronounced, as only our drill sergeant refered to me as. I turned around immediately, but slipped on my shower shoes, fell & was at the drill sergeant's crotch-level.

He said: "Do you think trying to do that is gonna make up for all the fuck-ups you've made so far, you've gone from not being my type to being on my shit list".

After that, haven't liked being watched in the shower. Cant recall if I didn't mind it before.

I’ve been hitting a traditional Russian banya which is visited almost entirely by Russian immigrants or their sons born here.
I’d say 99% of men of all ages are naked, you see the usual one or two in bathing suit but for the shower time (just four with no divisions on a small room) everything is taken off. Idk if is same in Russia but at least in this one they are pretty open about it.

I even have seen some of them shave (armpits, pubic etc) in the shower while chatting with another one, I started to do it as well. Others go out of the place to cool off on a bathrobe but it stay open while there.

For eating or drinking in the tables areas everyone wears the robe or a towel. A great place to relax.
