Hey y'all. Probably a stupid topic but was wondering how are you guys with being naked in front of others, especially after the gym for showering etc.?

I think my biggest issue with being naked in front of others and showering with others is the hair on my body.
I am in Germany and having hairy pits and pubes is pretty much a big no-no and automatically attracts attention. I don't know if I would ever feel comfortable which sucks, cause I should keep my body and body hair as I want it!

But most people don't see it that way and some are downright disgusted by hair in those places. I should probably just learn to say ''Fuck it'' but it's rather difficult, especially if you are already not very social and kind of awkward.
The only time I felt uncomfortable naked at the gym was just after I shaved my pubic hair - it looked like a plucked chicken, meat just dangling over pink balls. Sure they looked, and tut-tutted, anyway I grew the bunch again, so you stay with what you like, bushes and pits are great sexual attributes.

When I was in my teens and early twenties I was always very self conscious when naked at the gym. I was also a bit worried as I'm hairy all over. But in my late twenties I just thought fuck it and I don't really give it a second thought.

@chrisrobin I used to trim my pubic hair, then started using a body groomer down to No. 2 length and for a short while wondered if anyone would say something at the gym. Never had any negative comments about being close trimmed or shaved, it seems to be more popular these days.

I like that short trim look on hairy men. Means the hair is a uniform length which is visually unifying but not too affected. No2 ? What number do you use? A No2 on a man with a dark hairy chest is very attractive. You can almost see the swirls of the direction the hair grows.

The one and only time I felt awkward was the first time we had to get changed in high school sport, we were not allowed to miss showers and everything was open and shared. Once over that small hurdle (no big deal after all), I've never felt awkward again...and I went to school in the 80's. We're all tall, short, fat, thin, fair, dark, smooth or hairy, cut or uncut, some of us have moles or blemishes, wide or narrow feet, big or small dicks, freckles, eyes of every color, pensioner or teen, so don't get beat up about using a gym or pool or joining a sport team just for fear of nudity among your gender. Forget the photoshopped models in soft porn or instagram, a small amount of bravery of the most trivial sort and it's all over and done with. You'll be baring all with the diverse inhabitants of the communal showers in no time and getting soapy and clean into the bargain

I use to be one of those at the gym where I would wrap the towel round me and slip my underwear on underneath. The more I went and saw others (strangers) were comfortable showing all regardless of size, shape, build etc. it helped me relax more so didn’t need to hide under a towel whilst putting underwear on. That’s the only time I’ve been naked around anyone, though really keen on trying a nudist beach.
The whole nude beach thing is a farce. Unfortunately, the people that are nude you don't want to see....lol!

It is like going to a biker rally. The girls you want to see ride the mechanical bull topless, are the ones that don't ride the bull topless... and the ones you wish you hadn't seen are the ones that rip their tops off.

Unfortunately I’d be the one you don’t want to see
It’s not so much seeing others and I also hate the beach but since I went to Toronto last year and walked passed a clothing optional beach I’ve regretted not trying it so it’s about embracing naturism.

What? Who cares. They are not there for your viewing pleasure. They are there for their delight. Odd and judgmental thing to say. It’s the human condition and you will be old and wrinkly and out of shape one day faster than you think.

Time and gravity wait for no man. Nude beaches are about enjoying the freedom, not to show off. The internet would have you believe it's full of young models, it's really not.

What you usually see is far more representative of the general population, middle aged, comfortable in their own skin and just enjoying the experience.

Did a photo soot at 18 in school showers with five other guys. No problem cause we were all jocks. Looking back I had good hamstrings, quads, and calves even then.
Would Love to see that
