I wouldn't enjoy being nude in a locker room any more than I'd enjoy being shy in a locker room. The only difference would be convenience.
New generations and nudity: we have a problem
- Thread starter Sexromasex
- Start date
It's interesting this is coming from a gay man. I'd like to hear some input from those among us who identify as 100% straight. But yes I do understand that there's a different sense of ummm belonging and community in a male locker room. But there are still places elsewhere to connect with others. Some posters in this thread are making it seem shyness in locker rooms is doing away with male bonding entirely.
You avoided the question by restating your position. How do you know you wouldn't enjoy no longer being shy? Again, do you enjoy being shy?
And non of this is necessarily life-altering. But growth as a person doesn't typically come in epiphanies but in small forward steps.
Your question was an irrelevant one. Your point was that being openly nude in the locker room is more enjoyable than being shy. I answered the question you should have asked. No, I would not enjoy being nude in the locker room any more than I enjoy being shy in the locker room. Additionally to answer your first question, I don't enjoy being shy but I likely wouldn't enjoy being 'not shy' either. Why? Because being shy doesn't impede me from doing the things that make me happy. I know this because I know myself as a person.
We all know this thread isn't about the growth of other people. Anyway, if you agree that being nude in the locker room won't cause any drastic change in a person's life then what's the point of making such a fuss. Growth is something that happens naturally. If not in the locker room then other places. People are constantly growing and I fail to see why any of it has to be done in the locker room.

When has anyone on this thread ever expressed an interest in "oggling" you and your micropenis? When did that topic enter the discussion? That misdirected paranoia is precisely the problem with your generation. That attitude is the whole motivation for this thread. Exhibit A on display right here.
Actually, wanting to look at other people's bodies was mentioned in the very first post of this thread.
Go and ask to the nearest US marines base, when lot of 100% straight men enjoy the bonding of doing the shower together in maybe very limited personal space.

This is not only a problem because it deprives me of some beautiful bodies to see, it seems to me that there is a more serious problem that the society as a whole should address.
I stand corrected.
However, I think that comment was thrown in as an element of humor and certainly not the central point and motivation for creating this thread.
Once again, the fact that a humorous comment cannot be distinguished is another manifestation of how this new generation wants the classify all locker room nudity as pervy and creepy. I resent that prudish, judgmental attitude more than I can adequately express. Such deliberate attempts to miscast the situation as perversion really anger me inside.

Even if it was thrown in as an element of humor by the OP, the fact of the matter is that it is a real sentiment by plenty of other people. There was a comment earlier about locker room nudity being "non-sexual"... but where is that posted in the locker room? Just a few days ago Socalfreak came out of the locker room chuckling about two men who were in there talking while he was changing his clothes for work. One of the men was so distracted by Socal's body that he was doing the whole "smile and nod" thing to his friend while he ogled. Now, Socal is obviously not freaked out by that, angry about it, or a prude... because he came out chuckling enough to tell me about it... but he still chose to only strip down to his underwear instead of walking around fully nude. Does that mean that he's scared? Does that mean that he's a prude? Does that mean that he's robbing someone of special male bonding??? Or does it just mean he doesn't feel like swinging his cock around in front of anyone but me?
There's also an older guy who's frequently lingering around in said locker room naked and looking at everyone else. Say what you want... but everyone has a right to want to avoid that. Male or female, gay or straight, clothed, partially nude, or fully nude... Doesn't matter. There is nothing weird about or wrong with feeling uncomfortable with strangers lingering around you watching you. Keeping your clothes on in a locker room doesn't immediately make you a prude. It doesn't mean that you classify all locker room nudity as pervy or creepy either... but to say that it's never pervy or creepy is just fucking delusional. Personally, keeping myself from being nude in front of strangers is no loss for me so staying clothed to avoid the people who *are* creepy is no sacrifice. It's not difficult and I'm FAR from a prude. The same can be said for Socal. So now who's being judgmental?

@Snarky_succubus : I have lots of opinions about how women should feel when they visit the gynecologist. In spite of my wife's descriptions, my ideas are not terribly relevant or grounded in personal experience because I don't have a vagina nor am I a gynecologist.
Nevertheless, thanks for contributing a female perspective about how men should feel about male bonding and male nudity in a male locker room.

No problem. Thank you for not actually having any relevant response to anything I said. There's really nothing gender specific here. Visiting a gynecologist isn't even remotely comparable to locker room nudity. If I were offering opinions on having a prostate exam you might make sense. @socalfreak is a man. He liked my post. If he reposts the exact same thing in the first person, then what?

No, there's nothing gender specific about male bonding and male nudity in a male locker room. It's entirely the same experience for women - no difference at all.
Okay, this makes very little sense, and I can see what we're dealing with.
Hey, bonehead....
If you read the very first post, they did make mention of women AND... It was about the possibility of being ashamed of ones body... Not your creepy version of "bonding".

You're adding the bonding thing in lol Just as the OP is adding in his tentative connection to porn and body issues. Because that's what you guys want to be all pissy pants about. The real bare bones of this is PEOPLE can choose to not be naked in front of other PEOPLE without being damaged by porn, soft millennials addicted to emojis and incapable of real connection, or prudes. That's a very simple fact that neither of you seem to be capable of admitting.
Still, let's play devil's advocate and pretend that your little hissy fit argument actually has a logical basis. You still have no response to socal adding his +1 to my post. He's submitting my argument as a male. He just took your stupid little gender issue out of it. So... now what?

Well, I certainly can't argue with +1.
Since you clearly speak for socal, I concede that you are an expert on masculinity. Why do my balls itch?

I don't speak for socal lol I just happened to bring those things up before he did. Nice job being juvenile, though
You don't get your way so you throw weak transparent jabs? lol *thumbs up*As for your balls... You probably got crabs from setting them on a bench that someone else also set his naked crabby balls on. Might wanna do something about that
