Nude in front of coworkers

[ohiorod]

I have noticed that more men check out my crotch when clothed now that they have seen my dick in the gym showers at work. I’m guessing that it is a little penis envy. I would hope seeing me nude would not change our relationships, but I think it did in some ways. Of course these are guys a little younger than me and I had already had previously heard that there was some envy over my work position, advancements and even my car. To me these are just the products of my hard work, not an effort to show off or demean anyone. In fact, I readily dispense some career advice when asked and have helped advise several guys on how to get out of debt and live within their means.

I suspect that if you had to take "decontamination showers" at work, seeing your colleagues naked, or being seen nude by them, was the absolute least of your concerns.

Sometimes "decontamination showers" refers to going in to a sterile area, or into an agricultural area where the livestock is at risk of outside contaminants.
The summer between college and grad school, I stayed in my small college town and did temp work. When the office work dried up, they asked if I would do manual labor and offered me a 2-week gig at...of all places...a chicken farm. They also said that there was a strict decontamination protocol, asked my height and boot size (so they could provide overalls and boots that had not been exposed to outside contaminants) and that we were required to shower on the way in and the way out. I was still learning to control erections in casual nude situations. I had mastered relatively short bursts from towel hook to stall in the dorm bathrooms, changing in front of roommates, etc., so while guys saw my penis on a regular basis, open showers were still a huge obstacle. I wondered if it would be open showers, a prospect that made me nervous, but also excited. One strategy was that I wore glasses instead of contacts, so the naked men around me would be blurry, hoping that would reduce the chance of erections.
When I arrived the first day, they had me sign forms, etc., on the office/outside area of the facility, then showed me to the changing/shower facility with changing rooms at both ends and a huge open shower in the middle. Since the shift had already started and I was joining late due to the paperwork, I showered alone, but knew that would be the last time.
The work was every bit exhausting and disgusting as I imagined. I was exhausted by the end of the shift, which probably helped. The other guys were all beefy farm types, which didn't. I took off my glasses, walked quickly to the furthest shower head, ran cold water and faced the wall. After about a minute, I couldn't take it any more, so warmed it up a bit. Finally, I realized I was so exhausted and in need of a hot shower, that I turned up the heat and seemed to keep it all under control. The real moment of accomplishment was when I turned around and joined in the conversation. This was an important passage into manhood...engaging in conversation with other men in an open shower, facing out, penis fully exposed.

After 2 days, I started doing it in my contact lenses. I had to go through the process again, but was able to keep my dick under control after a minute or so of cold water, so I could clearly see everyone else's dicks and I could clearly see that they were making eye contact with me and that my penis was fully in their view. It was exhillerating!

It's only a very small part of the male population that is "ultra straight and hetero" that would be offended if you are caught looking at them. Remember, most guys are going to look at you (it's human nature to look and compare!) and some guys are going to enjoy the view. Very few guys are going to cop an attitude about you noticing them - these guys are uncomfortable, facing to the wall, anti-social, arms crossed, sometimes hands covering their junk- seeming perhaps angry or nervous/agitated.

Some guys may put on a show and actually desire an audience- and you will quickly know the difference if you are looking for it. These guys face away from the wall, cock to the wind, and will be talkative, standing in an open position, smiling and soaping themselves up a LOT- usually touching their crotch a great deal and sporting some semi-erections. Remember that going to a gym is a choice to put yourself in public- so be prepared to be at least a tiny bit social with the other guys around you.

Most guys are somewhere in the middle- and are going to 'go with the flow' depending on the mood of the locker room. If the alpha guys are loud and boisterous, and engaging in lots of physical horseplay, that's what will follow. Mirror the same behavior and fit in with the pack. Lots of these guys "don't give a flying F*k" whether you look, as long as it's not long excessive stares- because they know that all guys look. Guys who are comfortable in their own skin aren't too bothered by the stranger comparisons, because they feel OK in the pecking order and aren't bothered by group nudity. It's a locker room, and it's a team shower, so it's part of the experience. Regular attenders have already done and seen it all already- and are accustomed to how things are in that social setting- and yet they still choose to keep coming.

I always say the best practice is to be very observant of the surroundings on your first visit. Watch how others behave, and put your behavior somewhere in the middle so that you don't stick out as unusual. Don't be a prude who can't enjoy being naked in a locker room (why did you come in the first place, and what did you think you'd find there?!?!?!) But don't be a creeper who's trolling, salivating, and hard as a flagpole, either. After a couple visits, you'll know who is open to social interaction, and what the limits of interaction are. If you are new and/or in a strange place, store the experience in your mind and save it for your spank bank later on- and the best choice is to keep your sexy time out of the public realm.

My blubber starts to burn with shame.

 

[Scott6428]

I have seen my boss and other co workers naked and no issues at work. I have shared rooms and some of us workout at the same gym. We’ve showered together, changed clothes together and some fo them walk around the locker room without a towel.

As we have a gym at the office I often see my coworkers nude when changing or showering. From my perspective nothing seems to have change.

Same. No issues.

 

[effedi7]

I joined a volleyball and a football match among colleagues and I was nude with the ones who took a shower.
Time a go I worked out in a gym with colleagues at lunch time and also in that case I took a shower with some of them.
Everything was very natural.
I keep some good memory!

My work situation was sort of similar. I worked in a glass recycling facility. Showers weren’t mandatory but because of the machines in use there was always a fine dust in the air, so by the end of your shift your hair was covered and it was everywhere else in your ears nose skin etc. Everyone showered after the shift, there was only ever 3 of us on at a time so the locker room and showers weren’t huge as a result. I remember 4 shower heads and no dividers, but no one was ever uncomfortable getting their kit off and hopping in. Our shifts were 12 hours long! So everyone was just exhausted at the end, the shower time was basically a time to just clean off and relax, it wasn’t uncommon for us to just stay in there for 20 minutes letting the water rub over us while chatting. No one had a problem facing the other guy. Of course we saw each others dicks, I did enjoy it but I could keep myself under control.
There was plenty of times when the next shift would be changing or hanging around the locker rooms so everyone saw everyone at some stage. There was even some times when the big boss or regional manager would be in the factory, they saw us. We never saw them.

I use the gym at work pretty frequently. While the younger American guys cover up, most everyone else tends not to give a shit. I don't think seeing everyone else's goods creates a huge power / ego dynamic more than it promotes a healthy sense of camaraderie and trust.

I actually took these last week. Some other guy was taking selfies on the opposite side of the mirror as I walked in, then covered up and hit the showers immediately. I was hoping we could exchange pointers.

Gym nudity is so normal though. I think its the fear of locker room shame that people get to caught up in.

Exactly. I’m gen y so my generation is the “towel dance” generation.
I grew up that way, but the older I get, the less I care.
I go naked in the lockeroom all the time now. Men look at my dick and balls all the time. It’s normal.

As I got older it became something I care less about.

I had to share a hotel room recently due to the hotel being sold out for a convention. It was the first time a co worker actually commented on my size directly to me. In the past, I have heard nicknames given to me, but no one had directly paid a compliment. I joked that it had been a perk I received when I got the corner office.

Was he taking his naked, like you? You should have asked him what kind of pic he was going for and offered to take it for him.

 

[GreekXL]

I saw him just as he was covering up with a towel and putting down his phone. You need to get through 2 doors to get into the locker room, so he knew I was incoming after hearing the first one open. Didn't want to make the guy feel awkward, so I walked up to the locker behind him without saying anything.

Cute ginger guy with matching bush...in some alternate reality I might have proposed joint selfies.

You should have taken a selfie right next to him to show that you don’t care if he does

I'm the same way now. I just drop the towel to put on underwear or not cover up while taking it off. I see a lot of guys around doing the towel dance.

 

[Rockhard76]

I just do it. We all need to wash but my co workers do the towel dance.
Don't know why
