I was working a tournament for 7th, 8th, and 9th graders recently. It was at a school that was a K to 8th grade school. The locker room however was huge and a unique to anything I have ever seen shower set up. They had 3 Bradley poles, but each was in like its own cave. The back wall was solid both sides had a half wall but you could see over to the other showers but couldn't walk to them without going back into the main locker room area. The front had a half wall too, but in the middle was open doorway size from floor to ceiling.

I was shocked to see several of the schools 7th/8th grade basketball players use the showers as they finished practice as we were doing weigh ins. And more of the tournament participants used them that weekend than is normal for that age group tournament.

Maybe there is hope in the future.

The school and tournament does have a very strict rule on having cell phones out while in the locker room. Immediate expulsion from the tournament and from school if you attend there.

I like the communal experience. With many years of equating gym life and sports as including open showers I would miss them. So when I look for a gym it is one of the things I consider.

The downtown Y I go to has open bay showers, just seems natural to me like Jr High, High School and College showers

Same with my Y. That was a HUGE factor in my decision to get a membership there 4 years ago.

Two thoughts. I have enjoyed walking around locker rooms naked since seventh grade. I would have hated to grow up in a generation like today that is so homophobic and have their reality about penis size determined by porn and not comparing with peers. My other thought is about being nude. I enjoy the primal nude feeling in gyms or nude beaches. I don't get hard. I don't think of sex. It's not on my mind. As read posts it's obvious by the comments who has been into nudity and who has not, this sexualizing it only because clothes are off.

Odd that there is not more activity on this thread. Maybe the days of the open shower are fading. I am of the age which caught the tail end of open shower era, the era before 24/7 porn available on our phones. Today's younger generations have complexes as they are bombarded with images of huge swinging cocks. Back in the day, images of sexuality were confined to magazines which you might peruse only a couple times a year. Now everyone does the towel dance in shame as they "clearly" have too small a cock to reveal in public. Open showers are left to many of the Y's that have old facilities and the majority of naked men walking around are older and comfortable in their own skin. There is definitely a pretty big divide. I have always enjoyed being naked in front of both men and women. The only complex I have admittedly is that my cock is pretty big when erect but not so impressive limp. So I always resort to playing with myself a bit both before and during the shower to keep a semi which hangs pretty low given that I am pretty thick and heavy. So I guess I have an insecurity as well, I will admit, but that does not keep me out of the shower. I feel sorry for the guys confined to their shower stalls dragging around a change of clothes. The allure of walking around naked and feeling the gaze of other people upon you is strangely intoxicating......

Our local pool showers are all open. A few have stalls with curtains within the open shower area but they are pretty much only used when guys want to shave their ball sacs in private. Once in a while, you get the guys who shower in their trunks, for religious reasons obviously, but the rest of us shower sans suits. It is a great opportunity for bonding and just being guys.

The pool showers at my gym are next to the pool so you have to use them wearing your swimwear. Yesterday I watched a guy using the end shower trying to wash his cock and ass whilst still wearing his jammers. He just looked so ridiculous. If I want to get naked for my after swim shower I have to go to the gym changing room. There are also a team room and sauna next to the pool and you have to wear your swim wear in there. Very poorly designed layout.

Great time at my new gym in Paris this noon. There were 3 open showers and 2 small cubicles. Most guys (mainly in their twenties) chose the open showers.

Some (like me) would strip naked at their locker and walk with towel around their shoulders, some would strip by the showers. But we would all be proud of our manhood and shower naked.

It felt great.

Thanks

Pretty hard to swallow... er, let me rephrase that.... difficult to believe that sex "isn't on your mind" when you're naked. I mean, I get what you mean; you don't strip for the PURPOSE of sex in these situations, but isn't sex CONSTANTLY on your mind, like every other guy?

You are spot-on, brother. I'm am grateful to have grown up with open showers. I remember the first time I walked naked to a shower in school and felt proud of my pubic hair and the fact that I was able to shower with the older guys. I guess I can't state the age her because lpsg is careful about such references, but let's just say it was 3 x 4 years old. I've been loving locker rooms ever since.

Another brilliant contribution of religion.
