It all depends on where you are... .at my gym guys go in with shorts and t shirts (gross), just shorts, or nude with towels around their waist to sit on (which I do). If I'm alone or just with a buddy I uncover and sit nude; otherwise, I'll keep the junk covered, as some don't like it on display. It's amazing how different gym policies can be totally different-some are nude only, some are covered only---makes no sense to me why so different.

When I'm visiting somewhere else, I watch what others are doing..."when in Rome" is kind of my guideline.....

Might do a search on this topic. I’ve replied to this kind of thread on here before, just don’t recall the forum.
I agree that it’s completely dependent on the culture of the gym. See what others are doing and follow suit. At the very least I will sit on a towel.

I'm a sauna/steam room guy who enjoys messing around in there, BUT... I always go in with a towel wrapped around my waste. If everyone is mega Victorian, the towel stays on. If a few guys keep coming back for more, I'll unwrap the towel and let them take the lead. Towels get loosened, there's your signal. Nothing happens, there's your other signal. If genitals get exposed, invariably mine get itchy. If theirs do too, well, it's time to do a little discrete stroking. That's basically it. I don't want to offend anyone. But I don't want to miss a golden opportunity either.

At my popular gym in a medium sized city in California, guys use the sauna in all states of dress. It is adjacent to the showers and whirlpool. It seems to be perfectly acceptable to sit on a towel naked. Other than one guy who eventually had his membership revoked, I have not witnessed any cruisy behavior. However, the city is small enough to offer virtually no anonymity.
