Here's my "reasoned" and "thoughtful" observation: You seem to have a particular fixation on this subject, though you frequently complain that it's stupid. It's interesting that roughly half of your posts, and presumably much of your reading, is in threads dealing with topics of natural nudity, and particularly nudity a gym setting. Posts like this one, for example:
Add in a few posts about pube trimming, the stupidity of speedo swimwear, and the threat of gays in the military, and that pretty much covers your post history.
Me wonders if the gentleman doth protest too much.
Hmmm,,,,well maybe I just have too much time on my hands.
But Those are all topics that I comment on that someone else wrote about. I guess there is a common thread and I get your point from "Shakespeare's Hamlet" maybe I am a closet nudist or a closet Gay although I do list that at 1% (like to keep my options open lol).
But if I were either, I am still pretty sure that I would practice either one in the privacy of my home or with like minded people. Im far from prudish or bashful about my body, the USMC saw to that, and before that I wrestled in high school and locker room nudity was normal.
But both in the USMC and in wrestling there was a reason for it just as there is at any gym or spa. I address my comments to those, and I think we all know who I am talking about that want to make a locker room setting their own little nudist colony.
As I pointed out in an earlier post, I don't care who showers and who doesn't and is it really any ones business that someone does a "towel dance"? But I have taken note of some guys, you can't miss them, that make a day or at least 90 minutes or so of hanging out naked in a locker room. On a number of occasions I have arrived at the gym and there is one or two of these guys hanging out in all their glory talking to anyone who will give them the time as I change and then go lift for maybe an hour. When I return to shower they are still there, or they are using the blow dryer to dry their nether regions (why?) then they slowly place lotion all over themselves as they bend over again and again at every compass point....I'll pass them quickly for fear that they might want to talk to me as they do this, go take a steam, shower and emerge only to find them still nude chatting with some other unfortunate soul or trying to to apply more lotion.
Now I know that I am not alone in these observations. There was a famous Craigslist Rave that went over this, and the local talk radio show here as a weekly segment called the "Hour of rage" where callers vent about things. A number of those rage calls were about this very topic, apparently there is real locker room rage occurring among the average populace...
Even Saturday Night Live had a skit that it ran with these two old dudes hanging out naked in a locker room to the disgust and fear of other gym members who had to view them.
It may be that some people, just like in other everyday activities, have to be reminded to not intrude on another persons space or to be courteous. So its my goal to remind some of you to be courteous, use a towel.
Some of you need to use two towels, but I digress...
