Shaving naked in front of others

[swimmerguydfw]

Exactly how it was in my house.
My father grew up in a family of 10, 4 brothers shared one room, one bathroom for everyone. Little privacy there I would guess.
Then, like your dad in the Navy, my dad was in the Army in WW2. No privacy there either.
So growing up, sharing the bathroom with my dad was just natural. My sister got to use the other bathroom which was fine for me because I wanted to be with my dad in the morning.

Sounds like our backgrounds are very similar. Both of my parents grew up in big families---with few bedrooms and only a single bathroom as well---so at least seeing family members of the same sex in any manner of undress was no big deal. Additionally, they grew up in semi-rural environments...so at least with the guys, going to the "swimmin' hole" naked was no big deal, either. I guess that they just carried that attitude forward...and I'm glad they did because I'm not all hung up on hiding myself. And, I had a great relationship with my dad and brother. It was a lot more open between us shootin'-the-shit while we were shaving/showering.

Well, I am also from a big family - nine in all - that spent most of our formative years in a relatively small house.

With zero nudity...

Well, it's not as if we ran around naked all the time. And, I certainly never saw my mom and sister in a state of undress...unless I accidentally walked in on them, and then backed out immediately. But, I guess it's all in the attitude. My parents never made a big deal of there being anything "nasty" about our bodies...so we never thought it untoward, at least regarding the same sex. And, it sure was a lot more convenient not to have to wait around for my dad and my brother to finish up before I could use the bathroom.

I’ve shaved naked all my life - I always shave after I get out of the shower in the morning. Shave and brush teeth at night naked since I also sleep in the nude. Divorced dad here, and nudity is common at home. I also shave naked at the gym too if I have an early morning workout.

I would assume most dads do.

Much the same in my house: five sons sharing a bathroom, often with dad (Mum bathed in the evenings) so no chance for privacy or excess modesty. We all grew up watching our dad shave naked while we too used the bathroom and I've raised my own sons, and taught them to shave, in the same way. It just seems natural to me.

LOL...I think that you might be more of a rarity than you think.

My real dad was zero nudity never saw him naked once. Then when they split up and my step dad moved in and I had to very quickly get used to it. He was ex army and I remember being shocked and nervous the first time I saw him totally naked. He insisted on it being the norm so had no choice really. He would shave naked while I showered, We would shower naked together and he would was clearly very confident naked around other guys. I just wish my real dad had the same attitude.

a good straight mate and me would visit a turkish spa ever few months for an evening. it was men only on the days we went and nudity was never an issue. we only ever sat on towels.....never wore them. And we'd always have a shave there - fully nude, side by side. It was really nice - just good buddies, no hangups and no clothes. More guys should do that!

 

[EmperorJimbo]

i like that line: no hangups and no clothes.

I learned how to shave naked after a shower. I shaved naked without a towel in college. I shaved naked in the Army and I shaved naked when I had share the bathroom with 6 other men.

Same here. Both my father and my grandfather shaved naked after their showers so I just followed their lead. I think they were proud I had no hang ups around them.

I assume at least some of his confidence was a big soft. I'd love to shave naked in front of someone but my soft is not as large as I'd like, and I would definitely want it to be. On hard I'm definitely not ashamed, but when soft, especially if it gets cool, naturally retracts a lot more than I like. A cock has a life of its own on soft, lol.

LOL...I feel your pain, as I've got the same issue---especially if I've been swimming. But honestly, being around a lot of naked guys shaving or showering, you realize that it's actually the same problem for most men. Yeah, there are a few (my dad was one) who hung big and low even soft. But, most guys are just like us. It's just a matter of getting comfortable with it...

@bravesoldier I feel the same as you on this 100%. I also shave naked. While I'm flaccid, I wish my turtle penis would come out to watch. I live in the mountains at 6000' elevation so it is cold here more than warm.

Seconded. My decidedly average cock does the same shrinkage trick if I've been working our hard but it doesn't stop me from doing my stuff in the buff.

Besides which, down my gym the sinks are right next to the communals, and there's therefore sod all point wearing anything when you're having a shave when you're obviously naked in the showers anyway.

Exactly...and if it's crowded and steamy in the room to begin with, there's just no point keeping a towel around you anyway. I usually find that after a warm shower, my cock pretty much lengthens out to where it should be. And then---as I've seen many guys do---you can also "help it along" a little while soaping up in the shower (if you're not too obvious about it!)......

Some readers will likely think this odd, but I prefer to have a shave before I get in the shower - both so the shower can take care of the leftover soap afterwards, and because I like to get shaving done first so I can enjoy a good long soak. Though then again I'm a very average middle aged bloke with a very average middle aged body, and I'm well past caring if anyone notices that my todger is playing hide and seek anyhow.

LOL! Actually, I'm with you all the way around. I shave first, then shower. And I'm also past the age of caring much...if I ever even did.

I went to college when open shorts were the norm. In the dorm, all the guys shaved naked at the sinks. No hang ups at all. Shaving naked at the sink continued after college at the gym I went to. No big deal as we were all running around naked whether you were in the sauna or showers. My sons and I shave naked at the sink while getting ready in the mornings. No big deal. I want my sons not to feel ashamed to be naked when around other men. Today’s young guys at my gym would freak out and run if they saw a guy naked while changing clothes let alone shaving at a sink. Go figure.

That's awesome. I grew up shaving nude with my dad, and my grandpa when I stayed over at his house. Great memories from those times.

I've told the story here about the first time I shaved at the YMCA and wore boxer shorts to the sink area only to find all the men shaving nude ! That was the last time I did that (shaving in boxer shorts).
