Should gay / bi activities be allowed in gym locker rooms?

[ledroit]

If a gay man lifts weights, is that a gay activity?

"How do you even know that you aren't being recorded? People have access to capable technology easier. You could be recorded and put on some website for all you know."

God, I hope so!!


I've had some incredible experiences in the gym locker rooms, with gay and straight dudes. Very happy memories. Thanks to all who participated!

But put a lot of naked men together in one room with sweat and heightened pulses, and they're going to start looking at each other. And there's not a damn thing you or anybody else can do about it. It's the nature of the beast.

Yeah. I agree. There are things that are out of anyone's control. You make the rules and other people find ways of breaking them. Remember that.

How paranoid are you willing to be? Are you going to start wearing a burqa so no-one will ever see you naked?

Burqas...don't you think that you are being extreme about this? I don't have a problem with men seeing me naked. It is the men that do have a problem seeing me naked. I am pretty considerate.

I am happy with partitioned private showers. I can take a shower without any problems. Communal showers...not me.

I think it would be wise to wear a towel in the sauna, or at least to sit on one, to keep the benches clean. It's different if the sauna is in your home and you can scrub it yourself regularly.

Sex? That belongs someplace private.

It is a gym not a bath house, so no I don't tihnk that sexual activity should be allowed. As for the towel issue, for health reasons yes but otherwise let it all hang out in the wind.

I suspect this is to discourage any gay or bi activity from going on in the locker rooms, activities I see nothing wrong with this as long it is between consenting adults.

are u f'ing serious dude? How did you think people would respond to this? There's a time and a place! In a public setting, where there coiuld be kids potentially, as well as straight guys, this is a perfectly acceptable rule.

Isn't it time we ignored the "I want" brigade.

Of course they're not - that's a pointless thing to say. Hetero "activities" as you describe them are clearly impossible in a locker room environment because the sexes are separated. But put a lot of naked men together in one room with sweat and hightened pulses, and they're going to start looking at each other. And there's not a damn thing you or anybody else can do about it. It's the nature of the beast.

This is one of the dumbest things I have seen posted. You mean you can't hold back for 20 minutes from wanting to have sex with someone? The nature of the beast. This is ammo for people who want to keep gays out of the military. If anyone from the Army were to read this, the don't ask don't tell repealers would have some explaining to do.

If you are that horny, get a room.

As for the towel. standard bathroom etiquette is eyes forward. So now you are going to have your junk on display and as someone pointed out, possibly brushing up against parts of the bathroom sinks that others will touch. We have people who won't touch bathroom door handles. They take a paper towel to open it, but you could put your cock in the sink. Nope.

I played sports year-round in HS and seasonally in college. We never walked around naked. Common courtesy was to wrap a towel around your waist. It doesn't hurt you in the least.

Lastly, it should not be accepted that having sex in a lockeroom is ok. If my gf and I were alone in there I would admit I would be tempted, but if we were caught and they threw me out I would have no complaints.

Because "gay/bi sex" is so obviously MUCH worse.

Take your heterosexism elsewhere.

IMO children should not be exposed to straight sex in a locker room or sauna. Never mind gay/bi sex.

Even as a gay man, I don't want to see that at the gym. If we're talking your standard gym with men of mixed orientations.

I'm at the gym to workout, relax a little, and maybe surreptitiously checkout what's hangin' :wink:. I'm not there for porn or to get off.

Walking into the hot tub room and seeing two men going at it is somewhat unsettling because it's not "the baths". And I've been in that situation.

As a hot scene in a XXX movie, it's great. In real life, not so much.

If I joined a gym that was very upfront that sexual activity was permitted and encouraged, at least I'd have that info up front. (And did belong to such a gym in the 80s in Denver.) But I don't know of any gyms in my area that include that as part of the package. So I would neither expect nor want it.

I used to have a membership to Lifetime and I have never heard of an announcement like that. I was a member in the midwest where I thought would be more conservative, but hell for the premium you pay for Lifetime you should be able to get naked if you so choose.

I still know of friends who pay $20 for family memberships to Lifetime since they've been members since the beginning... Im extremely jealous...

 

[dolfette]

hmmm...should there be naked junk brushing up against the sinks where people wash their hands?...it's a tricky one!

 

[catman]

try and stop it...

oh and stop folks from breathing, eating and peeing too while you are at it...

sheesh.

 

[dolfette]

i'll just come in and rub my vag on the faucets.

 

[Trouty]

i'll just come in and rub my vag on the faucets.

Pix or I won't believe you can do it :biggrin1:

 

[latinluva]

No there shouldn't be any sexual activity at the gym. Nudity yes, but no sex.

 

[joeweekend]

Geez, why the fear of nudity?

Everyone's naked under his clothes.

One wonders whether the country is still being run by a bunch of puritan pilgrims.

 

[B_Hung Jon]

Yeh, I think people should be able to suck and fuck anywhere they want! Let's start doing it between the parked cars downtown! Thousand people orgies sound like an new expression of freedom! ;-)

 

[Wish-4-8]

There is a time and place for everything. In the end, its just tacky. It doesnt matter if the activilty is straight or gay. Its basically sex in public. And worse if you are a paying member and it is "forced" into your own environment. Gyms have so many rules. So does life.

Sex in a gym in not a natural part of gyms. Nakedness is to be argured back and for. I am inclined to say that it is a natural part, but honestly dont mind the cover up rule. I will agree with Dolfette that maybe there are health reasons for the use of towels at the sink.

People will still do what they want regardless, and I think the fact that everyone knows that its not allowed, makes the kink factor that much more alluring. Still inappropriate.
