Showers after sport

[S_Dick]

In high school, after soccer practice and games our whole team would shower in the open gang showers. A few guys would keep their shorts on the whole time, but they usually got made fun of for it. You would all ways see one or two guys sporting wood in the shower. Most would try to cover it up, others would show off their hard ons proudly, either ignoring it or straight up calling attention to it. Our goalie, Don, was a big guy, 6'2" 200 some lbs of mussel and fat. He was a hairy Italian guy, where as the rest of us were still in varying stages of development. Still to this day he had one of the thickest cocks I have ever seen. It was only about 5.5” long but it was as thick around as your forearm with a massive head the size of a tennis ball. He didn't give a shit about getting a hard on either. If he got wood in the shower he would just talk about how he was going to fuck his girlfriend with it later. He would say how ‘she loves my thickness’ and how he would ‘fill her up’ with it. Looking back, I think he was doing it to get a rise out of the other guys, and it usually worked. I remember if he started going on about his hard cock you would inevitably see a few other guys get hard too.

I had just barely made varsity and I was one of the younger guys on the team at that time. I was a sophomore when they were all upperclassmen (not bragging, I think I played like one game that whole season). They were all a lot more developed and hairier than I was and I was amazed to see the way they acted around each other. In JV we never showered together, let alone talked while doing it(!) I also felt pretty insecure about how I stacked up. A few times I got hard in the showers and couldn’t hide it. They would tease me without mercy, just like any other guy on the team, but I think I was too young to fully understand it was a joke. The team captain was a really nice senior guy. We lived near each other and he drove me home once or twice after a particularly tough post practice haze and told me it was no big deal. He said something about how we were all on the same team and they were just initiating me in. Eventually I got used to it and got the nickname ‘young gun’, as I was the sophomore on the team, but also because my dick stuck straight out when it was hard, (I am sure Don the goalie gave me that nickname as he was the kind of guy to talk about the shape of your cock or how your hard on stacked up to the guy next to you and shit like that) I always felt like it was a jab at my size, which was actually probably as big as the other guys at the time, if not bigger than some. Like I said, I was still developing but my dick had started to get pretty big by then. I was always worried I was smaller than the older guys but looking back I was probably about average. You just see what you think you see at that age.

I thought it was a bad nickname but one time I was eating lunch with a bunch of my friends (also underclassmen probably) and a few of the older players walked by. It was cool to know some upperclassmen but I was so worried they were going to fuck with me in front of my friends. As they walked by one of them tussled my hair and said ‘hey young gun, keep pointing north’ (the direction of the opposing goal on our field). The goalie, Don, went up to one of the girls I was sitting with and said ‘do you know why we call him young gun?’ and whispered something in her ear. I was so sure he was going to say something bad about me. I found out later that apparently he told her I was one of the hung guys on the team as that rumor went around the girls, and the guys, in our class for awhile.

It’s funny, when we were in the locker room we were all merciless to one another, teasing and hazing that could get pretty extreme, but out side of the field and locker room we all looked out for one another. You did what you could to make your teammate look good in front of that cute girl.

I never did thank Don for spreading that info.

Played rugby and we always showered together after a match or post game party and nakedness usually broke out at the parties sporadically too. Was never a big thing, I just don't understand the hang ups that some have these days, but then again everyone wasn't afraid of someone posting a pic to the web of them bare ass back then either. Even still, seems dudes just get too self conscious lately it's not like we don't all have the same basic thing in different sizes.

To use an old quote "You are not special. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.' They just need to get over their anxiety, man up and take a damn shower.

I think the proliferation of porn has convinced guys they don't measure up to porno standards so they hide behind the "towel dance" or more likely skip the public shower altogether.

I never played team sports but tend to do outdoor activities: mountain biking, skiing, backpacking etc. I've done lots of long-distance hiking with friends. At the end of a 15-20 mile day with a full load of gear, I am always ready for a shower. I go to the stream, fill up a water bag, hang it from a tree and "shower/bathe" under it (in general I try not to bathe in any water source even with biodegradable soap.)

Thinking back to many of my long-distance hikes, I don't remember for the life of me if I usually had privacy from my friends or not. Since the woods/mountains are vast, and I wasn't showering right by our tent site, it was usually secluded. I was never actively seeking privacy, so if my buddies saw me, no big deal. I am always so beat after a long hike that nothing could possibly be arousing. I just am thinking about eating and sleeping!

in basic training, we had 5 showers for 22 people, and usually had only 15 mins after PT for showers, so it would be 1 in for getting wet, then next one goes in while you soap up, then swap over to wash off after. we have all seen everything of eachother

We'll do the same after hockey. Just the 2 showerheads, so a lot of the time 2 guys will get wet, swap and soap up, etc. On occasion people will bring beer too and we've taken it into the showers.

I agree about the porn and not measuring up has a lot to do with it but also the lack of mandatory physical education classes with mandatory showers after at schools is also to blame. Young men are not exposed to the range of body types and sizes including that of cock and ball sizes that are in the population.Therefore they resort to the towel dance or skip the public shower altogether.

I’ve got a small tool. Tiny when erect, but have always showered after sports, mainly at my rowing club, where I trained every single day except Saturdays. Needless to say, I was one of the smallest at the open shower stalls at my rowing club.

This is British army sorry pal

played several sports in high school many years ago was required you took a shower wasnt a big deal for me as i was raised we all have the same equipment just different sizes it was gang showers so we saw each other naked no big deal .after that i went to the marines gang showers there to saw eachother nude after pt and at night before bed to tired after a day of marine bootcamp to care much as so tired .i see older guys in the gym that just walk to showers naked like me and young ones are saying i wish they would cover up dont need to see that .

Rugby is not only open to nudity but encourages it.
After training or playing, coming together to the locker room, getting naked and under the hot showers is as much if a team building experience and any of coach's speeches.
We are all big lads and banter is intrinsic to the rugby life, and with banter comes lots of harmless nudity.
Sometimes we'll end up so full of mud that the team has to hose down outside the locker room block and just run for the shower, that's how casual nudity is.
The coach/coaches shower with the team only when needed (rainy days and certain victory celebrations)
Some of the new lads need a crash course in manliness and being naked around teammates, but they never struggle more than a day.

Crash course?

I’ve got a mate in the army in the U.K. i know from him that nudity is still pretty common place and guys are very open and telaced around each other in the barracks. Gang showers are still the norm in that environment.

All of the teams I was on showered - naked - after practice.
Hockey team was the best because we had our own showers at the ice rink.

I admire your attitude, great!

My penis is small, too, but that never stopped me from showering.

It's all about confidence. I'm average sized myself, and it has never stopped me from using the open showers after exercise. Porn size cocks are in the extreme minority in my experience, and I have showered with literally thousands of guys over the last 30+ years. If more guys actually showered in locker rooms like you and I, they would understand right away that they have nothing to be ashamed of.

Crash course?

In a positive way, walking into a locker room can be intimidating, specially when joining a team (or trying to) as you don't know what you are going to find.
To break the ice, we give the new lads their own gear, from our "used" stock (don't worry, it's faded and worn but has been washed) and this includes a jockstrap, something rugby clubs seem to be forgetting about and that we enforce.
This doesn't happen in a corner or in the kit room, it happens in the locker and it's part of the crash course, we want them to feel part of the team and leave their "insecurities" out from the beginning.
We don't do weird hazing shit, it's just a bunch of blokes being loud and obnoxious, supporting and cracking pretty bad jokes (harmless banter)

Very hot stories here.

I wanted to know your experience about showering after sport; I don't mean fitness center experiences, I rather mean competing in some sport. Which sports are more open to nakedness than others?
If you took/take a shower (which implies seeing other mates naked), which sport did/do you practice? If not, is it a common behavior fo shower at home?
Does/did your coach shower with you? have you ever seen him naked?
Have you ever remarked different habits with mates not belonging to your club in sport competitions? maybe international ones?

So I’ve participated in several different sports, including swimming and wrestling when I was younger, to baseball and football through high school and then college baseball. Mostly, showering after a game and/or practice is similar in each sport with a few differences.

If I had to pick, I would say football and wrestling are the two sports where the guys are more free about nudity. I always just guessed it was because there really was no way around it. After swimming or baseball, a shower isn’t always required for everyone, depending on what position you play in baseball and how much you swam. Plus, in swimming you could always leave your suit on. Wrestlers have the singlet with little or nothing else, so they’re going to be nude just by changing and you’re always sweaty no matter what...same with football with all the gear, pads and the sweaty helmet. So you shower and the culture is just different because of it.

I showered after nearly every sporting event, including practice and games because I was pretty confident about myself and my body and I didn’t give a shit really. I lived a little further away from the school so I had to ride/drive longer to get home and didn’t want to do it soaking wet with sweat and smelling bad.

We had some coaches that showered with us and some that didn’t. A lot of times it just depended on the circumstances. Some locker rooms/schools have separate changing areas and showers for the coaches while others only have one. Some coaches would choose to shower and some wouldn’t. In high school, I quit wrestling and swimming and stuck to baseball and football. On most every away trip, I would say the coaches for both sports would shower with us as most visitor locker rooms don’t provide additional areas for coaches to shower. My dad was my college baseball coach (which is a whole other story) and he always showered with the team. I am now a high school baseball coach and I shower with the team most of the time, especially on away trips. I don’t put up with nasty, smelly nonsense on long bus rides home after games. I help with the football team at my high school and the coaches usually shower with the team unless there’s another option which is rare. But like I said, it depends on the circumstances I guess.

And the only differences in habits internationally was most guys that come in from other countries are much more free about nudity and couldn’t care less about it. They joke less about it and are more carefree because it’s their culture. It’s not taboo like it is in many places in America.

How does it feel like knowing what your coach is packing???

How do you think your team feel about your nudity? Do they ever check you? Did you notice?

Is there a difference in their behaviour after seeing you naked?

Did you ever observe any desiring gazes in showers both in your current team and in your former teams?

I have asked a lot many things. Sorry
Because I am curious. I have never been involved in team sports. All I know depends on my friends' stories.

Actually I am asking those questions to all of you here who were/are involved in team sports.
