Straight guys: how would you react?

[bigwillywonka]

Not a problem, I'd say thanks can look all you want and I finish up and move on. Nice to be complimented.

 

[up4any1]

I'd say thanks, adjust it abit and move on

 

[twoton]

I'd probably grunt, "huh?" and look at him out of the corner of my eye and leave. But I generally stand close enough to the urinal so no one can see anyway.

 

[OKCLane]

The whole urinal etiquette is silliness.
I don't think that orientation matters. I'm a gay man and I don't want you complimenting my dick when I'm taking a piss. Save it for the bath house.

 

[At.your.cervix]

I've had that happen to me several times. It's made me feel quite uneasy, even though I knew the comment was made as a compliment. Maybe because I was teased about it when I was younger. When it's happened, I've just mumbled an uncomfortable "thanks" and gotten out of there ASAP. When I go to take a piss, or put my clothes on after a work-out, I'm not at all desiring to be the object of another man's lust.

Let's say that you are in a gym or public bathroom, and another guy notices your penis and compliments you on it, obviously while looking at it directly. How would you react? Would you let him look as long as he liked?

I would acknowledge the compliment. Then probably just continue getting dressed. I would certainly appreciate the direct comment over the guy just staring and not saying anything or pretending that he is not staring. I have had some creepy guys be super awkward at a nude beach. Just staring at a body with out acknowledging the person is not respectful and makes things uncomfortable. I think this is the kind of dysfunction that too much porn can cause. So remember when you see a body, there is a person there too, to stare at the body with out seeing the person is insulting their personality, intelligence, and soul.

 

[Itsmeandyou]

Gee, thanks.

 

[Mick2016]

I'd not be offended or anything, but I'd probably turn away a little and continue to get changed. Nothing wrong with noticing, but staring is a bit much.

 

[Iron_man_69]

Thats pretty much happened to me...walking out of the showers towel on shoulder, cock swinging and two guys at my gym stood looked and smiled. I stopped chatted and moved on - all good.

 

[N68]

well, presumably i've got someplace to be. so, he can look, but when im done, im washing my hands and going home.

 

[thebiggulp]

I find the entire idea weird and creepy. I see beautiful men every day (not just talking cocks, here), but what I think of them is hardly worth voicing in public. Put the shoe on the other foot. Would you say to a woman, "Wow, you have outstanding tits"?

 

[Allen67]

I would thank him for the complement. It doesn't hurt me to have someone look at me. If you're worried about someone looking in a locker room, you should do a better job of covering yourself.

 

[palakaorion]

Locker room, where nudity is expected: take the compliment, advise of orientation and status. Endeavor to be more discreet around him next time.

Public restroom, no expectation of being cruised: zip up, wash up, leave. I'm there to pee.

 

[Black_Frost]

It's happened. I thank them for the compliment. If they get creepy-stalkerish, I tell them "Thanks, but I'm not interested." "Third time, I'm not polite about it." Unwanted touching or fondling is assault, and I'll deck the motherfucker.

There was a clothing-optional camping festival, some years back, that I attended. Someone I happened to know had just come-out as bisexual, and was walking into the mens' shower cubicles and fondling anyone he decided he wanted to fondle. Anyone objected, he'd start going after them and calling them homophobic. He eventually was told to stop, or he'd be thrown out of the festival and reported to the cops. Naturally, being the asshole he was, he claimed he was being oppressed for celebrating his sexuality.

He's very, very lucky he never tried that with me. Of course, he knew me, and we didn't like each other to begin with.

Most guys, fortunately, aren't like that, and know how to respect the word "no." Because sexual assault is sexual assault, no matter the gender of the person being non-consentually groped and/or fondled.

 

[pursine]

There are various ways to signal interest or disinterest/approval or disapproval without descending into mild hysteria. Be cool.

I like this

 

[912164]

Experienced this a few times. No biggie.

 

[petergroot]

Have been complimented.
Said thanks.

 

[Alpha_Bottom]

The most honest way would be to politely decline, with a smile and a "thanks for the interest". and that goes for str8 , gay, bi or any sex. No one offended and thus no one hurt. And that goes for any he or she on the other end of the approach they should learn to understand it, and react correctly to the situation, less rapes and violence, "The real reason for sex education."

 

[OlderNudistM]

Simply, I would be polite for any compliments or comments and continue with my business whether it is to get dressed or make my way to the showers.
