I was at my gym this morning where I've been several times per week for about 14 years. After showering I went into the (men only) sauna and a young black man said, "Cracker, put some damn clothes on! I don't want to see your dick!"

I calmly replied that it's absolutely normal to be naked in a sauna; I had a towel to sit on. He said, "That's fucking GAY! Get out of here!"

I said, "Well, you can leave if you're offended. I have been coming into this sauna for many years and I've never seen you."

I sat down intending to stay for 15 or 20 minutes, but he wouldn't stop his rant. He moved as far away as possible and said, "Don't you fucking touch me!"

He was a scrawny guy, and I thought about saying my last few fuck buddies were big, muscular black guys (true), but decided not to escalate and I just left.

Probably he suffers from internalized homophobia.

Appalling behavior... tho it does point to changes in locker room cultures, I think. Now ANY nudity appears to be a problem for a lot of guys.

That bitch needs to learn some manners. You have every right to go in there nude -- and he has every right to leave if he doesn't like it.

I don't make a habit of scoping out guys in the locker room, but I do enjoy seeing what others have hanging between their legs. I was in the locker room today at the fitness center at work and was amazed at the machinations guys went through to avoid being seen. I don't want to be the creepy older guy, but this was ridiculous.

Is there anyone who can provide me with a point of view as to this heightened that does not involve fear?
For me I have a terrible body so I don't show off.at all. I try not to use the gym showers whenever possible.

I find the morning and lunch crowd much less bashful. After dinner until closing is when the prudes arrive.
I agree. I usually hit the gym in the late afternoon. At that time the gym isn't usually that busy but I am the only "towel over the shoulder " guy while everyone else wraps a towel around their waist. I used to be bashful but know I let my dick get some air moving between the showers, sauna and locker. I will have to check out the morning and lunch crowds to see if there is a difference.

I agree sargon20. If a guy is so insecure in his sexuality and masculinity that he can't handle seeing dick and ass in a locker room or having his seen, he should just skip the locker room altogether. The whole purpose of a locker room is to get changed and cleaned up, so nudity is a given and the reason why locker rooms are separated by gender in the first place. Don't even get me started on universal/gender neutral locker rooms. I quit working out at my old university athletic centre because of this.

I have posted about my Y before. I love that it has a "drop your pants at the door" mentality. It has an open shower and a steam room and hot tub that guys use naked. Guys that can't handle nudity don't last long there. Over the last few years, I have noticed a huge uptick in the number of younger guys using it. I think it has finally dawned on them how silly and pointless it is being modest in a locker room. Because the plus locker room comes at a premium price, the wimps usually stay out and use the basic locker room that is included with membership. The basic locker room has an open shower, but no hot tub, steam room or towel service. I see a lot of young guys go in there, and come out a minute later with their gym bag without showering. It must be absolutely exhausting and debilitating being so modest, and there really is no logical or rational need for it. If anything, it draws more attention to the guy that doesn't want to be noticed in the first

I haven't worked up the courage to enjoy the sauna completely nude yet. I have done a towel or boxer briefs. No problem being naked in the hot tub but so far I have been alone. It will interesting to see what happens when I have company.

Let's put things into perspective guys. I see comments that seems to shame guys for wearing a towel around their waist but isn't that a normal behavior when in the company of others who are not close family or a partner? I don't see anything odd about guys wearing a towel around their waist as it could be an act of respect should others not feel comfortable seeing nude strangers. Now in saying that I don't balk at guys that are comfortable parading around the locker room completely nude but I sometimes think those guys are doing so because they want the attention and know that they can get away with doing it without it being thought odd because they are in a locker room. There is a thrill in being nude in front of others for some and those thrill seekers are going to fulfill that thrill at every opportunity. I'm an either or type of guy. I normally wrap myself in a towel and drop my towel when I am ready to dress and I am not shy about being nude before others. There have been times where I've been in a rush and didn't bother wrapping myself in a towel and just walked out nude but it's not the norm for me.

Ive been walking to the gym shower nude with my towel around my neck for awhile now at my gym. Noticing a few more guys getting nude there now. Maybe I started a trend ;)
Same here. Towel around the neck and dick swinging in the breeze. More younger guys at my gym that keep the towel around their waist. To each his own.

What I do not get are the many guys (usually under 30 or so) who use a towel when they undress, so they can pull off underwear and put on sports briefs or whatever under the towel. Same thing after their shower, instead of dropping the towel and just putting in underwear, they pull on the underwwear while towel stil around waists. I am very average hung and a bot self conscious of that in the locer rom, but after a shower, I drop the twoel to the floor, use another towekl to do a fianl dry off, and then put on underwaer. Seems normal to me.

It does not bother me stripping of in the shower room i do not hide my dick but if people don't want to that is up to them maybe they don't like other men looking at their cocks and that is totally up to them, i do not see why some of you have a problem with guy hiding theirs it is like you go to the showers to look at other mens dicks which to me is just creepy

I'm not sure why so many are insecure about what others think. After my workout I generally carry my toiletries to the shower then go back to my locker strip and walk naked with my folded towel and wash cloth in hand. Hang them on a hook walk to the scales and then get in the shower. Walk back to my locker with my towel over my shoulder. I treat the locker room like it's my bathroom at home. Not flaunting but not trying to hide my flaccid dick either. I'm a grower so what they see isn't all I've got biggrin.
Exactly. No flaunting here either but feeling comfortable in one's own skin. No reason to be embarrassed. I started going to my company's gym a few months ago to firm up my "dad bod" and I feel more comfortable now than when I first started.

I have stopped using the gym locker room due to the fact that my body is totally embarrassing. I don't need anyone looking down on me because of it. Although I have no problem with people checking guys out in the locker room, many have worked out so they can show it off and it's good for them for having a body to show. I also agree that many of these men are super creepy, which is a second reason i don't use the locker room.

I totally get how a guy could be modest or not comfortable about his body. Like you I have a dad bod but getting g to the gym makes me feel better over all.

For a while pre COVID I started to use the gym near my office before work. Bumped in to one of the execs who worked out there too. We acknowledged each other while working out. Then I noticed he would hit the locker room the same time as me and I could sense he would be checking me out esp in the showers. I didn’t mind if sorta felt like a compliment since he has a great gym build - he worked out twice a day. I would compliment him and he would flex and show off naked when I did. And he’d pop a semi too.
One thing is that he started to shave his pubes off and would do it in the showers.
Strange to get to know a co-worker in such a different light.

I got bold today and went to the sauna with a small towel covering my cock. Nobody was in there except me but I am not there (sitting with my cock out) yet. Maybe next time. The majority of people wear towels even when the gym isn't busy. Not me in the pic but an example of how I was relaxing in the sauna.
