What are your gym showers like?

[PenDragon_V]

my gym showers aren't completed yet but once they are its basically just a single shower unit like you have at home, I have an unusual gym

 

[TTJamie]

You said in Surrey and it reminded me of the leisure centre in Learherhead, a town in Surrey

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. No, not there haha sorry. I haven't been living here too long

 

[meatal_head]

An ideal gym shower for me would be open shower no door water so hot it would sting you with soap dispensers. I like the poles that have six shower heads on one pole.

I only got to use those on one pole a few times and it was amazing.

its open and there are a couple of guys that love putting on a show when they are there . i must say i don't mind watching the show hehe

2 Open shower rooms. Towel hooks are in the wet area entrance room adjacent to the 2 shower rooms. They also have fresh towels there, so many of us often just walk from locker to shower naked, then grab a towel after.

I work at a college in town so I use their gym facility. Showers there are separated with opaque (plastic?) walls and curtains.
Well they are a bunch of conservatives and (echoing other replies here) and it does attract a stiff crowd. I always try and peak for some goods

My older gym (in a European country) had stalls without curtains... that was definitely more fun!

my gym went from a single, large room with 16 shower heads to individual stalls. same showers; just added walls and curtains. bummer.

 

[SilverTrain]

Open showers, 10 shower heads. Everyone stares at my body (and everyone else's, I'd imagine). Most of them do it surreptitiously, but they all manage to get at least one solid look at the cock and balls. It's rather amazing.

The gym I just visited had partitioned showers, no curtains or doors, but they faced a wall of basins and mirrors - it seems to keep the voyeurs, exhibitionists, and the more modest happy.

i'm terrified of entering the shower/locker room because i know what will happen: i will look and get an erection, and be labelled a perv. or, i'll spot someone observing my nude body and they'd be a face not approving of what they're viewing. i am very hairy waist down; hair inside crevices.. meanwhile, my chest is kinda smooth, i'm slim but definitely not toned. if neither of those two, then maybe i'll walk in dudes pleasuring each other or something.

I think you are building it up to be a bigger deal than it really is. Most guys will glance at you, and then not look at you again, and won't even care that you are there. You are projecting your own insecurities about your body. The reality is that there will always be guys there that have a better body than you, and there will always be guys that have a worse body than you. In over 26 years of using open showers and having showered with literally thousands of guys, I have never once seen anything sexual happen. As for boners, we are all guys and get them. Once you desensitize yourself to the situation, the boners will stop. If anything, I have to fluff a little now to keep a respectable size. There are lots of ways to deal with unwanted boners.

when i went to golds gym many years ago it was an open room with shower heads on the wall. i guess its hormones or something but at the time i wasnt turned on to guys like today but i did like seeing so much dick. today the gyms in my area all have separate cubicles.....the sauna on the other hand, about half the people who used it were naked, the other half either with shorts or wrapped in a towel. i had a trainer who was a big black guy with a perfect body, looked like superman.....i come out of the shower and sitting on the bench getting dressed and he comes up cause his locker is next to mine and gets undressed. with me sitting down and him standing up talking to me, his humongous dick was swinging in my face....damn near to his knee.

it was like putting a cookie on a dogs nose and telling him he cant eat it.

I agree with AG08 about being able to deal with the situation just fine once you're in it. One thing that I found that kept me from getting boned up when I felt like it was about to happen was the following. Turn the shower pressure up as high as you can and position yourself so that the spray is near the top of your chest. I found it hard to breathe and uncomfortable and any hint of a hardon went away pretty quickly. The water didn't need to be cold, and the pressure on my chest was enough.

Could you elaborate on the show?

 

[braalian]

Despite there being plenty of hot, naked men all around, I have found that popping a hardon in the locker room is surprisingly a non-issue for me. It just doesn't happen.

And it must be a non-issue for most other guys, too. I know there is a good-ish amount of gay/bi guys at any gym, but I can count on one hand the number of real hardons I've seen in a locker room. And in those cases it wasn't even sexy, so much as just weird and awkward. I love to appreciate a nice boner in other contexts, but in the locker room, I just feel weird and look away quickly.

With all that said, it is not at all uncommon for me to sport a firm semi while lifting weights, particularly when benching heavy. But I've noticed many guys get semis while lifting, both gay and straight. No one seems to care. I doubt there's even anything really sexual about it. I'm guessing there's just a surge of testosterone while lifting or something that causes it.

i think its the bodys fluids being compressed and the blood fills it up because thats what happens when you squeeze on a water filled bag...it has to go somewhere

Current gym is communal. No privacy. There's one private stall meant for people with disabilities (there's a seat on the partition wall). There's also a hot tub and steam room that most people use nude.

I'm not a huge fan of private. Biggest problem is that guys jerk off in them and leave their cum (although I'm guilty of doing this too).

That is unacceptable.

At Defined Fitness there are private shower stalls with curtains on the front. The curtains have a transparent window about chest height, probably to discourage doing anything except showering; it seems to work. I do wish that they had hand-held shower heads instead of wall-mounted shower heads.

Hey at least I clean up.

Well, if you clean up, I guess no one has a right to complain.

Probably more guys would clean up if there were hand-held shower heads. That would also help to clean up soap from the walls and shelf. It would also help to direct water to parts of the body that are hard to rinse off with a wall-mounted shower head.
