So. About male nakedness in the locker room.

I just heard two men at my gym complaining about a couple of guys in their locker room who apparently were standing around having a complete conversation while starkers. The men were completely disgusted. I guess that answers that question. Heh. 

Re: So. About male nakedness in the locker room.

  • We have gym access at work (on a military base).  Several of my male coworkers tell the best stories about the older men walking around completely naked post shower.  The best one that comes to mind is when a naked old man propped his leg up on the bench to clip his toenails, genitalia danging everywhere.  My coworker was sitting on the same bench, tying his shoes and lifted his head at the wrong time.  He's still scarred!

  • My H told me a story about a guy at our gym that is naked at. all. times. One day, he had his leg propped up on the bench, picked up a deodorant stick, bent over, and went to town. Indifferent

    No sweaty balls for THAT guy.

  • Haha, yeah my (male) coworker goes to the gym at lunch and says all men are naked.  In fact, most men's locker rooms have a big group shower.  He said the individual shower stalls have really narrow curtains-- as in, it covers maybe half of the shower door.  WTF?

    You always crack me up. You should write down your musings throughout the week, then post them.

  • DH says that the older guys in his locker room stand around shooting the breeze with it all hanging out.  I just don't get it.  He says it's mostly older men who do it and not so much the younger ones.  Maybe it's partly a generational thing.  Just glad I don't have to see it.

    Yeah, in the case of my OP, the guys specifically said that the naked men were older.  And now I'm wondering if this is a generational thing.

    Also, propping a leg up on a bench makes me think of the scene from Crazy Stupid Love.

    ETA: I should clarify that I don't have a problem with nakedness in the locker room, as I think I've made clear in other posts on this topic.  I just thought it was funny to overhear this particular conversation since some have conjectured in other threads about whether the same thing goes on in the mens' locker rooms.

  • I work at a gym and one day and older guy totally forgot to *put on his bathing suit* and walked right out to the pool area nude.

  • They blowdry their balls! (I saw this once- still in therapy).

     I have also have had to have a talk about shaving in the steam/sauna/hottub (in Kollege I worked at a gym - I can never unsee/unknow the things I saw/was aware of there).

  • I guess when you're that age you don't worry about modesty anymore!
