VIP (Very Important Poll): am I a prude?
So I'm a member of the gym at my work. I usually go after work, and I change into my gym clothes there and then wear them home (I don't shower there or anything). Generally, I am pretty discreet - e.g., I take off my shirt and then put my sports bra on top of my regular bra, which I then pull off . . . you know the drill. I am, at no point, naked.
But! Many people are. Just wandering around, nude. And recently, one of my closer coworkers started at the gym and works out at the same time as me. She apparently is not so shy, and is chatting with me while her bra is off aaaiiiiiiiieeeeeeee it's so awkward.
Am I crazy for being bothered by this?

Re: VIP (Very Important Poll): am I a prude?
I have lost any and all modesty after 2 kids (I picked the 1st choice)
This, sort of. Not totally nude all the time, but not super modest. If I knew that a friend or a coworker would be there, that totally changes everything. Not in a million years would I ever stand there in the buck talking to someone, even a stranger!
I'm in this category. I change very quickly, and I'm discreet, but I don't put my sports bra on top of my regular bra or anything like that. I'm topless for maybe 2 seconds.
Ditto. You need another category between hide it all and flaunt it all.
I actually picked the first one but this is probably more accurate.
My modesty is a result of my wishing to cover up the flab. Back when I had a body worthy of some public nudity, well, I still didn't stand around chatting with my lady bits flapping in the breeze, but I took of top and bra, then added sports bra and tank. Took off bottoms down to the g string and then layered back up.
Agreed. At the bikram yoga studio I went to, people where all the time just lounging and chatting in the buff. It was totally foreign to me. In every other locker room I've ever used the amount of nudity was kept to a minimum.
I agree with these. I don't actually belong to a gym now, but have belonged to several in the past and I fit somewhere in the middle. I wouldn't put one bra on over the other, but change quickly and discreetly. It used to drive me crazy when people would hang out naked while blow-drying their hair and stuff. I mean, what's the point?!?

this is really more where I fall in, I certainly don't try to be naked but if I happen to be, I don't care
