Please wear underwear.....
I really don't care much what people wear to the gym. I see jeans shorts, pjs, and people hiding under hoodies, if they're comfortable that's great. However there is a guy at the gym that wears baggie thin work out shorts and you can see everything cause he doesn't wear underwear. I try not to look but when I'm on a machine and he's right in front of me I kinda have no choice.

Really? How does that qualify for abuse @Cutaway_Collar ?
Wouldn't that make her look like the weirdo going to the mgr... "Excuse me. That man is sexually harrassing me because I can clearly see, when I stare at his crotch, that hes not wearing underware. " How would that complaint be taken? I don't know. I could be wrong.8 -
Yeah, I'm thinking about doing that.0

Once at work. A customer came in for a rental being unaware his pants were not zipped up. Then I called our equipment checkout tech into the office, to help the customer with the checkout, and said coworkers pants were also unzipped. I had two smart hardworking dudes in my office, both unaware their pants were unzipped. I was always a bold upfront person at work. But something about that day I guess. I just didn't feel like saying, "Excuse me. Pants shall always be zipped up in my office. No matter who you are. Now both of you zip up, or get out."1

My mom always told me to "keep it zipped"3

I think an unintended zipper being down is a little different than someone free-balling at the gym; you don't forget that you aren't wearing underwear.5 -

Report him. Cutaway is right. Speak to a manager who has HR training and understands the delicacy/severity of the situation. At best the guy is clueless and needs to know; at worst he wants strangers to see his business -- textbook sexual harassment/abuse.2 -

He might be exposing his junk in front of other men, women and even minors - children under 18. I don't think this should even be up for debate
exactly! she's most likely not the only one that he's flashing his junk too.
thin baggy gym shorts... he knows if his junk is showing. There is probably mirrors all around the gym like most gyms.

Maybe he was just saying "Hi !" ?1

Indecent exposure is indecent exposure no matter the genitalia one has. Not only that but minors probably visit the gym as well and even if that's not the case that stuff should still be reported.4

Yeah when dude shows it they get this kind of response hey crack kills pull your pants up but you wont hear that if a girl was doing the mooning
99 % You are not in Live Audio without having Butt-Crack syndrome. Or your not really in Live Audio. Just look away. Its not intensional. Its almost a requirement. If you can't handle butt-crack. Get out of the business. When I had lost my 36 lbs, and needed a belt, they brought me some rope from the shop. Pants falling down syndrome. Not intensional. Soon after that, belt inventory was done.1 -

I think calling it sexual harassment/abuse demeans real sexual harassment and abuse. It is, however, inappropriate and likely borderline if not outright considered indecent exposure. It is possible the person may not even realize how exposed he is. Either way, I think speaking to gym staff would be an appropriate way to deal with it since as a gym user the OP is not responsible to enforce things like this. Assuming he knows what is showing forgets how clueless people can be. Could it be intentional? Sure it could, but assuming it is is a dangerous road to go down, one which so many people do go down today always assuming the worst of people. Assume the best, report to the staff, and let them handle it. If the same user does it again after that find out if the staff warned him and if they didn't it is likely time to find a new gym. If they did, time to complain again because then the intent is obvious since he continues to do what he was warned about so if he was unaware before, he is aware now.2 -

I don't know, man. There was this gym teacher in high school whose junk was always just barely visible hanging out the edge of his short shorts. It creeped me and the other girls out so badly. I always thought he probably wanted us to feel that way. And that IS abuse. As an adult I would have called him out on it, but as a shy teen I just tried to look away instead. I think that's what pervs are counting on - that people will just let them slide. I think they like making people feel uncomfortable. Maybe this dude at OP's gym is just an innocent dope, unaware of his inappropriateness, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he was just another version of that creepy old gym teacher...6 -

I've gotten one of those from a lesbian. Even when I told her I wasn't also a lesbian.
Lol. That happened to me once too. She sent me pics of her boobs like that was going to do anything for me. I sent her a pic of mine back and told her I had a better rack than her. Awkward for all involved.
Some call that awkward.
I call it a win - win.1 -

I'm with @HyeKarma on this.. I mean the guy isn't the problem here.. It's you who keep staring at him and he's wearing clothes although they're not the clothes you want him to wear..
I'm so glad I'm European0 -
I always wear underwear to the gym, especial if my wearing shorts, I just hate it when it flops out he bottom of my shorts, and I have to constantly put it up and way. Its annoying on the treadmill, when the head gets smashed between your knees as your running.. Real world problems, with a large member... lol0

Is it indecent exposure if it's accidental?
Legally, it probably is.
Someone of the same gender should make him aware of the issue, right?0 -

I never got pics from fellow lesbians but straight girls do, what a life.
I'm kidding, I don't like random pics, but seriously, str8 girls are so popular sometimes!!2 -
I was sexually harassed by yoga pants yesterday. I'm totally traumatized now. Maybe there's a safe space gym I can go to. Lmao.
Maybe the guy was old and didn't think about it. Maybe he had some 1970 shorts on and he thought he looked silly with his boxers hanging out the bottom.
Maybe he was a perv, but why did you give him the satisfaction and keep staring and judging?0 -

The last thing I'm doing is staring at his crotch.1
