Locker Room Awkwardness

I have no idea at all why this is even an issue if your that afraid of public interaction like that then you should never leave your home..it is such a waste of ones energy to even care who sees you naked or who you see naked..

I enjoy making people feel awkward in the locker room. You can spot the awkward feeling people a mile away. They over cover themselves, always avoid eye contact. I like to throw my towel over my shoulder instead of wrap it. This way my penis is exposed completely.

Then I like to plant myself in their way, and pretend I am doing something and don't notice them trying to figure out how to get by me.

I also like to stand there in all my nakedness and start an in-depth conversation with them about deep things which you can't end easily. I always ask open ended questions so they can't just give a yes or no and dash away. It's fun to watch them squirm.

I will stand there with one leg on the bench, and let my dangle angle in their direction as i get things out of my locker and they are trapped in the cubby there needing me to move to get out.

I can't wait until I am an old man, and my *kitten* hangs to my knees! That will make for added pleasure.

Yes, these are your options: be cool with everyone seeing you naked, or else stay home FOREVER! Totes makes sense.

lol I don't like the options, either.

THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND!! My new motto: "Go naked or go home!" How dare people have basic modesty after a lifetime of being taught to be ashamed of their bodies!

For me it was awkward because I just don't want to see other women's parts, and when I joined my gym and started using the locker room it was culture shock for me. I still don't want to see other women's parts, even if they are in shape. I do undress now at my locker instead of making a b-line to a stall because I just don't have time for that all the time. It still gets awkward when I remember that even though we're all women in the locker room, not all of us are heterosexual. So I could be entertaining eyes that I don't want to entertain.

I find it laughable that you assume that all gay women are aroused by you and your body, or that they're in the gym locker room for the eye-feast, rather than because they just worked out and need to shower before work. Believe me, your "parts" are safe.

Well you haven't seen her naked yet so how can you comment? do you wear really dark sunglasses in the group shower?

Because:
(A) I'm an adult and can easily distinguish between situations in which looking at someone naked and getting aroused is appropriate, and situations in which people are just minding their own business and I should too.
(B) Being gay doesn't make you want to have sex with all women, all the time. Regardless of their state of undress.
(C) I have a wife at home and I'd rather look at her than all y'all. That's one of the reasons we got married.

No-one is looking at you naked. No-one cares.

not true..i care

Take a cadaver class or work in a nursing home once youve seen one naked body youve seen them all

excellant point!! that is true!

I didn't know that weight was supposed to make me uncomfortable with nudity. I'm nude whenever I'm home alone. I frequently wear just a T-shirt and undies when my roommates or *close* friends are around. At one store I, saw a shirt that only came in XL-4XL sizes that said "I have the body of a goddess". I lived in a house where my mother and sister both ran around in their underwear, or less.
When I am around other women in a state of undress, I remember that we're all a little awkward around people that we don't know. What you have to do is differentiate between "nudity" and "nakedness". "Nudity" is merely the state of having no clothes on. "Nakedness" is vulnerability. Make the decision to be "nude" instead of "naked" when you're in the locker room. If you need to practice, try being nude at home. Walk from the shower to your bedroom with no clothes on. Have a short conversation with your Significant Other without acknowledging that you don't have clothes on. In time, you will find that you become more comfortable in your own skin. And the people who see you and have a problem with it, well.... That's *their* problem!
I hope this helps?

After going to a Hamam in Turkey and then frequenting Korean spas locally. I also workout at a university gym, and I find most of the girls are very shy and get changed in private. I change quickly and publicly facing my locker. If you're looking, you're gonna see a boob or maybe even 2. I think Americans are very hung up on nudity. I guess it's that whole Puritanical influence.

I bet its awkward for you to go a lot of places.... Since we are EVERYWHERE...

I mean I don't know about anyone else but I only go to the YMCA for their open locker rooms.

I would like to be like that but i dont know if i could. I was raised so strict about that. Even me and my sisters never change in front of each other. Unless its a dire circumstance lol and then we all face away like we're the three musketeers or something.

I wouldn't ever be comfortable undressing in the locker room. The gym I go to my boyfriend works at so I personally know quite a few of the people there.. and yeah, it's just kind of weird.
Either way though, I don't run off into the bathroom or something. I arrive and leave in my gym clothes. I'll lift my shirt to put on my HRM but that's about it.

Some people just have more body confidence than others. Lots of confident women at my local Y for sure

I loathe being naked with strangers. I don't mind a daytime skinny dipping adventure with my best friends on vacation, but with people I'm not very close to? NOPE.
