the locker room

I am amazed at how many women are so free with their nakedness in the locker room--women of all sizes and shapes. I tend to go into the bathroom to change or hide in a corner. It is inspiring in a way, but I am so far from every being that comfortable.

Without girl locker room scenes more than half of the movies from 1980's wouldn't have been as awesome as they were.0

Amen! Nothing like walking up to the sink to wash your hands and finding a 70+ yr old guy standing there, NUDE, whilst he shaves. Closed-mouth vomit!0 -
It might be generational - I have noticed that the younger generation at my gym tend to be a lot more shy about that kind of thing - there are a lot of guys who shut themselves in a cubicle to get dressed.
I played team sports for 35 years so am very used to being naked in a locker room with other people, and communal showers etc (and many times I've even got dressed in a car park next to the stadium or in the dugout after a game LOL) so being nekkid in the locker room doesn't worry me at all. That said, I do get dressed as quickly as possible after I towel myself dry, so it's not a performance or exhibitionist event.0 -
I don't think I'm overly modest, but I do wear a towel to/from the shower, etc. I don't cower in the corner and dress or anything but I do try to cover myself, at least a little.
I'm happy for the nekkid women in my gym. Good for them for being that comfortable! But, even when I was at my goal weight and felt amazing about my body, I just can't walk around like that.0 -

Lol it's always the older dudes....0 -
True story, I had a 70+ year old decide he needed to tell me his life story while standing naked with one leg propped up on the bench. I've seen him at the gym many times and he's always naked in the locker room. I doubt he even works out.

Yep.
Annnnd old pervs are their own thing.0 -
I don't even want to get naked in front of my husband let alone a room full of random women! If I'm being very brazen I will weight myself in shorts and a sports bra in the locker room. Other than that, if I have to change in the locker room, I cover myself up as much as possible as I go and face the corner lol.
My husband tells me very amusing locker room stories about the mens locker room - including an extremely obese guy sitting down naked in the corner with everything exposed. He was OK - not like he needed medical attention. he was just chilling out....0 -

buwahahahahahaaha he just comes for the nudist opportunities! Tragically awesome!
I've seen more than my fair share of old man *kitten* and junk. Moments of nudity are acceptable.... let's not make it a lifestyle. LOL0 -
The jacuzzi at my old gym was like a regular Roman spa, lol. Except with Asian women of all sizes and ages. When I was in a hurry and didn't feel like having to take the time spin-dry my bathing suit just to have 5 minutes in the whirlpool, I did the same! I never did get used to it for myself, though.
The whole locker room had a lot of nudity, but sitting down across from strangers and talking while they are nude was new to me. Most of the jacuzzi women did wear suits, but nobody seemed to care about the nude people, lol. The steam room was also pretty darned nude. I think a lot of those women never swam, so maybe they didn't ever bring suits. Meh, fine by me

Pics or it didn't happen?0

My wife used to go to the same gym as me. After her first time in the women's locker room:I am amazed at how many women are so free with their nakedness in the locker room--women of all sizes and shapes. I tend to go into the bathroom to change or hide in a corner. It is inspiring in a way, but I am so far from every being that comfortable.
"OMG, everybody's doing everything naked, and they're all shaved!"0 -
ROFL!
Not much shaving going on in my town, apparently. At least not with those comfortable with the Roman baths idea of locker rooms. More than half of the locker room ladies were towel folks, though, so there is a little mystery left on that subject!0 -
Meh. When I go into locker rooms, I am there to get changed so don't care.
But I don't hang about or appreciate it when anyone tries to strike up a conversation - let me put some pants on first!!0 -
I ran into my art professor at the gym locker room once and she was talking to me while changing, stood there for a minute or so totally topless. I was like, well, this is awkward, but she was totally cool with it.0
-
Yeah, sometimes I wonder if I'm a total prude (and if I'm the only one who shaves)!
I have to admit though, when I first started showering at the gym (many moons ago), it made me feel much better about my own body.
I still cover up as much as possible though..0 -
I really wish some of the women weren't so open. I do not want to see bending over, squatting, masses of pubic hair, etc. it is impossible to "unsee" that stuff!0

:laugh: weren't so "open"…bending over, squatting… OMG I can't stop laughing. The image in my head ..get out!0 -
I love being naked. If I see that most people have a towel on, though, I put one on so I don't make anyone uncomfortable. If other people are naked I just assume they don't mind 0

What I've noticed at my gym is that a lot of the women who undress (completely) in the common area are mostly on the larger side. Hey, that's fine with me. I'm not trying to look; BUT it's hard not to look at a naked person no matter gender or size.
I take my shirt off to weigh myself, b/c every last bit of sweat counts...but I don't take my pants/underwear off until I am in the shower stall.
Apparently also at my gym, the Men's locker room does not have any attached changing stall with the shower stalls. That would not fly in the Women's locker room.0 -
I'm nekkid nekkid nekkid in there... Shave naked, weigh myself naked... NAKED!0
-
lol! Dudes locker room equals tramatic experience if your a first time gym goer! Especially if your a young guy:)0
-
I'm still very self conscience of my body. I change in the bathroom stalls.
Heck, i don't even like changing or being nekkid w/ all the lights on with my fiance! :-/0 -
I played rugby for years which means shared showers or baths at most clubs. I've never had a problem being naked in a room that is provided for people to get naked in. If anyone wants to perv at me while I'm doing it, fill your boots....
Unless you've got something to be ashamed of, I don't see it as a big deal.0 -

I think it is a confidence thing. Last week I stood in the main area of the family changing room at my gym and talked to a male staff member as I changed into the top of my swimsuit. I didn't think a thing of it since all the important bits stayed covered. I've also wrapped a towel around my waist and changed bottoms in front of men.0 -
Wow, what a lot of prudes on here!
Word of advice - don't ever go on a Spanish beach if nudity offends or worries you. It's so common it quickly becomes very ordinary.0 -

^ This. Years of playing football (or soccer, whatever tickles your fancy) have made it natural to get naked in front of people (women at least). I go in mixed saunas on the regular. As long as I don't meet my boss there I don't currrr.0
