    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.

    Topless women in thongs everywhereeeeee.

    Might be a cultural thing (I'm German born) but I seriously don't give a toss. In my gym (uk) the older women tend to walk around naked and the younger ones don't. We even got cubicles that you can change in! A thing that you would never find in a German gym! And I don't quite get the point, everyone there is sweaty, most aren't happy with their body, get over it and shower

    Why would anyone be uncomfortable? You dont have anything they cant see in a mirror and vice versa.

    Nothing but boobs in the women's locker room. Not a day goes by where I don't see someone else's knockers. Meh. I always undress in front of my girlfriends. It doesn't bother me. Never had the need to do it at the gym though. I just go home and shower.

    Haha I am actually cool with all of the bare boobs as well.

    We have a family changing room at my old gym, too, and I always wondered how that worked. I never went in, because of the kids, not the men, lol.

    But I noticed in France that they have co-ed bathrooms some places. I mean where there are tons of stalls and everyone just goes in, and a line of sinks to wash up. I was completely cool with that, but there were tourists standing outside talking about how they weren't going to go in :( Poor things.

    I wouldn't expect to see nudity in there, but you kind of never know in Europe, lol!

    I get changed out in the open.

    I could never understand the need to cover up or go into a cubicle when you are changing after a shower or workout. It amazes me to be honest.

    Regardless of what size you are we have the same anatomy and if you think someone is looking at you when you're getting undressed trust me. They aren't. I find those who are a bit more prudish the ones who tend to give the stink eye.

    lol! Dudes locker room equals tramatic experience if your a first time gym goer! Especially if your a young guy:)

    When we first started going to the gym my son told me "there are entirely too many old naked men in there. As in one or more." LOL!

    I've noticed the more in shape the person is the less likely they are the one to be naked. The older and less in shape ones just show it all. Also some cultures seem to be more open. Doesn't bother me though - more power to you to have that confidence. And the locker room is made for changing - so I don't see why people get all up in arms about naked people in there. That's where the naked people are supposed to be. Now if you're naked out on the treadmill I might be more concerned.

    Or a Korean mega spa! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jjimjilbang

    They're becoming a thing in the U.S. now. The one in my area bans absolutely all clothing in the (gender segregated) hot tub/pool areas.

    This thread is hilarious. I could care less who sees me naked...We're streaking...going up to the quad through the gymnasium! (Frank the tank..Old School!) But most gals my age were not required to shower in gym as the previous generation were so they are probably more modest because of that....I got over my modesty quick I played sports constantly through Jr High and H.S. and then came Marine Corps bootcamp..Naked people everywhere trying to get in a water stream to get clean in 10 minutes. And everyone was losing the soap! Then child birth....I don't see the big deal.

    If you can't let it all hang out in the locker room, where can you? Besides, it's only weird if you're staring. I learned to not mind years ago in boot camp, you run 94 dudes thru the showers in two minutes each morning, and trust me, no one is looking, and if they are, they deserve whatever happens to them. Basic rule in the locker room, there's nothing in there you haven't seen, so there's no need to look. Besides, if you're comfortable with your sexuality why do you care if someone catches a glimpse?

    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.

    News flash - no one is looking at you

    I wouldn't go so far as to say that. I think people check other people out in the locker room, not in a sexual way. some people may be comparing themselves (not in a negative way) or just interested in others "progress."

    I always liked the nudity in change rooms because I always left feeling like I look awesome :) Mind you, I've never been shy about being naked in front of friends or my guy.
