Title: Men Showering Together - What's the deal?
Post by: Roger Bacon on August 22, 2012, 01:04:44 PM
My gym has the kind of open communal shower where there's a single thin column in the middle with 8 shower heads aiming off in each direction.  The shower itself is about 20' X 20', fairly small.

People go in there and shower all facing each other talking and they sound like they're having a hell of a good time.  Best friends, brothers, dads and sons.  All showering naked facing each other in close quarters.

I don't get this?  I never shower at the gym.  I think this is fucking bizarre, but maybe I'm just fucked up?


All input welcome here....

No big deal, alot of guys go to school or work after training so a shower is a must. I did have a training partner who I would catch glimpsing my junk on occasion. ;D

I'm 31 now, and I shower in the rec center in the morning after I swim. I don't talk to anyone, and I'm usually the only one there, but occasionally if someone walks by, it doesn't bother me. However, the situation you describe is one step below having a freak gasoline fight while listening to WHAM. Maybe Onemorerep should chime in.

Exactly!!! I change in the locker room and even take a shower when I need to.

These guys creep me out though, I almost think they (not just a few, but dozens) look forward to showering together more than lifting weights.  :-\

Take a large dump in the middle of said shower when its packed and carry on acting as nothings out of the ordinary - report back with your findings

well i can understand some guys reservations about it but i remember as a kid in school in the UK boys showerd together and the girls had seperate cubicals. In the army you crapped, showerd , in some cases ( on my HGV licence fucking a chick together) i remember in a 12 man room one guy always fucked his chick and all you heard was.."Harder..Harder"...pissed us off because we wanted to sleep ;D I would only get botherd in a shower when some guy kept looking at my dick. suppose it depends where you are i mean in a public swimming pool you do not know if the guy next to you is a fag or not.

Yeah, I don't really have a problem with it.  I just think the fact that these guys seem to enjoy it so much is creepy and bizarre.  They walk from the shower to their locker without their towel around them, shit like that.

I'm starting to wonder if I joined a queer gym or something and don't know it? ???

a guy i knew was in the service and didn't want to be in the service. long story short. he was cleaning the latrines when he saw an officer coming he had cleaned the seat of one of the toilets. he quickly put peanut butter on the seat. when the officer came in he started licking the peanut butter off the seat. he got out of the service quick. ;D true story...

This type of behavior is common in some gyms.

My buddy worked at a fitness "club" when we were in college. He hated closing because around that time, there was often a group of gay gentlemen congregated in the sauna engaging in very inappropriate acts. It didn't matter who else was on staff with him; my friend was always elected to break up the party - primarily because he was the "baddest" dude in the gym & the twinkle-toes were intimidated by him.

He never cared that they did it; he hated where they did it - in a public place/business for which he was responsible.

I worked too in a "Health club" but never saw such homo stuff as that! I remember one guy kept coming up to me on the training area and always wanted to touch me. I just stared at the guy and he soon left it. we also had an old guy who always stalked a girl in the gym. Ok she had a great body and showed it but the old guy was really coming on strong at times..i found it funny but of course i had to have a talk with him. The gym owner was a woman and i remember she fucked an ex boyfriend in the sunbed room( ok maybe you US guys donīt need sunbeds ;D) now this was a rather high class gym. most members had money but they were really after cock( the older women). I canīt tell you how often i got "come ons". I look good for my age but am no Mr O but when you have the trainer polo shirt on they just love it. was a dream job  :D. Another club i wanted to work at was very private and exclusive and the owner had the sauna and outside pool like all greek style. He told me "we like disgression" and told me they had an "inside" club for swinger group sex. I never worked there because i started at the other gym but really a lot of people are on the "hunt" in gyms.

I did, that isn't the problem.

The whole issue is the fact that these people don't look at it as a shower, it's a fucking social club where they purposely parade around naked, and babble on like women in a beauty shop.

Similar environment in the locker room at the Golf Club where I workout, on occasion.  Decent people that cover their pecker when possible. Plus they have a club house and wood veneer lockers.  

Makes all the difference.   8)

The best gym I ever was a member of was the big central YMCA in Houston (I cried when it was demolished)...Freeweight area had so much mass it had an event horizon...machines of every description...classical steam and saunas that were not places of assignation...and some of you would not like this...professionally laundered gym clothes provided...no damned rock and roll band outfits...everyone dressed the same.
