I'm not a show-off because I don't have anything to show off. I do trim my pubes which would be very noticeable if someone bothered to look. I am NOT hung by any stretch of the imagination. I'm pretty fit so I don't mind having others see me. Other men are changing clothes as well so most in there become naked at some point. I've showered, come out with a towel, and then proceeded to get dressed. Hell, the local recreation center I use has individual shower stalls and then a locker area for changing. It was a little intimidating at first as a high school freshman but you didn't want to return to class smelling of body odor just in case the girl you were interested in got close to you. Stripping and “Skinny dipping” with your buds on a hot summers day in the nearby quarry or stream is just what everyone did.Ĭlick to expand.Bingo! I also was born in the 1950s and seem to remember high school shower rooms where there were stations with 4-5 shower heads coming out of them so that 4-5 guys could gather around a single station and wash off. I’m not sure when the “snowflake” phenomenon occurred, but young men today are really messed up because of the whole “Hiding yourself while naked” thing. I was an ace at snapping towels and left quite a number of bright red triangles on many an unsuspecting butt. Towels handed out by an attendant.ĭid I “Enjoy” it? it was what men did. Showers after sports were large (20X20) tiled affairs, with rows of shower heads on each wall, no dividers. In high school, our sports locker rooms, were again, wide open.
Locker rooms had no dividers, along with bathrooms and showers. I have been to all men athletic clubs in the 60’s and 70’s where the swimming pools were naked. Having been born in the 50’s, I chuckle at how younger men are not exposed to the experience of being around basically nude men doing normal things.
