Being weird about nakedness is mostly an American thing, not very grown up attitudes really

I was at first but in high school gym class we all wore nylon adidas shorts and pants and I would get so turned on in the locker room but I always took my time to watch everyone change so I could see there cocks rub on there pants and shorts but the one day won’t say his name but sorta a friend took his time also and he seen me looking and he purposely showed his cock and slowly pulled his pants down and it rubbed them flipped out he waited for everyone to leave and he slid his shorts on and did the same thing his cock flipped up into his shorts and it was so hot before we both walked out he walked over and grabbed my shorts and felt my cock as it was hard later we went to his place and he pulled his adidas pants down some letting his com flop out and let me suck it till we fucked after that I wasn’t as shy even more so with him

I thinks it the way guys are raised and told it wrong or shameful to look or even be seen naked. People judge each other to much. I remember when n high School locker room everyone had briefs. Today you have have cool underwear on now. Plus father's don't take their sons to locker rooms I guess. I remember having to change for gym class and then showers in 7 grade. I thought it was crazy because I never let family see me naked and now I was supposed to be naked with class mates

i quit football cause of it not want no one see me naked

I never was, I always got a thrill being naked in front of friends growing up.

Good question. I don't know.

When I was little, like 7 or 8 I was terrified of anyone seeing me naked. I don't know why. My mother pointed out one day that she had seen me naked for a long time, but I was shy about it.

Then about the fifth grade, say 10 years old, my cock got a lot bigger than my classmates. Anything different with kids gets ridiculed. And they laughed and pointed at my cock. It is safe to say that almost no one knew what a cock was really for or why they got big, but I was humiliated for it.

All through high school, my cock was bigger than theirs. But we all had to shower together. And I got over the shyness. By collage, i liked to parade around naked, cock half hard swinging out in front if me.

I started looking for opportunities to get naked. As I went to the gym I would find a locker as far from the shower as I could and then walk to the communal showers and enjoy soaping and cleaning my cock. Nothing like hot water and soap to give a guy a hard on. Then slowly walk back to my locker. Towel over my shoulder.

It was an interesting journey from shy to flagrant.

I don't know what changed...but i was never terrified or embarrassed

I’m not too bad about it, kinda like the exhibition of it, but I do it out of consideration. Most folk don’t like seeing dicks.
Just sucks when I go into locker rooms; can’t shower with my glasses on to admire all the dicks irl.

Younger guys never get to experience the freedom of just being naked and how to relax when naked. If your never naked at home or with friends. You never will be in locker room. I wish someone told me when I was younger you can be naked and relaxed and it not always about sex or judging body parts

Fear of being judged by size and development.

I grew up using the gang style showers, hang your towel outside and walk into a room with 8 or more shower heads. There was no time to be shy back then. These days gyms have cubicles and people wrap towels around themselves to change.

With the prevalance of porn, I think many young people are insecure about their bodies since they don't measure up.

Starting in the 6th grade showers after PE class were mandatory and we all got over our shyness very quickly. Today most school dont require boys to shower after class

If there was a group-shower room for school athletics, like back in my day, boys would get over their shyness in an instant (unless their penis was unusually small or large, or they always popped an erection in the showers).

I am from that side who hides and doesnt show my dick in a public showers.I think I did that, because I tought everyone would think I am a fag if I show my dick for everyone there.Also I enjoy watching at other men naked in there.

That's one of the mysteries of life and it seems like a paradox.

These days with pornography so mainstream it seems like a rite of passage for young men to post nude photos of themselves someplace on the internet. Many kick it up a notch and post a full motion jack off video. It's as if they are saying: "Here I am, I'm a man now, see how potent I am."

For young gay men the rite of passage bar is even higher in that they do a full on hard core man-on-man sex scene. It's as if they are saying: "I'm a real gay man now. I'll suck and be sucked, rim and be rimmed, fuck and be fucked for the world to see."

With these things in mind one has to wonder why so many are shy in a lockerroom.

There was a womans-liberation but no male-liberation. Males are shy because they are shown stupid like a 3 years old boy in advertising on TV. No man wants to get laughed about him. We do not have a male culture anymore. Many guys grow up without father in a female dominated surrounding and that cause a bad feeling of being male. In lockerrooms of gyms there is nothing but competition. Crazy world...

I actually feel wrong about showing my 'goods' in certain situations. Although I m not 'shy'. It just seems a bit rude when every other guy seems to be trying to avoid showing off. I feel some guys would want to call me an exabitionist. Or a flasher. It s a good point to 'discuss'. Because at the end of the day I don t like to feel as though I m trying to hide 'something' . I think it should be custom to behones in a semse. Reveal what you have and be proud to let them look if they want to.

It seems the trend is worldwide, not only here in the UK. But I have noticed that in a sports club I belong to where a lot of the 35 year old and upwards guys have no problem with nudity, some of the younger guys see this and then gradually join in, as if sensing that it's the manly thing to do.

This is because of major changes in society in general when it comes to sexuality and 'gender'. The idea of 'maleness' has had a succession on knocks in recent years and young men are much more circumspect about feeling and expressing their gender than their older predecessors.......

Gender bashing, Weinstein, the LGBT thing, media, gay rights, womens movements have all played their part in this and it's not surprising that many young men are shy and even nervous about their masculinity.

.........Only last week there was an item on the BBC Website about a plan to teach boys that they "have periods" just like girls!

I am not a locker room type of guy but as secindary school and college the showers were communal so everything was on display. How strange that today when in theory we are so much more open about sex - than in the early 60s - that young men should be so modest.
Could it be that they have seen some of the - paricularly Us Porn where every guy has a ridiculously large dick that they feel inadequate? That would be so sad.
Sites like this should be recommended viewing for young guys so that they can see the whole spectrum of dick size and shape.

I remember in H.S. days we had to "shower and change" after gym,the coaches sat in their office that had huge glass windows for easy viewing of us. I'd strip and hang my cock out like most other guys. Then go to the open stall showers were all the cocks were hanging and free to view. I remeber couple of guys had really huge cocks probably 15 inches long, they would lather up their huge cocks and get raging hard ons and start wanking and joking until they would shoot their cum all over who ever was nearby. A couple of other guys had small penises and a lot of guys would berate them to tears, Adolescents can be so fucking cruel, such memories!!

Now that I am into cock I'm thinking about joining a fitness center partly to see cock in the locker room.

When i was at school where i live (Belgium) there were cubicle showers so we showered individiual and walking to and from the showers almost no one was totally naked. The changing room was cummunial but most did the toweldance there.

I did hear a straight guy say, that with so many gay guys everywhere he doesn't want to be naked in public showers, so i don't think it's always about beeing shy, some are afraid others might look at them in a sexual way.

I worked in a steel works where there were 300 in the showers at change of shift , no chance to be shy . A great experience

I go to a gym and the older men tend to not be as shy. Our showers are separate, but I’m taking the short walk there naked. I’m sweaty - don’t want that all on my towel.

I agree see a couple younger guys in lockers who wear shorts in showers , then do a rather strange maneuver when they dry off and get into boxers .Shame really as it looks like they may be sizeable packages . My bf and I have always been comfortable naked in lockers / showers right from first school years .

At the gym I go to there are a couple of young guys who shower in their shorts...don't even take them off ! I like walking around with my cock flopping about !
