Naked in the locker room
I'm always comfortable nude in the gym lockerroom. Usually I'm the only naked guy, which is fine with me. But today there were a couple other naked guys taking their time at the shower, at the sink, shooting the breeze. I was talking with one guy I know who was pretty much dressed to leave while I was stripping to head to the shower. We didn't miss a beat in our conversation except for his brief stutter when I pulled off my shorts and jock and stood there starkers while talking about staffing at the gym. It sort of changed my frame of mind from casual nudity to casual exhibitionism. The fact that other guys were comfortably naked added to it. So when I noticed that the hair conditioner featured "rich and penetrating" I started to think about how nice it would be to be penetrating somebody, or to have some guy penetrating my mouth or my ass. Then I squeezed the white creamy stuff onto my hand, and realized, "man, I need to go take care of this chubbing dick when I get home". Funny how some unrelated thing can trigger horniness.
It's the only way to be in there. I just need to be nude and share with others who appreciate it. Sure it's arousing and I don't let it go away from me but don't repress it either. Enjoying the erotic elements and being able to be respectful of others and totally exposed is incredible. It always makes others feel better and more relaxed.
My gym gets lots less use in summer when the weather is nice. A couple of times this year on days off from work I was able to go for a workout during the daytime instead of my usual after-office-hours time frame, and as expected, there were more retired folks doing their workouts. Guys in the locker rooms were more in my age range, and I was happy to see 2 or more each time who were walking naked between the lockers and the shower area. That's a very rare thing in the busier times. The management now wants you to use the steam room with at least a towel on, and signs are posted saying we're supposed to wear a swimsuit in the hot tub (I know, it's ridiculous, and I hate it). On the days I was there no one bucked the trend in the steam room, including me. But if it's not busy I just wear a towel going into the whirlpool tub and open it when I sit down, and no one's called me on it. But I look forward to retiring soon so I'll be there in the daytime a lot more often, and I will certainly be one of they guys who carries his towel more than bothering to wear it.
My gym has the steam room, sauna, and Whirlpool all in the men's locker room. They are all clothing optional.
Personally, I strip naked at my locker after my workout and I stay naked the whole time I'm in the locker room. I find it comical how many guys will cover up or not undress at all. I think it must be a Midwest thing because that was not the case when I lived out west.
I do think the older guy s tend to be more comfortable being nude and generally don't bother with towels or swimsuits.
