Locker room and urinal etiquette Options

The guy is a prude. He has "issues".

It's my observation that at my gym about half the guys engage in conversation in the shower (we have gang showers) and about half don't and appear to be uncomfortable with it. At the lockers there's lots of naked conversation going on. Now that's the guys who do get naked. About half of the guys walk out after workout without showering. I think it's a generational thing. When I joined my gym a couple of decades ago it was virtually unheard of that a guy would work out and not shower afterwards. It was also a social/cultural thing, not only a matter of hygiene. These days a lot of the younger twenty somethings seem to not like getting naked and having their friends see them naked. Oh God! I got over that in junior high school.

Urinal etiquette is another one that has changed over the years. I can remember when taking a piss was a social event. I was just thinking about this the other day. Guys who I'm chatty with in the office won't even make eye contact in the men's room let alone have a chat while you're both holding your willies.

I blame it all on the feminist movement.

I've always found it difficult to be chatty in the toilet with a dick in each hand whilst administering a bj - it must be great to be a ventriloquist

What I think is really ironic about my gym changing rooms is the few guys that try and get changed under a towel always get stared at, just due to the absurdity of it. It's hilarious to watch.

The guys that just get it all out and put their clothes on normally you don't even tend to notice. People do tend to chat in my gym whilst changing, which is fine.

I don't agree about the urinal thing though! I'm not going to speak to someone whilst I'm peeing. I find that really weird!

I'm sorry but this video has done nothing but annoy me. I am tempted to do a vlog ("What do you call it a v-log? Video blogging?" ... WTF?!?!) about the etiquette of airing your views about something on a video blog.

The guy has more than issues. He's clearly a closet case.

Evidence in point:

1) He goes to a gym which has guys who seem to spend a lot of time hanging out naked. Clearly he likes it or he would change gyms to one where guys don't do this. Unfortunately they don't at my gym!

2) What is the big problem about being naked? If he didn't have reason to think his eyes would be unnessecarily drawn to looking at the other guy's penis, he wouldn't be panicing about it.

3) He knows the size of Frank's cock in both hot and cold temperatures.

4) He is overly concerned about the concept of manscaping.

5) The guy is called "Butch"...I mean COME ON!!!!!


As for the whole urinal thing, I agree it is hardly the best place to be congregating while discussing the finer points of cross-stitching or the offside rule or whatever we are supposed to be discussing, but to be standing so close to a friend and acting in a monk-like silent fashion is completely ridiculous to me. A pee takes like 30 seconds to do, what's the point in stopping all conversation for such a short time?! So you can hear the strength of each other's flow instead?!? To me, the guys who turn themselves into unnecessary contortions in order to avoid anyone else even slightly getting a look at their cock suggests one of two things - that they are so insecure in their own sexuality that they fear someone will actually want to look at their cock or that they have something to hide - like a tiny penis that they are ashamed of and which probably couldn't be seen by someone else even if they were looking for it!

I can understand chatting to friends when at the urinal, but I wouldn't strike up a chat with a random there, or even look at a dick whilst there. Piss coming out of a penis doesn't do anything for me.

I suppose it could be feminism-- a lot of women use the gents' round your way, do they?

As entertaining as your intellectualisations of other people's awkward behaviour/ettiquette towards you is (how is life on Planet Vulcan?). I believe , as often the case with your theories, the answer lies closer to home. Could it be these guys don't want some imperious old lech gapwing at them, when they are having a wazz?

A poem for you Parsy, I've been meaning to share for a while now...

There was an old owl, who lived in an oak
The more he saw, the less he spoke
The less he spoke, the more he heard
Why can't more folk,
Be like that wise old bird?
