Old men in gym changing rooms.

Well I can’t remember whether I’m British/English whateversacceptable these days 🙂

@fasthaggis you’ve got a point though – snapchatting your bits to someone isn’t exactly unheard of these days.

Considering the general response in this thread, I find it amazing how much hand wringing occurs when some female flesh is shown.

This thread is very telling.

The Yays: Tripods
The Nays: Weeners

Don’t see what all the fuss is about personally 🙂

Never heard it called that before…

Worked with a lady who was a canteen assistant at the local leisure centre, they asked if she would do some overtine for a naturists group, she mis understood naturist naked people for Naturalist,bird and animal watcher .

She turned up for work working at the till expecting Bill Oddie bird watcher types, first bloke was a well endowed totally naked middle aged man, who she latter recognized as her neighbour.She said she got a shock when he put his tray down on the serving shelf,exposing himself a bit more than she expected.

Growing up and still being a competitive swimmer I can confirm there are certainly a group of old, usually portly men who enjoy spending a lot of time naked in front of everyone in changing rooms. They also seem to do their very best to engage you in talk about football or some other such shite whilst flossing their balls or spending too much time drying their nether regions.

Funnily enough after training we can all chat whilst getting changed without the need put one leg on the bench and have a five minute conversation whilst everything air dries. It’s weird. Stop it.

Only the brits would confuse nudity with sex, I’m sure no one else in the changing room is concerned with thoughts of having sex with the contents, old men with dangly balls or not.

A sign of insecurity if ever there was and ageism at it’s worse, how do y’all feel about black blokes in changing rooms then? How about old women in Saunas?

Ridiculous.

Yes I’m old (ish) and yes I hang out naked in changing rooms and sex is the last thing on my mind and no, I’m not looking at your teeny weeny pecker.

So, logic dictates anyone who does feel uncomfortable about older males naked must fancy younger ones, nothing wrong with that, but typical of the genre, not wanting ‘ugly’ in their world.

yes I hang out naked in changing rooms

There are clubs for that sort of thing I think.

Post gym workout (which doesn’t happen enough these days), I’m usually pumping out so much heat and sweat that it takes a long long time to dry off enough to get clothed…so if I’m not in a hurry, I’ll happily wander around naked in the changing rooms (though I don’t usually engage in conversations!)

My take on it is that it seems to be old men because us old men invariably played old fashioned team sports at school, bathed in communal showerooms and certainly I was more than used to all sorts of females copping a glance on their way through to the bar at the rugby club. I’ve never worried about who thinks what about my body and although I try not to expose myself in public if it ever happened i.e. Towel of shame dropping off in the car park whilst post ride changing.
The majority of younger men never had to shower after games at school or mum and dad would pick them up drop them off ready clothed at the pitch side. They have therefore become self conscious of their own nudity and insecure about their bodies round both males and females.
That’s my theory on it. ❓

and no, I’m not looking at your teeny weeny pecker

You were thinking about me when you wrote that, weren’t you…

If it’s a problem to you and you are rich go to a fancy gym that has cubicles. And if you are poor don’t look at the old chap’s old chap if they speak to you. Easy

When you’re an old bloke reaching down to put your pants on takes a bit of effort, you need a bit of a relax before you attempt it.

😆 No but that’s the crux of what the thread’s about, all those young mamby pamby mummies boys used only to onaning into the mirror, suddenly confronted with proper size willies and big billie old balls…

They hurriedly don their calvins and scurry off..

So to summarise, the guys who hang around changing rooms in the nude for no reason are old school, uber manly, old school, team sport mens manly men who are hung like horses and don’t give a f*** what anyone thinks of their giant dick. They’re still in great shape, that’s what a man looks like. Yeah.

Conversely the people who take issue with this are ageist, insecure, closet homosexuals who confuse nudity and sexuality, are sexually repressed introverts who are hung like chipmunks and who can’t help gawking at some old guys junk. They’re probably uncultured and so poor that they didn’t travel extensively as a child.

The irony here of course is that the former are so brazen and proud, that the later are painfully aware they are endowed with something resembling a primordial dwarf’s wee finger clutching a pair of eggs in a freezer bag.

Blimey.

Some of you think way too hard (pun maybe? You decide…) about this sh1t.

Get out on your bikes more!

I’m with Suggsy’s theory. Back in the 70s it was perfectly acceptable to undress and shower after sports. Didn’t bother me then, doesn’t bother me now. I coach an u17s rugby team, have done since they were U11. Even now there’s only one or two who take their boxers off to shower post match, most of them shower in compression shorts and then do the towel of shame thing. Make oi larrrfff.

Just to put another angle on it….

Working away, I sometimes share a room with another bloke to save costs.

It’s never an issue getting changed and briefly being in the buff – however, if we both stood there chatting with a leg raised on a chair, airing our meat and veg, or spent a period of time sat on opposite beds, legs apart and the old John Thomas’s privvy to the after work banter, then it would be bloody weird – and don’t tell me it wouldn’t!

😆

, most of them shower in compression shorts and then do the towel of shame thing.

I worked it out – we’re actually having another 1950s – ie Massive nationwide across the board obsessions with celebrity, electric gadget worship, technology will make the future awesome, keeping up with the jones’s, fake eyelashes and tan, tightly-wound über-confined norms, rampant stereotyping/suspicion of everyone outside the ‘norm’, sickly superficiality, prissy and prim as **** and hung up about anything ‘perverted’ such as the naked human body unless it’s porn/fashion or advertising. Just thank our lucky stars we aren’t routinely sending homosexuals, lefties, or ‘her indoors’ for ECT/discreet lobotomies.

See, that’s what’s wrong with British society. Conflating nudity with sexuality. The Swedes and Finns have it sorted!!
Kids grow up seeing other peoples bodies with all their incumbent normalities as just that. Normal.

[ukip] Normal?????? You mean FOREIGN ie perverted, wrong and most probably suspicious. I bet their old men get naked too. Must be some kind of tribal thing. They want to look at each other nude. Weird. The Islamics will sort them out. [/ukip]

That’s pretty much it, then again it’s also disturbing to read that under 17’s rugby kids have to shower in their boxers, no wonder they have a problem later on.

So, no group naked bathing and singing bawdy rugby songs then these days I bet.

Sad old world it’s becoming, is there cotton wool to wrap em up with after their shower?
