i've gone to this gym for about fifteen months and in that time i've noticed progressively more men going into the sauna and steam room with nothing on at all or just briefs. The sauna and steam room are in the locker rooms, so it's not like women or children would be in there, but still...don't you think this is poor etiquette? I've been to numerous gyms and never seen anything like that


lol

That is until a 12 year old girl comes in with her 90 year old great grandmother and sits across you.

Where are you going to focus then?

I was on the beach in Cannes once, minding my own business, reading. to the left of me was German whale, roasting on the beach, blubbery teets drawing lines in the sand as she switched sides.

disgusted, i looked back down, read a few pages. then, shadow casts over my Proust, so I look up.

4 year-old girl running to pick up a recently-tossed ball, bends over just above my head to pick it up and toss it back to her mom, unclothed, the rest needs no description.

it was my own private Seinfeld episode of hilarious misunderstandings, confused and sickened feelings, all precipitated by poor timing.


life is strange, sometimes.

If we weren't such prudes in this country, it wouldn't matter.

As someone else in this thread said, nudity <> sex.

The sexualization of nudity is caused by our prudishness.

If you grow up in a tribe in Africa that walks around nude all the time, I bet seeing some boobs and some vag would not turn you on.

Who gives a shit? Oooh, a scrotum... terrifying! Time to man up and realize that nudity isn't dirty, despite what puritanical interests have tried to paint it as in the US. Seeing another man's penis isn't going to turn you gay, although if you find yourself staring at it, I suppose you'll have some questions you'll need to address...

most saunas require you at least SIT on a towel. Based on threads here I think many of our 'high school jocks' were really the benchwarmers that were always the first out of their locker rooms.

Saunas,Steam Rooms and even Gym showers are like a Petri dish. There is a marked upswing in staph infections like MRSA and Gyms are a prime source.

Do you also complain about naked guys walking around in the locker room? Get over it.

I do- but only the 85 year old guy with the sack that hangs to his knees that insists on walking around the entire perimeter of the locker room with no clothes on.

You gym guys know the type I'm talking about

When I go to the sauna at the gym every day, I bring my sweat towel to sit on grab another to cover the crotch area and use it to wipe my face occasionally.

I'm guessing you just recently started going to saunas? How is this something new?

Really..... I am not alright with a guys sweaty ass and junk sprawled out on a bench that I might set down on in the future.

Nope, not alright with that at all........

Do you sit on the toilet in public restrooms? Same thing.

The cootie fear mongering in this thread is amazing.
