I never trusted a guy that wore a towel or just refused to shower until he got home. I always felt guys like that had something to hide and didn't really want to be part of the team.

At my high school we have a problem with "shit". Yes i mean "shit" like out of your butt. I swear on my soul that all of this is true.
One day we were all enjoying a nice shower after a hot texas workout. Our team captain says "i am gonna f*** with all your heads right now". We were all confused as to what he mean until he proceded to grab his penis and pee in his own mouth. That is only the start. The whole team of course started screaming in disgust while we couldnt help but watch. Directly afterwards i look over at the guy and his hand is behind his back. As i wondered what he was doing i saw him pull his arm back and launch human waste(shit) at one of the freshman. Not only did hit the freshman it hit the wall on both sides as well as another freshman. We all started freaking out and yelling while running out of this chaos, just as i cross the doorway to the exit of the shower i was hit in the back with a terd. I was in such disgust that i puked all in the showers almost causing a mass puking hysteria. This is just one of the gross disturbing events that has gone on, and still does, at my high school in texas.
I have more but i dont think you guys are ready for it. But please try and top my story which i SWEAR was totally true in every aspect, i even spared you guys small details because that would have been too much reading.
Mr. Goosecock,
Did you guys beat up this guy? If not, why?
it's the freaken locker room. It's ok to be naked. Grow up people.
Phallus Anserini,
You negated any chance of this story being found unusual by stating where you're from. Actually, most people from Texas don't even develop the intellectual capacity to play with their own feces until they're well into adulthood, so take heart.
Dude, go ahead and change in your room with your roommates present. It's your room, right? You shouldn't have to go to unreasonable lengths to keep them from being offended. I think reasonable lengths - like wearing a towel from the can to your room - are enough.
The problem to me with the locker room thing is the fact that guys who like to parade around naked are trying to enlist everyone else as an audience. It's one thing to be comfortable with your body, but it's something else entirely to display your junk to a bunch of other guys. Incidental nekkidness, as in getting dressed in your own room, doesn't qualify as parading your junk.

I had this roommate the first half of my freshman year I hated and he had a girlfriend I hated even more. She was always in our room, even when he was still at class. One day I came back from my shower with only a towel and found that bitch sitting on my bed watching my TV. I ceased to care at that point, whipped my towel of and let my junk jiggle in front of her face in all its glory. That got her to leave pretty quick and she didn't come around too often after that.
I've observed this behavior pattern with interest. Being average in size myself I have theorized, maybe those more comfortable with it swingin in the breeze are, uh, swingin in the breeze. Not so. Many of the more brave are actually underendowed. Now for the over 60 crowd, it coincides with an upbringing at an age when penis size was not talked about in every men's and women's health magazine so they have not been conditioned to "compare". (all our neuroses are learned after all). for many of them it never occurred to be either proud or ashamed.
big or small it is still rude if for no other reason than because it is shocking: after a long day at the office I don't like opening the door to the locker room and seeing a naked man standing there talking on his cell.

Wow, naked people in a locker room. Shocking.
WTF's the matter with you people?
It's skin. Everyone's got it. Relax.

And yes, how about a little title nine enforcement on the girls shower situation. Why they had individual stalls and we had the prison camp setting can't be good for their self image.
At my university our women's team locker room has community showers (no stalls) and it doesn't bother us, we are all comfortable in our skin. Sounds like your just insecure.
All kidding aside, people should have the option of privacy if they want it.
Here are 2 issues that have not really come up in this discussion:
- gays in locker rooms. Seriously. I am NOT a homophobe at all. I support Gay rights, and gay marriage, etc. But I am simply saying: if we divide the sexes to separate locker rooms, because women don't want men gawking at them when they are naked (and occasionally vice versa), then why are gays allowed in locker rooms with straight people of the same sex??? I am dead serious here. Shouldn't the gay men shower with the straight women? And the Lesbians with the straight men? Or maybe all the gays (men and women) should shower/change together? It is quite the dilemma really. I would really prefer that a gay men does not stare at my naked bod. That should be my prerogative, just as straight women don?t have to shower with straight guys (I bet they would prefer not having lesbians in with them too). What do people think about this situation?
- Also, what about Picture cell-phones? It is now REALLY easy to snap a shot of someone and send it all over the world. One can talk on their phone in the locker room and snap a quick pic. They are now being banned in many locker rooms. I would pay a girl to snap some shots in some of the women?s athletic locker rooms I know of (tons of hot chicks)?yes, I am a perv, there are many of us out there)
Basically, private showers would alleviate most of these concerns. People should have that option.
Well this sure is a dandy analysis of perhaps the greatest problem plaguing young runners (After shin splints, of course. All runing problems pale in comparison to the merciless shin splints). I'd just like to speak up for the sixty year-old(rounding down a little) flabby "old" man with the exposed genitalea. I feel it is necessary to show Private Johnson around every now and then in the locker room, just to let him loose among his comrades. So often we just shove him down into the depths of our under garments and we remove him only for the filthiest of pleasures--urination and penetration. And even during the latter of these two pleasures, if we are truly "safe", we cover the little guy up with latex.
All I'm saying is that every now and then, we all must let the cat out of the bag. I ask, what's the point in even having testicles if you can't show them off in a locker room? If it were socially acceptable and if the winter weather would allow such, I'd never wear any pants at all! I'd wake up happily every morning, throw on my cowboy hat and button-up shirt and be on my way and out the door. In fact, I'm naked more often than I'm not naked. Hell, I'm unclothed right now; perhaps you should be, as well.

Hmmm, are you dude or a chick? Chick's should let the "cat" out of the bag as often as they want, no problem there. But are you talking about your snake?

Oh, you are one of THOSE types of Cowboys.
Well i think it is ok and funny to just walk around naked in the locker room while holding conversation with insecure people.
Locker Room/Shower Fouls:
1-Sitting bare-ass on the bench
2-Putting the socks on first when you are standing their naked beside someone.
3-Putting the shower nozzle on needle mode.
4-Contact while naked(hand shakes, pats on the back etc.)
5-Throwing poop at people
The list could go on but those are my main issues. But its ok to act gay to bring out the totally homophobic guys in the showers. One really fun prank to do to people is walk behind someone when they are sitting on the bench with their shirt on(especially grey shirts) and sit your wet ass/chode on their nice dry back. leaving a huge ass crack and sometimes scrotum mark on their back that does not dry for a good 10minutes or so.
When my roommates girlfriend was in teh room and i needed to change clothes, i just did it. She didn't care. I didn't care. Being naked is not big deal.
i changed infront of my roomates girlfriend while he was at class, we ended up bonen down on his bed. ahh the good ol days
This thread is evidence that 90% of letsrun.com posters are gay.
I bet a lot of the kids who "towel up" might not be as far along in puberty as some others and may be conscientious about their lack of pubes.
When I ran with the Utica YMCA roadrunners we'd meet at the Y for some runs, thus the name. In the lockerroom between the changing area and the steamroom and sauna they had some old cheesy exercise equipment. Damned if some of those old dudes wouldn't ride the exercise bike butt arse naked. Don't know if I'll ever get over seeing that.
I'm just posting to this in hope it'll be moved back to page 1 (so it can be found by some people I want to provide funny reading matter to)
