I am joining a gym and was wondering if it was okay to walk to the showers nude and back to the locker nude?

Question

What are some ideas about that?

Answer 1

Doesn't Everyone? (Guys)

The Men's shower is right in the Locker room area. Who dresses to go to the Shower......lol...lol... (Always carry my Towel to Showers)

OBVIOUSLY, returning MOST Men just wrap the Towel around them.  

Answer 2

no that isn't appropriate  

Answer 3

Depends on several things. I would suggest you see what other people do.

When in Rome do as the romans do.

Answer 4

What country would this be in?  In the UK where I grew up, this was the norm in school and public places like swimming pools.  Here in the US, I got some very strange not-looking-at-me's and quickly figured out they are uncomfortable with it.

Answer 5

If you are comfortable with it, go ahead.

in Europe where I sometimes live,I have even seen 80 plus year old women walking around in the buff at the spas.

I don't feel comfortable with it myself and have seen many people bring a robe to put on while doing their hair etc.

I always find that the people with the worst bodies enjoy showing them off.

Answer 6

if your comfortable let it all hang out!!lol

Answer 7

If someone doesn't like it they do not have to look!  But then I breastfeed in public, so I may not be the best judge!  LOL

Answer 8

I dont think its appropriate...you could be very comfortable with yourself but that could make someone else very UNcomfortable.

Answer 9

You can.  I wouldn't make a point of hanging out nude in the locker room.  You could hold your towel over privates on your way to the shower or just walk nude.  But I would do it purposefully.  On the way back from the shower I usually wrap the towel around my waist.  Then when I get to the locker I take it off and put on my underwear.

I think you will find two categorys of people in mens locker rooms.  Guys that have been in the military are not hung up about nudity.  In boot camp they are conditioned to be used to nudity by having to shower with many people at one time.  In tight corners you can't be concerned about nudity.  People that have never been in the military are generally more self conscious - especially kids.  They just are not used to being naked in front of others and get very self conscious about it.  

Good luck!

Answer 10

Where I work out it is naked going to the shower, in the shower, in the steam room and sauna and returning to their locker for about half. Most of the rest struggle to some extent with body issues, some so much so that they only remove their sweaty T-shirt, spray on some deodorant and put on a dry shirt. Phew!

Do what is right for you and don't be intimidated.

Answer 11

Sure, it's fine. That's standard procedure in my gym.  

Answer 12

You can if you want. Some men are lazy to put towels around their waist. Some men like to show it off because being in a locker room is one of the common places you can actually be naked. Just feel normal, some guys don't look at other guys naked because they might be worried if they are called a homo or something.  

Answer 13

At our Club the showers are all individual with curtains. So people generally wrap a towel to travel back and forth from lockers to showers. If someone chooses to walk around nude that way I just assume they are showing off or exhibitionists. I ignore them. I prefer the more modest route.

Answer 14

It depends on whether you are male or female.  When I am in the mens locker room, most guys will walk to the shower fully naked.  When I am in the womens locker room, the women will cover all their parts.

And scream.

Answer 15

If the lockers and the shower are in the same room, and it is a very short distance (like a few feet) its OK.  If they are two different rooms or far apart, then no.
