My gym has separate stalls for each shower head. No curtains, but at least stalls. I wouldn't elect to take a shower if it was completely communal (i.e. all shower heads in the same room with nothing dividing them).

so I guess u guys are used to seeing other man's dongs..

So the reason you aren't comfortable with it is because you can't keep your eyes above waist level?

no I dont stare down, but u can see the whole thing when they are quite far..

the eye does not block out vision from waist down u know...

So why does it bother you so much? Is it "bringing up" some deep-rooted desires?

Its because I am not used to it..

Did you read the thread??

Only if there's (are) 12 shower heads and some bonehead decides to take a shower next to me.
-added
...and there's only 2 of in there.
So...did you take advantage of the situation?

Like I originally meant - just be a man and get over it. It's natural to feel a lil uncomfortable but no one really cares about your naked body - just like you're trying not to look at theirs or think "god what a big ass that guy has", they're doing the same.

Yes I did, but I still don't see why it's such a problem. It's just a bunch of dudes soaping up their hot, naked, glistening, supple young bodies.

Now be honest, that description got you a little hot, didn't it?

:roll: It really is true what they say, isn't it? People in this country are so afraid of their own bodies (and others' bodies), yet feel completely comfortable in blowing someone's head off in a videogame or watching blood and gore in movies.

Yes, because playing video games and watching movies with gore has everything to do with being nekkid.

Hey, I'm already *in* LE. You'd be amazed at the kind of stuff some of the guys talk about. Lets just say that the guys in the jail have seen prisoners do some creative hiding. :shocked:

My point was, it's a little sad that people are more ashamed and embarrassed by seeing nude bodies than seeing bodies covered in blood and guts with the attached head screaming in pain and horror.

I beleive the majority of the post in here are comfortable with it. I also think that its probably the same outside this forum and in the real world. Most people probably don't care and don't have the insecurites. honestly, your point is vaild (to you if you beleive that), but I don't agree with you at all.

Generally, one doesn't stare at other men's crotches when taking a shower in a public place.

I get all the stares, just because they admire my bigness.

thats just because u get a hard-on in the shower everytime.. :D:D
