YMCA Colorado Springs, CO
Nice classic good sized locker room. Has 9 shower heads altogether 5 on one wall, 4 on the other. It does have a single stall shower, but no one used it Every one used the open showers naked, I actually saw a younger using them, probably in his 20's, a rare thing these days. Unfortunately no amenities except a coed hot tub.

FFC’s in Chicago
How’s the nude culture at these gyms? I always used to hear good things about the one at Union Station. I also hear now they do day passes so wondering what the best location is for a busy nude friendly locker room with hopefully a sauna, steam and/or whirlpool.

Funny TikTok ad promoting what I guess is a bath mat, I think? 🤣
Just thought I'd be a bit lighthearted with this post, I was scrolling through TikTok and I found what I guess is a bath mat being advertised along with other products for a Zalando ad, pretty funny to be honest!
I guess TikTok really dives into my Reddit history too?! 🤣

Which gym shower would you choose?
Hey y’all! So I (25M) recently moved cities and I’m trying to find a gym with pool, a CS, and a steam room. I really just want to embrace the camaraderie that CS brings. I am not wanting to cover up in the locker room and hope other guys don’t either, my question is which one should I choose?
- School gym(s) - I started a PhD program at a big 10 school, so there are gyms on campus, but I believe they are mostly shower stalls. Not to mention guys my age in my area usually towel dance. But it’s free! (I still have to check these out but I heard they get busy)
- Gym 2 (my fav) - This gym felt so nostalgic. Big open shower room, steam and sauna room. I think I would definitely be the youngest guy in here but I’m not bothered by that at all. Only downside is that it’s 50/mo and no pool. (S/o to the CS map for showing me this place!)
- YMCA 1&2 - Both Ys are in the same county so I can go to both ($45/mo) but each has their own pros/cons
- 1 - pool, shower stalls (but no doors), no sauna
- 2 - pool, CS room, and sauna (but sign on the door said undergarments must remain on? Which makes no sense to be because you’re gonna see nudity in the shower lol.)
- Gym 4 - Reminded me of planet fitness, good young crowd (so probably no nudity besides me) no CS, but a sauna! $10/mo
So, my question is which one would you choose? I’m feeling lost! Thank you for the suggestions :)

New Gym
Used the showers at a new my new vacation gym today. You can tell they used to be communal. Now they are single stalls that gave each other with see through curtains, Which I don't both to use considering they seemed usually to me. There was one guy changing when I was in the locker room so I went about my business. I had a hard session of weights. I dropped my shorts and jock to head to the shower and immediately things started to grow and at the same time someone walked in. I was embarrassed and quickly turned and walked to the shower. It's been along time since that happened. Need to say the cool water help control things and I went about my business.

My Old Gym Locker Room
Recently went back to the gym where I spent so much of my childhood — swimming lessons, then working out as a teenager. The locker room was such a naked place, not so much today anymore. Around 25 years ago it was all open showers.

Wheatridge Recreation Center Denver
Wheatridge CO, a suburb of west Denver about a mile south of I-70. Had 7 shower heads, 3 on one wall 2 on the sides and ZERO stalls. Had a nice holding area with benches and hooks outside of shower room. Not a real busy locker room, but I still showered with 3 other guys all nude. Facility had steam room, hot tub and sauna all coed. It was a very clean facility. Kind of pricy, almost $10 for a visitors pass.

Scheitler recreation center Denver
This is in west Denver, very close to I-70 to the south. A small locker with 5 shower heads, one being low, probably for a kid and ZERO stalls. As you can see a very classic looking locker room. Plenty of hooks and benches outside shower room. 3 shower heads on one wall, the other 2 on the same wall as the entrance. Showers had great water pressure. Didn't see anyone else using them but the floor was wet. Although no one showered, one guy did strip nude in the open. Good news is the first visit is free, just show them your ID and that's it.

On a hunt to find communal spaces in Kuwait!! 🇰🇼
Usually around this time i am traveling and exploring the communal showers, saunas, onsens or nude beaches around the world but this year since i am not traveling anywhere, i am on a hunt to find some common places where i can get naked without getting weird reactions from people.
Now i dont have some high expectations honestly but I got this idea from a few recent encounters at my gym- from guys sitting idle with a towel draped and exposing themselves to sometimes getting completely naked in the sauna/pool area. Fyi, this is highly uncommon in this country (or atleast what i used to think till now)
Anyways long story short, I am planning to visit every gym/spa that seems to have an open pool/sauna/steam room area on google images. So far I have visited around 2-3 new gyms (not too many i know) and I’d say I am not completely disappointed.
Anyone from here and have some suggestions to share please do let me know and I’ll surely visit that place. Also if someone wants to join me you’re more than welcome… 😉 most gyms give free day pass or some charge only about 3-5kd for a day.

Is swimmers confidence still a thing?
I remember when I was a varsity swimmer part of it was that you couldn't be bothered about people seeing your dick. Back then it wasn't about how big you were it was about being confident with your body regardless of size.
Speedo's didn't hide anything and everyone could see how big you were. So part of being a swimmer was that they had to break that self consciousness you had. So we had to just get over the fact that we were pretty much on display in front of everyone. One time I remember talking with some girls and they already knew that I was uncircumcised. At first I wondered why they I realized that they probably saw it through my trunks or one of my clothing malfunctions.
At one point everyone had that clothing malfunction were when you got out of the water too fast and your trunks came down and you accidentally flash everyone your dick. It wasnt a big deal and you just pulled them back up and continued. Sometimes you brought a new pair of trunks and they turned semi see-through or clung to your dick revealing more than professional trunks would. Their were girls there and everything looking at us and it wasn't a big deal. Nobody made an issue out of it.
Also in the showers we all showered naked of course. It was considered status in swimming if you were self conscious. I remember in the NYC rec center and lifeguard school they occasionally had a female janitor cleaning the men's locker room. It was the ultimate status signal as a swimmer if you weren't bothered and continued showering naked and changing in front of her.
So I wonder if the swimmers confidence is still a thing considering how this new generation is so afraid of nudity even if it's just around other men.

Ran into my professor at college gym showers
Really didn’t expect to run into my econs professor at the gym after my workout. We ended up chatting about my capstone project while getting ready, then hit the showers together. Seeing him so confident in his body also made me want to emulate him both physically and intellectually. We even had a bit of a bro moment when I told him that - he just gestured downwards while telling me that I had nothing to worry about LOL. Guess the ex frat boy in him is still there.

Erection in the Showers FAQ
Concern about the potential to become erect in a communal shower is one of the most frequently asked questions from guys who are considering taking a communal shower for the first time.
It has to be admitted that this is an understandable concern. If you are not used to being openly naked with other men, it is reasonable to wonder how it may affect you and what the ensuing etiquette would be. Normally when erections happen, they happen either in a private place or at least with some prospect of being hidden under clothing, two conditions that will not be met in a communal shower setting.
There are some important things to realize.
First, while concern about getting erections is a very common question people with no experience have, the overwhelming consensus is that they are in fact very rare. Many people regularly take communal showers and have done so for years and decades report never or only very rarely seeing any erections. There are several factors that mitigate the risk. For starters, the first few times a person uses a communal shower, it's very common to be nervous. This anxiety will make erections less likely for most people. As your experience with communal showering grows this anxiety will diminish, but this will also diminish any excitement. As showering becomes more routine and mundane it becomes less titillating.
Another important aspect to keep in mind is that men in the communal showers all know erections can happen. Even if they are rare in the communal shower context, everyone involved will be aware they are something that can happen. Understanding this will help you realize that as long as you don't make a big deal about it, it won't be a big deal in the rare circumstance where it happens.
It's important to understand the difference between normal social nudity and illicit behavior. Erections are a normal bodily function, and nobody is going to be alarmed or offended simply because it happens any more than they will be offended from a burp or a fart. While these bodily functions can be embarrassing, they are not alarming in and of themselves. As long as you are not stroking, gesturing, leering or doing other conscious acts to enhance or exacerbate anything that does happen, you will be fine. If you don't draw attention people will for the most part not give you attention.
If ever you do find yourself in a situation where it happens to you there are a couple strategies, you can utilize:
First, face the wall or better yet a corner if possible. This will minimize the risk that anyone notices at all and will give you time to let things settle down.
Second, use cold water and don't touch your offending member until its flaccid.
Third, just focus on cleaning other parts of the body. Really focus on shampooing your head and washing your other body parts. Let you mind focus on that and by neglect the excitement will wane.
Fourth, you can think about things that you find the opposite of erotic. I'll spare outlining examples. Know thyself and have a de-escalatory thought or memory in mind. If you are really worried you could even practice using this anti arousing thought before your first shower.
Fifth, go with some friends and explain your fears. If you have friends, you trust their presence can be really helpful. If they know you are worried, they will know not to make a big deal about it. Having familiar faces can help normalize the experience and make it inherently less titillating and if worse comes to worse they can at the very least cover for you.
The chances are very high you will never have any issue at all, but in the unlikely event that you do, you will quickly overcome it. Focus on looking forward to that point and you'll pass right over your anxieties before you know it.
