I admit, I'm new to the locker room scene. I played sports my freshman year in high school, but otherwise that's my main exposure to the locker room past gym class many moons ago. I've recently taken up the gym on my lunch hour as of end of January , at a local KC gym downtown. Lots of folks in and out over lunch obviously, and without fail every time I walk into the locker room someones bent over with the hairy asscrack facing the entry way. There's also the walk around the locker room with no shame guy, who seemingly doesn't have any clothes with him at the gym

Posted by Ben Rutkowski Dec 17, Lifestories Part of my fear also came from my same-sex attraction — the fear for potential arousal. In middle school and high school, I avoided the locker room as much as possible. If I did have to change, I picked a locker that afforded me the least opportunity to be near other people. I was curious how the other guys looked but also ashamed and scared to be around them or be seen in my nakedness.

I was in the 7th grade and two 8th grade boys on my basketball team were messing around with each other one row of lockers over in the boys locker room. I heard them giggling and peaked around the corner and saw one of the guys on his knees with his head down between the other guys legs. But at that point in my life I was still basically a virgin, and was a little nervous about doing sexual stuff, so nothing really happened.

We talked to the experts — and the locker-room nudists themselves. It's not as cut-and-dry as you'd think. Daniel became desensitized to nudity when he joined the Marines at I just lost the shame we build around our bodies when I realized that nobody cared and a body is just a body. Those old naked guys in the public locker room may be a dying breed.
