In all seriousness though, I had already heard gym horror stories of trying to cancel membership, hearing this just solidifies me not wanting to go the gym. I'll do my exercising/working out at home, thank you very much.

 

[Shins]

Being old brings the privilage of not caring what young people think. I look forward to it. It will make interacting with people in real life that much more like the Internet!

I prefer that my girl's vagina NOT to look like an Arby's sandwich, thank you.

So what you're saying is that you're not a card-carrying pussy crusher yourself?

Sucks bro.

Spoiler

Please don't PM me about this.

The gym is named 24 Hour Fitness Also for some reason the people that go to my gym have explosive diarrhea.

Eww. Too much steroids?

 

[JDSN]

Are you guys seriously tripping out over naked guys in a locker room? Is there a male locker room on planet earth that exists, past middle school, that features solely clothed guys? The whole point of a locker room is that you change in them. This tends to involve nudity.

Read some of the responses, aparently being nude is tolerable (maybe encouraged?) only if the people doing it are young guys physically fit.

Also, for being such a horribly traumatic experience for you, you seemed to paint a lovely portrait :lol

Well, if you read his other stories theres always an homoerotic subtext to them.

It was a response to the "Arby's sandwich" comment, which was an analogy meant to describe how a porn star's snatch looks like.

Dude it's just a stupid joke. Calm down.

 

[Roto13]

It's the old people that are naked because they're mature enough not to be bothered by nudity. If nudity bothers you, stay out of the locker room. It's like going into a public bathroom and being disgusted by someone peeing in a urinal.

 

[Atrus]

Don't be stupid. My not wanting to see 60-year-old guys let their balls hang out has nothing to do with "teh gay."

I'm pretty sure it is related to it. Where does this revulsion suddenly come from? It's not a biological emphasis but a cultural one, and this cultural one has to stem from somewhere only in the past few decades and is more particular to North America.

 

[samus4ever]

In all seriousness why would you go in the locker room in the first place? Just book it out and shower/change at home.

Because you don't wanna sit in sweaty dirty ass clothes? Maybe you have work/a date/plans after? Learn some fucking hygiene.

The fact that you think that everyone thinks that that is a vagina means that it was the first thing you thought of too.

Forsooth grandsire! Thine berries sag like the teets on ye olde cowe we hast put out to yonder pasture not a fortnight hence! Good show sir! Good show!

I'm sure that's how they handled these situations in the middle ages. Positive, even.

This isn't a homophobic thing,

It certainly isn't

This is the first time I’ve ever talked about this. To anyone. So please take this tread seriously and avoid responses like “well, do you like to suck cocks? You’re probably gay.” Because the fact of the matter is I’m very confused, and I’m not sure what I like anymore. All I know is I’m about to turn 21, and my love life has been far from normal.

I think this all boils down to where I stand in regards to women. Let me put it to you like this: I have never, ever brought a girl home to meet my parents. I’ve never had a serious relationship period, unless you consider sex the main component, and I don’t. To me, the emotional aspects are what make relationships so special, and I’ve never felt that. I don’t know what love is, and I find that disturbing.

So I’ve come to the point where I just have to wonder… What’s wrong with me? Why is it that any chemistry I experience with a female remains purely physical, for me anyways, and then quickly fizzles out?

My first sexual encounter with a girl didn’t happen until after I had graduated high school. By that point I began wondering just what the hell was wrong with me. The thought of me being gay never crossed my mind, but nevertheless I felt obligated to have sex, not for any reason other than to feel normal.

So I did. The girl was an amazing person, but as time went on I discovered that I had no real feelings towards her whatsoever. And such has been the case with every girl since then. I never felt any emotional attachment to any of them. To be perfectly honest, I think the only reason I even slept with them was to prove something to myself… Perhaps to prove to myself that I’m ‘normal’? I don’t know.

A while ago, one girl pointed it out to me. She asked me why I always keep myself so distant. She asked why I wouldn’t open up to her. “How can we build a relationship if you can’t open up?” she asked. We couldn’t.

So what’s wrong here? Some of you might be thinking that I’m not gay, I just have trouble opening up to people. If only it were that simple… Imagine coming to the realization that the only reason you ever got involved with someone was to be accepted, to fit in. And it’s not quite as simple as saying “Hey dudes, I’m gay!” either.

The pressure I get from work and friends doesn’t make it any easier. Nobody can understand why a young, goodlooking guy like myself is single. I don’t either.

What makes this even more difficult is that I’m not sure how I feel about guys either. I get hit on a lot, by both girls and guys. And while I’m not turned off by the fact that a guy is checking me out, I’m not necessarily turned on by it either.

The first time the thought ever crossed my mind about it was last semester. My philosophy 312 class was about to begin, and the door was still open. I was sitting in the front row, and could see out into the hallway into the next classroom, which also had their door open. Sitting in one of the front seats was this asian dude. He was dressed so well that it looked like he carefully planned out each individual aspect of his outfit, right down to the bracelets on his wrists. You could tell he was gay, but he wasn’t super effeminate queer. For whatever reason, I couldn’t stop staring at this guy. Maybe I was just admiring how well dressed he was, but the thought still crossed my mind about it later on.

I literally have nobody to talk to about this. My friends, or ‘the guys’, would without a doubt disown me at the mere prospect of me being gay. My family… Just no. I can’t talk to them about this shit. And I’m in college so I can’t afford a shrink. I don’t know what to do.

Sorry for the long post, but this has been building up for a long time… Maybe some Gayming Age members will be able to see where I’m coming from? Or maybe not..

 

[entremet]

Doesn't really bother me. I change, work out, shower, and change again and leave. It's not like I'm lingering the locker room. Besides, after going to gyms for more than 6 years, you just get desensitized to it after a while. It's really not that serious.

 

[Killthee]

Why I did it.

Someone refresh my memory; are they still a bannable offense or was it just that one specific pic that was bannable?

 

[Dina]

Wow, talk about a hostile junior.

My gym doesn't have showers, but it does have a changing room. It kinda sucks cycling home in your still moist shirt, but I live close by and jump under the shower immediately anyway.

 

[Rewrite]

It certainly isn't

Skimming through that thread, I realized that I haven't seen Nick post something in forever.

Jeez I hope not, it wasn't listed as a bannable offense. :/

I don't see how this can be a problem if you just shower, change, and leave. You'd have to deal with it for maybe 10 mins. So what?

[Flying_Phoenix]

For an on-topic post. ...I mean REALLY TC? It's a locker room also known as a changing room also referred to "the showers". Do you really think that its so taboo to walk around ass naked?

Yeah, I'm flying off the handle.

That saying I REALLY wouldn't trust those "here's pics of my girlfriend threads". Not saying that noone has a girlfriend on this site (I mean most people on here ARE adults) but its common in forums to exaggerate by posting false info.

 

[Inanna]

Okay, on topic. Maybe it's a guy thing to walk around/chilling naked in the gym, having idle conversations for hours. I've never encountered it so I dunno what it's like, and how I'd react if I faced a similar situation myself. Don't think I'd mind though. Besides, women are a bit modest than men when it comes to nudity.

OP, what's your opinion on skinny dipping?

 

[Killthee]

Jeez I hope not, it wasn't listed as a bannable offense. :/

It was one of those meme's that people killed by posting over and over until it became annoying and was punished by a ban, but I can't remember if it was that specific ham & cheese pita pic or all sandwich=vagina pics.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Change in the car douchebag. Us men have balls to keep dry which is impossible to do with the moisture pouring out of your vagina.

This post is a good post.

I know what your talking about, so I'm hoping it is that specific ham & cheese pita pic. I edited my post, but everyone seems to have quoted it :/

 

[MIMIC]

I have to admit...I'm not really comfortable with gym locker room nudity but what makes me MORE uncomfortable is that other people aren't comfortable with it either. But I HATE succumbing to awkwardness more than anything so I just rip my towel off and start slapping people with my dick. OK, I don't take it that far but I DO get naked in front of the other guys when I'm changing (none of that pulling my underwear down from under my tightly-wrapped towel stuff)....but if I'm coming out of the shower, I'm wearing a towel. Even when I get out of my OWN shower I'm wearing a towel.

I don't really have a "problem" with it. If the showers weren't private, I wouldn't have a problem either. It's just a "get over it" thing in my eyes. But I'm never just "chilling out" naked.

I used to go to the gym 4 days a week when I was still in school (OSU) and it WAS a little weird seeing all of the old men just walking around naked. It was kinda funny. Their old, wrinkly asses made me go >_<

That can't be helped, but I don't think most are doing that. Quite a few in there post pics of themselves along with their girls. I suppose they can be fake pictures of themselves, but that drifts into the realm of the strange-as-fuck, even for GAF.

A good amount of gaffers are married as well. The gamer = virgin stereotype is starting to die off as gaming becomes more popular, and as online dating (in all of its forms, i.e. WoW) becomes more popular. Nerds are hooking up with fellow nerds.

 

[industrian]

You should go to japan.

I went to a sauna on my first day in Korea. Getting naked and sitting around with a bunch of Korean and Chinese dudes in near-boiling water on your first day in the country is something that ensures you're forever immune to culture shock.

It's cool, you get to actually sexually satisfy their women.

I don't think that thought has ever crossed an Asian guy's mind.

 

[Scribble]

Maybe they're trying to solicit sex with sexy young men?

That is true.
