Comfort Level Showing Dick to Other Men?

But Bly was a scam artist!

I had an interesting experience a few years back that was totally out of the ordinary.

I was at the YMCA and had finished my normal workout..........I had showered and returned to my locker to get dressed. There was an older gentleman next to my locker (he was in his 70s)...........he was naked, about 5'5" and pretty hung, and physically slim. I was drying my hair in front of my locker and he reaches over and grabs my dick and says, "you have a pretty big cock".........I started laughing......at the surprise/absurdity of his actions.......I then said, "yeah I like it pretty well"......and he says my wife loves my cock.........she always puts her wrist watch on it because she is amazed that my cock is bigger around than her arm. I laughed some more and said really? I said you look like you have a lot to be proud of and he said yes I do, and I am.

We finished drying off and got dressed and went our separate ways. There was nothing sexual about it.......neither of us got hard............it was almost like a father behaving this way to a son that he was close to............even tho sons and fathers do not behave that way.

I did not take offense at his actions because 1) he was shorter than me 2) he was almost 50 years older than me 3) I was caught off-guard and definitely was not expecting anything like that to occur. I chalked it up to pure innocence etc. When I think about it these days I still laugh about it.

I am pretty easy going for the most part anyway with people..........but I do have my limits.............I might have behaved differently had it been someone else and the circumstances different...........I do not know.

In general I enjoy being nude with guys........no modesty unless the other person shows a lot of modesty..........then I will respect them by showing the same amount of modesty. With some people I can see how sensitive they are about nudity and would not intrude on them in any way.

mkbassguy: I also feel comfortable being naked around other men, but most men nowadays seem to stray away and avoid showers after gym and sports, I mean if its all guys, whats there to hide.

I have been in that situation once or twice, where a guy in a group shower had an erection, and I thought, "Hey, good for him." There was, fortunately, nothing sinister about it, it just seemed as though the guy had one and that was that. I was even tempted to give myself permission to get one, but I didn't have the nerve. Sadly, we don't live in a society that knows how to talk openly about our penises, especially erections.

On the old board we had a thread somewhere about
how things had changed as far as men being naked together
at gyms, swimming pools and even urinals.
It is all about privacy right now,
and protecting those rights to privacy, etc, etc.

Too bad, cuz i liked it when things were more out in the open....
Did men really hate those situations so much all those years,
that they went around changing it?
Nude swimming and gang showers,
and troughlike urinals are a thing of the past now,
or becoming so.

I really don't have a problem with it, I mean, I've been used to it since High School, and then later, in the gyms. If someone does happen to venture into my house, and catch a glimpse of me, what the hell's the problem? I'm in my house minding my own bees wax. Shit, one time I answered the door when there were a couple of Jehova's Witnesses right when I was-entertaining, in the buff!

I have never had an issue with being around other guys nude, but I have always had a problem with getting a hard-on if I have to get undressed around people. In the lockeroom at the gym I have finally gotten over it, but in other situations I haven't. It isn't even like I want it to happen...it just does. I think it is some kind of weird feedback look in my head where I worry about a boner so much that by the time I get undressed I am well on my way to full mast if not already there.

I had a friend invite me over to go hot tubbing one night after we had gone out to eat. I said that I didn't have a bathing suit and he said no problem, you don't need one. Well little did he know it was going to be a problem when I dropped my pants in his living room with a full blown hard-on. I think the first time I was successful in either keeping my back to him or turning so he couldn't see. A few weeks later when he asked me back I felt weird about trying to be so modest around him and just came clean and said "look, this isn't anything sexual, it just happens and I can't help it." He said no big deal and that was that.

I just can't imagine being in some of the situations you guys describe because there is no way that I would be able to wall around folks or hang out and stay soft, at least at first. I think after the newness is gone and being "discovered" things would calm down, but otherwise to quote Ricky Ricardo, I think I'd have some 'splainin to do.

I am quite modest and really don't like undressing in front of others, unless it's a female who is also undressing...

That means that I never strip down past my underwear in the locker room at the gym, and don't shower there.

It was never much of an issue with me, but I grew up living in one room with my 3 brothers and grew up as an athlete. As I've said before, I'm not particularly well hung, at least in the length department. The size of my dick never bothered me in that context. Back when I was in high shcool it wasn't uncommom at all for the guys on my team to bring up the subject of our dicks while in the showers. We were pretty frank about it and we even compared erections. However, these were guys I had grown up with and had been playing hockey with for years, so we had all seen each other naked since before puberty for the most part. As such, we were close and such things seemed "normal". Today, on the other hand, my main nudity situations occur with my wife (and we've discussed everything related to dick size) and at the gym. I don't have any work out buddies anymore. So I don't think I'd feel comfortable bringing the subject up in front of a stranger.

To answer your question, in order for me to be comfortable, we need to have an already established friendship or such before I would be comfortable.

Having grown up sharing a room with my older brother I was never uncomfortable with nudity around him, my dad, or other male relatives...then came upsetting pool experiences as a kid. Fortunately, as junior high rolled around and showers after sports became common--and other guys started developing and talking about each other, not just me--I became more relaxed about being naked with my buddies, taking pride in my Big Meat On Campus status. Now, it seems to take me forever to get changed and showered in the gym <g>.

No, I have no problem flashing my package to other guys. I've gone naked infront of friends on a dare before (friends who ran from where they were sitting to get the best view). I'm very comfortable in gym shower settings, group or otherwise, if there are curtains I close them only not to be so obvious about showing off my big dick. But I don't feel the need for a towel or anything wrapped as I'm walking around the locker room.

Interestingly, I have one friend who has stated that he would not shower in a group shower setting with me because my 'mr. perfect' body and endowment (he hasn't seen, but he is certain I'm hung, which I am) would make him uncomfortable.

huge: i don't care who see's my penis. But it may also be because I have a big one.

I love being naked in public -- and especially love nude beaches. I don't think I've ever been in a situation where another guy has approached me in a locker room, or in the shower or on a nude beach and commented on my dick or body when it HASN'T been sexually motivated. Bradleem's story was cool, but if some guy reached over and grabbed my dick and talked about his wife sucking him, I would get hard in a heart beat.

I am really comfortable being naked in front of other guys. It really just doesn't bother me at all. I really don't have a problem with showing, comparing or whatever with other guys either. I mean im not gonna whip my cock out for some complete stranger, but if its someone i know, then it really doesn't bother me. Being at nude beaches is always fun because you can compare what youve got with others.

I don't mind if other guys see my cock. I don't go out of my way to show it, but it's fine if folks want to look, or comment. I would not want someone just grabbin my cock. If he asked, i would still probably say no thanks, but I would respect a polite gesture instead of just grabbing.

Guys tend to check each other out at urinials etc.; i think is is a natural thing; no problem. I have guys get erect around me like at a gym or something. I think that maybe natural too, it doesn't bother me. I guess it could be considered a compliment.

I have had guys see the bulge in my jeans and get forward. If he is polite about it it that's cool, but I probably won't just whip it out and show him. I used to, but i guess I am not into it. Nothing wrong with whipping it out, just not my thing anymore.
