Yeah, the old men are disconcerting, and by far the most likely to be wandering around, nude & aimless. But the old guys at this gym are a big step up from the ones at my old gym. That place was filled with ex-military types, so the old guys were not only naked and creepy, but in depressingly better shape than me.

I can take over and provide some spinning tales of woe. The whole biking-by-blacklight thing is so awesome, but I can't help thinking that halfway through the class, we should all just stop and make out, à la middle school (because who didn't have a blacklight in middle school?)

But also, I'm the dork in the back row who cheats and doesn't up the resistance as much as the instructor tells us to. Because, let's face it, spinning is hard. And I'm always paranoid that the Lance Armstrong-esque dude next to me is noticing my cheating, and smirking.

And I agree, walking around naked in the locker room is totally against the Code. Face the wall, use a towel, or go into a stall if you must. Let's keep it covered, ladies.

what?!?! cover up? are you crazy? and ruin everyman's fantasy?

next you're going to say that you women shouldn't be lathering each other up in the shower! now that's just crazy talk...

Ladies, the men's locker room is the worst. Men of all ages and types will hop out of the shower room and sit their bare asses on the wooden benches in front of the lockers. First off, I'm not homophobic, but I don't want any part of a man's ass to come in contact with me or with my clothes. If you are going go sit on a bench naked, at least place a towel underneath your butt. GROSS!
And let's not forget "locker room smell". I can't be sure that it happens in the ladies facility, but the men's side has a persistent smell of... balls. I said it! I just smells no matter how much they clean and deoderize. Am I right guys? Or maybe it's just my gym.

My best girlfriend and I were just having a discussion about "locker room prudes" earlier tonight, so I thought I would look up what other ladies have to say on the matter.

My girlfriend is like a couple of the other people who posted above. She hates to see any other women nude in the locker room.

I on the other hand do not consider there to be anything wrong with it when I or any other women walk around the locker room in the nude. I'm completely straight, and I can assure you I am NOT doing it to show-off! I just don't see any reason for people to freak out over catching a glimpse of a member of the same sex nude in a locker room?

The very first time that I ever worked-out and the gym that I had just joined I tried to cover up and be as modest as I could, but it was just pointless anyway.

For starters it was a communal shower room that was 100% out in the open. Despite that I still covered up with a towell to walk over to the showers. When I got there I discovered that there wasn't anywhere to hang my towell without the possibility of it getting wet by the showers. And then of course the damn thing fell on the floor and got soaked.

After that I said to myself "the hell with it, it's a WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM, I don't have anything that any of the other women haven't seen before or don't have themselves, it's silly to be worried about covering up."

Again, I'm NOT an exibitionist and I'm not trying to show-off, but it's a heck of a lot easier and nicer to not even worry about whether or not other women are seeing me nude or not. And eventually you get completely used to it. And it works both ways. If another woman walks up to me when she's nude and asks me what time it is or something like that I just make normal eye contact and answer her, it doesn't embarrass me at all.

I'm not saying that anyone should walk around naked in the locker room if that does embarrass them, but I also don't understand why it should bother anyone to see someone else nude? Even my "prudish" dear girlfriend has admited that over time you get used to it and don't consider it that odd or embarrassing, and she is the most shy woman I've ever known.
