In the past two months I’ve seen a lot of vagina.
And no, I haven’t just realised that I’m a lesbian. I’ve joined the gym.
There seems to be something about women being segregated from men that gets many of us really excited to let it all hang out.
Each trip into the bathroom, I steel myself to wade through an ocean of breasts and genitals on my way to the loo.
To be absolutely clear, I’m not talking about momentary nip slips or quick, covert changes of underwear. I’m talking about full-on, full-frontal, unashamed birthday-suit action.
And this isn’t about ladies feeling comfortable in the anonymity of strangers. It’s girlfriends after a workout, colleagues, mothers and daughters – all laughing and chatting, buck naked, making no attempt to cover themselves up.
Meanwhile, rows of lockable changing cubicles stand neglected.
I’ve even seen one woman ironing – IRONING!
Just yesterday, the first thing I saw when I walked in was a completely nude woman bending over and touching her toes. Unfortunately for me, I was at the back end of her.
I’m not saying women should be ashamed of their bodies. In fact, I’m the first to admit to feeling stabbing pains of jealousy when confronted by a toned, cellulite-free butt attached to long legs. My whole life I’ve assured myself that no matter how amazing women can look on the outside, everyone has lumps and bumps under their clothes. That theory has now been brutally shot down in flames.

Sorry but i am one of those who gets naked at the gym. I do not see a problem with it. We all have the same bits....only slightly different proportions.
I probably spend as much time naked in the locker room as I spend time clothed in the gym. I am the one who walks around naked and showers naked (not all do) saunas naked and dries my hair and ...... I do carry a towel as I travel around the locker room I just don't wear it. I prefer to let my skin air dry, when I towel off it removes the natural oil from my skin and my skin gets very dry.
I think if you have issues about nudity in a locker room you probably have other issues as well. Nakedness itself is not a bad thing, actually it is the one thing we all have in common. Its what our minds do with it that makes it un common. A lot has been said about bendind over and flashing bits and such , well from my perspective its hard to get dressed without doing some of that. If you are looking at my lips or anus your staring so go ahead andd look other wise don't look in the first place.
If I decide to spend the whole day in the locker room nude who cares. A gf and I have actually almost done that. We went to work out but got lazy and went to the sauna instead. then showered and spread out our towels on a couple of chairs and chatted away. Eventaully did a bit of stretching and stuff and then repeated the whole thing ...yes nude the entire time. So if you were going to complain about us being nude so long and "showing " off why were you there so long watching...isn't that more pervy? By the way there are no rules against it.
On another nore about change rooms and kids. Why do some people feel they have the right to impose their hangups on others especially kids. Recently I took my 7 yr old niece to swimming lessons.I did not spend excessive time naked with her.we would arrive and quickly change to our swimwear. Yes we would get totaly naked in front of each other but it was only to change but she she saw me naked. In all the time (10 weeks) we were together her only question to me was would she get hair there like me and why don't some people have hair .
Then when we finished our lesson we would come into the locker room and get towels and go to the showers , still wearing our swimwear. the showers were communal. Once in the shower we would rinse off and then remove our suits and quickly rinse our bodies, no soaping or shampooing involved , just rinsing. So our time naked in the shower was very limited becasue as soon as we rinsed we wrapped up in our towels and headed to the sauna to get warmed up , pool and showers were never warm enough.
Once in the sauna w ewould sit on the benches and chat till warm ..still wearing our towels.Though other women were naked in the sauna we never did.when we got warm enough we would go back to our clothes and then would remove our towels and get dressed so nudity was very limited.
Funny part was I told her mom about our routine and she thought that it was good for her. Her mom said niece never once said anything about getting changed or mentioned anything about the naked women or us being nude...she accepted it as something you just did there. But everyday I was there with her at least one woman who was hiding to get changed didn't mind telling me I should keep niece covered or that I shouldn't let her see me naked or anyone else for that matter.
Its becasue of attitudes like those women have issues with there bodies.
The thing to remember in all of my ranting here is if you don't like to see me naked then don't look...and if you are complaining about me being there naked for so long ask your self why you sat there so long and looked if it only takes a few minutes to change!!
I couldn't agree more. I work at a gym and I love that women feel comfortable enough to freely change without judgement, ridicule or sideways glances.
I draw the line, however, at women who throw a leg up on the counter while they use a hair dryer to dry their downstairs hair-do.....really ladies? REALLY? Call me a prude if you will.
