My Mom says I'm so modest I crossed my legs during her sonogram! (something like that!)

Women used to do that at the Base gym all the time. I just kind of looked right ahead at my locker and that was it!

What sparked this thread was:

As I was walking to my locker at the gym, there was a woman about 35..sprawled out on the bench naked applying lotion ALL OVER!!


Seriously, I get that nudity is natural..but don't sprawl in front of me

To me, its weird..I do not wish to see nude women all over the place..

And personally, I am not comfortable being naked in public..

What about you guys?
hmm can you sneak a camera in, i really need to know, before i can judge this
just kidding.,

lol anyway, i must be getting old, or something cause now, i dont care.
i think miss america could walk naked down the street and i would not care.
Nor do i care if someone sees me.

I do think we Americans (with our puritan background) make a little too much out of nudity, and that no doubt contributes to our unhealthy societal obsession with sex... and probably also raises the incidence of abnormal sexual imprinting. So I don't pass judgment on people who are cavalier about nudity...

But oh my gosh it would make me nervous too!
There are only a select few people I'd like to know THAT well. And they're all men!

In locker rooms I go to no great lengths to stay totally covered all the time, I just can't balance well enough to do that whole shimmying-behind-a-towel dressing dance. But I don't wander around nekkid either.

I wouldn't walk around naked, & it doesn't always bother me. The ones that bother me are the ones who are....ummm....flaunting things. In gym, we had one girl who would walk around "Are my boobs bigger than yours?"

Hmmm...I don't walk around in the full buff, however I will strip down to the panties.

Unfortunately the gym I go to has decent blockage of the locker room from the rest of the gym, but if I strut my stuff too much, umm, the rest of the gym might see it.


Anyways I don't shower at the gym because of the whole germ thing, so I just change and go.

I don't like being naked in front of people. I feel uncomfortable seeing others naked in a locker room. It doesn't really bother me, but if I need to use the mirror or whatever, I don't want to feel like I'm staring at them when I'm not!

Nudity in itself I have no problem with. It's just certain situations that I may not feel that comfortable with.

No way would i, and i hate seeing other women like that as well
I used to go to a sauna with a co worker years ago, and the pair of us were the only ones who wore a swimming costume

I will only be naked in front of the mirror, bf and gp/gyno (partially obviousely) When i was little i would used to go swimming at the local pool with my nan and it was perfectly natural for women to change in front of eachother, but at the tender age of 10 or 11 i did not want to see a bunch of elderly women INCLUDING my nana being naked *shudder*

If i ever go back to a public pool or gym i keep my eyes to the floor and if im changing completely ill do it in the shower/toilet cubicle

ack nightmares

I don't have a problem being as naked as I need to be to get out of my workout clothes, into my robe (notice I said robe), into the shower and back to the locker to get dressed. I'm no fashion model (solid 12/14 here), but I'm also not going to do that contortionist dance I used to do in HS to keep anyone from seeing me


I do have a problem with people who think they need to air-dry their bits in a full locker room. Hello? I'm not interested in your nekkid butt on the communal benches! There's all sorts of nasty stuff you can pick up (staph, fungus, etc) in gyms and locker rooms. Not to mention that it does make a lot of people uncomfortable to see your stuff swinging around.

In a family changing room, that's just ludicrous.

As for me- I never walk around naked in the gym, it just feels awkward to me!

Nope... I don't go around flaunting my nakedness unless it is around my bf...Ok and sometimes my mom or my sister catch me going number 1 when the door is open (none the less Im still covered up)! When it comes to locker rooms I go change in a stall or something of the sort...I like my privacy and I guess I just don't have that kind of confidence to be nude in front of strangers...

Seeing women in changing rooms is a reminder how people don't look like models.
Great point!

This is how I am in locker rooms. I figure we're all women and I don't have anything new so it's not a big deal to change but I certainly don't prance around naked. I change and get done with it.

At home though I HATE clothes... especially under garments so I'm usually in shorts/yoga pants and a t-shirt or tank. And if we're having a "special" weekend at home we'll have a naked day where the only time we put clothes on is to cook!
Keeps the sparks flying!

I felt that way until I breastfed my daughter. After THAT, all modesty flew out the window, and I have since been to - and enjoyed being at - a nude beach.

That said, I do NOT walk around like an exhibitionist. If I am in a gym, I will have a towel on me. But if it falls by accident, I won't freak out.

I'm sure the only way to stop her would be by giving her a n----- twister.
