All I know is, I’ve seen far too many old, naked men at LA Fitness.  Those guys are unbelievably comfortable with walking around like that. >

Same in the women's locker room. Old people just let it all hang out. >

Similar thought: we're technically never taught to not go into opposite gendered bathrooms/lockerooms nor told why that's the case. We're just sorta expected to know that. >

Speak for yourself but I still remember the first time at the YMCA my mom sent me into the men’s locker room instead of going in with her.
I  couldn’t have been over like 6, but then again I’ve always been very tall for my age so I think the YMCA lady thought I was much older. >

As a gay boy back then it was awful, I did the whole undressing thing, getting a shower and dressing up again in like 10 mins. 
I wanted no one to notice I could have looked at another guy even for a second, and out me.
My straight classmates meanwhile, were giving eachother butt slaps, touching eachother pretending to be gay, commenting on dick sizes and humping eachother lol. >

Honestly that should be normal. There is nothing inherently wrong with nudity and it shouldn't be stigmatized to the extent that it is.
The really weird thing is how we're expected to completely cover up our bodies around the opposite sex. >

Oh goodness, grow up, it is just nature.
Spend 5-10 minutes in a (mixed) sauna and the awkwardness is gone. >

Truth. Took a little over 10 minutes though. But it's so refreshing to get that out of your system. >

Slap asses on the field then share a warm soapy shower together? Pass. >

Scared you might get the dirty thoughts? >

No I’m comfortably hetero but people are gonna perve.   Otherwise we’d be allowed to shower with you ladies.
