Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never been naked in a room with another man or men. But, then again, I’m not gay, so maybe that’s common in those circles.
“Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never been naked in a room with another man or men.”
It’s been a LONG process, but making “a thing” of being naked around other men has been ginned up as taboo beginning sometime in the 1950’s. As late as the 1980’s Middle Schools and High Schools had communal showers and locker rooms for P.E. and they were used; you were naked daily changing into and out of your P.E. uniform, and rinsing off in the shower so you didn’t stink for the rest of the day.
IT WASN’T “A THING”; NOBODY made a deal about it except occasionally in jest, and there was never much of that because people only had ten minutes to get through and get their ass to their next class.
In the 1990’s I was a member of a gym, and guys were in the showers after their workouts all the time; everyone was respectful, got on with their own business, and any conversation was light, and incidental, or maybe two guys continuing on a subject they’d been discussing while working out.
This idea that guys are gay or weird ‘cuz they were naked around other men — that in and of itself is a f@#$%@d up notion, and a damning commentary about our deepening social rot. And, as always, who is it that’s leading the messaging; who is it that’s dropping the thoughts into the stream of public conversation? Who but our ever-present rot-promoters in the leftmedia?
