Nudity in a mixed gender locker room

Posted 2010-01-23 by armchair73 129 voters
The pool where I live offers fairly cheap swimming lessons for the public, with some classes for adults but most for children. However, it is located in a building that is quite old, and there is only one locker room, because when it was built only men were allowed in anyway. Since they barely have enough funding to keep it open, they have not been able to afford a renovation. This means that everyone who goes in changes togeather and showers togeather, mostly nude.

The locker room is usually prety full, which means there is no privacy or gender seperation. Are you okay with this?

The youngest children in there are usually about 4, and are signed up for swiming lessons. After that, there are usually people of all ages. Is this too young for a girl to see a full-grown, naked man, or vice versa?
Yes,too early

I was in the shower after my lesson one day and there was a group of 6 and 7 year olds from another class in the couple showers next to me. I am 15, so a bit older then them and more developed. One little boy was staring right at my vagina. I was not at all bothered by this , but I know others might think differently. What do you think I should have done?

As the locker room was origionally designed for use by men only, the locker room has a trough yearnal on one wall. Most of the men and boys use it after undressing but before taking a shower and putting on a suit. However, a surprisingly large number of women and girls have learned how to direct the stream of their pee by spreading the lips, and use the trough before taking a shower just as the guys do (myself included). Now we all know that a man is physically better equiped to do this than us women, be some women seem to think that it is morally wrong for a woman to pee like this. I find it much more convenient than the convential way, but I want to know what others think.
There is no reason for a woman not to pee standing up

I usually go with three or four of my freinds, both male and female, and none of us are uncomfortable being nude togeather, and I have peed alongside both genders at the trough. As we have all been going for some years now, we have seen each other mature physically, as have the many of children who are younger than us who come in with their parents. Do you think it is good for children to be aware of this at such a young age?

Once in a while, a young child who goes in by themselves forgets to put a suit on and goes to the pool naked. Someone usually reminds them of this fairly soon (usually within 5 minutes) and they go back to put a suit on. Since everyone uses the same locker room and see each other nude in there anyway, do you think it should be required to wear a suit in the pool?
Yes

Sometimes after we get out if the locker room is REALLY crouded, my freind's and I grab our clothes from our lockers and step into the hall to dry off and get dressed. At one end is the weight room/treadmill room, and at the other is a pair of large, glass doors looking into the parking lot. Even though this hall is where everyone goes through going in and out, and even though we are plainly visible from the parking lot, no one even seems to notice our nakedness. Would you complain about nude teenage boys and girls in the hallway at your local pool?
Yes, I would complain

If you are a girl, are you interested in trying to learn how to pee standing up? Be warned, it takes practice, you won't get it the first time. A good place to practice is is the shower.
Yes, I wanna know how to do that!
