RE:Communal Showers and body acceptance!

I started to have to take communal showers in the 8th grade. I was the youngest in my class so I didn't have any pubes like the other guys but I had skinny dipped with a friend before so that didn't bother me. I soon began to enjoy the experience and continued with communal showers through high school, college and the army I miss taking them now. There doesn't seem to be many places you can take them. As far as my body acceptance, I haven't had any problems with that although for a time I thought I was too skinny.

RE:Communal Showers and body acceptance!

I went to an elementary school that went through 8th grade and we didn't have showers or locker rooms. In 9th grade I went to the jr. high and don't even think we had to dress out for p.e. I know I didn't have to take showers. In 10th grade i was on the swim team (I was a diver) so other than changing into a bathing suit that was like a girdle to protect you from getting racked when you landed the wrong way, we didn't shower either.

My first job at 14 was working as a locker room attendant at the beach club we belonged to. It had a gang shower with three shower heads. Saw lots of guys taking showers and walking around naked. When not working and I came in from surfing, I did the same. I have a few of my friends that would not strip down and would shower in their bathing suits. I think they were kind of homophobic or didn't think it was a macho thing to be naked in front of other guys. I know one of them is still that way.

I can't see anything wrong with outdoor urinals. After all we all hang out together in the Gants public convenience - it's where Wee Willy meets the big knobs.

In Antwerp Belgium they have outdoor urinal pods in the streets in certain parts of town. It looks like a portable barrier but in a circl with three dividing walls and an opening iat the center for each one. You literally walk up drop em, and relieve yourself.
