I don’t have any problem at all with seeing nude women in the locker room or being seen nude myself. My High School had a very strict rule about always showering after gym class, after team practices and games, and before swimming in the schools pool. And our school only had group showers. So I am completely used to and comfortable with female locker room nudity.

However, the thing that I hate to see is when some women sit bare-ass naked on the benches in the locker room at my gym. If they want to be nude, that’s fine, that’s their right. But please, for Pete’s sake sit on a towel if your completely nude.

Jessie… I’m Catholic myself, but actually I lost all inhibitions with nudity in the girls locker room at my Catholic High School. As I mentioned, they had very strict rules about us always showering after gym class, practices and games. We had to undress and walk through the locker room completely in the buff (there wasn’t anywhere to hang a towel or robe near the showers)and shower in the group showers that were 100% out in the open with no privacy.

Thanks for some good laughs this evening (between this and Apologia by Jennifer) I found some needed comic relief at MoB! (-:

Absolutely hilarious. Absolutely right on. Who knew the locker room would provide such excellent blog fodder? Love it!

SO DAMN FUNNY.

And exactly why I don’t go to the hot tub there. Freaks me RIGHT OUT.

It would be just my luck to sit in there and be confronted with the naked parent of some problem student.

Ugh, this is my biggest pet peeve EVER. As a good Catholic girl, I was taught to be appropriately modest (aka. weirdly secretive),learning at an early age important life skills such as “how to take a bra off without actually removing any clothing” (you pull it through your pant leg). So when a naked women in the locker room decides to strike up a conversation with me about Spinning class, the only thoughts going through my mind are:
a. God, please save me from this naked lady.
b. God, please don’t let my boobs ever look like that.

There is one women at my gym who blow dries her hair wearing nothing but her UGGS. Now I understand that blowing drying can make you hot in a steamy locker room, but if you can do it wearing fur lined boots, I’m thinking throwing on some underpants wouldn’t kill you. Just sayin.

I’ll try to moan more discreetly next time.

Try the sauna, the heat there is awesome for sore muscles.

The nakedness doesn’t bother me but I think it’s interesting that it generally bothers women more than men. Tho’ my huband did report a very fit naked gentleman doing umpteen sit ups in the men’s sauna. I have yet to see that on the women’s side. Actually I don’t think he mentioned it because of the naked factor, more in admiration of the ability to do sit ups in the sauna and not pass out.

I live in the hot tub capitol of the world–and I would hate getting in a tub with a naked person (I didn’t know)

Gross.

I don’t like going in with a bathing suit. Now, swimming naked in an ocean or lake, that’s different!

This is hilarious! And just when I was looking for an excuse not to join the gym…

Nothing like being in the middle of writing one’s own (MUCH less hilarious, in fact not at all humorous) blog post and checking Facebook as an avoidance technique and getting to laugh out loud, several times. your proposed rules would (might) address Naked Lady, but I don’t see any possible solution to Lady Orgasm…You Tube would just encourage those types!
