I certainly don't mind seeing naked women in locker rooms, but a lot of straight women seem to take issue with it. They go through weird rituals involving changing clothes while revealing as little as possible. They use huge towels or avoid showering in locker rooms at all. I'm glad I don't have to use locker rooms anymore.


I think this is because most women (myself included) have body image issues. Girls are catty and they talk. That one has a fat butt, that one has saggy boobs. Who wants to be bothered. Girls gossip too much. Shoot, I would hide my body from a gossipy witch straight or gay.


Oh, that makes sense.

Am don't have a problem with it,don't feel different either way around nudity,grew up with little awareness of humans so don't think about seeing it unless the person is attention seeking and tries to get attention onto their nudity.
The 'aspie b***h from hell' whom am used to live with in the last home,uses nudity for attention seeking and will take all her clothes off in front of strangers,on the street,or in front of anyone else in the home.
Staff said it's okay for her to do it in front of female,but not in front of male,why not both or not at all?

I don't want to see other women naked, and I don't want them to see me naked. Men are usually much more forgiving of the female body than our fellow women.

It doesn't offend me, but usually it is just plain not pleasant seeing another person naked. I don't consider being naked in public to be proper or polite. Of course, like some of the other girls said, I just don't look. Problem solved. There's a certain level of nudity I would expect to find in a locker room....but why would you ever need to be completely naked? They usually have individual showers.

They're just bodies and it's no big deal, but you aren't at all weirded out by the idea of your coworkers seeing you naked?! They have to talk to you every day. Everybody's different though. It's good that you are completely comfortable with your own body, but just be aware that most people are not really comfortable with it.

I feel a bit embarrassed at seeing women fully naked. I do not feel comfortable being naked in front of anyone.
Still I would not complain about a woman being naked in a locker room, in fact I feel a bit silly for getting embarrassed about it. :oops:

There are some places where being nude is inappropriate, but I don't think the shower in a locker room is one of them. :?
I agree and think the boss is overreacting a bit.

It doesn't bother me really. We're all more or less the same... I used to be wary of people seeing me naked and I'd make every effort to hide it at high school, but nowadays I really couldn't care less who sees me.

It freaked me out when we had to start dressing down for gym in junior high, but now that I'm an adult it dosen't bother me as much. I have to change in front of others at the dojo fairly often, and over the course of several years I've just gotten used to it. The alternative is to wear one's gi to and from the dojo, and the funny looks + dirty leg cuffs are more uncomfortable than a few seconds dressing in the same room.

If naked women bother you, you don't have to look at them.

Same.

When I was volunteering at an orphanage with European women, they would all use the toilet with the other women around, or I'd be having a conversation with one in her room and she'd just undress with no warning at all. I didn't grow up like that and it makes me feel weird. I felt bad, too, because I noticed that my modesty with my own body made them uncomfortable being themselves. I am very curious about other bodies and I do not think that bodies are bad at all. If I saw a photo of women in a locker room I would look at them, not for sexual reasons but out of curiosity, to see what normal bodies look like.... average women are much more beautiful and interesting to me than bikini models. It's just that my lack of social understanding makes these unfamiliar situations incredibly uncomfortable for me, so I avert my eyes in person and change in private if at all possible.

Honestly, I do not even like dressing in front of a romantic partner. Being naked in a sexual context is fine, but I don't like to mix sex and grooming. I like to be alone when I am getting ready for my day. I'm embarrassed to admit this because nobody seems to understand. They think I should "get comfortable" with it. I don't want to.

I'm very thankful we didn't have those open toilet stalls when I was in primary school. It would be so difficult for those kids who were very modest. Having a wee if other people could see is something I could possibly get used to but that would be the limit.

I am totally bothered by naked women in locker rooms.

1. They are not my naked women: family, friends, ect.
2. They *may be* gay. I am not gay, but I know the world is intermittantly extremely bisexual or alternative. So for me, it's creepy.

The society is not brought up this way. Europe, yes. America, no.

I conciously think someone has done a politeness by wearing a towel or providing shower curtains.

Why bother wearing clothes out doors if that is the case. Just because I am in a locker room doesn't mean I am priveledge to your privates and you are priveledged to my privates.

It doesn't bother me soo much, really, unless the naked person then wants to chat or acknowledge my existance; just don't talk to me.

I dont mean this bad in any way it's just my opinion.

People do this at my gym and I find it really, really embarrassing. I know you're supposed to not look but there's always that moment of seeing them before you avert my eyes which makes me feel guilty. Part of this guilt is to do with the fact that I have slept with women and I know I must be exactly the sort of person they don't want in there.

Plus of which...

*Yesterday there was a completely naked woman standing in front of my locker. How was I supposed to get to my things without looking at her?

*I don't like walking around with my eyes glued to the floor the whole time!! !
