Gym showers

“Open" showers, like the freedom of nudity itself, are not so much sexual as sensual; it's a simple pleasure to walk, rather than take one step, into a warm, and wet environment with absolutely nothing clnging to your body, or to to strip off your swim gear under a hot shower, and to have the freedom to stetch or bend without bumping into a wall.

My junior high and high school both had open showers. This was around 1972-1978. The 7th grade was my first experience with the mandatory showers and thankfully I had started puberty in the 6th grade. I quickly realize that my genital size and body hair distribution was much more developed than my peers. I took this all in as a badge of honor!

When I school, showers were not mandatory, so not used. Now that I'm older (30s) I've recently started going to the gym / pool and found how much I enjoy the showers. Our local YMCA is not big on modesty, so we have an open locker room (just lockers, benches, and plenty of mirrors) and communal shower room (with a couple stalls with only dividers) and an entryway with hooks. Missing out on the early years, I'm adapting to the public nudity. I cover as least as possible and make sure to shower thoroughly. I've always known I'm small, but the group showers are verifying this. However, the variety of penis size (me on the small end of the spectrum) makes this somehow more enjoyable.

My wife and I have been making a point to go swimming regularly. Her friend and husband are members as well, and should be joining us sometime soon. I'm hoping her husband is open as I am about the locker room and joins me in the showers, preferably the fully open area. I've never showered with another male that I actually know. I'm hoping to see how we match up look forward to being on full display for someone that I know and will interact outside of the gym.
