View Full Version : gym showers and is this odd to you too?

Showers in some gym facilities are just walls of nozzles and you stand under one and scrub up.
But in my gym and most gyms that I've used in the U.S., women have individual shower stalls. The shower stall has three walls and the opening is covered with a plastic curtain.
For the last six weeks at my gym, two shower stalls have been broken. And in the last couple of weeks, my gym has added a group power-lifting class and it lets out at 7am. Because so many other things end then, the showers are crowded.
So today marks the third day in a row where women have been doubling up in the showers.
Like there are two women in one tiny stall and they swap on/off to rinse.
Sometimes they stand under the water together.
It feels that close to becoming something else.
Like I should maybe be watching it in slow motion.
Guys would never do this, yes? God, guys can't even pee standing next to each other.

i could take a wizz next to another guy, but not shower!
that sounds like a really shoddy system your gym's got going on.
the showers at the gym i go to have been fully functional every time i've been.
isn't there some sort of violation of the rules going on there?

isn't there some sort of violation of the rules going on there?I've wondered about that as well.
A few of us have sort of made eyes back and forth like "WTF is this?" but as far as I know, no one has said anything officially.

Well, but actually, like for sports and stuff growing up, I know that the guy's locker rooms basically consist of a bunch of guys walking around naked in front of one another...the stalls generally didn't have walls or curtains seperateing them. However, and I know this from my brothers...there's an unspoken rule as far as how close you stand to another guy and you don't look anywhere else...strictly eye contact only. If you break this rule...you get the shit beat out of you.

It's not that big of deal, but I don't think you would see two guys under same shower head unless the were playing in marsdaddy's basketball league.It sounds as though women look at each other much more freely in the lockerroom than men do. At least according to what I've heard from my male friends. When women look, I think they're comparing this to that.
I try to keep my eyes down, especially in the showers and particularly right now.

Girls are generally different though...they'll be checking each other out. I don't mean in a lesbian way...they're compareing their bodies to the other women's. Like, wondering who has the nicest body...stuff like that. And actually that's probably one of the reasons why women seem to have a thing about privacy as far as nudity is concerned...they know there's a little competition thing going on. Now, I'm not saying all women are like that, but I know a lot that are...heck, I admitt it, I do it sometimes.

Funny, you beat me to the post...that's exactly what I was saying too.
I LOVE THIS CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen anyone in the shower at my gym
Ive never even really seen anyone go in to use the bathroom there either oddly enough
its quite a "go in and get the fuck out" type joint
Luckily I just run over and pay a visit to my parents house that live half a block away, so I shower there and then jet off to work

shit sons, my parents love my company
even when Im blatently using their abode and utilties for my own purposes
Im usually fed and offered napping quarters everytime I visit too
its ridiculous really
communial showers suck hard at first, but then you get used to them to the point where you don't care anymore. still, there's an absolutely no touching, or bumping into each other rule strictly enforced, punishable by death (but more likely, getting beat the fuck up).

Maybe I'm in that 'comparing this to that' category, I dunno. I just like having a look around at the other nekkid ladies. Like "Oh she's got cute nipples. Ooh that one, that's not a very good boob job. Hey, a lot of chicks here are rockin the landing strip. Oh my, that tattoo, that was maybe not such a good idea." Just sort of a stream of consciousness observational thing, no big deal.

The showers at the gym on my base base are all individual stalls. It's like a door, then a little place to sit and a place to hang up towels or clothes etc... then there is a shower. It's probably the nicest set up I've ever seen in the military or maybe any gym.
I think they tried to go a little too high tech with it though, the water is controlled by some motion sensor crap and apparently the only thing it senses is when you have soap in your eyes... then it turns off. Ain't that about a B_____?!?!?!?
Other than that, it's pretty cool. (y)

Other than that, it's pretty cool. (y)When I was in Zurich, I used a gym and the showers there did that as well. I had to reactivate the water every 30 seconds or so. Made it a little hard to kind of get lost in there under the water. Which was probably the intent.
oh, i forgot to mention that the whole women sharing one shower head will probably fuel my imagination for the next couple days. much thanks.

I'm glad I waited to post this, then. The first day it happened, I was like "this is odd" and the second day, I was sort of amused. But the third day, today, I was like "dammit, I'm posting about this on the boards."
