This was originally titled “Public Penis Pontifications.” But I decided to increase the scope.
At the gym where I workout, they have signs posted everywhere that you MUST have a towel to workout. Of course, they don’t seem to enforce this rule. I see people working out without a towel and leaving their sweat all over everything. Do they get asked to leave? Heck no.
Contrary to popular belief of those that actually do bring a towel, it’s not for you to pat your face when you’ve done 80 reps of 8 lbs while barely bending a joint. I’ve never understood that. I see people sit down at a leg extension machine, for example. They’ll do at least 50 repetitions and barely move their legs; maybe like 10 degrees of total movement. I suppose it’s better than nothing, but it’s annoying when I’m waiting for a machine and the dude is endlessly barely squeaking his knees.
Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, contrary to popular belief, the towel is not for you, it’s to WIPE YOUR BODY DRIPPINGS OFF THE MACHINE. Really, I’m serious. I’ll see people heave their sweaty wet bodies all over a machine, making sweet sweet aerobic or weight lifting love to it and then take their towel, mop their forehead and walk away.
Oh HELL NO.
Wipe that bitch down! I don’t want to sit on, lay in or even touch your body juice. I understand we’re all sweating and working hard but please please don’t make me clean up after your overactive oily glands.
Now, after you’re done working out, you head to the locker room. Let’s talk about locker room philosophy and etiquette for a bit.
So it’s time to shower. Now I think most men would rather not walk around naked while exposing their downtown bonanza to the rest of the men in the room. But. You have to do it. ‘Cause if you don’t, then you’re ashamed or insecure or not confident or something. And you’re NOT A MAN. So all the guys walk around with their business dangling all hairy and lopsided.
I know. Eww.
From talking to M, I think women are the opposite, it’s not a big deal to be nude in front of each other but nobody does it in the women’s locker room. You know, probably out of respect for one another or maybe not to be rude. Sorry guys, there ain’t no free and clear boobies or possible spontaneous lezbo action going on in the women’s locker room.
So, the guys are all walking around, making everybody uncomfortable (eyes up!). The worst is when one guy is sitting on the bench tying a shoe or something and another guy, who is completely naked, is standing next to him with one foot propped up on the bench like he’s modeling sport coats in the Sears catalogue, talking to him or telling a joke. “God Man! Really?! Could you please get your swinging, hairy BALLS out of my face ’cause I’m trying real hard not to look but I’m about to be hypnotized by their rhythmic pendulum motion. I actually wish you were fatter so that your gut covered up your old, wrinkled genitials.”
Anyway, I avoid the locker room and shower at home when I can but sometimes walking around a room naked with a bunch of other naked guys is what I do on my lunch hour. Wow, I hope THAT gets quoted out of context.
As one who has just started the whole gym-workout thing, all I have to say is… AMEN, BROTHER! Wipe the stuff down and keep yourself covered in the locker room!
Funny stuff. Actually though, about your ten degrees of legflammation, uhh they say intensity is more effective than repetition… so like… if you go slow it’s more effective than going for a long time. And I had always heard itty bitty stomach crunches were better than full situps, so why not get that intense burn from 10 degrees of movement? Ok way out of context. nevermind.
Your Top Gun picture is great!
Yes, I do tend to find that most women (in the south anyway) tend to be more modest in the locker room. I think it is mainly so other women aren’t judging them, though.
Topless is not uncommon for brief moments, but not the whole naked strip down. Of course, we aren’t standing around talking to each other topless! Some college coeds that know they look hot are little more likely to sit around with very little clothing on while chatting away. Gosh…I am so far from a hot coed now. I need to go be that embarassing huge pregnant lady standing around naked. Talk about uncomfortable.
You have serious repressed anger issues. I never look at other naked guys, so it never bothers me. And even if I did, so what. It’s nature. It’s the way things are. So if you don’t like hanging balls (I THINK YOU’RE REALLY A REPRESSED LATENT HOMOSEXUAL WHO HATES HIS GAY SEXUAL DESIRES), stair at the ceiling, take a vallium, go see a psychologist, or grow up and chill. Jeez.
Wow I Get very good news from these articles, and the University conduct variant different courses
