RE:Bringing back the obligatory nudity for men

They were different, innocent times, when people were practical and straightforward. Such a shame that society has become more repressed over the years since then.

RE:Bringing back the obligatory nudity for men

Well think about it. The olympics.were held and all the participants were nude. Except for sandals !Then we had the YMCA, that men were required to be nude in the pool. Women were not allowed in that facility. They had the YWCA, not sure what they were required to wear. But we had to have more equity between sexs. They had to know what was going on in a mens only club. Remember the movies showing them going into those places and hearing. Madam there has never been a woman in here in a hundred years !I guess rugby was played nude. Made more sense clothes were ripped off or used to hold the opponent. From running. I am not sure about wrestling ?Now we have the gay spas for men to be together to work out. Plus theres saunas and hot tubs !

There was a rugby team that played nude in New Zealand a few years ago, but it seems to have disbanded.

Quite a few people on this board have noted that their pool and or hot tub is nude mandatory.
One is assembling a home gym that he is willing to let others use, with the stipuation that they must be nude.
While he is not saying that it is for men only, he doesn't expect to get any interest from women.

If only. But it's just not going to happen. The feminists have taken over and all male and masculine preserves and traditions must be destroyed.

Just a random question. Is it incorrect to hope for a similar authoritative obligation for men to be naked in the gym/pools? A gender separated one, but with no exceptions. Just like it was back then. Males have to swim and workout naked. That would create so much body positivity and would be a huge bonding experience. As "against the free-will" as it might sound, over-time it could be as simple and common as "don't flush the baby wipes in the toilet", or "no using the treadmil with sandals or flip-flops". For outdoor activities and gender-combined activities, it can still be as it is. But for all the sports centers, schools and universities, national team practice clubs, etc., men will HAVE to be naked. No exemption.

No, that's not incorrect. It should be exactly as you describe. Men should be required to be naked in gyms and pools, without exception. Separate from the opposite sex. Only when men are among themselves can they be naked uninhibitedly. This would indeed contribute to a better body awareness. That is why the obligation to be naked would also be important.
Men of all ages need to experience bonding, naked.

You are absolutely right. Whether in sports centres, schools, universities or other facilities, men have to be naked. Without exception. Men have to be naked in as many places as possible. Mandatory in places where he is alone with other men of all ages.

This is true. My grandfather was the custodian for our YMCA and before it became co-ed, men were in the wet areas naked all the time. it was expected. There were also 7 rooms in the lower level which were rented out. I know for a fact some of them would come in, strip, work out, swim, shower and even at times play basketball or volleyball nude and go to their room and only dress to leave the next morning. Late evening, my grandfather would often clean naked.

I have read of similar facilities where men did all of the above nude, plus gymnastics, indoor track, wrestling, etc.

Back when I went to school5th grade we had all boy swim class and and no suites but had a woman swim teacher , I remember going home and telling my mother we swam and no suites she didn't think anything of it . 6th grade was mixed we wore suites

Every kind of exercise or swimming should be practise only nude. Clothes at gyms or swim suits at pool should be forbidden. No exceptions.

I remember having to take swim classes in school naked. The first time it was traumatic. After a while it was routine not that we had a choice. My parents thought it was odd but since the school district required it they werent going to argue. They had some lame excuse that boys swim suits would clog the filters, Why wouldnt the girls? Never made any sense to me. Now the worst partat least when you are a boy in schoolis having to compete naked in front of your parents, mom included, and other visitors to the competition. We did this twice a year. The girls staring and giggling at us as we walked out. So humiliating. But supposedly it taught us to man up! And somewhere there are pictures because parents took pictures of the competitions. My mom had a few and I was furious that she would pull them out when we had visitors and show them to my aunts, uncles and cousins. She was proud I won a few minor awards. One day I went into the credenza and took the pictures and threw them out. When she found out she was mad, and I was grounded for two weeks.

That is right. Should be segregated everywhere in Nudism and nudity should be be everywhere mandatory. No one need speedos or clothes at pools, gyms and so.
