Seniors Under Attack (In the locker room)
Older Men Under Attack in Locker Rooms There's a new trendon Youtube. Making fun of old naked men in the locker-room.Some day I'm going to make a video blog and salute to the older generation showing what they got.When I was 18, I could finally use the adult men's locker-room in the local Y.M.C.A.. I had a routine. I changed in the locker-room, then I took a shower (naked of course) , swam some laps in the pool, used the showers again and headed back to my locker. As I was changing, an old man was standing next to me.
He was totally naked, like myself. He was over weight, had a one inch penis and was covered with white hair. He was obviously in his 70s. He began asking me questions, like where I was from, and how often I come to the Y.M.C.A.. We had a normal nonsexual conversation. Of course I saw him checking out my package while talking, but that didn't bother me, because I was doing the same. After I was fully dressed and so was he, he said something that I will never forget. He said," You are a credit to you peers." I said thank you, with-out knowing what he meant and I never saw the man again.I was taught to respect my elders and listen when they have something to say. I'm thankful that God gave me a father who taught me well, for because of this I've gain wisdom from the older men that I have met and listened to. Today, when you go into the locker rooms, the younger generation is afraid to walk around naked because of fear how people will judge them, or they think it's so-called gay.Many young guyswhowill walk around nakeddo itbecause they have the modern world's view of a perfect body or theythink theyare gay and trying to attract another guy.How-ever, whenthey see an older man past his prime, they complain because he might not have the perfect body or it is sexual harassment to even be naked.These older men will not stand up and defend themselves if these younger guys complain in their face (there will be a time that this will happen). Their wisdom keeps them silent, as if they are saying, you'll learn, young man. It's actually funny. My generation and younger who are so selfish and foolish in our thinking and stubborn in our views, makes the older generation quite modest. How Ironic.I encourage you to support the next older man who stands around naked in the locker-room.Walk up to him naked, and have a normal conversation. He is a veteran of the our past and is still fighting a cultural war. Better Yet!! We need to create youtube videos in support for these men. We should title our videos, "Naked Old Men in Locker Rooms" and give our view of the subject. It would be cool to see if the media catches on this trend.
Josiah, I'm twenty years your senior, but the trend started before your birth. It seemed that one day in the mid 70"s it became unfashionable to be seen naked. Guys stopped showering after gym class. Underwear were never removed. Some even trebled at being skins. And, this was an all male school. There were still a number of us that moved to the back of the locker room and still sstripped and showered the same. Most of us were involved is sports of some sort. I was open about being naked in front of others and was occasionally sneered at or call "fag" or "queer." I let it pass, mostly. I'm glad to hear you talk such of the older generation. I too look up to them. I only wish that the puritanical views hadn't erupted on my generation's watch, and for that I'm sorry. Maybe we could have done more. Stay naked.

Thank you so much for this post. All of us males no matter the age should feel a bond when in the locker room. Some young guys think that the older guys only started being nude in the locker room some time after they turned 50. That is so not true. I am 49 and started being nude in my mid 20's. I know most guys older than me have always been nude in the locker room and had to all shower together in an open shower. I only started using an open shower in my mid 20's because I knew being shy, scared and embarrassed was not good. I knew I need to get over it (and be a real male) and shower in the open showers. I did not go into the military so I know they did that and I needed to learn to do the same. The gym still has open showers but much fewer guys shower naked in them now compared to 30 years ago. Hope the younger generation learns soon that this is a good thing to learn for themselves before they get old.

Hey guys, I'm glad to read that, I concur in the gym locker room with many mature men, and many young guys, and never see a bad look or a hint of rediculizar anyone, which makes me happy, and if I like browse, always nice to see what's for life and each has its own, is one more way to learn about life and feel agusto himself.
It's nice to see grown men naked, all things, all we'll get there someday and spend twenty years and everything will change.
a greeting
