r/CommunalShowers

I went to King Spa in VA over the weekend and it was honestly so relaxing. But, one thing I noticed while I was there is that out of the ten or so guys in the wet area maybe 8 of them were both shaved smooth and uncut. Meanwhile there I am, definitely not shaved and obviously cut. I definitely felt like the odd guy out and it made me hyper-aware and insecure of my body. Didn’t help that I was also among the smallest there.
Has something like this ever happened to you? How did you work through the insecurity?

I pee when Im alone in the shower, but Im shy about doing it when others are too. I've never seen other people doing it.

Do you think having a good gym physique, good genetics, and being well-endowed helps you feel more confident using communal showers? Or have you ever felt uncomfortable using them despite having those physical attributes?

Planing to visit mandalay Bay spa next week what is the best day to go? I’m trying to visit on a Thursday or a Friday. When can I expect it to be very busy or is there a specific day in future that it would get busy?

Everyone knows the stereotype of football players giving each other a slap on the ass. To congratulate or encourage them. I assume it's simply because theirs is a contact sport so they are more used to touching each other than my team was because it was a swim team.

One thing we did do was celebrate in the shower. So we jumped around and cheered. So I wonder if the wrestling or football team slap asses in those moments. Curious to hear from guys in those teams if they saw that.

I was about to go shower after the gym and a guy right next to the lockers opened his shower curtain and stood there naked. His glasses were on the bench next to me and I don’t think he could see that clearly. When he noticed I was standing at my locker and could see him next he goes, “whoops! I’m sorry!” I was like “for what man?” And he didn’t know what to say but looked embarassed. He was a younger guy. I said “it’s all good man, I’m about to get a shower too.” He kind of just nodded and grabbed his stuff as I went to grab my shower. It made me wonder, was he apologizing for being nude in the locker room? It was Al’s most like he felt bad for being naked. I really wish people didn’t feel that way and used the shower comfortably.

It’s a dang shame. The only other time I’ve even seen someone in the locker room was when there was a period of time where one dorm building’s showers didn’t work and they had to use the (communal) showers in the gym. I was showering and a guy waited for me to finish to shower. Completely his prerogative it’s whatever, just lame situation overall lol
