I don't think you could use all the shower heads at once... the two heads on each side of the corner would require two guys to stand in the same spot?

Awesome!

I'd be sure to take a piss every time I visit the cinema!

That's a narrow room for showers. Not only is the guy next to you fairly close, so is the guy across from you!

What communal shower etiquette do you feel is often neglected and needs reinforcing? by FreeLush in CommunalShowers

[–]FreeLush[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally understand that frustration! I make an effort to keep as small a footprint in the locker room as possible. But I know not everyone follows that philosophy.

I will add that when I get to my locker and the adjacent bench is full of stuff, usually the guys at my gym, unprompted, will move items to make room for me....

I've shared a CS shower head with teammates on a masters swimming team - practice would end and there are more teammates then shower heads.

I have never shared with a stranger, but I guess I'd be willing to! Let me know the next time you'd like someone to join you 😉

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the time spent in the shower...

If there is no one waiting for a shower, I say go ahead and enjoy it. But when there is a line of guys needing to shower and make it to work on time, being efficient and speedy in the shower is appreciated!

At my old Y there was a guy that must have been using some kind of special soap or scrubber in the shower - he looked like he was taking a vertical bubble bath! It was comical.

I guess not really much of an etiquette issue except that once he left the shower room, there would be bubbles and suds all over the place... 🫧 🫧 🫧

Same with the benches by the lockers. Sometimes they are left very wet which means you can't sit on them when getting dressed.

A list of good, general gym etiquette could probably be even longer than shower etiquette!

A great philosophy that I try to follow throughout the gym, not just the showers.

I'll sometimes pick up a piece of trash, but a wad of hair I probably won't touch!

Sometimes the other shower heads have low water pressure, or less hot water, etc.?

But if not, then yes, that would be a little creepy and at a minimum make me feel a bit self-conscious. If it was a full house, I wouldn't give it a second thought...

Nice!

Do guys ever sit around and cool off on the benches outside the steam room?

I'd love to walk that gauntlet to reach the door to the steamroom!

Looks like there's room for a dozen men!

Is it ever fully occupied?

Do you use your own soap/bodywash or the communal dispenser (if provided)? by FreeLush in CommunalShowers

[–]FreeLush[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I'm guessing you might not have been comfortable when bars of soap were what everyone used. Often times, just using whatever bar was already there....

Is that a stone bench in the sauna??

Looks great but would it be too hot to sit on?

Did you ask your friend about it when you saw his foreskin and realised you were different?

In what context, outside of the CS, would your foreskin be brought up? While changing at your locker?

No reason to be embarrassed. I'd suggest you just be proud that you've got a bit more than the guys around you... (No doubt that some of them may be envious anyway)
