Methinks he doth protest to much???

Man rule, yes, I apply it when ever possible. When I gotta go pizzle and the only open urinal is smack dab in between, ima make water!

If someone "Breaks " the man rule while I am conducting business, I generally try to make them uncomfortable as well. Generally the comment "hey man nice watch" works fine.

Good one!

When junk is out, every one look straight ahead, keep your mouth shut, and keep your hands to yourself.

So from this thread I bet some of you weren't to fond of the communal showers after gym class?

You are most likely right. We had people on the football team that were terrified of taking a shower in the locker room. The vulgar talk and jokes probably didn't help.

Anyone "fond" of communal showers with a bunch of guys is a little suspect in my opinion. I do take an occasional shower at the gym, but I am not fond of doing so. I do not dilly nor dally while there...

Didn't bother me a bit. But, let me ask you this.

Suppose you're the only on in the shower and there's 20 shower heads all spread out. In comes another person whom you don't know. Would you expect him to use a showerhead a good distance away from you or would you be ok if he showered right next to you? And there''s no curtains or dividers, just open showers.

Iv seen and heard some pretty horrific stuff in communal showers all of which happens here when at training. Get a group of young wond up guys sleep deprived and hopped up on redbull and monsters and your bound to see sone crazy ****. I try to stay out when I know certain people are in there for there "man-a-thon" it's just not right makes me question them but they all have gf or wives but if u ask me there batting for the other team u would think. Then there's the perves with cell phones in baggies or water proof phones spreadin baby gravy down the drain. It's just disgusting I don't mind the communal shower if every ones mature and obides the man rule in the shower but if there's private showers that's where I head cuz I can take my sweet ole time letting the water hit the skin relaxing muscles with out worrying about some one scaring my retnas.

LMAO @ this entire topic.......

90% of you sound a little insecure about yourselves.

I don't believe it's insecurity. It's just you other 10% have ulterior motives.

And of that 10% home many of us are just doing it too get a good laugh at the 90%?

I honestly don't see the big deal. Unless there is a person with an extreme case of social anxiety disorder, I don't understand the problem urinating next to someone; Man has been doing it for a very long time.

Ahhh yes, the communal showers after gym, or basketball practice. There's just something manly about the smell of a locker room, nostalgically (is that a word?) speaking.

I can still picture my first entry into a locker room in seventh grade. Junior high and high school were in the same building. There was a room, not unlike those lockers found at train stations, before entering the locker room proper. Small baskets for sneakers and jock straps were lockable in recesses along the walls and in rows in the middle of the room. What an aroma from the sweaty jocks and sneaks as they sat there drying after gym.

Initially, the communal showers were awkward and/or embarrassing. But after a while everyone seemed to get "comfortable with their skin", to borrow an oft used phrase. After basketball practice, a handful of us used to sing in the showers. Could be barbershop type singing, or just singing popular songs. In my younger days I hated using public toilets. Nowadays, if ya gotta go, ya gotta go.

I think some of you may have misunderstood my point. This topic isn't about having stage fright or affraid of exposing yourself in front of someone. I would like to know why would you choose to go into a restroom and stand incehes from a total stranger to take a leak when there are other vacant stalls available. It isn't a matter of me not being comfortable with my sexual orientation, It's more of a question as to what is you're motive for choosing to stand elbow to elbow while taking a leak when you could have chosen the next stall.

Yeah, I can't imagine where somebody could take your point wrong.

You pinch it off in midstream, run off at mach 10 (assuming to a private bush close by), and finish off with the quote; "Perhaps I'm being a bit over ___phobic"

But then again, I'm clueless when it comes to trying to figure out why anyone goes into the men's room.

OK, so the bathroom has 10 urinals but has no one in it, I walk in and walk all the way down to the tenth one, Someone else walks in and walks all the way down to the one next to me to go pee. I don't see how anyone would not find this uncomfortable...

Maybe a huge fart would teach them a lesson.

There is an easy cure for this.

The next time you have to enter one of these dens of depravity, go to one of the stalls, sit down, and as you are doing your thing, softly hum "somewhere over the rainbow" while tapping your toe to the music.

If there is anyone still in there when you come out of the stall, then you can start to worry!

sometimes I'll belly up right next to a guy in an empty bathroom and start singing show tunes, just to amuse myself........

"I get no kicks from champagne" :Idontknow: LMAO!!!!!!!!

LMAO..That locker room smell..

That me!

That me!

It's funny you mention this. I've developed social anxiety over the years, sometimes pretty severe, but I always seem to be OK in the bathroom. Go figure.

I cannot go to clubs with girls or concerts or crowded bars unless I'm liquored up. If I go there sober I get little anixety. And if I'm in a room full of strangers for socializing I get anxiety too and just kind of keep to myself in back of the room. ha. Ah well. Bathrooms aren't that bad I just feel uncomfortable when people standing next to me or if I think they're starring at me, it just makes me seize up every time. May be too much info, but one time I was at a restaurant, and went into the bathroom and people were standing around waiting for for a toilet to open up and I couldn't go with the crowd behind me, so I said screw it and walked out and waited later to go.. It sucks.

Just relax. Life's waaaaay too short to let trivial things get to you. You're missing out.

I wonder if women have the same problems us men have in the bathroom?

The only problem they have is waiting in long lines to tinkle.
