gym Who remembers the showers in gym class?

[Tanbbottom]

Ours were eight shower spigot in one open room. I was a skinny short nerd when I first had to use it in grade 9, and by grade 11 a tall skinnier nerd +. I hated using those showers and avoided them every time I could. Sneaking in and out of my gym gear in the change room was bad enough. It would take years for me to get excited to use a public shower with other guys. I'm now a fairly comfortable nudist.

Isn't it odd how some things in our youth we simply never forget?

I first ran into a shower-room in Junior High.  Swimming class was held completely naked.  No guy had a swimming suit.  And, of course, some guys "popped a boner", and that juvenile saying goes.  

Interestingly, the teacher (also the coach of the football team) had an office that opened onto the locker room - wherein the rows of lockers were available for his inspection, should he stand there and look.  More, he always stood there and looked - after slowly undressing completely right in front of the open door - looking into the locker room to see which guys were watching him.  He would just stand there - naked - nonchalantly watching all the guys getting naked.  Much later though, I found out that he had never married, lived with another man (this was in high school), and telling my mother about the new, fire-engine-red, '64 Olds convertible he'd just bought.  Of course, some guys got hard on's during swimming class, but I only recall one guy remarking about it (I never did like him).  Some guys were further along in their physical development, some guys less-so,  But, it was just something we dealt with.  

I don’t know how i missed this when you posted it. Where did you go to school that they had nude swimming? Now, it sounds very hot. But when I was in 7th grade, I felt a lot of shame in the showers because everyone else had much bigger cocks. (Maybe not everyone, but that’s how I remember it.) I don’t think I ever showered after PE class again.

The first time I visited a YMCA as a boy, was in Augusta, GA. The Y was male only and no swim suits or cut offs were allowed, everyone swam naked, was awesome.  It was there that I got my first up close look at a non-family member cock, while standing at urinal in men's room.  I recall seeing cocks swinging everywhere i looked that day, so hot!  I walked around with an erection. Wish I could say I got to taste some of that cock, or someone sucked mine, but didn't happen.  Remember that day vividly!!

I was in 8th grade and he was a senior. He was a red head with a huge fat cock. I am sure others stared too but for me I knew I wanted him in my pussy. I would see him with his girlfriend and I was so jealous of her. She was the luckiest girl I thought.

Growing up in CA it was law that we had to take showers in Jr/High Scools gym class.  I fuxking loved seeing dicks, asses and hot chests!  Would have loved to been gang banged in the showers!

Grew up in Rockford, Illinois.  Went away to undergrad, and never moved back.  Visited the parents somewhat regularly, all of that, but always left as soon as I thought it was appropriate.  There was a grand total of one gay bar* there, in the second-largest metro area (including burbs) after Chicago & burbs.  There were, of course, a number of "boners", and those guys got razzed like crazy, and I only remember one guy actually shitting in the pool.  He was a hero - his act of heroism got swimming class cancelled that day.  

Just a guess, but I think the naked swimming thing was just so the parents didn't have to go buy swim suits for their kids. Generally, back in Rockford, pennies got pinched to the point of Abe Lincoln getting ingrown whiskers ..... 

 

*in a rundown-stretch of State Street, no one ever used the front door, but would park in a lot behind all the stores-buildings and go in the back door of the dump.  Owned by a cop, which is why it managed to exist in the first place.  The really closeted guys parked a block further away, by 1st Svenska Lutersk Kyrka (1st Swedish Lutheran Church), as opposed to other Lutheran churches of other Synods.

I think there is more than one bar there now. I went to school there my freshman year to get my grade point up to transfer. I thought it was an ok town. Most guys were a little closeted but I had fun.

As I wrote earlier…. I was in Jr High in the late 60s -High School was early 70s … and in those days in Wisconsin boys swam nude (had since the 20s … was considered more hygienic)

anyway …. Around 8th grade we got pool at home so I spent my summer swimming …. So while not a great swimmer (certainly not swim team caliber) I was an ok swimmer which brings me to …..

most humiliating moment for me was in like 11th grade (maybe12th) the coach was trying to teach us the inverted breaststroke…. Not sure why …. But I was pretty good at it so the coach had us all get out of the pool (he has swim trunks on … we are all naked) … and he has me get on this table… in my back …. And demonstrate the stroke …

it was all really weird…fortunately I was still fairly clueless about my sexuality… so I did not pop a boner … actually the opposite… it was winter and the pool room was not exactly warm …. So most of our dicks were as small as they could be … rather adding to the humiliation…..

I would have loved it. I am sure I would have had “shrinkage” too but I wouldn’t have cared. Just seeing all of the other boys in their glory would have been great. I grew up in Wisconsin too but apparently they discontinued that practice by the time I got into swim class.

By the time I hit High school I was well trained by my uncle & dad so taking almost any cock was not a problem. In my high school there was a looker room with a large shower room and off to the side was a dingy store room that had extra chairs & gym equipment with access from the showers and locker room. I would often hang out there and the guys knew I would suck them off or they could take turns on my ass including the gym teacher and coach and as I wasn't very athletic, that's how I passed with "A's" I blew a few other teachers there too but I had a few favorites from the football team that loved their ass eaten or fingered while I was blowing them. The coach usually waited for the others to leave and his favorite was for me to sit on his face and eat my ass and the cum I had collected, he was such a sex pig for young cum.

The younger guys don’t realize that until the mid or late “70s, nude swimming was extremely common in gym classes and at YMCAs across the U.S.

 

Today, that would most likely get a gym coach and even principal fired immediately.

[BigDirtyBear]

We didn't have to shower in gym class....

 

But after football practice was way better anyway.. half the guys still wore jockstraps...  great man musk and balls and pits after practice and the showers and great views.  

 

[BlindRawFucker1]

My 14 year old nephew doesn’t have to shower after gym either.

 

I guess it is better to die from inhaling too much AXE spray.

 

I guess we don’t want to hurt anyone’s fragile ego, or make them the least bit uncomfortable.

 

Apparently, some school gym showers are now individual cubicals.

 

In my opinion, that’s ridiculous.

[SFCumdog]

I grew up in the country and went to a small school that was a combined junior and senior high school. When we had our intro to this new school they told us that we needed jockstraps for gym class. I had no idea what those even were, but as soon as I found out and put one on, I discovered they were the sexiest thing I could have ever imagined, and I've been turned on by them ever since. Needless to say they were often boner inducing.

Because we had a small school, there was no pool, so swimming was not part of the curriculum. But the showers after class I remember well. At first I was very nervous about this but when I finally realized that showering withy my classmates would give me the opportunity to see every single one of them in a fill 360 view that I had privately fantasized about, naked, I was ALL in. I didn't rush my showers, and in retrospect neither did a great many of them. I secretly think there were a few that rather enjoyed the adoration. I memorized every guy from top to bottom and all the way around, filling my spank bank to overflowing with images that If I close my eyes today I can still see clear as day. Those showers were definitely what opened the floodgates of sexual awareness for me. They also helped me to feel OK about myself and how I stacked up against others my age.

In the Midwest US of the 1970s, I mostly spent any time in the locker room with my eyes firmly trained forward. In junior high, showers were demanded, mostly so that the coaches could ogle us. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. They were among the MOST awful teachers I had. They were so obnoxious and nasty to the pupils, I heard a female coach complaining to the principal about them, answering his assertion that "some of the boys are difficult" (not ME of course) with "It's like a campaign to take it out on the kids." 

High school was better, since the units were elective and the coaches actually professional. I was a decent gymnast, a slightly better swimmer, and took modern dance class, much to my dad's dismay and a certain amount of comment from my fuckheaded peers. My favorite coaches were the gymnastics coach (a great, energetic, supportive woman), the tennis coach (a rumored lesbian who let me into her class even though I am the world's worst tennis player), the dance teacher who was open-minded enough to let me in the class and the golf coach who started class 10 minutes late and let us out 10 minutes early, leaving about 20-25 minutes of actual class. I was terrible at golf, too...
