How did you find phys ed or gym class in high school? Fun or traumatic?

Fun

One of the few classes I looked forward to besides math. It was a great opportunity to show off my athletic skills.

Back in your youth, would you have been nice / accepting of a kid like me with no abilities and chubby in gym class?

I was lucky, because I'd made it on to the swim team I got sent to do laps in the pool all the time.

It was neither fun nor traumatic.
I disliked most of it, but not to the point of hating it or anything.

Sure why not I had and I still have all kinds of friends all beautiful in their own different way

Loved phys ed. It was a chance to show off and be with other guys who also liked to show off their athletic skills and newly muscled-up bodies. Preferred skins to shirts for the same reason. Happy to strip down in the locker room and shower with other guys.

During swimming season, the team was excused from gym but I participated anyway, which earned me points with the coach, who was also the football coach and who professed to hate the swimmers and tennis players.

Not on of my favorite classes since I was not the athletic type. Best part the locker room to see fellow students change into their PE uniforms including there jockstraps. To see the change fellow lads from junior high to high school.

Interesting to see that I'm not the only one who was non-athletic, but liked seeing nudity in the locker room. Too bad PE couldn't have just been 55 minutes of a chance to view locker room nudity, with none of that tiresome running around a track, playing football, playing basketball, etc.

I remember the trauma of Seventh grade gym. We kids were fitted into skimpy gray cotton shorts and t-shirts, ran endless laps in the school gym, did pushups and sit ups, and in good weather ran outside. Then we were herded into the locker room and showers, a large room with shower heads on all four walls. There was no hiding, everyone was naked and everyone had to shower. It was like the swimming pool showers but instead of just summer this was all school year. I had reached puberty by Fourth grade and had a full crop of black pubes, plus leg and underarm hair. Literally only five of us had reached puberty and we kind of identified together. No kid on my street had body hair or pubes but they all wanted to get a good look at me naked. So the pointing and teasing by our pre-pubescent hairless fellow students started all over again. A dark-haired Italian kid named Tony tried to hide but once he was naked I heard all the whooping from his side of the locker room. Our gym teacher, a Mr. McKernan, watched and grinned as we naked boys headed in and out of the showers, looking for any bad behavior, or maybe just enjoying the sight of naked boys a little too much. He watched for pushing, wet towel-slapping, and something we called “goosing” (grabbing someone's balls and squeezing hard), and once made us all stand and watch as he spanked a boy laid across his knees.

^ So many boys subjected to this growing up. Too many Mr. McKernans.

Yes, and he could have been a secret pedo.

I should add, in my neighborhood my hairless friends twice tried to get me to play strip-dice games they held in the woods.

So eager to see me naked.

I've speculated that it could be unpleasant being one of the first to develop, because it would draw so much attention in the showers.

A 9th grade class used the locker room during the same period as my 7th grade. I wonder if that helped the better developed 7th graders avoid attention and teasing. I also have wondered if some 9th graders didn't enjoy showing off their developed bodies...

When I was in Eighth grade, our locker room was next to the Seventh grade lockers and showers. I noticed two friends who had just started growing pubes. Just a little hair on each side of their penises. But the two locker rooms and showers were separate so we did not mix. My guess, if I had asked them, they would be aware they were developing and would soon look like us Eighth graders. But to be completely hairless around us would be real trauma.

I disliked Physical Education classes. I was not good at sports; and I didn;t really know how to be a team member. Junior High was particularly tough; I was targeted by homophobic bullies. Later in High School I started to enjoy engaging in soccer games with my quieter class mates. I wish I had known what I know now. In that case, I might have tried out for wrestling or maybe even the football team.

For us in Junior High PE was all grades so in 7th grade you were playing sports and showering with the 9th graders. It was like seeing one of those "Your Changing Body" charts from health class in real life. PE was not traumatic - but as I was pretty uncoordinated at that age and not the best at most sports it was not my favorite.

What did your undressed body look like in 7th grade in the showers and was it embarrassing?

 

[Oldskool caged boi]

I hated it, though I was good at track and field. I certainly was not out, but suspected. I was also physically mature for my age, which did not help with bullies who had hardly started to sprout cock hair.

Same here, I was in puberty by fourth grade, but the hairless and undeveloped bullies somehow made me the freak, when they were the ones that were immature.

Gym was always a mixed bag for me. I was always a skinny twink boy all through school (now I'm an older skinny twink boy) and I hated being naked with all the other guys in the showers. BUT, I loved seeing all the other naked guys and would always run home from school and masturbate thinking about them.
