Please chime in on the proper or improper eye contact while in a straight mail locker room. Do you look at the floor, off in the distance, or just not at all while other naked guy are passing and possibly holding conversations about sports, current events and/or family.
 
Great response. I guess I wanted to ensure that I don't insult anyone. So I wanted to know what other guys thought. No one is ogling. I like hanging with the masculine fellas. Camp has it's place, but not alway. There are some guys that definitely get all errie around other naked men. One can see it in their body language and their urgency to undress, wrap towel, shower and redress. I don't want to be the one to make anyone uncomfortable and I want to hang with the guy without them feeling uncomfortable.
 
Unless it's a gay bathhouse, I didn't know locker rooms were labeled straight or gay. It's a MEN'S locker room and I would guess that one conduct oneself accordingly.
 
Since you're asking about where to look basically... Simple rule of thumb: keep your eyes above the waist if you are looking in the direction of other guys. Doesn't matter if you're talking to them or just passing by or whatever in that regard. Obviously, if you're doing something that requires you to look down or around then you do it. Specifically referring to whatever brings your eyes towards another dude in the locker. Worst case scenario, if you ARE ogling someone, and they catch you, at least you aren't looking at their crotch.
 
Great response Bama. In the gym I attend, most of the guys a really into fitness. So the Friday conversations usually lead toward encouraging each other to stay away from the creams, sauces, and fried and fatty foods. Of course, if it's a food cheat day, don't binge.
 
Since most of us are regulars, from time to time we compliment each other on progress, muscle growth, and technique.
 
Oh and for clarity, while on the gym floor, everyone is in their workout zone with their ear buds. It's only when we enter the locker room do we actually begin communicate verbally. Plus I can see that some purposefully look down and some have no shame at all. Long and short, I like your worst case scenario.
 
Yeah, when I use to regular the gym, I have found there are some who will talk to you while you're showering and have no modesty (for you or themselves). Then there are others who will not take it well to find someone glancing even briefly their way in the locker room. So, that's the rule of thumb I was always told to apply. You can adjust based on who you're dealing with of course, but it's a fairly safe bet this way, whether they're gay or straight. But, if youre having a conversation in the locker room, its difficult not to see something. But its fairly easy not to be blatantly analyzing their physique too :P
 
You understand me clearly. You're definitely on point with my thoughts. I could not have stated it any better. I find the ones that are less modest are the ones that have reached their goals of low body fat with increased definition.
 
some guys care and some don't care. the ones that talk to you naked don't care. the ones that look afraid and keep their towels on to the exact last moment care. some don't even change in the locker room. respect each person individually. IMO if they are walking around showing off, they want to be looked at (i.e. flexing in a full length mirror naked) and no one is going to get pissed if you glance at anyone who does that. We don't have the double standard that women carry of wearing something revealing and expecting people NOT to notice. :)
 
No eye contact in the showers unless you know the person. Conversations with guys you don't know are very rare but they do sometimes happen; in that case eye contact is of course necessary. Recently I showered next to a real hot guy (about 20) and following straight boy rules we completely ignored each other even though we were standing outside the dividers and were about two feet from each other; a few minutes later we were in the dry off area and I noticed he had a nipple ring and feeling confident I asked him about it. He was very friendly and we had a nice conversation. (Long cut cock, by the way).

Some guys seem very into themselves and I would never say anything to them. You can sort of tell.

Cock watching is easy if you take very brief glances. A good trick is lowering your head and eyes when you anticipate a good looking dude is about to pass by; that way you get a good look without even moving.

Straight guys are aware that in a public shower a certain amount of peeking will go on. Most of them probably like it as long as it isn't too blatant. Straight guys like to peek in the dry off area as they think the other guy is preoccupied.
 
I didn't know you could get Straight locker rooms, just throwing that one out there...
 
If you use a laser level and a survey tripod you can get them pretty straight.
 
Like your responses Moniker and Spencer. Most of the time I appear to be really into my ipod and workout and don't really look aware until I've removed my ear buds before showering. It's nice to have feedback from uninhibited men. I will be posting other topics later. A nice way to get my guy chat on.
 
I agree with keeping your eye contact above waist level and I usually just focus on eyes and shoulders. Sometimes it is too tempting. There is one guy I got caught looking at and it was pretty embarassing.
 
Oh yes! This is something that's troubling me as well. I've just joined this health club and this is definately something that's been on my mind...how will I be able to deal with so many hot dudes passing by without looking. Knowing myself, I know I won't be able to resist many times but there are always ways to take a peek without being noticed...glances are doable. Staring, however, would be just blatant.
 
Oh well .. I don't do the gymn, but I have been to enough sports clubs etc to play a game of volleyball or badminton with friends. Or just the showers at the pool.
And guess what? I always took a look :)
Just try to be discrete and self-conscious :)
 
Look, but pretend not to. That's my rule. I mean if people don't want others to check them out, why walk around shirtless, etc? Esp. if you're in public.
