Doing the Nude-tron Dance

So, last week I showered naked at the gym. In front of people.

Yeep! I did! It's taken me a full five days to write about it!

Despite my affinity for getting naked in general and in front of friends, in particular, this is the first time I have deliberately gone sans clothes in a public setting. God save my soul, but I think it was overdue. Just sayin'.

I took a nice long sauna, followed by a mellow shower and, okay, maybe I got a little shy drying off (because no one looks hot with a towel drying all of their lady bits), but gosh dernnit, I showed my bare breasts to women who didn't know me and whom I had no desire (what-so-ever) to make out with.

That's huge.

Kind of like my boobs.

Except not really. Now that I've lost a few pounds. Which has been all in my boobs. Not fair.

In the Comments section, tell me about the last time you got naked in public or the what's unfair in your life.

    I hate my gym locker room. There's all these creepy asian dudes in there who are never in the actual gym part, always all naked as they brush their teeth or have conversations 2 inches from each others' faces about whether Lindsay Lohan is the new Britny Spears.

    Why can't they just say no to showing me their wrinkled nutsacks and hairy assholes?

    At the gym here there was a guy that would shower and walk around the locker room for 45 minutes. Seriously. We started changing at work before we went over there just to avoid him.

    ^^ and naked teethbrushing? That's just wrong. On all levels.

    I went skinny-dipping at my friend's pool this summer. Does that count?

    Je refuse to get naked in public. I just don't do it.

    What's unfair: No matter how much weight I lose, my boobs never seem to get the memo. I know that sounds great in theory, but in terms of finding clothing that fits, it's actually a total pain.

    I get naked in front of other women every time I go to the gym. The standard of behavior in our gym is basically like this: once you are in the locker room, hang out with no clothes on for hours if you want. Some girls sit in the sauna for half an hour buck naked and then hang out in the whirlpool for another half hour totally naked and then stand around applying make up totally naked. No one cares. There are women as old as 80 standing around naked talking to naked 18 year olds about where to get the best manicure. No one looks at each other's stuff and no one cares. So when I shower after whatever I just did, I am seen naked by at least 10 people and chances are one or more of them will try engage in pointless naked conversation with me. When I first joined this gym, I thought it was weird. Now it's just normal.

    PS, the naked women over 60 give excellent relatiosnhip advice, often without solicitation.

    Did I ever tell you about the time I saw a naked guy digging up a city tree with his bare hands? That was naked in public. Of course, it wasn't me who is naked in public. Though when I called 911 to report this, they kept asking me if I was the person in distress, so I may sound like someone who gets naked and digs up trees.

    Also, yeah: It is not sex-ay to be vigorously drying your bush with a gym towel in public.

    Also,Mister Underhill: exactly HOW CLOSE are you getting to these men?!

    I don't go to a gym for this precise reason: I'm still scarred by the memories of old men at the YMCA lounging about in the buff. Some things are too wrinkly to not be hidden in shame.

    Okay, also because I'm lazy and hate working out and have never been to a gym and I don't want to break my streak.
