School Showers

[TexasBoy]

So this past week, my school had us sign up for classes. I signed up to take soccer next year, but soccer is a 3rd period sport, not 7th. Therefore, it will likely require showering at school. What is proper shower "etiquette"? I'm 15, and the most exposed I've ever been in a lockeroom is shirtless or pantless, but never simultaneously. I'm also pretty pale and skinny, so I'm rather insecure about being naked with a bunch of hardcore athletes. (The showers are communal, rather than in cubicles.)

[JollyToes]

Gotta act confident, even if you actually aren't. Trust me, even "hardcore" athletes are nervous.

[Brown13]

My thing was just to not even think about them. As far as etiquette goes i have no clue but thinking more about yourself and what yoy want to accomplish should keep you focused on you and not what everyone else thinks

[john.doe1111]

Nah mate you'll be fine

[ShoeHead]

haha i didnt even shower i like drowned myself in axe but that was a mistake you shld just shower man i dont think anyone wil care

[AlexOnToast]

Just pretend like you have clothes on and theres nothing out of the ordinary happening and it's all fine :) It's only awkward if you make it that way

Yes all that and if someone says something ignore them or tell them to shut up

[sdude]

just enjoy, it's a good time to compare...your skinny bod vs someones fat one..who cares!! it's just part of being a guy and showing what u got...no biggee man, enjoy what you got and be proud...

[Liam TWB]

Just go ahead, enjoy your sport and walk proudly in and out of shower like everyone else. Guys will really only notice you if you act like you're freaked out by getting naked. Hardcore athletes are all different sizes when they're naked, believe me! I shower with my team a lot, and you get used to it very quickly. Just focus on the main thing - the game.

[Zachary G]

Communal shower etiquette is to wrap your towel around your waist, keep your eyes forward at all times, take your shower, and get back to your locker. Thats how it was at my school the first time I had to take a communal shower. Youll be just fine, just try not to dwell on it and just get it done. Its not going to be as bad as you think it will be.;)

Don´t worry, everybody will be naked so is not a matter. Only ignore the other kids. If you have a boner take a sit till it goes.

[Shadow08200]

I wouldn't worry about it. It can be really scary at first, but eventually, you'll get used to it, as will everyone else. I'm pretty sure most of the tougher guys are nervous as well.

[MortimerB]

In Denmark you get rather used to seeing your buddies naked and it's nothing special really. Some are just born with different genes - for body, tan, genitals and more. Nothing to worry about. Just relax and try to get your mind of it. It will feel easier that way.
Best of luck.

[pjones]

concentrate on yourself, and walk covered with a towel if you want. bet after a few times it will seem natural. anyone comments just ask why they're looking.

[Luke91]

Just take a deep breath, drop you undies and head to the shower. The only way you can go wrong is if you act overly afraid. Never ever try to shower with your underwear on or try to hide in the stall to change. After a few days you will learn to enjoy it.

[Coolguy2067]

Oh and if you get a boner randomly just play it off, its really nothing. Even if you are attracted to guys it's fine! Every guy gets boners!

[Andrew2499]

Don't worry they are going to be nervous too, just take a shower. that's all there is to it. i was nervous when i had to shower at school too.

[Second Chance]

I would not worry about it though I know that's easier said than done. Just remember everyone is as nervous as you even though they may not show it. The best way to handle the showers is to pretend that no one is there and that you're in your own shower at home. As soon as you undress, then wrap a towel around your waist. Lock up your stuff and head over to the showers. There is usually a towel rack or something you put your towel on, and then you walk into the showers naked. Once you are done doing your stuff in the showers and dry yourself off, then wrap the towel around your waist, head back to your locker, and you're done.

Everyone is super scared the first time showering in a group, but by the second or third week it is not a big deal anymore. You'll be fine, and you'll see that no one's body is perfect and that everyone has something they would rather not show everyone else.

[trainman]

Don't sweat it dude, I was the same way. Just go in, take your shower, talk to the guys, other guys my check you out, just forget about it, all guys make comments, just laugh and join in, no bullying, just talk. It'll all be cool soon.

[Darksoul13]

All you gotta do is pretend you're taking a shower at home. Just get your stuff done then leave. Nothing to it.

[SecretlyKnown]

I hate how they make you shower naked with other men. It is really immodest and disgusting.

[Voodo]

see what everyone else does and if it comes down to getting nude then act confident.. it works for me

[Baseball1999]

Hey don't worry. Every other guy in soccer is likely nervous about taking showers too. Your not the only one.

[Panda]

I was worried about getting a boner but once it actually came to shower it all went fine. Relax and dont be nervous.

[nick_1999]

Don't be embarrassed about being naked, but don't be showing off to everyone either. Also, just get your shower and leave. Don't stand around cause that'll just make you more nervous. Just remember that most of these guys are just as nervous as you are!

[Pulp501]

This is how it went for me. The only year they made us shower was 7th grade, in my high school it isn't even an option. But in 7th grade, we just got naked quick, got under the water for a few seconds, no soap or anything. Went back and got dressed. It was a bit weird, but you get used to it quick. There was no towel slapping or bullying things like stealing clothes. No one says anything about your body. I'm over weight so I'm very insecure but no one mentions it. I've also never gotten or seen a boner

It sounds like a place I wanna be ;-)

[Arsenalfan123]

Why are you naked anyway??

[Jamaicob]

thought it was common in amercia for everyone to shower. ITs fine though mate, I was worried about it but now its perfectly normal, everyone is in same situation just get it out and go shower dont be afraid of what youre packing down there

[Waterford]

Trust me they are nervous too

[ksdnfkfr]

Im reminded of the first day it was time to strip and get in the communal shower, this one guys whos crazy as hell, was one of the first ready and started yelling "make way! stud coming through!" as he walked to the showers. The rest of us busted up laughing and joined him. almost none of us has been shy about it since then.

[airjordan97]

It actually isn't that bad. So what you see each other's dick! I just conquered my fears and stripped and took a shower with the guys at morning lifting.

[spartanrob]

If you don't shower you will smell. so just be confident, get naked, shower, enjoy!

[Jtyler]

Your fine

Don't most athletes have pretty big dicks because they have a lot of testosterone in their bodies?

[mychalo]

My first few of times I was really nervous because I"m not very far into puberty, but other boys looked just like me so I got over it quickly. I have no problem being naked with my brothers but with other boys it was so different the first few times.

[Jeonard]

do what everyone else does and act confident too

[JacobIN]

You need to make sure you act "strong" when you shower.
Walk in there without a care, get clean, and don't stare at anybody they will find that unsettling, (Unless yo want too, but i recommend not letting them catch you.)
Besides, you all have Penises, so there is really nothing to be ashamed of, even if your smaller. I admit, the first people I showered with all pretty much had me beat...but we were all flaccid, so maybe not. Either way, Just go in there strong.

[Ben101]

As the others have said, act as confident as possible and dont show that you're nervous.

[Remora]

My "etiquette" there is, just act confident. We were *supposed* to shower in second grade and we would need a signed letter from our parents saying we didn't have to in order to... not have to. There was this one kid that did shower but other than that nobody (of the males, at least) showered, must've been terrible for him. He didn't shower any more after that. He was confident about it though.

[JamesSC]

Don't worry about it. If people look, be flattered. I am flattered when boys look at me in the shower.

[Country Cowboy]

We don't take showers at my school. however, I suggest that you just worry about getting in and out and you'll be fine

[elmoc]

everyone else feels exactly the same when they first start with communal showers. After the first two days, you will be a 'pro.' Just act like it is no big deal, take your shower, & move on.

I was a late bloomer & pretty insecure the first time, but plenty of other guys were just the same as me.

[evan_carter]

People still shower at school? At all the schools I've been to, I've never even heard the shower go on.

[jjj8995]

just dont look at other people.

[DarkHorse4eva]

act confident and hope for the best. the others are also scared or nervous
