Is it alright to be completed naked in the swimming pool changing room??

Is it a third world practice? Is it an intrusion to ones privacy? is it degrading? Is being stark naked really bad in a public changing room?

The issue was raised in the forum. Someone raised the protest to me a couple of days ago?

I do not know what's the current Army standard, having completed my reservist more than 10 years. In those days, army buddies just do it. With 5 minutes to shower, who cares what hangs between your legs. Just get it over and be ready to wait.

So when this local post NS boy wrote in with a strong feedback on how embarassing it was to be naked in changing rooms with others, i was like... "Have I lost touch with the real world??"

I still bathe with my sons occasionally. We have no problem though the teenage boy is starting to want some privacy .. probably he is quite well hung for his age!
If you are not comfortable being naked with others, you sure gonna missed the spa experience in Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

That's bring me to the next thing, I guess while you are open to being naked, it's good to maintain the apperance. My advice to my teenage son..."For hygiene sake, please go trim !!!" I am not saying showing off but if it's messy and do trim a little. I think it's less warm and definitely more hygienic as it's easier to maintain and keep dry.

If you can take the pain, go waxed it off. It's definitely neater. Can you find bushy XXX-rated actors??

So what can you do if you are faced with so many naked bodies in the changing room? Go change in a cubicle with door; assume you did not see anyone: go use another more suitable facilities or have your own private facility. I really salivate at the open concept shower facilities in some private homes .. open sky as roof, glass or foliage as wall, rain shower type shower head, jacuzzi in a toilet the size of my bedroom...that's a sign of someone who has made it in life ...

Sinagpore Zoo has excellent open concept toilet too...

And for the boy who is giving me the headache, plaese don't ask me for cubicles for the urinal!!
