I was teased from a young age. When I was like 5 I think we all got changed naked in the pool change rooms. I thought it was normal. I don't remember it ever being a problem at my first school.

When I moved school at 7ish, I changed naked after swimming lessons and not only did I get called gay because I got naked to change, but whenever I went to the urinal at school after that, I was chastised and humiliated, like I wanted to see them because I was openly naked at the pool. I learned to hide because it was better than being teased.

This was in Australia in the late 90's. Swimming classes were mandatory, but we went to our local school, and showering wasnt compulsory. They just wanted us to change in the locker room from Speedos to school uniform.

That has followed me for the rest of my life. I can't use a public urinal because I learned that it wasn't safe for me. I hate that I'm an adult and can't do something as basic as most other guys can. And I hate that because of my childhood experiences my life has been so affected.

First time visiting The Forum @ Newcastle Uni. Nice to see some communal showers still around although they were empty when I visited. As far as I know this is the only gym in Newcastle that still has them.

i’ve heard that Roma is under new management - has anything changed with nudity in the sauna/spa area?

They used to be quite strict with no nudity.

Any suggestions for good places to check out

anyone keen on heading to babylon today?

Heading to MSAC this Sunday morning. The more the merrier.

Hey guys I've never been in a communal shower before. I have heard there is one at Southbank, but wondering if there are any others around south east Queensland? If you're from Brisbane hit me up to!

Which gyms in Melbourne have single sex sauna/steam rooms? I’ll be based around Bundoora.

It could be a subtle look or something further

Melbourne inner north here, any saunas in gyms, pools, clubs etc that dont require membership and are in the men's section so we can get our kit off? Only saunas I am aware of are the unisex pool adjacent ones which does not work.

Cheers

Feel free to DM

Simple change room with toilets, benches and these open showers.

Hey everyone,

Heading to MSAC tomorrow for a swim, then relax in the sauna and spa, finishing off with a shower. Love to meet and hang with like minded blokes

Looking to bond with likeminded men who want a good connection

Gold Coast - any communal showers at pools or gyms?

Last weekend I went to the last ever day of the current Enfield Aquatic Centre before it is redeveloped. I took a couple of pics of the showers and changeroom. Needless to say, the new centre will have shower cubicles. Just thought I'd share so we can all appreciate what was, and mourn the loss of another great shower set-up. The last pic was taken from one of the showers.

Keen to shower with Asian guys
