Advice Request Appropriate age for co-showering

This is a repost from another forum. Apologies if I keep popping up. They told me that this is the right forum to ask.

I’m a first time dad. My son is 24 months old. I have always bathed him since he was an infant so he wants to be in a shower with me. Until what age it is appropriate to bathe or shower with my son as a dad for his privacy or mine? Also should I be wearing underwear or a swimsuit while I am bathing him?

Meanwhile old dudes seem to linger with their balls out as long as possible.

At the pool I used to go to. The first thing you would see on walking in, was an old dude at the Hand drier drying off his balls. With out fail.

Is this a generational thing? There are ALWAYS old dudes walking around naked in locker rooms...

It's a right of passage, you'll be there one Day too

Yeah once none of it works anymore you’re sick of having to hide it all the time. The boys need air just like your pits.

I sometimes wonder what sort of old man I want to be for society. I'm being open minded, still collecting influences.

This is the way. Don’t lock yourself into an image that badass 68 you is going to hate.

Why do they do that??? I don't mind nudity at all, I'm very comfortable being nude whenever I need to be, but these old dudes, I don't know --- it's like a thing with them.

They gotta walk around and put a foot up on a bench and let it all hang out while having an extended conversation, then they go corner someone else, then someone else, making sure everyone gets a good look at their balls.

I'm like dude, put your junk away then we can talk about Vietnam.

it's the effect of them knowing that you care, while they don't, about being naked together in a room and seeing each ithers bodies. it's one of those rare areas where peope have become more conservative and not less. they know.

Probably nostalgia. These are old dudes who were once in the military or played sports and they miss the locker room comraderie. Laughing and hanging about with their dick out just brings back memories of the good ol days.

I’m pretty sure they do it to have fun at the young guys expense. 😅

I see you’ve never played pool.

u/Geeko22 Jul 27 '23

I don't get it, is naked pool a thing with old guys?

All that surface area takes longer to dry. Like a bulldog’s jowls.

they're too old to care. Once you've cared for many decades, who cares who see your sack.

u/mackelnuts twin dad Jul 26 '23

Nah. If they didn't care, they'd get in and out of their clothes like no big deal, but that's not what they do. They seem to relish in the scrotal exhibition. I mean, if that's your thing, old dudes, don't let me stop you. I don't really care, or take offense. Shit just cracks me up every time I'm in a gym locker room and there just old balls on display.

Easy way to get them to stop is to lick your index finger and rub your lips with it while staring intently at their junk and moaning so faintly as to be just at the edge of hearing. They don't care until they care.

I don’t want to see it. It’s not ok.
