Many straight guys get off on seeing each other naked, being naked together, grabbing each others penises. One answer said that “straight dudes don't enjoy seeing dudes' junk.” Totally untrue (see the above paragraph for starters). In fact, studies have shown that straight guys “measure up” each other even more than gay men do in the showers. Their straight (and closeted) teammates are looking at them naked, studying them, remembering them, already (this is something many respondents in the Reddit chat pointed out). Ummmmm, guys are “peeped at” in the shower already.
One of the first answers on the Reddit chat was the tried and true, “Guys think they will be peeped at.” We’ve heard this concern pop up before, from guys in the NFL all the way down to recreational sports, that somehow having a gay guy naked in the locker room changes the dynamic of the nakedness so prominent there. This week there’s been a revealing Reddit conversation about whether straight guys are “nervous” about showering with gay guys.
