I don’t know if this every happened in the communal shower but I tend to shy away from clean my uncircumcised penis in the general public. I have much more confidence in the stalls/ curtains where I can throughly clean it. In the land of 10,000 lakes there aren’t much men who are uncircumcised (the ones I have seen are the Hispanic guys) so I have this insecurities of publicly cleaning it but today it was much needed. When I work out, I tend to push my limit so for me to go see friends after my intense workout would be humiliating and selfish on my part to have that scent around my peers.

At this particular gym, the locker room has open showers but since it was a humid day. The gym wasn’t as busy so me and two other guys was in the shower. So I did my usual routine and started cleaning my 🍆 (throughly) and not really thinking about who is around me. Ninety percent of the time, I usually get a semi-erection hence as why I don’t usually do this in a public area. The guy two or three shower heads down is observing me and he starting to get a erection too but I didn’t think anything of it. Not really thinking it was me that was causing him to get it but I wasn’t really paying attention until I noticed his locker was in the same location as mine.

As he saluting away, he is eyeing me as I am no longer having erection but starting too. I took a deep breathe and give myself positive affirmation that I am fine and remind myself it was normal as I continue to get dress. I ignore the guy even though he kept looking at it even though went away.

As I existing the building, I starting asking myself these questions :

What if I did acknowledged him, what did think is going to happened in a open space? Was he going to jerk off when other is around? Like where did he thinking we would go if I was one of those guys that do cruise? Where can you cruise in the communal shower?

As I was processing these scenario, I realized I could acknowledge him and it wouldn’t go anywhere. He and I would be talking as both of us saluting one another than slowly it would’ve gone away knowingly nothing is going to happened.
