Personally don't see what the fuss is about, but you could try just humming along to "It's raining men" or something. Statistically, it should have the desired effect and there's only a 1 in 5 chance of getting bummed.

just have a quiet word with the other guy and let him know you'd prefer the privacy of showering on your own.

he should then leave you alone and will probably think twice about walking in when anyone else is in there..

it's likely he'll just apologise and go 'whoops, sorry, no offence!' and it'll be job done.

Are you wishing the odds were shorter?

I don't think it's a matter of prudishness it's more a matter of self confidence.

After the initial feeling of uncomfort you'll realise that no-one actually really cares or is judging your body. You'll probably turn out to be a slightly more confident individual and when forced to share showers in the future for some reason or another you'll be happy as larry.

I presume no one was suggesting that the person barging in on the men's shower in question was a woman, so the etiquette is presumably similar in any single-sex showers. Apart from the silly homophobic gags about not bending for the soap, which deserve to be ignored anyway .

Exactly

 

[bonj2]

what are you going on about Bonj ? your post isn't even written in English.

What, and the following IS? :

I'm not prudish never have been you can't be if you've been a national athlete or been to public school but some people are fact ,thats their choice .

??

The point that you are missing is that Jimbo was already in the shower . it was the other person joining him without question or warning that I understand Jimbo was questioning. ie their lack of sensitivity . Something you should know all about

Well then my point boils down to the point which i think has just been made, that his use of the communal showers constitutes his acceptance of them.

What! You´re a male and married to a 6ft4 rugby player?

Yeah, I remember those old rugby days when 15 blokes crammed into a bath made for two, and in tepid, muddy and bloody water!

Right on.

In reply to the original post, I might say something like, "Oooo! Hello! Now you are a big boy aren't you! Be a darling and pass the soap".

I wonder if they wouldn't know what to say/do/where to look as they turned a dark shade of beetroot

This plan could, however, backfire if they do indeed turn out to be an actual homosexual.

What sort of a badly-endowed homo-gay feels uncomfortable when using a public shower? Do you feel uncomfortable when in a public changing room as well?

I don't follow ... It's not me feeling uncomfortable, it's them!

Anyway, it was meant to be a lighthearted joke ...
