You would like my gym, there are a lot of Muslim members. The other day there was a woman in the Jacuzzi fully clothed in traditional garb, hijab and full length robe.

I guess everyone has to tiptoe around the people who are sensitive or easily offended.

I understand there are many different types of men: the painfully shy (who probably would never be caught dead in a locker room to begin with), the prudes, the Mormons, the missionaries, the introverts and extraverts, the Woodstock generation, the self-conscious and unselfconscious, the Alpha and Beta types, the show-offs, and on and on. There's always going to be some friction, but I think people shouldn't be critical or suspicious of others who just have a different comfort level with nudity than you do.

There's a big difference between "I have nothing to hide" and "I want to flaunt myself."

I have never been to a locker room that had stacks of towels all around the room, you had to bring your own, or exchange it through a window for a clean one, but towels are not a clothing item, they are for drying off.
“Normal” means “confirming to a type, standard or regular pattern” (says the dictionary).

In my gym, 90% of people in the locker room have a towel or clothing on except when they’re in the shower or when they’re changing in their stall. Thus that is “normal”. At least in my gym.

And my gym has stacks of towels all over the place.

You would like the local nude beach where you can walk up to other men totally nude and it's considered normal behavior. Heck, you could even sit down together, talk for hours, rub suntan lotion on each other and maybe even play catch with a frisbee, totally nude!!!!!

Most guys get the shower thing over quickly. Just this one gym I went to had a bunch of old guys in the sauna naked for hours. Pass. I'd rather go home and shower vs sit around with a bunch of old guys naked talking about nothing. Never mind the fungal/bacterial angle of a bunch of people sitting naked on a wood bench.

Not for me. If you belong to a gym that doesn't have clean available towels, it's time to find a new one.

We have a natural dislike of seeing other men nude. That’s how we’re wired.

We are the normal ones. You aren’t.
Ya, seeing another man with a partial erection isn't on my day's highlight reel.

Exactly, there are some places where nudity is normal and that includes locker rooms.
Nude beaches and locker rooms are both easily avoided by the easily offended.

Sitting naked in a locker room for 5 hours is normal?

"Normal, straight men" are indifferent to it.
