In my view, to be liberal is to be uninhibited and comfortable with the body, and to be conservative is to be prudish and covered up. People who covered up excessively we called "squares." You could judge who was more conservative or liberal by how much flesh was exposed.

Have you ever seen documentaries about Woodstock? Do you think all those young people taking off their clothes were conservatives? Something is wrong with you.
Well, the millennials and Gen Zers are the most coddled, prissy, fearful generation I've seen, for sure. All their tattoos and piercings and purple hair are just camouflage to disguise just how fearfully conformist they really are.

Call me crazy.
Who says a guy has to carry on a conversation with another guy who’s naked? If you don’t say anything, he’ll get the message and move away,

Why are you looking at naked guys? Why don’t you keep your eyes on the floor, your locker, your clothes, the showerhead, etc.

Why are you not reading before responding?

As I have stated over and over, I DON’T look at them.

However, if a naked guy is parading around the locker room, he will come in sight even though you don’t want to see him. And even if you look away immediately, which I do, you still see things that you don’t want to see, if even for a moment.

Again: please let me know how many times I will need to repeat basic facts to you until you understand.

Please also let me know why encouraging same-gender nudity is so important to you.

It's part of life at the gym and it's good all ages of "adults" are allowed to go.

You need to get used to differences in society or stay home.

Agreed. No one is forcing him to go into a locker room.

So you've stated over and over that "straight men" don't like seeing other men walking around naked, implying that only gay men would dare go commando in the locker room, yet your only example of someone you accidentally saw naked was a straight man. Makes sense to me.

You are the poster boy for insecurity.

I’m sensing that personal issues such as this may call for some professional help.

Just give it more time and more life experience. It's never too late to work on confidence, self-acceptance, or gaining enough serenity so that little things like this don't bother him. This is why the "old men" don't care, they've lived through a lot.

And what's the problem with a little parading or strutting now and then, it wouldn't kill him. Might be just what the doctor ordered.

After you've had an attractive young female doctor give you a colonoscopy and had an attractive young nurse do an ultrasound inspection of your testicles, you start to realize that naked people are just people with their clothes off.
