When I was Manus, Brazil two naked men came out of the jungle right near the busy part of the city on the banks of the Amazon river to bathe as it was called. It was an odd juxtaposition I'm sitting with Brazilians dressed in Italian fashion and two naked jungle dwellers on the river bank bathing. I seemed to be the only one who noticed them. It put into perspective the topless females on the beach in Rio. I seemed to be the only one noticing them too.
I think its about cultural expectations. In parts of the world where you cannot have an expectation that everyone will cover up its optional. We are stuck with the expectation that people should be modest and cover up. The first thing Western Missionaries and Colonizers did everywhere they went was to get people to cover up.
I voted “yes” but getting naked for me means taking a shower and changing my clothes. I’m generally not one to hang out naked in the locker room and talk to other people.
Seems like a lot of people are too uncomfortable with being seen naked
I don’t want to see a naked guy and there’s absolutely no reason why I would want to be seen by another guy. A towel can be thrown on in literally five seconds, so I do that.
I voted no, because lately all lockerrooms showers I have seen have been very unfresh and cold.
I feel dirtier after using them than sweaty before, like I might catch something nasty off the floors.
I'll rather walk 5 minutes to get home and have my own fresh shower by myself, also less likelyhood any of my stuff gets stolen.
Isn't that the point of a locker room, to change clothes and possibly shower?
Kinda difficult to do those things without getting naked.
I'm not fond of hanging out with other naked men only but it's not an insurmountable obstacle.
A couple winters ago I was very cold after being underdressed for a trail run in 20F weather. Our local fitness club was way closer than home, so I went there immediately to thaw out in their hot tub. Man, it sure felt good!
I feel sorry for anyone who would skip such a pleasure due to being uncomfortable in a naked state publicly.
A coed naked scene, such as a nude beach, would be more agreeable. I once went to a nude beach on the Big Island that required about a mile hike in to get there. Upon arrival it was all guys! Probably most or all of them were gay. This was uncomfortable for me so I left right away.

Nobody in the locker room cares. Just enjoy being naked!

I can be naked at home. If I wanted to.
My gym doesn’t have shower doors and so not wearing anything while taking a shower and drying off, and thus being seen, is part of going to that gym. That’s fine (although I prefer shower doors if possible). Some of my friends have refused to join that gym due to the lack of shower doors though.
What I don’t like is people parading around the locker room, particularly while engaged in conversations, but not wearing anything. I don’t do that. I don’t like that because it’s impossible to avoid seeing (even if for a moment) parts that I really don’t want to see. Only a small handful of guys at my gym do that. Others have vocally complained to people who do that.

LOL, when I used to go for swimming lessons, a couple of guys used to want to have conversations with me in the shower while they are naked. I was like, can we wait until we're done showering and have clothes on before we talk? Of course, I didn't say that to them, but that's what was going on in my head.
There are certain things I prefer not to see when I converse with people.

I've been in locker rooms in gyms all over the country and I have never seen shower stalls in a men's locker room. Due to playing and coaching basketball, I have been in many high school girls locker rooms and they typically have shower stalls.
You definitely would not like taking a shower in my local YMCA. Not only are there no shower stalls, but guys walk through the shower to get to the pool. It is also a shortcut to the fitness center so many guys walk through the shower room fully clothed going and coming from the fitness center.

Some fitness clubs have them. Ours, "The Alaska Club" in JNU has dividers between the stalls and curtains to draw across the entry.
