the naked truth

[candi_]

I take two to three showers a day and lately I've been taking them all at the gym. After observing "locker-room" behavior the past few weeks, I have some questions. There are ladies who walk around completely uninhibited, others who try and dress while hiding in their towels, some shower with the curtain wide open, most shower with the curtains

Oh Honey! Don't get me started! Because (and these are the "reasons", not my personal beliefs) women are the doorway to sin, women's bodies incite men to sin, women are "dirty" (women, after they had babies, had to wait something like 30 days before they could attend church because they were "unclean", and way, way back they couldn't be around men during their menses, for the same reason), blah blah blah. It just goes way back, it's completely ingrained. Combine that with today's "societal" pressures on women, where every "attractive" woman in movies, on t.v., or in magazines is a size 0, and you've got serious body image issues.
Yeah, it sucks.

You mean to tell me that women can't walk around other women naked and feel comfortable because of ancient traditions? Unfortunately, I 'get' what you're saying about the Hollywood bodies, but nobody in the 'REAL' world actually looks like the "chop-shop" plastic bodies on t.v. and magazines. How come guys aren't walking around hiding behind towels because their bodies don't look like the cover of Muscle Fitness Magazine?

Some guys do. :-) My mother takes water classes and said she has seen women in their 70's walking around naked.
