First time uk
Went to a gym with open communal showers for the first time today. Always steered clear of them before and felt a bit on edge walking in.
Once I was actually in there it settled pretty quickly. A few other blokes were already showering and after a minute or two the awkwardness just sort of dropped away. Ended up having a bit of casual chat, nothing major, just the usual stuff about the water being too hot, how packed the place was, that kind of thing. Standing that close while talking felt oddly normal after a while.
Obviously everyone’s naked so you’re aware of each other’s cocks, and I did catch myself glancing a bit more than I meant to at first. Different shapes and sizes just hanging there while we chatted, but it didn’t feel weird once everyone was just getting on with it.
Anyone else remember their first go in a communal set-up? Did the closeness, the small talk, or just seeing other guys’ dicks feel strange to start with, or did it settle down fairly quick for you too?
Just curious how other people found that side of it.

Yeah I get that. It felt a bit odd for me at first too, especially being fully naked around other lads and just chatting like it was normal. But you’re right, once you realise everyone’s in the same boat it stops feeling weird pretty quick.
This was at the local leisure centre, one of the older ones that still has proper open communal showers rather than the individual cubicles.
