So, yeah, I check out guys in the shower. And I’ve been known to do the flirting eye contact, smile routine as well, from time to time. I often question whether I’m being rude. Particularly when I try to initiate eye contact\/smile, and it gets ignored, or a frown in response.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, after lifting, the showers were a minor zoo. Usually there’s maybe 4 guys in there at once, this time there were more like 8 (with 20-25 shower heads). So, shower, sauna, some out of shape, wrinkly, white-haired guy “scratching” himself alot in the sauna, while looking at me. I suppose that’s kind of flattering, but this sauna is fairly crowded, this isn’t steamworks, and furthermore, it’s not that much farther\/more expensive to go to steamworks instead. Not the right place for it*, and not someone I’d want to do anything with really, though I have no real objection to him doing whatever he wants with himself.<\/p>\n
*=(I regard surreptitious masturbation in a not-specifically-queer gym (in fact, in this case, parents-and-kids-oriented gym) as a minor rudeness, while openly masturbating in the sauna of a not-specifically-queer gym would be really rude, almost certainly get him disapproving reactions, and probably get him tossed out if he continued it, like the way smoking ought to be, thank you CA)<\/p>\n
Out to the shower. Scratchy guy relocates to the showerhead immediately<\/i> adjacent to me. (note that currently makes 6 people to 20+ showerheads). Another guy comes out, starts a shower two heads down from me the other way, then moves to the one adjacent to me. A third guy showering half the room away, relocates to the shower directly across from mine. All of them (not in unison) start soaping up their dicks. One of them (across from me) is marginally attractive. Doing my best not to stare, and not to give any encouragement. Unfortunately one part of my anatomy is not cooperating. This is inspiring claustrophobia. Wrap towel around me, head to steam room. 4 seconds behind me are my adoring fans. Fortunately the steam room is less crowded, and they sit farther away.<\/p>\n
Eventually they stop following me, my muscles are less tight\/sore, I rinse off. Hey, pretty cute guy, eye contact, smile, reciprocation.<\/p>\n
While I’m waiting for Ro out front to take me to board gaming, cute guy introduces himself and we exchange contact info.<\/p>\n
