What do you mean, 'fortunately'?. Not only is it disgusting from a hygiene point of view -- especially wrt sweaty teenagers! -- it's also a great way to come to terms with nudity. With porn as the main source of nudity, it's no wonder that so many teens have self-image issues.
- eastbayjake 11y agoI think the 'fortunately' was in reference to OP saying she was pre-transition, which I imagine might make a men's locker room experience anxious and painful, and I thank OP for bringing up that perspective because I hadn't considered it while thinking about my own locker room experiences. I agree with you that showering after wrestling practice forced me to come to terms with nudity, and I'm grateful for the confidence boost that comes from seeing that most men look the same under their clothes. (But I don't think "size anxiety", if you will, is limited to special snowflake Millennials who haven't been naked in front of others... it seems like many men of all ages worry about it and feed into a thriving industry of enlargement scams -- at least judging by the contents of my spam folder!)
