Day 62: Never Have I Ever... Tried To Feel Comfortable Naked in Front of Women

Crap. I forgot to grab a towel. Now what do I do? I thought to myself, as the cool water from one of the gym showers pounded into my shoulders. I don't want to put my sweaty clothes back on now that I just took a shower, and I can't just walk out there naked.

Yeah, I'm one of those people. Never have I ever been naked in the gym locker room. I have no problem with other women walking around in the buff (and yeah, I admit it, I look. There's no harm in comparison shopping.) unless they're a colleague, in which case I feel a bit weird, but not uncomfortable.

So after peeking around the corner to make sure the coast was clear, I sprinted out past the rest of the showers to grab a towel, but not before a very pregnant lady got a great view of me nude and dripping wet.

Come on, Erika! It's normal and totally acceptable to walk around the locker room naked! I told myself. While women don't typically do this (normally, they dress in halves. If they are changing their top, they have pants on and vice versa) no one thinks it's weird if they do.

OK, you can do this, I thought to myself. It's the human body; it's fine; it's OK. Here goes.

After spinning the dial on my locker, I glanced around and made sure no one was in the locker room and then dropped my towel. I found myself tugging on my underwear with urgency, however, when I heard the door open and knew someone was about to come in the locker room. Unfortunately I was trying to put them on sideways, and then inside out, so I didn't get close to getting them in place before a woman cruised by me without even a glance.

Well that wasn't so bad, I thought as I finished getting dressed at a normal pace. Probably won't do this again though. What can I say? I'm modest.
