Communal Showers

Hi everyone. I have posted a couple of times before but have not formally introduced myself here on the forum. I just started PE one and a half weeks ago, starting size 15cm NBP length and 12.7cm girth. Current goal 14cm girth, long term goal 15.2cm (6”) girth. Perhaps some more length, but I have not set any goal, right now I think that 14cm is achievable and thats what I’m gonna aim for. I have not measured flacid as it’s so inconsistant, best hang is 6” before it starts to look erect. I have a timeframe of one year, as this is the amount of time I am in Australia for so it’s good to invisage a period to help stay motivated. I am working on PE as part of an overall plan to develop my body, I just started out at the gym six weeks ago. I have known about PE for a long time, and spent some time lurking, but now I really want to give it a shot. I think the real reason for leaving starting so late is fear, fear that it would not work and I could not achieve my dream of a huge cock. After just 1.5 weeks I am already feeling a slightly stronger erection and the improvement in hang is certainly noticeable. For the months running up to PE I was suffering from insecurity about my erections as I did not have sex for a while and the whole time I was thinking: are my erections hard enough, will I be able to maintain an erection during sex and so on. Then I finally got lucky and these insecurities subsided as I realised I could perform. When I thought about viagra and then realised that there was “not much room for improvement” I realised for the first time in years I was highly secure with my erections, which was a great feeling. When I was younger, ie under 18, I was NEVER insecure about my size. I went to boarding school when I was 11 and we had communal showers, and I lived most of my life there untill I was 17. I think communal showers after sport are the way to go, as even if you are small, you will realise it is not a big deal. I strongly suspect that the insecurity that developed in my adult years was triggered by internet porn and the media. Before the age of 18 I had never once viewed internet porn or used the internet in private. The media has driven men to become size obsessed, and has projected the “bigger is better” image on conscious and subconsious levels for a long time. It would be interesting to know how many of you guys had communal showers at school or use communal showers at the gym??

Anyway, that is my two cents, hope I have not bored you

Had communal showers since like 11 or 12 through sport. I think it does help about insecurity a lot.

I like paragraphs better than communal showers. :)

And they are free!

I have had no communal showers but they would be embarrassing for me.

I never had to take communal showers in school.

I would imagine them being okay or even beneficial for most people, but not for the seriously underdeveloped. I’ve heard about people’s egos being crushed in locker rooms at young ages.

I had to take communal showers (sports). It didn’t end up being that big of a deal for me (being good at the sports tended to help there!), but there were kids who refused to shower, and a couple who earned nicknames like “pinky” or “thumb”. That was pretty unfortunate in retrospect.

I wish we could get over the nudity hangup, but that would require a lot more than communal showers in schools. I don’t know if they are more damaging than helping; I imagine they save money by maximizing shower space utilization.

Boarding school and communal showers are a huge part of the reason for me being at sites like Thunder’s. I was a very late bloomer, didn’t really start developing at all until I was 16 (I.e. Just before I left school).

The bullying that happened as a result completely destroyed my self image. For years I completely avoided any situation where communal showering may have been involved. While I still struggle with it mentally, to a certain degree, I’m pleased to say that with a combination of natural growth and a bit of PE thrown in, it doesn’t bother me to let it all hang out these days.

School is a cruel place to be if you are different!

BTW, you are a genius man, this it’s really what happens, a friend of mine has gone to army and these days we are talking about size and he say the same thing, “my dick it’s very normal, you see a lot of guys with a dick like me” he is 6” and like our good friend big girtha (nude beach lover) has already say it to.

Generally the people who avoided the showers after basketball practice were the black guys. At least the ones without large flaccids I’m guessing.

I do not mind communal showers, but I do think it is the first place I recognized “size” differences. Growing up I did not play sports in school, it was always just at a friends house. My parents always felt as though I was too small and would get clobbered so they put me in the academic stuff. lol

It was the summer between my Junior and Senior year of high school when I had first communal shower experience. I was at a summer academic program. I was VERY nervous at first, just because it was different and I did not know any of the guys there. It was a very free experience. We were the only male dorm that had communal showers. There was two other male dorms and we would always get teased about “don’t drop the soap”. lol As the weeks went by, we had become so comfortable with one another that we would have conversations and joke around in the shower. It just became “normal”, second nature.

During this time I started dating one of the girls in the program. Well, as a joke, some of the guys decided to “have a conversation with her” about me. hahaha To make a long story short they told her I was packing and that everyone on our hall had given me the name “Black Racer”, which I later found was some type of black snake. She was VERY embarrassed about them telling her that, but she decided to play a joke on me as well. Then next time she saw me she said, “What’s up black racer”. I was like what and by the look on my face she knew I did not know a thing. She burst out laughing and then told me the guys had given me a nickname. I was so embarrassed, but I went back to the dorm with my chest stuck out that night. I few days later I introduced her to the snake and she loved it.

During my communal shower experience I never thought I had a big penis. I did see mine was bigger than most, but I did not think it was that big of a deal. Even though I currently measure 7.3” BPEL, above average, I still do not think I have a big penis. Hopefully, when I reach my short-term goal of 8”, then I will start to feel as though I have a big penis.

You must have a big flaccid size then.

10inchadvantage,

I think it is cultural. African Americans, in general, are very private with nudity and even more guarded when it comes to sexuality. Showering with a group of guys where everyone can see your junk would be considered “gay”, especially if there is a discussion while showering!

I had communal showers at school and in many of the gyms I have gone to over the years. My father’s generation and before had conscripted military service. Guys have been bathing together since time began.

Whatever your size, the main thing is just to accept it. If you try to hide it, everyone becomes interested in why, then if you are smaller or larger than average and it’s obvious it bothers you, you are going to get ribbed about it. If you obviously don’t care and don’t try to hide it, no one else seems to care either.

Actually you do have a big penis.

7.3” is the 95th percentile for length. A girth of 5.25” is in the 80th percentile for girth.

It’s not a heart stopping monster cock, but it is definitely a big dick - well above average.

Just a quick reality check for you, Black Racer.
