Women in the Men's Locker Room

| | Comments (2)
Although the title makes it sound like a scene from a sexy porno movie, the fact remains that there are constantly women in the men's locker room at my gym! On at least 10 different occasions I've seen the cleaning women in the men's locker room. Doesn't this strike anyone else as being odd? Or maybe it's simply explained by the phrase, "This is Spain."

The first time, I was standing at the locker room urinal doing my bid'ness when I heard rustling behind me at the always-locked supply closet. I turned my head to see a short, middle-aged woman wearing what looked like loose-fitting hospital scrubs. Quickly, I turned my head back, eyes front, hands steady at the wheel.... Suddenly, I was nervous, shifting slightly my orientation in the opposite direction to further block any potential gaze until she left with her bags, bottles and such. "Whew. That was a close call. What's she doing in here?!"

Another time I was arriving at the gym and entered the locker room. No sooner had I turned the corner when I was passed by another woman, same hospital-looking garb, wearing yellow rubber gloves and carrying cleaning supplies. She was on her way out. But as soon as I passed her at least 2 naked men were entering the showers, crossing the same path which she had just walked.

On a different day, I was getting dressed and facing my open locker door, sinching up my shorts when another cleaning lady, this one much younger, passed through the entire length of the locker room. No one flinched, No one grabbed a towel. No one said a word. AND THESE WERE SPANISH MEN!!!

The above accounts happened at my current gym, where I've been going for about 1.5 years. At my previous gym, at the "Piscina Miami",  the same kinds of things happened until the closed for some building violation. The building, which was a combination-use gym and swimming pool, and has since been demolished.

Even at that previous gym there were always women in the men's locker room, casually mopping the floors and cleaning the toilets every morning at 9am, shortly after they opened. And there I was in all my morning glory getting dressed. Actually, my "glory" was nothing more than me in a sweat suit because I always arrived fully dressed and ready to peel-off the sweats and get bizzy. But many other guys at that gym were struttin' their stuff when walking from their lockers to the showers after a workout.

At first I thought it must be difficult working in such an environment, seeing all these naked, sometimes muscular men in the same place where you work. Or maybe, like male gynecologists, when you see this kind of thing everyday you become totally desensitized to it all. And maybe the same goes for the guys in the locker room whom see these cleaning women in their daily midst. No big dillio.

I've YET to see any high-heal-wearing cleaning ladies with tight shorts, tight half-shirts, with large artificial breasts, winking at all the guys as she struts through the locker room like in the porno movies - not that I'd know anything about that. This is a family forum, afterall. Gyms are places for getting "fit", not for getting "it".

It must be a European thing (sans UK), it was the same way in Germany, your busy relieving your full bladder at an Autobahn rest stop when the lady comes through and busily mops between your feet!

Spend a few years in Europe and you quickly learn to roll your eyes at how prudish the Americans are!!!

I've had the same experience in Spain, not only at gyms but also at swimming pools. By the way, it's happened to me in South America too. Hispanic cleaning women seem to be OK with going into mens locker rooms whether its Spain or South America.

In Spain, mostly it was middle aged women who did the cleaning. I haven't seen any "cleaning ladies with tight shorts, tight half-shirts, with large artificial breasts" but I have run into 2 young ladies in the locker room at a swimming pool I frequented. One was about 18 and the other was early 20's whose job it was to keep the mens locker room clean. They would from time to time even go into the area in front of the mens shower.

The 18 year old was very friendly and she would say hi and sometimes even stop to talk to me even if I was completely naked since it gave her an excuse to take a break from her work. (I always went during the least busy times, so it was usually just me and her in there. Not sure how she would have reacted if there was a whole bunch of naked guys in there.)

I never got the sense that she was getting aroused by seeing me naked. For her seeing penises was probably just part of her job, although she never also never tried to avoid seeing me naked or turn her eyes away and anything like that.

She wasn't gorgeous but she was above average in looks and had a nice body and so on a few occasions I ended up getting "happy" in front of her. The first time I was very embarassed and apologized but she assured me that it wasn't a big deal and she wasn't offended. The second time it happened I apoligized again and she said not to worry, that it was natural and that I wasn't the first erection she has seen. (Not sure if she meant she had seen erections in the locker room specifically or in her life in general.) After that, if I got hard I didn't worry about her being offended which was a relief although she would make comments and giggle when it happened.

I also lived with 2 different families in Spain. One was a mom and her 15 year old daughter, and the other was a mom with 2 daughters and a son, all in their teens. In both families the moms would walk in on me naked in the bathroom while I was showering to get something and they thought that was perfectly normal. I eventually got used to it.

In the first family, the 15 year old girl walked in on me once and was very embarassed about seeing me naked. So not all Spanish females are OK with it. But in the second family, one of the daughters (sometimes the 19 year old and other days the 16 year old) would bring me juice in the morning into my bedroom. They never knocked, just walked right in. Several times they caught me when I was naked. They would just smile and make some small talk and ask me how I slept etc. just like they would when I was clothed.

The 19 year old was especially talkative and seemed very comfortable with my nudity. She never said sorry or turned her head and she wasn't shy about looking. I know the girls also walked in on their 14 year old brother naked frequently, so I guess in their family it was normal for the 2 girls to see their brother naked, and they lumped me into that category as well. (I was in my mid 20's at the time I lived with them.)

S0 you certainly aren't the only guy that's had women in the locker room who didn't mind seeing guys naked. I've gotten used to it by now.
