Jockstraps and showers were part of 6th grade P.E., so I was eleven the first time I got naked with other guys. I had been taught to keep stuff covered and was weirded out at first, but a few days later grab-assing around with a bunch of other naked boys in a community shower seemed perfectly natural. The early bloomers acted kind of superior, but I don’t’ recall any differences other than the hair.

The 7th grade teacher preached that hair didn’t make a man, but by then we knew that more was better and a visible bush was a status symbol that year, and a necessity for a cool kid in the sperm spewing 8th grade. Testicles were targets at that age, but the homophobic taboo against actually touching them made you safer naked than fully clothed.

High school P.E. classes weren’t grade specific, so fourteen-year-old children and eighteen year old men stripped down together. A couple of kids weren’t circumcised and one sophomore always popped a boner, and although the older guys must have been better rigged, I don’t recall being impressed. It was hair and muscles that got my attention, not dicks and balls. Most freshmen were skinny kids with pits and pubes, but the lucky few were bulked up or had hair all over like the older guys, some of whom even had to shave every day to meet the school’s grooming code.

There were no concessions to modesty. The showers were open and crowded and you were always bumping into one another. Towels were issued on the way out and never worn around the waste and everyone was barefoot. The was some strutting, but most guys just went about getting dry and dressed without regard to who saw what. I attended two different high schools and it was the same at both.

I wasn’t athletic and didn’t much like P.E. but in no way was I traumatized by the whole experience. Sweaty adolescents stink and a shower after a workout was a necessary rite of passage as well as a bonding experience, and it was definitely educational. The was Kid stuff and Man talk, but nothing sadistic and certainly nothing gay. Any fruitiness while naked would have gotten a guy pounded back then.

I didn’t take P.E. after my sophomore year, so the next time I stripped down with other guys was at my Selective Service draft physical. I was fully grown at eighteen but still didn’t need to shave every day and was a little intimidated by the gorillas, but as soon as the pants came off it was obvious that the 7th grade teacher had been correct.

You shared many experiences with other men on here in growing up. My own perspective was different in some ways, by becoming sexual with other boys at a young age, and seeing a lot more sexual banter in the showers and locker rooms while growing up. But the thrill of showering and being naked with other males, was, and still is, a major turn on and joy from my past. One that still feels strong today. That shared privilage of males stripping down in big groups so openly, proudly, and joyously, still gives me great pleasure all of these years past, and still counting ! I still enjoy it like I did as a boy or teen, maybe even more now as a gay man. I can relish now being one of those big, hairy, well endowed, grown men that awed and inspired me as a boy and teen. I can clearly remember hoping so much that I would some day grow up into one of those men as a young boy. Eager to join the grown men and give other males what I received as a boy and teen sharing showers and locker rooms with men in big groups. Its such a shame to see individual showers replacing the big group showers of our youth. And the homophobia that is driving the switch from group showers toward single privacy showers. We all knew fully growing up that we were sharing our big gang showers with gay men and boys. If anything, that made the showers far more thrilling, than if everyone had acted like desexed str8 robots in the showers. The most sexual showers were the most memorable showers ! Thanks for sharing so many similar memories from growing up.

One of my happiest group shower memories, among many, was as a college man and we had what was called " screw your roomate " organizied dorm outings. It was a group dorm date night. Each man would set up a blind date or a requested date with a female his roomate would enjoy, for his roomate s date. The whole floor of male dorm residents would all go on a group date with the women each roomate got for his bunk mate, like horseback rides, hay rides, hikes, or similar group activities. You should have seen the 80 plus college men, all crowded in our group showers that were built to shower around 10 or 15 men at a time. They started singing ! Spontaniously, in joy. All singing the same songs. Like men so happy and eager for their dates, all so openly celebrating together and singing in bass voices in joy ! Male bonding at its best. A bunch of str8 men and a few gay men all sharing a joyous shower together. And the joy in their voices as they were about to meet their blind dates right after showering and dressing ! The joy in their voices was unforgetable and pure male testosterone in full bloom !

I am delighted with remarkable custom in your college! At us all it was much more modest. Blind dates were almost never arranged. General parties were thrown after passing the exam session. Choral singing was not arranged, but the music poured from the tape recorders ...

My own childhood memory with swimming lessons at camp and becoming the focus by peers in the locker for having “a third leg”. It may seem like a compliment but at age 8 it was something that made me stand out and not in a good way among others. I already fantasized about its removal but that could be around the time I really started thinking about it dropping off and what it could mean for me to just keep it safely in a box or a drawer somewhere. Really glad now I didn’t have easy access to a sharp pair of scissors at that camp.

As a child, I repeatedly visited summer camps located in beautiful natural places on the shore of some safe reservoir. We had swimming lessons. We also just swam and sunbathed in the sun. Sometimes boys jokingly compared ... those who had more were proud .

They were all sizes but mostly within a general range. Then there was mine, which was the object of a lot of jokes for being a type of mutation.

Guys with "mutation" at girls always enjoyed unusual popularity.

Yeah but you’re not thinking like that at age 8. As a bonus, I already had a cousin, female, who was a few years older than me that tried to feed it to their dog. I was kinda convinced girls were repulsed by it for awhile after that experience.

Puberty in boys is happening earlier. It was common for boys to start puberty at age 12 or 13. However, the recent generations have seen puberty starting as early as eight years old.

It's no longer considered precocious puberty by most pediatricians. What I do not understand is the lack of communication between parents, doctors, educators, and boys going through puberty. Huge changes happen and very few adults talk about it. It's medical and happens to everyone.

In fact, the opposite can be true. Parents can create shame around a boys growing body. Schools used to teach sexual education but, the subject was dropped in most districts. Then, boys are left to the rumors and outright falsehoods they hear from other boys as the only information they get. Worse is the BS in the locker room aimed at late bloomers or those with more than an ample supply of manhood.

The fact that Rog's lesbian friend tried to feed Ranger to her doggie proves that parents and educators really should make sure young people know about puberty and what is happening (and what is not wrong).

There is a huge difference between average and normal when it comes to the human body. The average male height in the United States is about 5'9" tall. Nevertheless, normal height can be from 5' to over 7", and there just because a person isn't average does not mean they are not normal.

Penis size averages about 5" (8" on the Internet). Still, normal has a broad range. A guy with 4.5" is normal and so is a guy with 9".

If this can't be taught in health class, why can't we at least teach it in math class?

I was a very early bloomer for my puberty. I got called 3 legs and hairy ape and similar names as young as 9 years old. But being extra big and tall, it was a huge advantage in sports and holding off bullies as a boy. I loved that extra attention and obvious envy and admiration. And strutting around like a proud exhibitionist and showing off my body and dick and balls to anyone I could get away with showing off to. Girls loved asking me questions and asking to see me naked. I happily said Hell Yeah to many of them. This was before the fascist sex police outlawed being a normal, proud, male teen. I also loved showing off every detail of my sex organs in thin speedos at crowded beaches and pools. Speedos allowed me to show off every proud inch and every curve of my gonads legally to the world. Plus I d get fully erect and throbbing hard in locker room showers and changing with all ages of males. Most times males just looked and thought of their own uncontrollable public erections. I was a proud show off, loving it throbbing in front of males in locker rooms.
