I find this really odd. Are young guys into this stuff? I mean is it just a generation thing and mid 20's people do this?

you simply can't generalize...especially when you don't explain the circumstances...I know young guys who wouldn't be caught DEAD with another guy in a shower...and some who would just shrug.

WHY do people ask questions like that when there IS no real 'answer'?

I'll share a large shower stall, hot tub, large whirlpool bath, sauna or sweat lodge with other guys. But I ain't gettin' cozy in a regular-sized sit-down bathtub with anyone whose plumbin' is the same as mine.

Yes, but if the touch each other's penises it ceases to be usual. Or they cease to be entirely heterosexual. Or something...

In college and in the Navy we all showered together; not only usual but required. But a bathtub ? I don't think so.

How did you wash each other in the Navy, mack? Soap on a rope?

Is it true that 'soap on a rope' was invented in prison to avoid bending in the showers?

I was standing at a urinal when this big fat guy at the next one said, "I havn't seen my dick in years." I asked "Why don't you diet"? he said "Dye it? why, what color is it now."?

Boy, talk about your weird questions...

It sounds pretty unusual to me if it's in a bathtub or a normal sized shower stall. What is the relationship between the 2 guys? Brothers? Friends? Golf partners?

To judge from the literature, what heterosexual men do with each other instead is drink.

Were the original bathing-together-guys making bathtub gin four years ago, and the OP was one of 'em? 'Cause that would explain the question and the four year hiatus: guest and friend drank too much, fell inta the tub, stayed in there drunk for a while and only felt weird about it when they sobered up yesterday.

I've seen 17 men bathing together. After a game of Rugby Football.



I dare anyone to question their sexual orientation.

In the Ukrainian village of Retleslav they have only one bath tub. It is not unusual, on Saturday afternoons, to see four or five heterosexual guys bathing together. However, the water is only really warm for the first group.

if they have been in that tub for all of these 4 years,
they are probably like prunes by now...

why does skin turn like prunes when in water,
when prunes get that way by dessicating...
losing water...??

one of life's little mysteries...

Your body absorbs moisture when you spent a lot of time in the water. The prune-like appearance comes from the wrinkles you have, from fingerprints onwards.

Your body also wrinkles when it dries out. See any mummy for details.

In Blind River it is unusual for heterosexual guys to bathe, period.

I don't know if that's any help, though.

Seems proper for 17 heterosexual Scottish loony rugby players and their prune-wrinkled mothers to save water and drink gin naked in a small tub in Blind River, as long as no one questions their sexual orientation?

If you are a "normal" heterosexual, you probably would be so obsessed with "sex" that it would be absolutely unthinkable to have your own naked body seen by anyone, whether of the same sex or another, and regardless of the other person's "sexual orientation."

If you've achieved an adult perspective on sex (not a normal thing to do in the US) you'd bathe/shower to get clean, and the presence or absence of others (especially, but not limited to persons of the same sex or/or sexual orientation) doing the same thing at the same time would be totally inconsequential to you, so bathing/showering "together" would be a very ordinary thing to do.

Skinny dipping can be fun, in same or mixed sex groups, and "sexual overtones" can be entirely optional in any mixture of participants, just as when everybody wears bathing suits; but it can be rendered completely "unenjoyable" by the presence of JUST ONE PERVERT (no intentional reference to the troll who started this) who thinks there's "something nasty" about being human, or that "nobody can see nakedness without being uncontrollably obsessed with sex."

Grow up, or leave the party until you get over your own obsessions, while the grownups perform their ablutions. If it bothers you, just don't look.

You didn't actually mention whether their female partners are with them whilst bathing together.....could make a bit of a difference.

I know a very good professional musician who, after a certain number of beers, is prone to tearing off his clothes, dashing outside, and running around whatever house he's visiting a few times before returning and putting the clothes back on. It's been raining a few times when he's done this - does that count as bathing?

Come to think of it, I once met a Harvard professor who did the same thing, except he also paused to chase some goats - innocently, I assure you - no goat was molested or harmed during the episode, just rendered rather nervous for a bit.
