Comments on: Wise Guys: Do Men Check Out Other Penises?

Christ, but it is amazing how afraid some men are of their sexuality. All men will check another guy out. If he says he doesn’t, he’s lying. It’s no big deal and is only a normal part of sexual curiosity.

I’m as straight as they come and happily married, with a good sex life with my wife. I have, on occasion had sex play with another man my entire life. No, I am not gay and just hiding in the closet. No, I am not bi. I’m straight. I cannot be romantically attracted to a man, though I can enjoy a little sex play with one. I’m not alone. Research is proving that sexuality is fluid and that the labels we use are meaningless. The terms gay, straight and bi only allow us to pigeon-hole ourselves to give us a sense of belonging.

So I know that guys check me out whenever they can. I know that some of them are very uncomfortable with doing it too. And I know that many of them go home and masturbate to the fantasy image of my penis. But they will swear that they would never do such a thing. I consider this a sign of sexual immaturity.

I am straight and in my 30s, and single. I socialize with some couples I have been friendly with since high school. Everyone in the group know I am nicknamed “rope” by the guys in our group. So obviously some straight men have checked it out.

You can’t help but see penises in the locker room or showers. You just don’t stare. I am a coach. The youngest coach in our locker room is very shy about undressing in front of others. The oldest one, in his 50s, will strip bottomless in a heartbeat. Another in his 40s showed us all his hernia surgery, nude, and was complaining they totally shaved him from waist to knees and showed us the resulting rash. He only had his tackle out briely and held his hand in front of it after showing the scar. Not a big deal. And from being a reservist, the young guys are obvious and draw laughter for their extreme modesty. But a buddy of mine is shy about it because he shaves and doesn’t want razzed. He speculates that’s why many young men cover up–to hide shaved or cropped pubic hair.

All baby boys should be circumsized period! Its cleaner, less prone to infection and uncut men, there’s been a medical study uncut men cause cervical cancer in women. A deadly disease that usually women don’t know they have until its diagnosed too late!

Europeans, and guy from Norway are backward thinkers; they all think they know more than North Americans NOT – we in North America live in the New World, Not the Old World as in Europe!!! Why else did people emmigrate to America i.e. US and or Canada!!!

My son and I usually go together for swimming or to public bathroons while traveling. There is nothing to share or discover. That´s human nature, if you know that maybe you´ll have some natural and healthy curiosity to watch others from a natural point of view. So please, do not misunderstood personal intentions from nature, ok.

I’ve always felt uncomfortable about exposing even a small part of my genitals in public – i.e. at the gent’s urinal. Yep, “its a given” that men “simply look at the wall” when at public urinals, we don’t acknowledge each other etc… If I’m with some mates, we do talk..
I remember 10 years ago, in a Mens changing room, I desperately tried to avoid showing my “tackle”. An older guy was trying to do the same.. when another man, with his 2 young sons changing without any embarassement said “we’re all made the same”… He was right – we drew more attention to ourselves by trying not to “expose our genitals” than other men in the changing room who didn’t give a damn…

Sometimes us straight guys do it to size up the other guys. Im not gay, some times I used to think I was but Im not. We all have male and female genes in our bodies and they are fighting for control of your body. When you lose your testosterone you start feeling girly. If your straight and worried, just stop drinking sodas and eating unhealthy. Start supplementing some testosterone and you’ll be a man again.

In access to what “pontypool” says, really wake the “f**K” up! I’m a straight man in a relationship for over three years, and seriously what the hell is with all of this?
I love the ridiculous fact that when one man looks at another mans privates he might be “gay”. Come on already. It’s just an appendage, not “Pandora’s Box” for heavens sake. And just in case your wondering, I’m an artist, I see plenty of people both male and female nude. That’s the secret, “nude” not naked…
I love those paranoid guys at the gym, who struggle to put their shorts on under their towel. “OH my god now you’ve seen my penis, you must be gay! And now that I’ve seen you seeing my penis “I” must be gay! Oh how will I survive?”
Grow up! So all men in the military are gay?
And all men on the football team are gay? And so on, and and so on…
You really can’t look at someone else and say “Wow, that’s a short dick” or “that’s a big set of nuts” and just leave it at that?
Really, how senseless are you?
If you don’t like it, don’t look. But it won’t make you blind or “gay” if you do, it’s just common sense.

In the Shower. Yes. Always and Absolutely. You got to have developed glaucoma if you don’t see other dude’s dicks in the shower. Not the dude next to you but across from you. And taking a long warm shower after hard work is nice!

On the Urinal: Never. This is rude. Peeing is a semi private activity, halfway to taking a dumb. So be quite, stare to the wall and don’t even try to talk.

Locker Room: This is where the friendly and harmless look in the shower can become a “homo stare”. So no, and don’t ever try. Reason: It only OK looking at other’s nakedness when you are also completely naked. Otherwise you’ll put someone on the spot or create an awkward situation. Certainly you don’t want to be put on that spot, right?

C’mon guys, everyone glances, not, ‘look up and down’ but innocent looks. Guys do a lot of sizing up while watching porn. I know its not the same as being physically in a urinal, with other dudes; but guys like to know where they size up in the competition.

I can’t help but feel that it is “subjective” at “the end of the day”… At some point in their lives, men are going to observe other men’s genitals – simple as… It’s “not a done thing” to look at another man in the “mens room”, but in mens showers, it’s gonna happen – it ain’t as if every guys gonna be looking at the floor/the ceiling etc. I think it’s a “natural thing” to look at at another man’s genitals “in passing” – it doesn’t mean that they are gay… maybe comparing size, etc, whatever…. Let’s not get “so hung up” about a str8 guy observing another man’s genitals…

Geez, do you reckon that our ancestor “cave men/women” had this discussion – they observed genitals for what they were, simple as. We are “too hung up” about “perceived” homosexuality etc. As to the recent trend of trimmed/shaved pubic area, “don’t even go there” – guess there will be some cosmetic cream/scent/aroma available – if there isn’t already…
