Girls only please. Hostel showers, curious how other women would have reacted?

I have been in that situation, especially in dance studios or theatres (I am in Europe) I also live in a place where there are a lot of top-less beaches. I agree with Troll Shark, they are just other bodies and well, accidental contacts happen, dressed or undressed...let's be lucky our bodies are complete!!

I think if all of us were more used to our nakedness and the nakedness of others, it would stop to be the so big deal it is ;-)

It is amazing to me how many people would not take a shower simply because there was some innocent nudity involved. My wife and I have visited a nude resort, where there are several outdoor showers. It's quite common to hop in after swimming or exercising - and it is healthier to clean the toxins from your skin! There's nothing wrong with some simple nudity. As far as the accidental contact, well, he apologized... you have to gauge for yourself how the situation was, and if it was really an accident or not. If you're fairly certain it was an accident, then move on and don't worry about it too much! If the guy was a bit creepy and you think he did it on purpose, just avoid him. No biggie either way.

Lets reverse it shall we? Then I am sure we will answer your question.

Suppose a girl, accidentally brushed her boobies against a guy's back. Hmmm.... How could he possibly have reacted?

Well, I'll tell you. He would have welcomed it, saying it was OK, especially if the girl said she was sorry and moved on.

About the co-ed shower. Well, do not try to convince me that the moment you decided to step in that shower room, you actually thought that nothing would have happened. I mean you must have been expecting a weird accident, or something.

It's not like they were having a big pile of monkey sex. We've all seen a penis, boobs, and asses (I hope). It's called nature. Nature is beautiful.

So an accidental brushing of a penis? He said he was sorry and moved on, don't worry about it. At least he didn't poke or slap you with it and smile strangely at you, THAT would be something to worry about.

There are many places in this world where people bathe together. Men and women at the same time. It's because they're not prudish little kids. Most Americans have really messed up associations with nudity. I see this and I'm American. Oh well, I'll just hang out with the mature people and the rest can go bicker at each other for having penises, boobs or some such.

Sadly, this is a perfect example of how North American society views nudity and the NATURAL human body...

It's perfectly OK to show someone getting shot to death on TV (or in a PG movie) - but the second a breast shows up on the screen, it's ADULTS ONLY!!!

The human body is the most NATURAL thing in the world - we all have one, and it only becomes tantalizing because our society chooses to cover it up at ALL times...

There aren't perverts going around staring at the naked (or at least topless) women in African tribes - and topless (or fully nude) beaches in Europe are PEFRECTLY normal.

All this came about because our society was founded by PURITANS - who fled the "old world" because they were being persecuted (and ridiculed) for their ultra-strict beliefs. One of the biggest among them involved what they saw as "decency"...

I have been to Holland and didn't notice this kinda of nudity, except the regular topless on the beach European standard. I probably would have never showered there, but if that did happen, I'm too passionate to have just walked away...I would have probably gone off verbally and other than that I'm not sure there is much I could have done, if it was claimed to be accidental. I would have had to hold myself back from spitting or slapping him...cuz I wouldnt have wanted to get into a naked wrestling match---that would have defeated the purpose. lol

When in Rome....

I would have gone for it! I think it would be especially interesting to do since it was normal for everyone there.

The bump would have made me blush, but I wouldn't have thought much of it.

I'd have refused to shower---noway would I get naked in front of a bunch of men! Bad enough to do so in gym shower situations with other girls but at least they are girls. I can't believe people actually go for that set up of co-ed showers!

It never ceases to amaze me how women, especially American women, think their bodies are somehow "special" or "unviewable"

Let's see: two arms, two legs, a torso, a couple boobs, internal sex organs (possibly further obscured by a patch of hair), and a pair of cheeks. That pretty much describes HALF the population. Nope - nothing special there. I mean, it's not like the Grand Canyon or Halley's Comet.

Actually, I'm more intrigued by the naked man's "obviously large penis." what exactly do you mean by "obviously large"? Is that different than "deceptively large" or "suprisingly large"? Then again, you did say you were standing 1 foot away from him. That would mean either his penis was "obviously large" or your butt was.

it's Holland! different culture, big deal..
