Friend let me share his locker room cubicle after swimming club. Getting changed together honestly broke my awkwardness around casual nudity. We hung around for months before getting closer. Anyone else feel weird the first time seeing another guy naked?

Seeing guys naked at swimming or in changing rooms used to completely overload my inexperienced brain. I’d be awkward, shy, kind of turned on, comparing myself to everyone, the whole thing. Then at swimming club I met this older bi guy who was way more relaxed than me and somehow made all of it feel normal.

We started by just talking before lessons, then walking to the showers together, getting changed in cubicles next to each other, and eventually sharing one if it was busy. He was confident but super chill about everything, which honestly made me relax fast. I’d never had a friendship like that before, especially with someone attractive who genuinely didn’t care that I was chubbier or more awkward.

At first I could barely look at him naked without panicking, but after months of being around him I stopped caring and actually got comfortable with casual nudity. Eventually things escalated and we ended up experimenting together. Weirdly one of the most memorable parts wasn’t even the hookup stuff, it was how relaxed and normal he made everything feel.

Still speak to him today lol.
