Is this normal?

[Betsy71]

DH and I are both members of our local gym. He insists on telling me, in some detail, the er... dimensions of any well blessed man he sees in the changing room. I do try to humour him a bit but I'm not sure this is normal or healthy! There are some men I can't look in the eye now in the spin class!

Erm. Does he tend to... overshare about other subjects?

If he does, then maybe it's normal for him. You're still allowed to threaten him with a kitchen knife if you hear about one more random stranger's danglers

No, just this really. Might try the kitchen knife approach if it carries on though! Don't know what he's trying to achieve by telling me. Does he thInk I'm going to be impressed in some way or other?!

Cock measuring? Normal male behaviour.

They just don't normally share this out loud. Let me guess he is massssiiiiivvvvv

No, just normal I think. Guessed that men do this, but assumed they kept it to themselves!

You would be amazed if you went in a male changing room. Loads of blokes seem to be actually spending time showing off what they have. My wife was surprised when I told her that most showers in mens changing rooms are almost communal (ie no doors just a slight divide). I have seen men showering with their backs to the wall and spending ages soaping themselves for way too long! Maybe some are gay. Who knows?

Why he tells you god knows? Maybe he wants you to share stories on what you see in the female rooms!

Think you might be onto something there about the female changing rooms but there's really nothing to report! He tells me it's all communal and some men strut around starkers (mainly the ones with big willies it seems). Hmmm...

They do...It is odd believe me! You literally have to see it to believe it.

:) tries to picture the scene.....

That's a bit strange!

Quite normal. I worked in a male dominated area. One of the blokes was nicknamed tripod, cos of being so well-endowed. Said with a kind of reverence...

Tell him to take some pictures with his phone next time. I'm sure we'd all like to examine the evidence.

Believe me, he would if I suggested it!

Maybe I'll just play along with it, could be fun.....or do,you think this will just encourage him?

Maleview, that's (thankfully?) not the experience I've had with changing rooms!

The only man I know that used to tell me, in enormous detail, about the goings on in the gym changing rooms was one that came out a year or two later - much to his wife's dismay - as being gay. Big gay meeting point gyms are, apparently. Be prepared.... :)

I find this very, very odd. Do you think he is fishing for reassurance? I certainly do my very best to not look at blokes cocks while in the showers, I think he might be gay.

No its not normal, at all to either take that much notice or to tell you about it unless he is thinking of swinging. Maleview if I was you I would change Gyms !!!

My dh would avoid looking at other cocks like the plague!

As a straight man, I have never discussed the cock sizes of other men with another man and very rarely with a woman unless they instigated the conversation. So to me, this behaviour is unusual. Do you think that your DH fantasises about seeing you with another man? -perhaps he is hoping that you find this a turn on.

My DH would be very embarassed and would not want to discuss it with anyone, least of all me. I do remember a bloke in work telling me how he couldn't stand the way some blokes gaze at themselves in the mirror when lifting weights. I guess this is similar but it would be better if your DH said he couldn't stand blokes strutting around the changing area.

I think possible reasons for this activity is that some blokes have massive egos, some are bi and some are gay.

I would tell DH that strutting around naked and looking at other men's bits in the changing room sounds very gay indeed and you don't want to hear it as it makes you feel a bit ill. Hopefully he will stop then! :)

My DH once saw a man stand with his backs to the showers, bend over, reach behind, spread out his buttocks, and spend some considerable period letting the shower-jet give his exposed anus a jolly good rinse.

He never went back again.

August. Yeah the mirror gazing is . . . well . . . a sign of a twat!

I agree with telling him it sounds gay. Perhaps ask why he keeps looking and talking about it, "did you want to suck him off?" should stop him going on about it, unless the answer is yes.

Lumpy. Holy crap that's minging!

So the consensus is to confront him and tell him that this is all a bit er...gay? He's there at the moment so might be an opportunity later. Do you think it's odd that he only really tells me about the well endowed ones?

DH says its not necessarily gay ... Just a bit weird!
