I now have enough skin to retain with an O-Ring. I now wear it all the time and I only wear the ManHood at night and during very important events. I even wear the O-Ring to the gym and I shower with it on.

I am better combating my fear of nudity. Every single day I go to the gym at 7:00 am (1:00 pm on Weekends) and I now follow a criteria to be naked as long as possible without wasting my time. When I show up I place my clean clothes on hooks and I make sure that I have a towel and washcloth available on another hook. I then change into shorts and I fill up my 32 oz. water bottle.

After I run on the treadmill for 30 minutes (15-20 minutes on Fridays because of my Psychology lab at 8:00 am) and finish drinking my water I make my way back to the locker room. The moment I walk in I take my shirt off then I get to my locker. I then remove my shoes and socks and then my shorts and underwear. I proceed to remove the lock in the nude and I quickly put my clothes in and put on flip flops. I grab my soap and a washcloth and towel but I do not wear the towel.

I proceed to walk to the shower nude. The showers are individual stalls and I pull the curtain back because I don't want anyone stealing my towel. After I am done I walk back to my locker without drying off since the locker area is carpeted. I open my locker and I put my now dirty clothes into plastic bags. After I get my stuff together I use the towel to dry off. Once I am done I put the towel back into my locker and close my locker and then I start getting dressed so I can leave.

Yesterday I weighted myself completely nude at the gym, I feel so liberated.

I hope that more men start being this comfortable with themselves and maybe more gyms will be built with an open shower system. Once I shower in one of those then I will finally have eliminated my fear of being nude around others.
