Shower rooms.
Locker rooms.
Jockstraps.
The words alone cast a drowsy, aphrodisiacal spell on us. And it’s no wonder. They take us back to the days when the jumble of adolescent male bodies in a high school locker room was the first place, as far as our secret desires were concerned, where the rubber met the road.
Our first sight of a jockstrap might have been in the mirror but it didn’t take on real force until it was glimpsed making its grooved, scooping way around a buoyant pouch, just slightly above eye-level as we sat tying our sneaker amid the slam of locker doors.
The trio of shower room, locker room and jockstrap has been plot enough for many a porn film, and as soon as we see the familiar bench in a deserted room with a row of lockers looking on like somber tin soldiers, we pretty much know what’s up ahead. Blowjob City: Population 2. With casual walk-ins dropping their towels and swelling our small town to, at times, an orgiastic metropolis. (Bukkake Nation, anyone?) Then everyone ends up in the shower for a bangup reprise, but with different partners. Wash, rinse, repeat.
The locker room is the perfect — to be exact, the mythic — setting for classic gay preoccupations.
The casual nudity, the boisterous energy, the echoing voices in the shower room, the promise of a chance meeting in out-of-the-way cul-de-sacs where a glance might linger more than you would expect — these are experiences common to all locker rooms.
Gay and straight are there to build their bodies — but for different purposes. For gay men, it’s about the body you want to fuck; for straights, the body you don’t want to fuck with!
In homo fiction and porn films, writes Brian Pronger, a professor of philosophy at Toronto University who specialized in physical education, “athleticism is sexually fetishized as indicative of a particularly ‘hot’ male body, promising the eroticism of an especially robust sexual scene”
Male potency, externalized by powerful arms, legs and buttocks, is localized in hung and abundantly heavy genitalia. The well hung, well built man, is, in fact, the central tribal preoccupation of the culture at large, which gay men take to its most full-blown expression. (Though some might argue that battle ships, jet fighters, and atomic bombs with their “heavy loads” are more blatant and dangerous formulations.)
“Athletic training,” Pronger observes, “is the means by which bodies are made into hyperreal objects of homoerotic desire.” In this context his take on the “coyness” of magazines in the style of Men’s Fitness is particularly tart:
Here, barely submerged homoerotic subtexts permeate advice on how to transform one’s body into the paradigmatic gay athletic body.
In these publications, fairly scanty technical texts are amply supplemented with photographs of athletic men exercising or just sitting around looking beautiful.
The men’s muscle and fitness literature has replaced an earlier homoerotic genre: books and magazines about dance, such as After Dark Magazine, which in turn was the successor to the earlier 20th-century physical culture magazines. This form allows the homoerotic content of a publication to be masked by the ostensible “legitimacy” of exercise, art, or culture.
It is only in frankly homo fiction and pornography that the locker room comes into its own. And the most important athletic equipment to be found there, Pronger writes, is the jockstap, “often portrayed as the quintessential homoerotic garment.”
The jockstrap is a “ritual robe” that “enshrines” masculinity, contends Pronger in The Arena of Masculinity: Sports, Homosexuality, and the Meaning of Sex — his cult classic study, which features the sort of dense scholarly writing that make our own attempts at purple prose strictly junior efforts.
“The straps that originate in the top elastic circumscribe the buttocks and disappear in the anus, bringing us to that place where masculinity meets its mythic undoing. And so, as suggested by the versatility of Apollo, there are two sides to the jockstrap that symbolize the homoerotic paradox: the pouch in the front as the shrine of masculinity joined to the straps in the back framing its mythic violation.”
Mythic undoing? Mythic violation! Mythic, sure — we like turning our life into a soap opera as much as the next Joe. But undoing? That’s a whole lot of jockstrap extrapolation to swallow. In the meantime, as we have said may times before at Nightcharm, theory is great, but fuck that shit: We just want to dance!
As staunch Friends of the Jockstrap (undoing indeed!), we turn to “Gay Pimp” (a.k.a Jonny McGovern) who in the space of a catchy disco ditty and one hell of a hot video says all that the professor meant to say and should have said — but with a lot of pretty boys wagging their pretty things at us.
Now that’s how we like to get undone. Long live the Locker Room!
Boys in the shower come from the

They’re just too posed and set up and lacking in erotic fizz you get with masters of the art like Cadenot and Bon Ami in some of their stills
Seen it before, but it stays good humor
I recently came across that music video and found it incredibly validating as a young gay man whose only reasons for being in a locker room were not because of a visit to the local gym. They were instead part of a forced semblance of adolescent males in a time period deemed “Phys Ed” in an institution called “school”. Such situations, though obviously “normal” for most boys, have a special place in the lives of gay men. Feeling judged against the dynamically changing bodies of one’s peers juxtaposed alongside utter longing for them is, I believe, unique for queer males. Desiring what one doesn’t have (in this case, often doubly presented) can often lead to a sense of inferiority. Here, however, in Jonny McGovern’s video, we are presented with an alternative outlook – one I wish I’d witnessed long ago. The lust-filled locker room homos are not sobbing in lack. They are the wolves…confident in their desires and on the prowl. The switch from sexual shame to sexual empowerment lies in mere perspective.
This site never ceases to amaze me. I love the balance of pure erotica and thoughtful articles.
Some gay men never lose their love for the locker room. Just check out Golds’ gym or the gym at Market and Castro in San Francisco. There are many still parading around in jockstraps and many of us “enjoying the view.”
As soon as I saw the “gay pimp” on his shirt, I woulda ran away, thats too mnay guys to be butt fucked by all at once.
o how i fucking love the locker room. i (along with every other gay fucker out there) have had many gay fantasies take place in the locker room. i mean think about it, all of those dicks just wagging around with no one caring who sees. in fact, as i am writing this, i am hard thinking of my own personal expierence in a locker room. after swim practice once i was showering and and my coach walked in and then stripped down and began to shower. long story short we ended up masterbating together and i sucked his dick for a loooooooong time. it is things like this that make gay men fucking love the locker room.
good butnot gay enough and must take ff pants and let everybody see and fuck.
I’ll never forget my high school days when our P.E. teacher would strip down naked and join us in the shower. Back then it was no big deal, nowadays if a teacher were to do this he would be accused of being some kind of pervert and surely arrested.Those were the good ole days!
wow what pictures. i masturbated and scrolled down. i love these pics. i love the shower and the locker room. its so sexy. we fuck alll day long.
is this for real… that was so friken embarrasing i covered my face in shame and pity. it was somewhat humorous, cause it was so bad it was funny. lol.
I ended up licking and slobbering all over my teamates hard cock after a soccer practice in a locker room.I loved locker rooms.Some guys used to parade around in jockstraps

you need more pics of guys showering
In the end the locker room is just a place for people to change into their athletic clothes so they don’t get their regular clothes sweaty — or the change out of their regular clothes and wash up so they don’t get their regular clothes sweaty. It’s just function, and it’s very simple. Does it really deserve all that much analysis?
It’s a nice place to be, though.
i enjoy pics of guys showering

i love going to the ymca or athletic club and watching men shower, sometimes i get hard watching them and it turns other ppl on, and than they get hard..this usually leads to giving each other head in the locker room, if not i just love looking at old,young hairy cocks just dangling and sweet or water dripping of it!
my boyfriend has abigger dick than urs
I enjoy jacking off to pictures of men sucking and fucking. My fantasy is to enjoy a day with another man sucking and who knows what else! I was a teenager the last time I enjoyed the taste of a nice HARDD COCK! I guess all I can do is fantaSIZE about it now.
It reminds me of when i was in football and all the guys didnt know i was gay and i would pop a boner. and jack of inthe corner. one day (no lie) i went to my coaches office and told him he didnt encourage people enough. so he said u need encouragment
well then ok. so he told me to sit down soo i did and he started to unzip my pants. instead of sitting there so did i well to him. and it went on from there. lets just say i went for encouragment everyday
i remember my pe teacher would always wear these really high shorts and his legs were hairy and sexy, boy did i fantasize!
I’m a straight 21 year old guy. Today I went for a swim and when I was showering this guy about my age and build came in and started showering next to me, no big deal. Well, I glanced down and noticed he had a huge boner and then I got one. I just hoped it would go away but he started jacking off right next to me and then I started jacking off, he reached over and grabbed my cock and started giving me a hand job and then he got on his knees and started sucking me off. I couldn’t believe it. Is this normal? I’ve never done anything like that before, I thought stuff like that just happened in porno.

hey were do you guys live? were i live anyone even gettin a boner in the shower would get abuse screamed at them!
Our middle-school locker room offered two curtained shower stalls besides the conventional open shower. I always went in one of the stalls to change clothes because I didn’t want to get caught looking at the godlike (to me, anyway) physiques of my classmates and I didn’t want people laughing at my own underdeveloped form.
So I ended up catching hell for being that prude who wouldn’t get undressed in front of anybody, and in retrospect it probably made my covert gayness that much more obvious. Can’t win for losing…
As it was, the locker room helped me finally understand that my attraction to the male form was no mere fluke–I was hard-wired to like guys. At some point there’s no more ignoring the elephant in the room… especially when it has such a nice, long trunk.
I was on the Varsity Football, Wrestling and Lacrosse Teams at school and I remember the good times we use to have in the locker room after practices and games. We would all strip down naked and run around in the locker room nude. We use to have contests in the shower room. “Biggest Cock Contest” “Furthest Shooter Contest” and we would have team soap fights. We would break up into two teams in the shower room and run around trying not to get hit with the bar of soap. If you got hit you were out. The guy who remained at the end of the game got to be washed down by the rest of the guys on the team. It was a lot of fun.
hey guys im scared to fuck other boys in locker room cus ppl will tell every1…
i use to shower in locker room with my swim instructor and he sucked my dick all the time
we use to shave our dicks together too

After football practice I went to the locker rooms and when I went in the guys started stripping then I went in the shower and I wanted 2 fuck this guy and he wanted to fuck me so everyday we’d all go into da showers and FUCK each other and once one guy gave me a blowjob. It was the best days of my life

i love the locker room i get hard thinking about it. i had many hot guys in my class and it was hard not to get hard. one time i had a hot friend over and we went in the hot tub naked and then showered together. rubbing our cocks and asses together. after the shower we 69 and jacked eachother off. i have a huge hard on just thinking about it.
