No Underwear, No Worries
It happened again. I went to the gym late Friday afternoon. Packed up all the important stuff. Street clothes, towel, socks, shaving gear and shower stuff stays in the gym bag. Underwear. At least I thought so. Finished the workout – lower body and abdominals. Got a good sweat. Grabbed a shave – including the head. Went to get my stuff for the shower. That’s when I noticed. Darn it, I did it again! No undies. What to do? I didn’t want to go home all smelly. It’s a lot easier to shower at the gym (I know this is a male phenomenon. Women never shower at the gym. I don’t even know why they bother installing showers in the women’s locker room.) As usual, I decided to take the path of least resistance. Shower, dry off, ge creatine monohydrate t out, go bareback for the few minutes it takes to get home. In another time all my attention would be focused on whether or not another guy saw me put jeans on without underwear. Now I have two thoughts about that… 1. Anyone who stares at me while I get dressed – well I’m not too worried about social customs. It’s not polite to stare at naked guys getting dressed. 2. (The important one) It’s liberating to be free from the opinion of others. There are some good reasons for wearing underwear under jeans. It prevents chafing, it keeps things in place (too much information?) and more you don’t really want me to get into. There are also a lot of reasons we do things that outlived their original purposes a long time ago.
