I know now that my local YMCA has two separate dressing rooms for men. A family dressing room for kids and parents and those who don't want to go nude. Plus an adult dressing room where nudity is more common. You definitely see more nudity in the adult dressing room. I stopped going to that one because I was getting creeped out by the way guys were looking at me. Turn to find out that there were complaints about our local YMCA for what I was feeling.
I also know that there is an undocumented lawsuit against the YMCA for male predidation on other males and not doing anything to address the issue in the adult locker rooms. I know this for a fact because a very close friend of mine is the one handling the case and he submitted the papers to a YMCA national board member himself. Nudity isn't the problem in the dressing room it is male cruising.
an excerpt from the Courthouse News Service. This was this guys 3rd and worst incident.
"A short time later, after a workout, Keister entered the sauna. No one else was in the sauna when Keister entered.
"Soon, another man entered the sauna and sat down while Keister was reading a newspaper.
"Suddenly, and seemingly out of nowhere, the man reached over and firmly grabbed Keister's penis, yanking on it, and would not let it go.
"Shocked, Keister grabbed the man's arm, pried the man's hand off his penis and yelled in disbelief.
If you wan't to find the whole article you can google YMCA male dressing room issues and you can't miss it. It's at the top.
I stopped being a part of the Nude dressing room before I found out about this lawsuit. When I heard about it, i connect some dots to things i witnessed. I was a little oblivious to my surroundings. Turns out my YMCA is going to be a part of this lawsuit.
I am all for nudity... that is why I am here. There are some things that happen that do not help the Naturist movement. Unfortunately this is one of them.
