Showering while being a man with a rather small dick. And next to no experience to pass naked.
I recently transfered to another College. I’m now living in a student’s dormitory with around 30 people. This is meant not just as a cheap housing facility but also as a rather close-knit community that lives together, spending time with various activities like music, partying and literally anything a housemate brings into the group. For instance, one housemate cooks for the whole place every evening with a rotating system.
We live on two floors. On every floor there are one bathroom and one shower room for either traditional binary genders. The shower room provides three sinks opposite two shower cubicles, seperated by a wall between them, but no curtain, just a plain glass door towards the room. The door cannot be locked.
I experienced some minor shallow breathing during my first days there. I showered as short as possible and even skipped my dear habit to brush my teeth while showering. Slowly, I felt more secure. Mostly people seem to avoid entering the shower room at all if they hear somebody using it. Last week I started to take longer showers, even getting back to my toothbrushing preference.
Today was the day someone came in while I was showering. I simply turned slightly towards the wall as if it were a cis-driven movement. The other man just took something from the shelves and went out immediately.
I’m very proud I took the situation without skipping the occasional heartbeat. I felt quite normal and confident. I remembered that I’m a man and men of any origin have the right to take a shower in their bathrooms, that I belong and that I gonna be save. I’m content that I reclaimed the space that cis-norms nearly deprived me from.
