Not witnessed by me (thankfully!) but my 15-year old daughter just started guarding at the Y where I swim. She came home from work the other night and told us that during her shift, one of the guards was doing the rounds of the showers/locker room etc and happened upon an elderly gent, um..
enthusiastically enjoying himself on a bench in the locker room. The guard told him to stop and the old guy's response was to ask for a little more time "because he was almost done".
Ended up with the police being called, and the guards restricting access to the locker area until the police showed up and charged him with whatever it is they charge you with for spanking the monkey in a Y locker room.
Unfortunately I have been a witness to The Spanker / Self Manipulator. 2-3 seasons ago I returned to the locker room after my swim and as usual, headed for the showers. This is a row of 6 individual stalls with solid doors (except for the one that was removed, I use that stall for my pre-swim rinse down), and one more accessible stall with a curtain, folding bench, handrails and hand held shower wand. For reasons I don't understand, some folks do the naked thing in the open stall, or like this lady, in a stall with door in open swing stance. I generally avert my eyes from the immodest people but her crouching down caught my attention.... and then the sight of her finger in her genitals. OMFG, WHY? Why the hell would you do that in an opened stall with your squatted crotch facing toward the opened door???.
This is high up on my list of things I wish I could un-see.
Just last month a post on the Women for Tri Facebook group caught my attention, regarding spontaneous emissions of locked up fluid following time spent in water / swimming. If you don't know, this can occur hours later and if you don't happen to be wearing a pad / liner, it feels a bit like wetting your pants and leaves you feeling icky in wet undies (
er, or so I'm told?). One commenter included a link to an informative article listing methods for encouraging emission at more convenient times, such as by using the toilet or by inserting a finger vaginally while showering.
So while my feelings of "close the door, you perve!" still stand, I guess it's possible this denizen's actions were preventative rather than for self gratification.
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.
