Found on the Web: Reports of Forced Nudity The Sequel Part 2
Compiled by Childe Harold
(If you have any comments, observations, some especially juicy accounts
I may have missed, or just want to discuss the subject, contact the
administrator, who will forward you email to me, and I will respond.)
This second section consists of accounts of male nude swimming with
female teachers/lifeguards. These consist of accounts primarily from
the boys themselves.
If you notice a leitmotif here,
it's swimming. That's because it was the most common instance of
forced, mandatory male nudity in the past. Most people under
fifty don't seem to realize that males of all ages were required to
swim nude in high schools, YMCAs and colleges up through the late
seventies to early eighties, without regard to the sex of their teacher
or lifeguard.
This section is much longer than the
last; in fact, I decided to limit it to fifty entries. The last
section, the teachers themselves commenting, was shorter because, as
one poster said, “Somewhere in this forum, someone raises the question
of why women who lifeguarded or otherwise supervised boys swimming in
the nude haven't commented. The reason is that we usually get savagely
attacked when we do.”
The boys are more likely to
comment, apparently. Personally, I have no doubt these
happened. As I said, I knew a woman who was a lifeguard in a pool
with nude male swimmers. Only two of these posts (numbers 23 and
24) give me any reason to doubt. Those two seem like they could
be fiction, just based on the style of writing; but, on the other hand,
they could be real, and just recounted by a talented author.
1-****, the second and youngest of my female instructors, an attractive
woman in her 20s (I think) was the one who certified me for my Junior
Lifesaving certificate, a very proud achievement in my young swimming
career. She was an excellent swimmer, and looked great in a tank suit,
too. Those of us who got it had to, among other things, demonstrate
that we could "save" a fellow swimmer by swimming toward "shore" with
one arm around his neck, thereby dragging his immobile ("lifeless" as
it were) body through the water. I was so good at it that she
demonstrated the proper technique to the class by dragging my immobile,
but hardly lifeless, body through the water, she suited, me nude, for
the length of the pool. Ah, how times have changed... (Voy

2-I went to a small
private school in the midlands in the late 80's-91 where younger boys
swam nude in front of female instructors. We had small swimming classes
of about 10-12 boys of similar swimming ability. It took me about
2 years to learn to swim as I was fairly scared and the pool was
intimidating, very deep at the deep end and Victorian looking. So
during this time I was naked and freezing for an hour a week in front
of a female instructor and her female assistant from the sixth form
(17-18 I guess).
It was a small school and although
traditional there were a limited number of staff so situations occurred
that probably wouldn't have done at a bigger school. Things could get a
bit informal or ad hoc. The swimming instructor was quite old and her
boss older. I think there was definitely an attitude of the younger
boys have nothing to hide.
The swimming teacher also doubled as the school nurse as well as other roles, so she was in a position to know!
It was very embarrassing to begin with and also for the first lesson or
two when the assistant changed. I was taller than the other boys so I
felt it made me stand out. The assistants new I was a bit older so it
was even more embarrassing that apart from my height I was no different
to the other boys. Once a girl from my year when I was14 came in on an
errand and saw me standing naked by the edge of the pool with the other
boys. She just raised eyebrows, smiled and said " hi *** don't get too
cold", I nearly died!
Having to walk through the
changing room full of girls only happened when things overrran, but it
was definitely a manifestation of the young boys have nothing to
hide/are not modest attitude. To be honest when naked with the other
boys I did feel pretty young in the presence of the girls which is why
I think we didn't really cover up. It was embarrassing but they were
like women and we were all still young boys me included despite my age.
Spanking was allowed at the school and during lessons
we were taken to one side and received a couple of smacks on our
bottoms standing up. For some reason it was very effective and even at
14 I would cry straight away probably because our bottoms were wet so
it hurt more along with the frontal nudity which in that situation made
me feel very infantile.
Occasionally other female sports staff came in but they took little notice of us.
I should also add that I agree, I probably shouldn't have been naked or
checked in front of her it was embarressing. However she was very nice
to me as she new I was scared and helped me overcome my fear of the
deep end. After I winded myself, jumping into as deep a water as she
could get me to, she took me to the side and rubbed my back while a sat
on her lap and occasionally she would pat me on the bottom. None of
this felt inappropriate and on occasions such as this I wasn't
embarrassed to be naked in front of her at all but neither was there
any sexual element to it.
At the beginning of my
swimming lessons, described above, we were also examined/checked by our
female swimming instructor. It was done as we sat on the ledge around
the edge of the pool by the windows. The instructor would walk along
and we had to lift our feet up on to the ledge and lean back with our
knees bent and legs spread. She looked at our feet and bottoms and
would sometimes spread our cheeks. She also looked briefly at our
genitals. For those boys that it was necessary she would also sometimes
lift the testicles with a finger. On a couple of occasions she asked me
to retract my foreskin as far as it would go, she then just said "OK"
and walked on. This happened to other boys as well. She said all this
was to look for things like verrucas and check we were clean. At 13 and
14 this was a bit embarrassing for me, but again most boys didn't seem
to care. The assistant had a good view of all this as she would usually
be standing at one end or the other. It was more embarressing if I was
sitting close to where she was of course. Both times I had to "retract"
she was close by. I was a bit flustered by this which along with the
cold made things difficult and my fumbling drew a smile from her which
made it hard to look her in the face for the rest of the lesson!
The instructor rarely spent more than a couple of seconds with each
boy. Often she walked down the line stopping at no-one. Most of the
time it was a visual check. If a boy had verrucas or was wearing a
verrucas sock it seemed to be then that she might look under his
testicles and I guess if they needed to be lifted to see underneath she
did. This did not happen to me as my testicles had not yet dropped. As
for having to retract our foreskin, again it was usually if she saw
something or had issue with something else. For me, both times I was
also wearing verruca socks and the end of my penis was red on one
occasion. The week before I had told her about it stinging in the
water. Although I was sometimes quite embarrassed, humiliated might be
a bit strong. We were used to being naked infront of our instructor and
the assistant. As mentioned above I was not embarressed at the end of
one lesson to tell her that the end of my penis was stinging while
standing naked in front of her. I was mainly embarrassed about my lack
of development and hated the fact that I was one of the "smaller boys"
despite my age and height and that the assistant just saw me as
another, probably "cute", little boy, because I had shrunk so
much due to being wet.

3-There always seemed to be a student teacher working under one of our
teachers. In the early 70s with Title IX, it was interpreted that
student teachers should be allowed to teach in single sex PE classes of
the opposite sex. It wasn't an issue for guys teaching the girls who
wore swim suits. But that meant that 20 or 21 year old female student
teachers would be supervising the boys swim classes, some of which had
guys 17 and 18 years old.
As senior we always had the
most fun with this. Much of the class was swimming laps for extended
periods...so we took turns getting out of the pool to ask the student
teacher some pressing question so that we were face to face with her.
Some tried to maintain eye contact and some made no effort at all and
checked us out head to toe. THAT was the idea!
I grew
up in a fairly tight knit community and had family pretty close. One of
my student teachers was a female cousin. We were close, but she never
saw me naked before. That was a little awkward at first when I walked
out naked into the pool area and she stood there looking at me. After
the first time it was just so normal. We would stand there talking
after class about family stuff or the weekend...she's clothed and I'm
naked.
There were some times that she had to get in
the water with us to teach certain strokes or to improve technique.
This was all hands on, and sometimes I would get hard with her
supporting me in the water--either me on my back or front. She got to
know my friends and me real well! LOL (Dickflash)
4-We were also most definitely naked in front of female coaches, and we
had several, younger women from University of Michigan who were very
tough and knew their stuff. I remember one day after a tough
practice we lined up beside the pool and she really dressed down
several of us (I for one) who had been “lagging,” as she said (not
working hard enough). All the boys were looking at me, and this
caused me to go hard pretty quickly, so that not only was I singled
out, I had a full erection at attention with my hands behind my
back. This was the only time I felt embarrassed out this; she did
not recognize my erection at all, and I got only mild kidding about it
later on –it was taken as a sign of my strong heterosexuality, when in
reality it was something quite different. I often got hard at
stressful times, and once at the beginning of a big examination I had a
spontaneous ejaculation in pants. That was not
enjoyable. (Tumbler)
5-I Swam Naked When I was younger my mom enrolled me in a swim class.
It was at the local pool. On the day of the first class I grabbed my
suit and headed to the pool with my mom. When got there I saw the
locker room and went it. I found a locker and began putting my stuff in
it when I noticed a sign, it said no young boys were allowed to wear
swim suits in the pool. This immediately made me stiff with fear. I
decided to wear my suit anyway and hoped that it was just for babies
and kids younger than me. I walked outside found my mom and headed to
the area of the pool that ss was in. As I got closer I saw a few other
boys with swim suits on and I felt relieved. I waited a few minutes and
then finally my swim instructor walked up. It was a blonde high school
girl. She looked like she was on the swim team at err high school and
she was very pretty. She got in the water slowly and then said "Ok,
suits off. Get in boys." I was shocked at what she said. I looked at
the other boys who just pulled off their suits and jumped in. I
couldn't believe it. I was finally the only one not in the pool. The
instructor looked at me and waited. I didn't want to expose myself to
the whole pool, but I also didn't want to be the only one not to swim.
I looked around for my mom, but she was long gone; she must have been
in the stands somewhere watching. The teacher was still looking me. I
looked back at her and she said "Lets go, drop em'" I don't have all
day. Something came over me and I yanked down my suit and jumped in. I
hoped that she couldn't see me underwater, but I knew she could. I
began getting an erection. She decided that the first thing we were
going to do was learn to float. She said first on our stomach then on
our backs. She looked at me and said you first. Shover to me and waited
for me to float on my stomach. I tried, but all I did was sink. She
placed her hand on my stomach and tried to help me, but it t work. She
then used her other hand also, but this time she put it lower. She put
her hand right on my penis and lifted me up. I got an even bigger
erection then and I became embarassed. The instructor just looked at me
like nothing was wrong and then she removed her hands and I realized I
was floating. She then proceded to teach everyone else to float.
Finally after everyone was floating she came back to me and said flip
over. I didn't want to, but I did slowly. She put her hand on my but
this time and supported me. As I was floating my penis was on display
to everyone at the pool. I looked nervously at my instructor and she
just smiled. She moved on to the next person and I immediately
underwater to try and hide. She swam back over thinking that I was
drowning and pulled me up. She looked at me and said " You can get out
now and go home, you are done for today." I was glad it was over, but
also a little sad I think. This was the firI was ever naked in front of
anyone besides my family. (Experience Project)
6-When I was at secodary school in the 1980s the boys had to swim
naked, we uselly had a male coach who was also naked if he was in the
water with us.I did prefer to swim naked to. When we where about 16-17
years old we came out of the changing room naked as always and was
suprised to find a female coach. She was wearing a swimsuit and
introduced herself and told us to stand on the pool deck for brief
instructions as she had a good look at our penises i and a few other
boys got an erection then we all got in the pool. The next week she got
us to swim backstroke so she could see our packages bobing out of the
water. (Experience Project)
7-I
can attest to the fact back in the 60's most boys swam nude. We did not
swim the same time as the girls and the girls always wore swimsuits.
There was no problem with the boys being around the pool while the
girls swam but the girls generally were not around the pool while the
boys swam for obvious reasons. I grew up in Maine and a couple of small
towns all used the same pool. I do remember when I was real young
around 6 or 7 that I was in a swim class with a couple of boys and
girls and again the boys were sans swimsuit while the girls always wore
one (not sure to this day why that was or why we swam togetherr but ,
at that age it didn't really matter to us). While I was older I guess
around 13-14, I remember that our coach was absent for a couple of
weeks and we had a coach who was female. The first day or two it was a
middle aged woman I guess around 40-50, then she said she had been able
to get a college swimmer come to continue our lessons. The new
instructor was also a female, both females always wore a swimsuit and
the boys were always without.I remember this clearly as the first
female instructor didn't bother anyone as I think we all thought of her
as our mother or grandmother. When they brought in the new instructor
it was a little different as she was closer in age to an older sister.
I remember that her first day we all walked out of the changing room
and lined up along the edge of the pool and she was in the pool and
started to explain and show us a proper backstroke. All the boys in my
class were from 13-16 years old. I remember that she called one of the
other boys into the pool to have him demonstrate what she had just
showed us. We all immediately realized that as he was on his back and
she was supporting him he had gotten an erection and it was pointing
strait up. Of course she was aware of it but never made a comment about
it. Well looking around I realized that started everyone going and soon
the were probably 6-8 of us in various stages of erectness. Some of the
boys were giggling and pointing and the instructor just told us to calm
down and concentrate on what she was showing us. I think some actually
enjoyed walking around erect, after the first couple of days it was no
big deal anymore and most only got semi erect. She would come into the
shower room after practice to make sure we were taking showers and to
chase us out when our parents arrived to take us home. I never really
thought much about it as we had a race with each other before she left
and I remember my mom and sisters and a couple of others were there for
the race and of course the boys were all naked. The instructor was the
timekeeper and she also was the starter, my friends mom said something
about the instructor being a young girl and my mom said that there was
a notice sent out that our regular instructor would be out for a couple
of weeks and that they had secured this instructor from a local college
and that we were lucky to have gotten her. Apparently the parents
didn't think much of it. The only thing that came about was when one of
the older boys actually got an erection while standing on the deck and
his mother called him over and started pointing at him and scolding him
about it. Thankfully it didn't happen to me. Back in the day things
like this did happen. It was usually just the boys but when we had
races it was not uncommon for the mother and some sister to show up and
as in this instance to get a female instructor. As I went into the 70's
and I was actually closer to 18-19 we all started to wear those
speedo's. (Experience Project)
8-I will try and find the dialog which was on my old computer.
From what I remember this was in the 50s and he said that after grade 4
to grade 5 or 6 the classes were separate but still supervised by the
female teachers since as he said nearly all grade school teachers were
female in those days.
Two classes were combined and
one teacher would take the boys from her class and the other boys from
another class for the swim classes.
Their instructors
were girls from the nearby HS and sometimes boys. Each girl would take
a group of boys to instruct from among the boys in the combined
classes.
He was actually very angry when he recounted
this, saying that while the girls were supplied with swimsuits and even
swim caps the boys had to be completely naked in front of their girl
classmates in grade 4 and in front of their female teachers and girl
instructors in grade 5. (Voy Forums)
9-Happened to me at an English school from 11-14.
Only boys in the class, but the teacher was female and the two assistants were older girls 15-18.
To further add to our humiliation, the boys were made to line up and
bend over while the coach walked behind us and we spread our cheeks so
he could check for "12 oclock shadow" which meant that you were sent
back to the showers to wash better if you didn't wipe yourself well
enough before you were allowed to enter the pool.
The
coaches office was shared by female & male coaches during their
respective swim periods and this one day, the bell rang and us boys
entered the pool area to find that one of the female coaches was still
in the office.
We all stared in horror when she
looked up and saw about 60 naked boys outside the office window. Since
we weren't allowed in the pool until the shadow check, we had no where
to hide. She smiled and made an effort not to look in our direction as
she left while the male coach came in, however she must have gotten an
eyefull in the minute or so that she watched us to our embarrassment!

10-None of the guys
wore bathing suits when they were in the pool. In fact, there was a
rule prohibiting us from wearing anything. The rule applied to the kids
who were taking the lifesaving courses, the male lifeguards, and any of
the single men who happened to come down from the upstairs dorm for the
free swim. It did not apply to the nurse who instructed the course.
While the guys were stripping out of their clothes and having a shower
in the locker room, she went into her little nursing office and closed
the door so she could have some privacy where she changed into her swim
suit.
There was no issue about us being naked with a
nurse around. When I think back I realize that we grew up with that
situation, starting about grade 3, when we were at such a young age
that we didn't have any self-conscousness about a mother figure seeing
us when we were undressed. Then the next year we were 9 years old, then
10, then 11, and so on. There was no dramatic "flash point" where we
were confronted with the realization that we were no longer little
kids, and here was a lady teaching the course when we were naked. And,
I suspect that we subconsciously adopted the culture of the place - a
culture where the older residents and the lifeguards showed no
hesitation having a nurse see them when they were nude.
There was one aspect of that situation that now strikes me as amusing.
There was an unspoken pact among all the guys. We never, ever let on -
in any way - that we were naked. It would have maked a male as "wimpy"
to show any indication that he had any discomfort about being naked,
either in front of other men, or when a nurse could see him. (Voy
Forums)
11- I learned to swim in
the Y and we were all nude. The younger boys had female coaches but at
times there were also high school girls helping the female coaches even
when us older boys were around. There were no girls other than that
allowed. However there were many instances when a mother would drop off
her son for practice and wait in the bleachers for her son. In many
instances us older boys were standing on the deck nude and the coaches
and moms had full view. As I got older and more aware of my sexuality I
realized that there were some of us that would get erections from all
of the exposure. Nobody ever made the mome leave and there were moms of
some of the older boys my age that I know in the bleachers waiting for
us to finish. There were also times my mom and sister waited for me to
finish if were were going out afterwards. The only thing ever said was
by my sistem when I was talking to my mom and she asked why my penis
was hard. My mom the troo0per that she is looked at it and just said it
was because the water was cold. LOL but in those days it was just taken
as granted that boys could be seen naked and it was no big deal and we
were not to be ashamed. (gr8erdays)
12- As a kid, I and my brother and sister would go to the men's club in
Cincinnati(I don't know the name or what its address is) with dad every
Saturday to go swimming. Nudity was required. And yes fathers could
bring their daughters with them as long as they were young. In talking
with my sister about it this week she said when she turned nine dad
said if any one asked her how old she was just say 8 and 1/2. She says
she kept going with us till she was 12 or 13 and her breasts started to
develop and no one ever asked her how old she was. I don't know when we
started going, but when I was 4 or 5 I started taking swimming lessons
that they had for the kids. There were girls in all the classes that I
took.
When I got into the 7th grade one of the girls
in my homeroom was one of the girls I had been swimming with since the
first swim class I took. She still was flat chested and no pubic hair.
She still went with her dad thru the 8th grade. The first day of class
in the 7th grade she asked me not to tell anyone at school that she
swam at the club nude or tell anyone at the club how old she was
because girls were not to go to the club if they were over 8 years old.

13-Starting in
3rd grade and going to 8th every one took swimming at school. The girls
wore tank suits,the boy where in the nude. They had this partision
across the pool,but any boy who got to near got grabed by a adventuris
girl. What made it even stranger this is when they still had Nuns! They
where on the deck of the pool walking around and we had 3 nuns wearing
body armor swimsuits,I think they where approved by the pope. These
women (I think they were women) were down right mean. They acted like
we were little perverts,but they were the ones that had us strip naked!
If they were real mad at you they would yell at you staring you right
in the genatiles. You felt degraded and very small.
I
guess I came out all right from it. I will never set a foot in a church
again and when I hear a prist getting arested for child molesting,I
want to castrate him. I think thoses are both heathly! (Google Groups)
14-In 1977 I was 12 and I was in the cub scouts in Washington state. We
went on a swim to the YWCA since the scout master was a woman, and she
was also a member. We were told that it was proper for us to swim in
the nude....I was the only Native American in the pack and I went
without my mom. 5 of the other moms came along with us. I was sorta
mortified...Sharon, the scout master came in to the locker room with us
,as well as 2 of the moms...they all said that they had seen a naked
males before and that I shouldn't be worried. I was the last one out
and Sharon waited for me to get with the program,,,all of the boys but
me were growing pubic hair so I felt out of place . Sharon watched me
undress and I was stuck with an erection...she said it was normal . She
escorted me out of the locker room and into the view of all the other
women....moms and life gaurds...erection in tact..I was 12 co it
was small. My Friemd Johns mother tried to give me confidence but it
didn't help because she was looking at my naked penis the whole time
and smiling...The lady who seen me with clothes on all the time now
seen me nude...and erect...to this day I still picture her looking at
my penis with a smile... (Google Groups)
15-From the age of 8 through 15 I lived in a state run foster home in
Sydney. Swimming classes were taught by females, and classes had both
sexes in them, with the boys always nude, and the girls in bathing
suits. Because swimming and certain gym activities were classed
according to skill, rather than age, a typical swim class contained
both boys and girls of every age range. (Google Groups)
16-As I have mentioned several times to the group I attended a boys
prep school (7-13 years) in the UK in the 60s, where, like quite a
number of such schools at the time, we swam completely naked. Each year
in the summer there was an inter-house swimming sports which was an
internal affair i.e parents were not invited, but most of the non
participating members of the school gathered round the pool to watch.
The boys competing were or course naked. The lower forms in the school
(7-9s) tended to be taught by women teachers who were around at the
swimming sports, marshalling the younger boys competing etc and of
course seeing the older competitors naked also. This did not bother me
too much until my last year in the school. I was a fairly early
developer and thus by the end of my last year when I was 13 1/2 I was
pretty hairy round my parts and generally showing all the other
physical signs of adolescence. This was embarrassing enough in front of
my fellow male pupils . most of whom where smooth but was , for me at
any rate, very awkward in front of female teachers and I almost decided
to go absent on the day of the sports rather than have to endure this
exposure! (Google Groups)
17-MY
first time swimming at the Y was way back when I was preschooler, in
the mid-morning Year round about 10AM. In the late 50's just about
everybody's Dad worked, so Mom's took the kids to the Ys big pool,
especially in the summertime, until I started school, I figured it was
my pool! As a small boy the Mom's took me into the Female locker
room. Locker room is bit of an overstatement, valuables where put
in a basket, the wooden lockers did not have a door or a wall
separating the opposite side. We then stripped to shower, Gloria,
another female instructor or volunteer Mom would be present to prevent
the usual horse play to keep us from falling on the tile floor. Again
we lined up to file out for another head count and buddy up before
class. Thereafter the entire swimming class was conducted with the boys
remaining naked. This often created an odd dynamic as at the same time
the Mom's and boys and girls swim time coincided with swim class, where
all boys six y/o old wore a suit, the swim class was nude. The seven or
eight Year old boys in class often seemed self conscious. Both of the
female instructors and of the girls across the pool about thirty yards
away. This class was mandatory for boys to attend free swim time. Often
the overweight guys dropped out, I guess the nudity with clothed
females present was to much pressure. As I grew up swimming and
showering with women and girls, I never really worried about this.

18-As a boy
in the early 60's I was given swimming lessons at the YMCA in
Hackensack, NJ. I had a female instructor and wore a suit as did the
other children all of whom were boys as I recall. I remember nudity in
the changing room but since it was only boys it wasn't a big deal. I
haven't been inside it since then and would be curious as to what
nudity, if any, is still permitted. Any info on the Y's in Ridgewood,
Garfield or Passaic would also be appreciated. (Google Groups)
19-When I was 5 to 7 y/o in Newark, we also had swimming lessons/swim
time at the YMCA, with a full time female instructor that supervised us
in the shower/changing room as well as us swimming nude in the kids
pool. We where required to shower before and after swim time, thus the
instrutors to prevent horseplay. Indeed in the summertime the class was
larger and a female high school Red Cross certified part time
instructor, was hired. I remember as when I needed to pee after class
and talked to the instructor while they where showering. No stalls in
the showers or a petition between the toilet and shower, also the first
time I saw two nude women soaped up. Remember this was `60 to'63 and
working with children was woman's work. I remember the `Y' closed down
when JFK was assassinated. (Google Groups)
20-The first time I ran into the clothed female swim instructor
situation was when I was a 13 year old swim assistant. Normally
swim teachers / coaches at my Y had one or two assistants to help with
the younger classes. The assistants were usually chosen from the best
boys on the swim teams and often the assistants were pursuing their
water safety instructor certifications to become teachers. That was the
position I was in.
The coach first told me that for
the class I was to let the female teacher in the back way about
15 minutes before class and that I was to be sure the pool area was
cleared of men and a sign was to be posted on the pool entry announcing
that a woman was present in the pool area. Often guys of all ages would
enter the pool area during the classes and would of course be naked.
The coach also told me that he had me show up naked to break the ice as
he expected me to be naked for the class along with the kids in the
class. He did not want the kids to feel upset my a clothed woman and
felt that if the 13 year old swim assistant who had some body hair and
grown up genitals was naked than the class would not really think much
about it.
On the day of the class, I did tell the
kids while in the locker room (ages 8-12) that there would be a woman
teaching them and that it was cool. Only a couple of the older boys
seemed to care that they would be naked in front of a woman, but
I told them I would be naked and that they should not be wimps.
Everything went off just fine. (Google Groups)
21-Back in 1970 I was 15 and sent by my stepmother for weekend swimming
lessons at a local High School or College as it was called on the other
side of our town in Sunderland. It was suggested by our neighbour who
had a 13 year old son called Mike.
When we arrived
outside I was shocked to see that most of the boys in the class were
younger than me, mostly 10 to 12. There were about ten of us all told,
maybe 12 and I was the eldest by far. I stood out like a sore thumb in
height and physique and I noticed all the other Moms looking at me.
There were no Dads, just moms among the group which I thought was odd.
I was even more shocked when we were let in and those same Moms came
into the changing room with us! Mike told me in the changing room that
the class swam without a suit, and I thought he was joking at first. To
this day I remember the terror of realisation of that moment. Mike's
Mom saw my unease and mistakenly took it to be because I was the eldest
there.
She told me calmly that "I should not be
worried that I was more mature than the other boys, everyone
understands you've not learn to swim before." When I started to unpack
my swimsuit she whispered to me that "you won't need those, the class
don't wear suits". I looked round and realised all the others were
nude. It was one of those surreal moments in life. Mike's Mom was right
next to me as I undressed and I gained a semi erection as a result. She
looked straight down and saw my hardening penis close up. She seemed to
just stand and stare at it for a few moments and then break out of her
mesmeric state. She smiled and told me not to worry about "such a
natural thing." "don't you worry about a thing" she said looking
down at my penis again, "you'll be fine once you are in the water" I
shall never forget that moment.
It is amazing what
you soon get used to over time. I went to my lessons each week and got
used to the situation as best as possible. Probably 7 or so Moms of the
young kids saw me naked each week. It was the same Moms seeing me naked
each week, but it still seemed as if no matter how many times could
they see my privates, they would still end up staring at them.
Particulary when I would first emerge from the changing room. You see
the Moms, once finished inside the changing rooms, all sat on
long benches around the edge of the pool to watch us. This was the
hardest part of all and you felt like you were on parade as you had to
walk past them all to the shallow end. Every week I would get the same
reactions. They would be chattering among themselves but as I walked
past naked s a jay bird they would stop their chat and the gaze
would inevitably fall to my swinging penis. It was like a ritual.
There were two volunteer female instructors aged between 30 and 40 I
would guess, both wore one piece swimming suits. One was called Jean, I
don't remember the other name. They worked very hard to maintain a
professional demeanor, but they, just like the Moms would often drop
their eyes to my penis when I was out of the water in front of them. I
think that is why I remember Jean so much. She always seemed to stare
right down between my legs whenever I appeared in front of her. She was
my tutor and was strict too. At the beginning of a session, us learners
would stand in a group in front of her, all nude, arms folded and
waiting for her instructions. As Jean addressed us she would drop her
eyes to my
penis everytime. It was like clockwork. Furtive, but regular.
Looking back it seems amazing that I, a 15 year old boy appearing naked
for an hour in front of female volunteers from the neighbourhood was
not considered "inappropriate" ever. Jean knew every inch of me. My
cock, its length and shape and how it hung. My balls, their size and
how much hair I had down there, the whole shooting match. Strange isn't
it?
For that entire time, my own stepmother, fully
aware that the woman next door was seeing her 15 year old step-son nude
every Saturday morning thought nothing of it all. When I announced to
her that I didn't need my swimming trunks for the lessons after the
first session she just giggled. When I said to her that I found it
embarrassing she simply said `oh don't be so silly...those mothers won't
want to look at you!" Even then, I knew she was so wrong.
What would throw me was, occasionally, when a girl near my age would
appear with one of the mothers. Presumably her daughter. She would
always be looking at me and I was acutely aware of the fact. Her stares
would be blantant and unchecked and I was never able to `outstare' her
in return. I never knew her name nor ever spoke to her. It is strange
to think that I had absolutely no secrets from that girl and that she
was afforded a totally unrestricted lesson in male teen anatomy at that
time. Her mom clearly had no issue with the fact. I have often wondered
if perhaps her presence was deliberate from her mother's point of view
to afford her daughter the perfect lesson in male sexuality and
anatomy. Sure, she had a brother, but he would have most likely been 11
or 12 at the eldest. I also remember that her Mom was one of the
`starers' Her and another Mom would often gawk at me and whisper things
to each other quite blatantly. I always knew they were discussing my
cock and balls between them and I could do nothing to prevent the
observation and discussion. It seemed whenever I looked across at that
particular woman, she would always be looking my way with a half grin.
This is not my imagination, I can still picture her sitting there now
looking. (Yahoo Groups)
22-For
the info of this group, I went to an English Preparatory school called
Ripley Court, at Rose Lane, Ripley, Surrey, the county to the south
west of London in the early 1970s.
Up to the age when
boys grew pubic hair, they were required to swim naked. The procedure
of applying to wear your trunks involved a visit to see the headmaster,
whose name was Mr Newt [I forget his initial]....how kinky does that
sound! But it's true.
It was justified to
parents on the basis that young boys who grew familiar with the sight
of each other's naked bodies would be less likely to grow up gay.
Parents generally agreed at once to this reassuring notion.
The result was that boys up to about 12 were naked to swim. The
swimming pool was outdoors, and since all classes took swimming there
was rarely a day when you couldn't see naked boys running round the
cricket pitches to get dry. That was just school life. There were
female teachers on the staff and believe it or not, on sports days,
boys were still required to be naked for swimming races even in the
presence of parents guests and sisters who were visiting the school.
I remember how embarrassed my friend aged 13, [who was a late developer
and had no pubic hair], seemed when he had to stand on the diving
rostrum in front of a crowd of over 100 people for his race, cupping
his hands over his genitals rather than lifting them ready to dive.
There were no stands, or anything like that. The crowd was stood
stright alongside the pool, the nearest about 6 foot from the closest
rostrum on which a naked boy would be standing waiting to dive in.
Thinking of the political correctness of today, it's hard to believe, but it's perfectly true.
23-The Spring I turned 16 I registered for Boy Scout Camp and signed up to get my Lifesaving Merit Badge while at camp
We were all there lined up along the side of the pool (nude as usual)
when our Instructor appeared. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a
flash of bright red swimsuit rounding the corner. Yes, our Instructor
was a young woman. Lining us up, she slowly walked down the line
of nude boys checking our names off on her list and at the same time
not at all hiding the fact that she was also checking us out
physically. Women call it "elevator eyes" as she swept each of us from
head to toe with her eyes as she stopped at each boy.For once, all of
that nude swimming at the "Y" paid off for me, as I was used to be in
the presence of and looked over by women and girls who were clothed.
Since all of these skills must be practiced repeatedly and we had an
odd number of guys in the class, someone had to practice with Cindy.
Yep, it was me she chose as a partner...All of those skills require a
lot of body contact between the partners and being a normal horny 16
year-old boy, having a beautiful young woman running her hands all over
me and vice-versa, I was constantly having erections. Fortunately,
mostly under water.
Cindy knew what was happening as
her hands occasionally brushed over it in the course of our practice.
The first time she encountered my hard-on, she grabbed it and pulling
me to her by it, said into my ear, "Don't worry about it, it happens. I
have 3 brothers so I've seen them before..." then giggled and pushed me
away. Even worse was when the tip of it would brush up against her
body. Most embarrassing of all, however, was one occasion when our
bodies got pressed together and I found my entire penis pressed
lengthwise directly up against her; as I recall, the tip was touching
the skin of her side with the rest of it, and my balls as well, pressed
up against her suit. Needless to say, each time one of these incidents
happened I ended up hard as a rock for at least a few minutes
afterward, and sometimes longer.
None of the
guys knew about the erections for a while, however, because either we’d
remain in the water long enough for it to subside or else I’d find some
excuse to stay in there by myself after the end of the lesson for as
long as was necessary. Until the day we got to the "Cross-Chest
Carry" skill. Unfortunately, I had to "rescue" Cindy first and in the
process of pulling her, my hand slipped on her swimsuit while pulling
her and I ended up with a hand full of "C-cup" sized right breast as a
hold point. Realizing WHAT I was holding caused an erection and when
she then "rescued" me, IT was sticking up out of the water like a
periscope as she pulled me across the pool.
By that
evening everyone in camp knew about the incident and the nicknames
"Submarine" and/or "Periscope" were assigned to me. It turned out that
the older guys in the class (I was the youngest, only two weeks past
minimum age) were jealous about Cindy picking me as her partner instead
of one of them, so they were particularly vindictive. By the next day
the entire camp had also been informed of my humiliation at the YMCA
regarding erections and it seemed everyone had to get in their digs.
That was the only summer that Cindy worked at the camp. The next year
they had a male instructor and two years later, I was the instructor –
both of us nude, of course. (Delphi Forums)
24-All swimming at the "Y" was nude. he shock came when I walked
through the door to the pool and saw probably 35 women and girls
(ranging in age from toddler to early 20's, some of whom were my age
and attended my school) in the seating area (including my Mother and 6
yr. old Sister). Immediately, upon entering my Sister yells out,
"There's Johnny! Hey he's all bare!" The fact that there were already
some 25-30 nude boys in the pool area had apparently completely escaped
her! It wasn't bad enough that my Sister had directed everyone's
attention to me, my Mother had to reply, "Now settle down Jane, you're
embarrassing your Brother." Now everyone was looking at me! Shortly,
our instructor arrived; a teenage girl!
When she took
role-call of her class, she finally came to me on her list, and
sweeping me with her eyes, smiled and said, "you must be John, the new
boy in my class." Realizing that I was nude for her complete
inspection, I turned red-faced and my voice choked to the point where I
could only nod my head in agreement. One of the skills required to move
from the "Tadpole" group to the "Minnow" group was to float on your
back for 3 minutes without treading water (moving your hands or legs,
for this we moved into deeper water). I couldn't do it. To her credit,
Ann did her best to coach me, but after 15 seconds my body would sink
and I would float, but under water. Verbal coaching having failed, she
came over to me and supported me with her hands on my lower back (and
occasionally my butt) but as soon as she removed he hands I sank. The
worst part of all of this physical contact was I got an erection, which
was clearly visible when she supported me as it stuck out of the water.
I didn't even realize it until much to my shock and dismay, I hear my
little sister's voice, "Look Mom, Johnny's thing is sticking up out of
the water!" And IT would not go down!
So there I am walking with an erection past all of the smiling women and giggling and pointing girls.
It wasn't bad enough that I had to walk past all of them with an
erection. My Mother stopped me at the door to the locker room and
proceeded to chew me out in front of all of the women and girls about
how "my perverted behavior had embarrassed her and how I should be
ashamed of myself for such a display!" How could I answer that one? I
couldn't, so I just stood there nude with a hard-on, red-faced and took
it.
Similar to other stories posted here, Mothers and
Sisters also frequented the locker room. So my Mother proceeds to grab
me by the arm and shove me through the door, meanwhile continuing her
tirade and spanking me with her free hand all the way through the lock
room to my locker, my little Sister laughing all of the way. Now I'm
red-assed in addition to red-faced and IT still wouldn't go away and
all of the guys see the problem and join in at laughing at me.
Bad
went to Worse when I went for my second lesson. As I entered to pool
area there had to be at least 20 girls from my school sitting with
various mothers. Not only were my Mother and Sister present, but had
with them 3 neighbor girls who were close to our family. They were
sisters Vicky one year older than me, Nancy my age, and Debbie one year
younger than me. All four giggled as I came through the door. None of
the neighbors had seen me naked and this made it particularly
embarrassing; all three were also broadly smiling as I approached and
made a point of making sure I saw them. "Hi Johnny, Good to see you!" I
had a crush on Debbie so it was even more humiliating for me to have
her present; she however, was loving every minute of it.
As before, I was in the "Tadpole" group and stood with my genitals out
of the water most of the time. When it came time for the "floating"
test again, I was in a panic. Knowing that I had trouble with this
skill, Ann started by supporting me with her hands (directly on my bare
butt). Every time she let go, I sank and much to me chagrin, I got hard
again.
"NOT AGAIN!" I hear my Mother yell. "GET HIM
OVER HERE!" she yells as she charges out of the stands and comes to the
side of the pool.
Ann pulled me to the wall and
lifted me as I got out of the water at the center of the pool directly
in the middle of the viewing stands, with my erection plainly visible.
Grabbing me, my Mother again goes into a verbal tirade about
"embarrassing her" in front of all of the women, girls and other boys
in the pool area. She then sits on one of the benches and proceeds to
give me bare-assed spanking in front of everyone for my "lack of self
control and perverted behavior." She then walked me down the side of
the pool (red-faced, erection bobbing and crying) if front of everyone
as I endured the laughter and giggling of all of the women and
girls. (VSFW)
25-Well, it
was certainly the practice in the Northeast and New England, where I
grew up. In fact in Boston, I recall swimming nude in the mid 1950s at
the Y and having a clothed female instructor as well. I specifically
recall an advanced swimming class I attended when I was 14 or 15, and
was about half way through my sexual maturation -- that is I had pubic
hair, and a much larger penis. The instructor was a young woman who was
blond and always wore a yellow one-piece tank suit. The situation that
involved me personally that I recall most vividly was when those of us
in the advanced class (there were only five or six of us) had to line
up beside the pool in front of her and demonstrate our technique for
various strokes -- moving our arms and legs in the air, while she
critiqued our movements. I felt very vulnerable and aware that my penis
and testicles were jiggling about as I moved. And this happened on
several occasions.
The other situation I recall
clearly was in the locker room, which she had complete access to. She
was talking to one of the other boys while he was still naked and as
she talked he began to get an erection. She kept on talking as if she
did not see it, but of course she had to. By the time she was done and
had walked away his penis was standing up toward his stomach, as rigid
as only a teenage boner can be. We kidded him unmercifully about that
later and he was very embarrassed.
Later on, the
summer before college, I worked as a counselor at a summer camp for
underprivileged boys -- mostly black kids from the inner city, but some
were white. This was at a camp in the Berkshires, very private, on a
pond. The boys and I swam without suits, and most of the other swimming
instructors were women and college girls who all wore one-piece suits.
I had a girlfriend who was one of the counselors and she admitted to me
once that she thought seeing all of us nude was "cute". She giggled
about it but never went further in her admission.
These anecdotes are true, I have repeated them other times, and frankly
if someone does not think they are true I don't give a damn.
(Delphi Forums)
26-And, as I
said, I certainly can attest to the truthfulness of the situations I
experienced around Boston in the 1950s at two different Y's in which a
swimsuited female youngish instructor provided instruction on over a
dozen occasions to myself and a group of boys ranging in age from about
9 or 10 to about 14 or 15. (VSFW)
27-It was 1965 in our mid-sized town when my mom decided I should take swimming lessons at the local YMCA. I was 16 then.
She dropped me off for my first class and left me with a middle-aged
woman who was all smiles and told my Mom that 'we will take good care
of him'. I will never forget that day. Her name was Mrs. Banyon and,
following her instructions, I went to the boy’s locker room to change
into my bathing suit. There were about 20 other boys changing too, and
the one next to me laughed as I put my swim suit on, telling me that
they didn't wear anything to swim. Shy, and shaking like a leaf in
disbelief I wore the suit into the pool area. As I emerged into the
pool hall a woman dressed in a sports top and sports skirt came rushing
up to me shaking her head and calling out to me. As she got closer I
heard her say something like ..." you must be new here....you can't
wear those here....go back and slip them off quickly
dear....hurry...quick as you can" and she shoo'd me off like a child to
take them off back in the locker room.
I remember my
heart was in my mouth as I could hear her calling into the locker room
to me to 'hurry up'. When I re-emerged, totally naked, she took a quick
look down at my penis, saw I was nude and said 'well done...much
better...now quickly...follow me..."
Inside the pool
area we had a male instructor, but that woman and another were standing
by the bleachers helping. One was marking off names on a list another
was gathering floats and equipment. I just couldn't believe they were
in there with all us teenage guys naked and swimming. As the class
progressed, I gradually became more comfortable swimming in the buff.
(VSFW)
28-Jack. I found it
particularly daunting and intimidating because we had to swim in front
of two female instructors without wearing our swimming trunks. They
were strict and we did as we were told without question.
We were divided into three groups and one teacher took a group of about
ten boys up to age thirteen. When our ability improved we moved up to
the next group.
I enjoyed swimming but would have preferred to wear trunks. (Burnley Grammar School)
29-Swimming was always done naked. For new boys, the walk down from the
changing area to the end of the pool before a lesson was always odd as
you felt very exposed but once you got used to it it was fine. As a
boarder we had to swim naked at weekends as well although the older
boys generally wore trunks. We never thought anything of it and in fact
enjoyed it. At weekends we were often supervised by a female games
teach or a housemistress and this was no problem. Any other female
however might have been different. (Burnley Grammar School)
30-In reply to Dave, we also had to swim nude at school, it was
compulsory for all Junior boys and the lower school boys in the Grammar
school, ie up to about 14. That was Royal Grammar School in Newcastle,
it was an all boys school and I am sure we had a female swimming
teacher in the junior school but we certainly had a male teacher by the
time we were 11 and went into the lower school! I don't think we gave
it much thought at the time. I started there in 1967 and I think the
nude swimming went on until the early 80's. (Burnley Grammar School)
31-Galas and competitions were nude when they were 'school' only, if
our parents were invited or we were swimming against other schools we
usually wore trunks. I think even for junior boys, nude swimming galas
and competitions in front of mixed spectators would be pretty unlikely!
When we were very young we had our p.e. and Games
lessons taken by female teachers who obviously also supervised us in
the changing rooms and when we went in the showers, but as far as I can
recall we had male teachers only by the time we were about 10. (Burnley
Grammar School)
32-Bill,we didn't
have swimming galas at school but there were many visitors and
spectators who had access to the pool although it was secluded and
could not be seen by the public.
Female teachers and instructors supervised our swimming lessons and also had access to our changing area and showers.
Yes I did find it humiliating and embarrassing being extremely coy but
some boys were quite brazen about it. (Burnley Grammar School)
33-I had friends who went to a boarding school and not only did the
boys had to swim nude but they also had female instructors and
sometimes female teachers present too, at least in juniors up to 12
years old. I can't imagine that this would ever happen in girls swim
classes, especially with male teachers or instructors.
Which is why I believe what some posters here say that they had nude
swim classes for boys, even in the presence of female staff sometimes.
What I am surprised at, and which I was not aware of before, is that
some say that they even had swimming galas in the nude in front of
spectators. (Burnley Grammar School)
34-Yes,we were viewed by onlookers passing the pool but we also had a
large window above the pool in a viewing gallery where we could watched
without the spectators being disturbed.
Our privacy was hardly a matter of paramount importance especially as we were supervised by one male teacher and two females.
To answer your question about canings I remember two boys holding me
under the water for a while to see how long I could hold my breath.
They were duly taken out of the pool and received summary punishment
with cane by one of the female teachers which left vivid marks on their
buttocks. (Burnley Grammar School)
35-From what a friend who went to a similar boarding school told me,
the most embarrassing and humiliating moment was at the beginning of
the swim class when the boys had to line up for roll call and
instructions with their hands at their sides facing the female teachers
and any visitors present. They were not even allowed to cover with
their hands. But once in the water it wasn't so bad. (Burnley
Grammar School)
36-It was common at Summer camps for boys to swim naked during the 50s and 60s.
I went to a church run summer camp where all boys had to swim naked.
Most of the volunteers in charge were women and mostly HS or college
girls. It was embarrassing for many of us after age 12 to be naked in
front of the girls and women even though we had fun at the camp. But we
had no choice and had to be completely naked for swimming.
Yes, some boys like you mention would flaunt and wig their penis to
make a show in front of the girls who would laugh at their antics. I
guess in spite of the embarrassment and humiliation we also enjoyed
their attention. (Voy Forums)
37-I was in grade school in the 50s and from grade 4 to grade 6 we took
swimming lessons at the nearby high school which had a pool.
Boys and girls were taken on separate days and we were always
accampanied by our class female teachers who sat at the bleachers to
keep order and discipline.
As was common at the time
the rule at the HS pool was that boys always had to be naked when using
the pool, while girls always wore swimsuits.
Our instructors were mostly girls from the HS who were competent swimmers and sometimes boys.
While the girl instructors always wore one piece swimsuits the
instructor boys had a towel around their waist when out of the pool and
took it off and left it on the pool's edge when entering the pool
completely naked. (Voy Forums)
38-I used tio think that these nude swim meets and nude swim classes
with female spectators were just fantasy. But I met an elderly woman a
few years ago who told me that as a 22 year old girl she taught
swimming classes to young boys at the Y.
The boys ranged from 10 to 14 in age and parents and siblings could attend as spectators in these classes.
She said that occasionally some of the new older boys had to be dragged
and forced naked into the pool area by their parent or carer because
they refused to enter naked in front of all those girls and women. Some
would be almost crying with shame the first few times being naked on
display in front of the females present. But she said that most all got
used to it after a few lessons.
When I asked her
about erections she said that there were always a few who got them in
each class from age 12 upwards, but by no means all.
She also coached a junior team of 12-13 year olds, one male and one
female, and said that in some places the boys competed naked with other
teams.
During practice when both her teams practiced
together the boys were always naked while the girls always wore one
piece swimsuits.
She said the boys didn't mind much since they were used to it. (Voy Forums)
39-Odd that all the posts are about grade and high school. We swam nude
at practices (coach included) in college in northern Minnesota in the
late 50's early 60's. We wore suits at meets but there were plenty of
females coming to our practices, the college nurse (and 2 cute nursing
students), the faculty adviser, student editor and student photographer
of the student newspaper and yearbook. Yes lots of pictures taken but I
never saw any full frontals in either the paper or yearbooks. I'm
betting they all ended up in the adviser's private collection. The
Dean's secretary(who must have been 60) was always having to deliver an
"urgent" message to coach or one of us. The Board let Coach hire an
assistant so of course he picked a female PE teacher. She was maybe mid
40's but really filled out those awful tank suits the girls wore. After
practice she'd supervise us in the showers(like we needed supervision
(!Hah!) and then head into Coach's private office. Didn't take a lot of
imagination to figure out what was going on in there. Of course by
college we were all pretty used to being seen nude by women and girls
so it really wasn't a big deal. But he was the first coach I had that
was nude too. Seems unbelievable and could never happen today, but it
was a far different world back then. (Voy Forums)
40- Yes, our swim coach at the YMCA was a female who wore a one piece
bathing suit, usually with shorts over it and sneakers unless she was
coming into the pool with us. She definitely noticed a spanked bottom
and would not hesitate to make a comment like "I see you were a bad
boy. At least you got the spanking you deserved. I bet it hurt. Did you
cry?" She said all of this loud enough for all the swimmers and
spectators, including all the girls to hear. She also expected an
answer. (Voy Forums)
41-I was in 7th grade in 1959. We swam nude and it was in front of mixed spectators. Many of them were girls from school.
Our coach was female and called our boners rudders! We were told to
lose our rudders before we got to the pool! It was all but impossible
to not get hard with girls I knew from school waving at me as my dick
wiggled walking to the pool.
The coach would get
really pissed about our "rudders" and afterward she would talk with you
about getting a boner. She felt we were doing it on purpose to attract
attention but actually it was just the opposite!
She
never had to stand nude in front of her classmates for sometimes up to
2 hours at a time! The girls loved seeing us hard like that and teased
us forever about seeing us with our wieners sticking straight up!
(Voy Forums)
42-Our coach was Miss Barbara and she was a witch! She really liked to embarrass us both poolside and in the locker room!
I don't think she knew too much about boys bodies as it seemed to me
she felt we got erections to show off, hell, you KNOW, it was far from
it! The last thing we wanted to do was get a boner in front of everyone
there!
She would really get upset about popping a
hard-on as if we had any control over it. She did often tell boys they
needed to pay attention to our swimming and not who is looking at our
"Rudder"!
One boy named Chester would always get an
erection and she gave him swats a few times when he got hard on the
Medals boxes! I mean he grew right there in front of everyone, like he
was on display! There was plenty of laughter as his penis stuck
straight up in front of everyone, which also caused a few of us other
boys to sprout wood from the fact that girls got to see it as it grew.
We all got yelled at but Chester got 3 good swats in the locker room.
Another time Chester erected after finishing a race in 5th place. She
really layed in to him saying he was a better swimmer and had him tell
everyone why he grew a "Rudder" at his event! He was really embarrassed
that she made such a big deal about it.
I thing she
was embarrassed by him growing erect in front of the girls but if she
only knew what it felt like having to let girls watch as you got hard
she might have had a bit of sympathy for the poor guy. (Voy Forums)
43-I was born in 1937 and took swimming lessons at the Y. We always
swam nude. Had to and we liked it. During the war, all the instructors
were women or older girls and they wore suits. It was no big deal for
us. It continued a few years after the war too. I lived in
Massachusetts at the time. (Yahoo Groups)
44-Our female coach in the junior team was no witch. She was a 22 year old competitive swimmer so knew her task well.
Although she exercised us hard during pracrice she was always sweet with us, but also strict.
For bad behaviour she would give you a verbal telling or a few swats on
your bare butt with her hand for repeated or more serious misbehavior
during swim class.
Swim meets were always in the nude for junior teams up to about 12 or 13.
If a boy was noticeably erect in the locker room before entering the
pool area she would make him do jumping jacks or press-ups to make it
go down so as not to embarrass her when we entered the pool in front of
spectators.
I still remember a black and white photo
in our family album at home showing our team, about ten boys, posing
naked with her at the side which was taken at one of the meets.
It showed us 12 year old boys all naked with our bare penises on full
display with our hands at our sides. I remember a few of us had partial
erections in the photo but not a full erection. (Voy Forums)
45-Up to the age of seventeen, we had female instructors and rescuers.
I do not think any of the boys liked the requirement to strip naked
even at a younger age. But this was the established order of things.
You just refused to be shy if you wanted to go swimming in the YMCA. I
felt very uncomfortable meeting with a classmate who saw me naked
yesterday. (Voy Forums)
46-I went to such Summer camps run by a church group for inner city boys in the late 50s to early 60s between age 10 and 13.
The church volunteers running the camp were almost all women, mostly HS and college age girls and some older ones.
We had to swim naked, as was customary for boys at the time, while these church prime exemplary girls watched over us.
They were all white girls from their church while most of the inner
city boys were black or latino and some whites. So we were a good
assortment of all colors frolicking naked and getting in and out of the
water under the watchful eyes of these girls.
Erections were also common among the boys during these times.
Especially so since the councellor girls watching over us mostly wore
swimsuits or short shorts.
Most of us boys did not
mind swimming naked ?since we were used to it, although some boys were
embarrassed being naked in front of the girls and women especially if
they were new ones.
Some of the camps were mixed but boys still had to swim naked while the girls wore swimsuits. (Voy Forums)
47-It was normal for boys to swim nude at Summer camp in the 50s and 60s.
Often the 10 to 12 year old boys. sometimes 13, had female councellors as volunteers, mostly HS or college age girls.
They supervised us during the swimming and we were all naked.
Sometimes we had mixed swimming but the girls always wore swimsuits. We
saw it as unfair that the girls wore swimsuits while we had to be
naked. (Voy Forums)
48-We
were made to swim naked at summer camp when I was between 10 and 12
years old. It was a church run camp and our councellors at that age
were mostly teen HS age girls who volunteered to help at the camp.
The girls had a separate camp next to ours and some of them would often
come to see us boys swim naked. Our councellors did not mind and let
the girls look.
Although we were used to our girl
councellors seeing us naked, as when we showered and undressing for
bed, who were older girls anyway, it was embarrassing having the girls
our age or younger seeing us naked and obviously enjoying it. (Voy

49-I went to a church-run
camp in the 60s up to age 13 and we boys were always made to swim naked
under the watchful eyes of the female counsellors. The girls always
wore swimsuits.
It was embarrassing and shameful
being naked on display for the girls to look who sometimes teased us
about our nudity, especialy if a boy got erect. (Voy Forums)
50-We were supervised by female teachers during nude swim classes or
during showers. They never made any comments about our bodies, except
if we didn't clean some parts well.
But it does not
mean that they didn't make other humiliating comments like verbal
warnings and shoutings for some misbehavior while we stood naked in
front of them.
Sometimes they would also slap our
bare bottoms as punishment if we acted up or misbehaved in the
shower/locker room or during the swim lessons or meets.
It was otherwise inappropriate for a female teacher or instructor to
make comments about our naked bodies, which is obvious. But humiliating
punishments were often given while we were still naked, including doing
exercises like jumping jacks or pushups which were extremely
humiliating with your penis flopping all over during these punishment
exercises. (Voy Forums)
