President Johnson had a swimming pool installed somewhere in the White House where he insisted on nude swimming parties with male members of congress, etc., etc. The presumption was that he wanted to intimidate other men with both the size of his body and his equipment.  
Would that sort of behavior be considered rude in the average YMCA pool area?

You’d need a pretty huge body to compete in the average YMCA pool area, by my observations. Night before last, there was a guy with all the proportions of a beachball… well, I’m not really sure what he was doing. Not swimming really. But he was in the pool.

However, your equipment would probably not have to be all that outstanding.

Equipment that is idle and equipment that is in use tend to bear no relation to one another. Having a maggot whilst flacid doesn’t mean anything, that could turn out to be a 9 incher when erect.
