So a dumb blonde walks into a modeling agency. And she asks the old lady at the front desk if she can use the restroom. It’s right over there, the old lady tells her. So she uses it, to go number two. (Did I mention that the door is broken? So the old lady sees everything she is doing.) Then she stands up and flushes the toilet. And it overflows. Bewildered, she picks up her purse and leans over, and some change from her purse falls into the toilet. Now she looks ev… ---

As someone mostly recovered from [paruresis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paruresis) the premise is silly. Homophobia, really? If we’re going that direction most guys don’t want others to see their penises even if the other guy is not interested. ---

> [@thelurkinghorror](#): > > If we’re going that direction most guys don’t want others to see their penises even if the other guy is not interested. Guys see other guys’ penises all the time in locker rooms, saunas, etc. I know we’ve had threads here about the younger generation being more bashful, but I can’t think of a reason other than homophobia to be uncomfortable with another guy seeing my penis. It’s just a penis. They all (generally) look alike. ---

I don’t think most non-Finns go to saunas or non-athletes spend time in locker rooms. But some people have size anxiety, others are just awkward. ---

Yeah, I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw another guy’s penis in person, or had another guy see mine, but it’s been years, maybe decades. ---

Me, I’m nearsighted since birth, and since I don’t wear glasses when I’m naked, other guys have always been just a blur. ---
