naked comfortability

i have a friend that i met almost a year ago that lives in another area of the country than me. when i went to visit him at his college over fall break there was one instance where he started unchanging in front of me completely, like naked. The next time he started to do this i left the room and came back in when he was done. this made him extremely mad and upset that something like this would make me feel uncomfortable. should i feel guilty about this. i don't know if it was the way i grew up or what but i don't know if i should continue to do what im doing or conform and try not to let it bother me.

any suggestions?

Why should he be upset that you do not want to see him naked? I would feel uncomfortable as well.

You have never showered after football or after swimming in a public pool? Unless you have homoerotic feelings for this guy, I don't see the problem. Its not like you have to stare at his wang.

Context is everything. Showers after PE is one thing, a friend just suddenly stripping to change clothes in front of you is another, the latter going against general standards of decorum. His being angry almost makes me wonder if he wanted you to, umm, appreciate him.

oh i don't know if i made this clear before but he didnt' just do it out of the blue, but he did it when he needed to change into his pajamas. also the school i went to people never showered after PE so i've never had the experience. this is my dillema because i don't know what is socially acceptable.

I don't think that friends need to feel "comfortable" being naked around each other...

you know you like it

You must have stunk after PE class. Why does it not surprise me that you never played sports.

It doesn't matter if this is considered a societal norm. The point is that the OP was uncomfortable with the situation. He had every right to leave. The friend, being "a friend," just needs to understand it.

If the OP doesn't want to be alone with his friend while he changes into his pajamas, he doesn't HAVE to. This isn't gym class where it's some sort of requirement.

pheww! that's what i was thinking but i wasn't completely sure.

If he's just changing into pajamas, it's not weird and you should just look away. No need to run out of the room.

whats the big deal

Like stated previously, just don't stare at his wang and you will be fine. I have changed in front of many dudes, and chicks for that matter, I just don't put my wang right in their face.

PS: This is the most amusing thread I have seen in a while.
