Old Men Just Don't Care

At what point to men stop caring about who will see them naked. What I am getting at is there must be an age where guys give up trying to cover their stuff in locker rooms or saunas. I'm thinking of a number between 38 and senior citizen.
* I wish the locker rooms I've been in were this nice and clean.
I have started going to the YMCA downtown to workout and swim. This had led me to bring clothes to change into. I know locker rooms are supposed to be places where guys can shower, change and basically relax. This does not give every pair of wrinkled balls to plop down wherever they feel like. This place is like a Turkish bath filled with scantily clad men walking around like everyone else there must be invisible. I actually wish they were the ones I couldn't see. To the left of me is a grossly overweight guy sitting in a chair at the entrance of the bathrooms. His gut is falling over his knees which actually helps to cover his meat and potatoes. He is wheezing and out of breath. My guess is from the walk he has taken from the steam room or as I like to call it bacteria central. Ahead of me in the locker are butt cheeks scattered all over the place. Around every corner I face the sight of wieners and guts. The locker room should be renamed Guts and Butts because that is all you see when your in there. One time I decided to be brave and get into the whirlpool before I left. I'm not in there five minutes before this butt naked old man (who else) strolls into the waters. Maybe it's me here but there is something not cool about another man getting into a 5' x 5' area filled with steam and bubbles with nothing but his deodorant on. Anyway I have realized that when I go to the Y now I will have to deal with balls. And not the kind you shoot with.
