This is one of those rare occasions when I partly agree with Yosef Leib. I don't get the whole towel thing, usually from the generally more uptight Litvaks. (no offense)s Although, a lot of mamlachti settlers who try to show everybody else how super frum they are, are also uptight. Hilltop youth types go to various natural springs,...no qualms. Unless you have certain miqvah minhagim you follow, like in Toldos Avraham Yitzhaq, get over it. One shouldn't be ashamed of the brith milah of Avraham Avinu. B”H

And yes, there always seems to be that one old naked guy who insists on being naked in there and talking to you about stuff. Once, he was there and naked before I was. I undressed, dunked, and came back and he was still in the changing room...still naked. And they need to add "no high-fives while naked" rule. That's really weird and any smacking noise heard while naked always makes me run for my clothes. Being a ginger, I always get the curtains-match-the-peyos jokes.

Naked around people = theraputic, not scary. That guy isn't going to rape you, he's just not hung up on proving how straight he is, like some of you closet cases. Chassidim don't stress these things. Why? Because they get laid better. That's why they came to the mikva in the first place. Why are snags so homophobic? Naked around people = theraputic, not scary.

The mikvah <i>is</i> creepy for most men for soooo many reasons. Starting, since this is a G-rated site (ha!), with the slimy tile floors and wet towels everywhere. Oy, where to begin…?

What he describes sounds like skeevy locker room behavior. Where's the modesty that's supposed to be part of the mikvah experience?
