    I hear the phrase “locker room talk” and I think of middle school and high school locker rooms, where a bunch of pubescent boys with raging hormones and undeveloped prefrontal cortices try to impress one another or otherwise fit in socially.

    Most grow out of this, I think. But then, like you, I don’t hang out in locker rooms anymore, as I am not forced to.

      Honestly, even when I was in middle and high school (so we’re going back around 20 years now) I don’t remember a whole lot of that

      The main topics of conversation I remember were sports, video games, music, movies, TV, weed if you were a stoner, vacations, parties, and other plans you had and things you’d done recently, etc.

      Pretty much the same shit I’d talk about now.

      My personal experiences of course may not be representative of everyone, and like I said, it’s been about 20 years so it’s very possible my memory is faulty.
