Locker rooms

[Wargoski]

I have never used a locker room ever. I find them to be weird. I don’t feel comfortable taking off my clothes in front of anyone. I know I might sound a bit weird but I believe self-consious about things… and its just weird for me. Sorry… thats why I dont use public gyms at all.

I was thinking about this because of a news thread that touched upon locker rooms.

So here it is: Why is nudism accepted in locker rooms?

People don’t shower together, towel off in front of each other, walk around and/or groom in the nude, or change in front of same-sex guests in their home, or when they visit other people’s houses. So why is it done in public locker rooms? Why don’t locker room showers all have stalls with changing alcoves?

I’m not sure if this is a moral/modesty issue, but in my own experience, I’ve been both ogled and propositioned (yeah ) in a locker room, so it certainly seems like one to me.

Interesting question, and I don’t know.

My DH went to an all boy Catholic high school, they were required to shower after gym class.

I went to an all girl Catholic high school, we did not have that rule. The school building had a shower area, but it was used as storage, and the water was shut off there.

If I had to take gym and then shower, I would have probably figured out a way to be excused from gym all through out high school.
