Children don’t know that being naked with other people is wrong until we teach them self-loathing. If we just stopped, being naked would be normal and natural and there would be nothing sexual or perverse about it. It’s all adult projection of our fear and self-loathing.
IMHO there are too many fundamental things that should be changed in most western societies to allow a non traumatic passage into puberty of comunal showers, average maturity of involved individuals do not help, I see much easier to provide individual booth showers until they are successfully formed as adults…
They were the norm when I was a kid, though that was a long long time ago. I didn’t realise they’d have changed. Does everyone have like a separate shower stall now? Because if so, that makes this even more unhinged.
I don’t see how communal showers can be available to minors…

I might just not have had a real “gym” class, but we just didnt shower after. I was sweaty the rest of the day til I got home.
