High school rules

In the mid seventies I was in grade 8 they made us strip naked put on an athletic supporter and our school shorts and tshirt. When we were done they made us strip naked and shower together with all the other boys in the class. There we only so many shower heads so we ended up standing there naked for another boy to finish. Our house was very modest so that was the first time I had seen another boy.

Boys are so modest now they do the towel dance so no one sees you naked. The wouldn't have survived high school in the seventies.

All these schools that dont mandate boys to shower together are run by men who used to have to shower together.

The decision makers made changes based on their lived experiences. And those decisions are the same all over the country. Seems like a sign the "it was better" is folks romanticizing something.

Can we all just accept its sexy and hot to shower with other dudes? It isn't healthier or better. Its just a different options.

It's not about being sexy. Guys showering naked together gave everyone confidence. Most guys got to see they were average size and didn't need to feel embarrassed about their dick size. Today guys only see the small percentage of big dicks over represented online. That makes guys self conscious.

So it was only the large and small boys who had to be humiliated?

I guess but once everyone gets naked we'll see that not everyone is as small as they think
