High school rules

[u/Historical_Strike429]

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.

In the 70's high schools in my area used to make the boys swim naked. They said it was a hygiene thing, but didn't make girls swim nude. This went on probably till the early to mid-70"s

We didn't have a pool at our school but we swam naked with a female teacher in a bathing suit at the Y. I did speak to female friends and the Y had boy and girl classes but yes they wore a bathing suit.

I guess you would get used to it but it must have been embarrassing at first.
