My high school had one of these in the gym locker room. Needless to say, nobody ever showered.
We had one in school. Showers were mandatory and supervised.
Same. I didn't know this was weird till discussing it about 20 years after the fact.
In order to ensure that everyone showered, nobody was allowed to leave the shower area until the entire (boy's half) of the gym class had entered the shower area. You weren't allowed to wear any clothing or bring towels in the shower area. There was just a bunch of freezing cold 12 year olds, hiding their junk in their hands while a gym teacher paced back and forth, surveying the students to ensure everyone was complying with the rules.
That’s… creepy.
It's just the way it was. When you see us old guys in the gym and we have no body shame it's because that's the way we were raised. We had open locker rooms and showered together. The hockey arena I went to had a horse trough for a urinal with a splash guard a out chest high running down the middle. You just didn't piss standing next to other dudes, you were looking another guy straight in the eye as you did it. 😆
I’m almost 50 and fuck that.
These have been in every gym I've ever used, didn't stop anyone from showering.
That thing would still stop me from showering.
damn
