Yep. When I went to high school, literally no one showered. I never saw a single person shower after gym class.
The thing that baffles me about it, is that if you're going to do physical activity like that, a shower after should be mandatory unless you are going home. Otherwise it's pretty gross. The result will be people not trying hard in gym, or people being unsanitary.
I guess this is all because we're ashamed of our bodies or afraid of sexual perverts? What the hell happened to us that we are this way?
I would have been afraid to shower in high school, the way it was. I have since showered in front of many strangers in the military and nothing bad has ever happened to me as a result. If you do have something odd happen, then that should be dealt with. But come on man, high school is not a prison. You are pretty safe to take a shower there.
tl;dr our society would rather be dirty and gross than see the naked bodies of our peers or be seen.
