    Nope. People are people... I don't really want to be naked around anyone, regardless of gender, and I don't want them naked around me.

    I've never heard of this.

    I guess I don't really see it being a big deal as long as people can act like mature adults. I don't think there are laws against it.

    We had that situation in my military training but it's not like people might think. All in one big tent but changing wasn't a big thing, if you were stripping down all the way it was in your sac otherwise you've got shorts and a T-shirt. I imagine most people who need to do a full change would use a washroom.

    I've never heard about co-ed changing rooms :open_mouth:
    It might be weird at the beginning, but I think I could get used to it.

    Why must it be illegal?

    It's illegal for men and women to use the same restroom (if is only one stall that's different)so using the same changing room with several people seems like it would be illegal

    Cite the law that makes this illegal.

    There are many businesses that have only one restroom that are just ripe for lawsuit if the "Tess Law" exists.

    I've never seen a gym like that. I think it would be fine. I would prefer separate locker rooms, but if only one was available I would still use it.

    Yes. Just like all those evil nudist beaches and communities.

    Swimming pool where I take my daughters has coed locker room.

    I can here heads exploding across America.

    Small private booths to changes, separated washing showers, common locker area, common rinse before enter pool area.

    We also have common shared saunas. No clothes.
    Many hotel gyms across Europe don't have two change areas or showers.
    Naked bodies, oh no.

    First time I was in a washroom in Germany a cleaning woman walked in and started cleaning the urinal beside me. I took it in stride since I understood Germans were probably the most liberal of all European countries and most have not gone through the Victorian Era so have no hang overs about it. Nudity isn't a huge thing really but North Americans tend to be way too up tight.

    On a similar note, we actually have a girls hockey league here that doesn't allow contact between coaches and players, not even a tap on the helmet or shoulder pad to say "great work". Can you say WAY too up tight?

    Never tried, I do want to go to the northern regions. I think the climate would suit me well.

    We have a "family" change room at the y and last week i saw a women showering full nude with her 12 ish y/o son and 8ish y/o daughter and full view of other parents and kids. Not something i would do. ... or think she should have done... but I guess some just don't care.
