Eh, if it floats your boat, have fun with co-ed bathrooms. Me personally though, I'll gladly keep to the gender separate bathrooms. Bad enough other ladies can hear me tinkle, I don't want guys listening in on that as well. Plus, lady things. *looks at feet, then shuffles away*
Changing a sanitary towel just got 100% more awkward.
'Hey why are you eating crisps in the toilet?'
'Fuck off'

Problem is I usually get a semi (or more) in the shower even when I'm alone. Maybe the nerves would calm me down, but I don't trust myself and I would imagine it'd be bad form to get a full on erection in the co-ed shower... or any communal shower.
With dividers it'd be okay, but just one big room would be a bad idea.
Although, I have been using communal showers for years due to sports and whatnot, and never gotten an unwanted boner. But then, that's just dudes.
I don't know. I wouldn't want to risk it.
And rape wouldn't be an issue, only the aforementioned unwanted boners

I went into a gender neutral bathroom once when I was a kid, there were naked French men everywhere. It struck me as odd because it was a kids room whereas there were separate rooms for adults.
So yeah just introducing it on people who more often then not refer to their bodyparts as "Privates" is probably going to be a bit awkward.

you make a valid point there. i'll concede your logic and admit mine was too generalized. however, i also must insist that you may be underestimating the size of the step from current trends to showering together. if we're taking steps, then that specific step is like jumping straight to the finish line from the starting gun. i propose first we'd need to regulate common public restrooms first, where afaik a lot of places do already implement these successfully, and a lot more don't. there may or may not be other intermediate steps, but nothing obvious comes to mind.MagunBFP said:
Keep the government out of my shower! Men and women are separate but equal on this. Well that?s not true the women?s rest rooms were always nicer. I would not want to subject all the females to having to see my naked body, I mean where so you think cancer comes from?
Really I think it may have a good intention but it could destroy people if they are not attractive, see themselves as ugly or have other image issues. I mean that would have fucked with my mind and I don?t worry about how I look unless I am at a job. What about the people that worry about that stuff constantly? Also I don?t trust people to not misuse such an easy system to abuse.

Nothing would happen, I was several times on temporary work during summer and we all lived in a building with only one room with several showers and always some sort of order was established without any crazy orgies going on. Nobody was running around showing their private parts but -used towels to cover themselves and no one was watching other people while they were showering. And al of these people were 18-25
Well, I've lived in southern coastal Georgia all my life and by my teens, a naked or topless woman wasn't anything special. Especially since my female classmates wore very exposing clothes and post almost nude photos of themselves on Facebook.
As much as I'd enjoy that, it's a bad idea. Not just because of all the obvious gender issues, but think about all the boners you could run into accidentally. Also, girls are a lot cleaner than guys. We'd ruin showers for them. That's not nice.
Thats right... kneel before my wisdom and logic... bwahahahahah.Akytalusia said:
I have no problems admitting that we're not just going to go from segregated showers to co-ed showers over night, hell my gf has enough body issues that even after a 2 years she's not willing to shower with me. So I agree with you that it would need to be worked up to... that being said there's having segregated showers and there's having co-ed showers there's not alot of middle ground to use to work up to it.
Eh... I doubt it.
My question is why? What would be the point?
Not everything has to be integrated.
I say this as someone not comfortable. And not because it's shameful or bad or anything that people like to accuse.
But I do however consider it very private and personal. And because it's personal, let's leave the choice personal.
The idea of having both types of bathrooms is a nice compromise if we must have co-ed.
People who want to do the integration thing can do so. And those of us who don't want to have to worry about having our goodies shown in front of others. Or seeing other goodies. Because really, unless I wanna see it, it's just a distraction.

Doesn't bother me, (providing there are individual cubicles!) I wouldn't be keen on an open plan bathroom, even if it was gender specific though.
Rape wouldn't be an issue for whom, exactly?electric_warrior said:

Here's the thing about sexes. We're not the same physically. I know that sounds like a 'no duh' statement, but one is literally stronger and faster than the other, on average. Greater bone density, significantly more muscle mass (something crazy like 40-60% more muscle on average), narrower pelvic bone angle (faster motion, better distribution of weight), and a significant amount of testosterone to throw in the mix. Men are designed to want sex and to be able to get it. It is a concern, I assure you.
I'm traumatised enough by seeing naked old men in the showers. Don't make me have to watch old women as well.
Also, yeah. Boners.
Perhaps the old people would work as to keep younger people in check. Killing all primitive instincts and replacing them with disgust.

I don't understand why any american women would be in favor of segregation - having separate bathrooms just reinforces the tired notion that some groups of people are inherently different than others. Just rephrase the OP as 'would mixed race bathrooms improve society' and you'll realize relatively small things like this have far-reaching effects.
As for the whole 'depraved' issue, gay and lesbian people shower with the gender they're attracted to all the time without constantly plowing... unless you count porn or greek baths that are really more sex club than bathhouse.
