op, do you think your personal experiences in high school are representative of the nation as a whole?

why do you think that "fear of nudity" is somehow new in society?

why are you relying on "things you heard" instead of trying to substantiate your claims?

for whatever it's worth, i graduated high school in 2006 in USA midwest and at no point at any level of my education did anyone of either gender use a shower after PE; there was absolutely a social pressure to not. if someone were to strip nude and shower they would absolutely be shunned and everyone would be weirded out

at the university gym i go to there is absolutely a generational divide with nudity; older dudes walk to/from the showers without a towel at a much much much much higher rate than younger folks. younger guys will put the towel on their waist and take off their underwear underneath it, and the older the guy the more likely they are to just let it hang free

i don't think it's controversial to say that previous generations seem to be more comfortable with same gender nudity, the question i think OP is asking is why that is

So you just walk around in all that sports stank for the rest of your school day? You Americans are absolutely disgusting. Ever heard of body hygiene?

It actually had the effect of making sure people never really exerted themselves in PE
