Did you take showers after gym class in high school?

I am 34 and I never saw a single girl in high school use the shower after PE class. My boyfriend is very disappointed in this as it just killed one of his high school fantasies of being invisible and sneaking into the girls locker room. What was your experience with this?

    I only did on those rare days that I got really sweaty, but normally, we never used the shower.

    The only thing that our showers were used for was to wet our hair. In my old school the boys had showers with small stalls and the girls showers are just a big room. But the boys would take the paint off the office door and look in. I never liked the fact the the office was inbetween the two locker rooms.

    You shower at school just the same as you would at home. You must be completely naked otherwise you cannot properly wash your genital area that gets very sweaty. If uncircumcised, don't forget to clean under your foreskin. Take soap or shower gel - but some may be provided as you will find out after the first time. Also take your own towel although again you may find that your school provides towels. You don't specifically need to wash your hair but many showers will drench your whole head and body anyway. However, you can wash your hair if you wish. But be aware that you will not have much time in the showers as the next class will be beckoning.

    I don't know. I guess our gym classes are less vigorous than all you other people who complain about being sweaty and NEEDING to shower. We hardly ever do, because it's physically impossible to work up a sweat, or so I believe. The classes are far from challenging, and half the time, you just mull around waiting for the gym teacher to figure out what the hell's going on. :) Oh well, that's life. Plus, I have gym last period so if I'm going to die of toxic fumes, I can just shower at home. And I don't do showers anyway, I do baths.

    I never had to shower after PE because I skipped it and sneaked out for a cig everytime. Works like a charm.

    ALMOST never. Those showers were used exclusively for shoving young newbies into for torturous purposes, & basically hosing oneself down after a particularly muddy PE class - usually fully clothed. No one ever actually showered after PE class - there wasn't enough time!

    I never took showers. Only on Saturdays, and then if I had a date or party.

    Of course, my parents complained about the smell sometimes and washed me with a hose...

    never took gym so never had to deal with teh shower issue. I always seemed to forget my gym suit or ended up in the office for some reason or another.

    Yeah we had to in years 7 and 8, after that it was up to us. We used to hold the towels strategically so that no-one could see owt cos we were all embarassed. still had to go topless though. Maybe our teacher was gay and got a kick out of it!
