I'm 38. Boys about 10 years older than me were required to swim nude in the school pool. I was required to use the communal shower nude after sports 3 times a week at school. Boys 10 years younger than me were not required to do so.
I've noticed at the gym etc that guys 10+ years younger than me are pretty sheepish about being nude. Even in the gym changing room they change behind a towel. I bare all and don't really care.
I've wondered if that experience in youth had equiped me well for later life where I don't really care...
I'm roughly the same age, though an immigrant from a part of the world where nudity wasn't common even at the gym locker room.
I do notice the same trend in the locker rooms here - younger men do get naked but turn away while they change, and almost only at the locker. Older men are much more likely to walk around naked, with none of the turning away business.
