Request: Coed showers
 

So Rutgers university is going to allow coed dorms now.

This got me thinking about that great scene from Starship Troopers where the soldiers have a 'gender-neutral' shower together.

So my question is, are there any videos/sites of some coed showers out there?

Bloody Hell, this is considered news?

In the UK and Europe mixed dorms etc have been normally for ages- although, of course, wash facilities are private and lockable.

Gender seperate dorms would, indeed, be considered very unusual these days- probably there are some for women only on request, but as a rule, it's all mixed now.

In France, the vast majority of post bachelor "preparatory schools" (for students between 18 and 21 generaly) have male-only dorms. In Paris, I know only a single one that has a dorm for girls, and it's separate from the one of the guys, with the following rules : no guy is ever allowed in the girls dorm, whatsoever. But girls are allowed on the guys dorm, at their own risk.

And since girls aren't allowed to stay at dorms in the schools themselves, there are several common "girls-only" dorms in Paris, which means that while (some) guys are allowed to sleep at their own school, girls have to commute across the whole city every day...

Yea, most colleges I have been to are pretty strict about seperating guys and girls. I guess being 18-19 years old means you can vote and die for your country, but you better not be trying to fornicate lol. In the US most dorms have a RA (resident's assistant) who is essentially a student that tells on you if you try to drink/smoke/have fun in the dorms.

I'm not surprised that Europe is more laid back on the issue, considering it's also normal to see nudity on regular television there. If you read the article from my link, it seems that one of the main reasons that these colleges are changing the rules is to protect homosexual students. But whatever their reasoning, I'm glad to see it happening. Now if I could just go back to college...

What schools in the USA are strict about separating boys and girls? The US Naval Academy, maybe. Bible schools -- sure. (But not Georgetown or Notre Dame.) Pretty much every other college that has same sex dorms allows opposite sex guests to spend the night. It's just not an issue. And that's been true for, say, 35 years.

I lived in an all-male dorm freshman year. The showers were communal. When my GF showered, I had to stand outside to keep other men out. (More to protect them, not her.) And I preferred she use the shower during non-peak hours. Not at 8 am when the early rush hour crowd needed to shit, shower and shave.

There was girl at Harvard who was famous for taking off her top as she stood at the sink brushing her teeth with an electric toothbrush. She claimed the brush made her nipples tingle. Men would hang around to watch her brush her teeth. But they were losers and she liked turning them without habing to put out.

The only communal shower I ever saw that was used by both sexes was at Bennington College. On a visit to a high school friend, I was showering when an absolutely stunning babe joined me. Who proceeded to soap her tits as I watched. Afterwards, my friend told the babe was a lesbian and that I tried anything, including offering to soap her tits for her, she would have run screaming to the RA so I could be prosecuted.

Agreed, co-ed dorms have been around for a while. When I was in college 12 years ago I was in a coed dorm, guys and girls on alternating floors.

What is novel about this new development at Rutgers is they will now allow co-ed ROOMS. Meaning a male can have a female roommate.

I've spent a lot of time around UK unis, and yeah, it just seems weird that accomadation would be seperate. Not really though about the showers- sometimes I think they have seperate male and female areas (thats the norm) or possibly central ones with private cubciles only (some swimming pools do this now too.) That said, more and more places now have en-suite anyway , and furthermore the traditional "dorm" - with several beds- is really non-existant.

It's rare-ish in the UK to even have a roommate, although it's perfectly reasonable for couples to share rooms.

After all, students are adults!

No news here
 

When I was at U.C. (Univ. of Calif.) in the mid 90s the dorms were co-ed, though the washrooms were not. This doesn't seem like big news.

Yeah, that sounds pretty typical.

Now, what do you guys mean by "dorms?" To me, a dorm is literally lots of beds in one big room- but surely they don't have them at University any more?

Perhaps one or two people to a room at most.

So when you say "dorm" I assume it means more like a Hall of Residence etc.

Exactly, susansusan. "Dorm" is the generic term for "residence hall' in American English. Man, this thread is confusing. Just so we're all on the same page here:

The typical "dorm" consists of individual rooms shared by two students (and sometimes 3 or 4). These are literally just rooms with desks and beds. The showers and toilet facilities are communal, and usually separated by gender. A "coed dorm" usually just means that men and women live in in the same building, on the same floor, in adjacent rooms, etc. Traditionally roommates are the same gender, but two men might live next door to two women, etc. In past years men and women always were in completely separate buildings, so the term "coed dorm" more or less arose out of a now-obsolete system. Nowadays all dorms are coed, except at military or religious schools.

As I said above, even if dorms are coed, there are usually two separate bathrooms for men and women. Somewhere along the line the concept of "coed bathrooms" started. This usually isn't a particularly sexy or revolutionary concept. Usually it just means men and women use the same facilities, but in completely separate stalls. So a woman might be showering next to you, but with a few inches of cinder block or tile in between.

In rare instances, usually at liberal schools, the concept of "coed bathroom" has evolved to mean that men and women literally use the same communal showers (a la Starship Troopers), which is the concept that has drawn so much interest in this thread.

As was noted above, some dorms have gone completely coed, which means that men and women might share the same room as roommates. But again, this isn't terribly radical. I don't think this would be something imposed by the school (meaning they randomly select a female roommate to live with you), but rather that they ALLOW opposite sex roommates to live together, meaning if you developed a friendship with a member of the opposite sex and wanted to live together officially as roommates, then university housing would allow it.

Now hopefully we get some pics/vids etc documenting those communal coed showers...

I spent a summer backpacking through europe around 5 years ago, stayed in dorms with co-ed rooms. By that I mean a big room with 12 beds, and both guys and girls sleep in the same room. People came and went throughout the week, so you really didn't know who you would wake up next to.

The bathroom was the only private place, so people went in there to put on bras and underwear. But otherwise it was a common site to wake up to a new girl walking around with just a thong and a t-shirt on, unpacking a bag a trying to find her jeans.

The hotel only had two room types: all-girl and co-ed. So the girls that would choose to sleep in the co-ed rooms were pretty comfortable with themselves.

The University of California at Santa Cruz has co-ed showers and bathrooms for their undergraduate students.

The school is a very leftist one, known also for the nearly open us of marajuana in the campus apartment areas.

I once stayed the night there while visiting a friend and was shaving after my shower when a girl came in and used the shower. It isn't easy pretending I wasn't interested in her undressing. She was partly careful as she could be to not give me a show in my mirror, and I would have looked like a jackass turning and looking at her. We did say hi to one another. At that point in my life I was 22, and she would have been 19, I guess.

There are a lot more young people with this attitude. There are many camping events in California where there's open nudity at the shower areas, and men stand next to women. I've been to some. Interestingly, the most open people to display themselves in a group shower setting, I have found, are gay men. More than once I've seen showers of these kinds become a "how many guys can we press into the shower stall?" game.

But seeing the women shower nude is great fun, as is trying to get as close as possible without looking like a creep.

damnnnn....it would've been nice to have co-ed showers at my old school! We had 1 co-ed dorm (*which of course was the best dorm on campus for that very reason, obviously), but genders were split up according to floors. Floors 1 and 2...and I think 3 were only for guys. The upper floors were for women. Bathroom situation for that particular dorm was 1 bathroom shared between each 2 rooms on either side of a hallway. In some of the other dorms, it was community style bathrooms.

A co-ed shower situation is a voyeur DREAM! Ohhhhh the stuff I could've gotten away with...especially with today's tech....

Yea, this has been the case at every college I've visited. Genders were seperated by buildings and occasionally a building would have both genders seperated on different floors.

coed dorms
 

I went to the University of Texas in the mid 80s and lived in The Castillian, an off campus dorm. It was coed with 2 2-room suites (4 guys) and next to 2 2-room suites with 4 girls alternating down the hall. No big deal. The biggest dorm on campus had guys and girls in the same dorm but on different floors.

coed dorms
 

I graduated in 1997 from a nominally Christian college in the midwest. Our dorms were all gender-segregated by floor. There were no coed bathrooms. Students of the opposite sex were allowed on the floor until a certain hour of the night. After that, theoretically the RA could bust you, but basically every student agreed that it was our shared responsibility to cover for anybody breaking that rule, and the RAs probably preferred to look the other way as well.

I spent a few minutes trying to find actual statistics online, but I lost interest. I'm pretty sure that most colleges in the U.S. still have this sort of coed dorm setup (i.e. by floor). The ones that allow coed rooms are rare enough that people still write news stories about them.

Thats unbelievable really, treating adults like children.

In the UK that may well be illegal as it is discrimination based on gender.

All you need for proof is to find anyone who went to UMass! I was there as an undergrad in the early 90s and the dorms were co-ed and so were the bathrooms. What that meant was that roommates were of the same gender but floors had both women and men. And the bathrooms were co-ed but each stall was separate, so you really didn't get public nudity.

most ive ever trembled
 

ive got a treat for you guys but i cant post it yet since at the moment im on my gfs computer... but check in on monday

This thread also brought back the old memory of looking under the bathroom door in that co-ed dorm I mentioned. Though the floors separated the genders, of course that did not rule out the girlfriends who visited your neighbor and went to use the restroom that was shared between each 2 rooms! We were fortunate to have a nice, large gap between the bottom of the bathroom door and the floor. Whenever I heard a female voice next door from the neighbor's room, I was ready with a small mirror to look under the door in case she went to the bathroom. I got a few nice views that way....lay down next to the door and angle the mirror a certain way....haha, those were the days.

first attempt
 

most of the vids are really short but i cudnt risk extended shots since there were constantly people walking in and out... depending on the interest i have a few more i could put up

WOW
 

Man alive. Nice work. Please post all you can.

Awesome work. I would recommend getting a shower bag of some sort with a see through mesh that you can set down for an extended period of time.
Also, you won't risk getting your camera soaking wet :eek:

Hope to see more soon!

first
 

in this first one theres no actual nudity but u can tell that its my first video and im scared as hell about going through with it... the more experienced voyeurs might appreciate in since it might bring memories of that first rush

heres the some of the rest

do you know any of these girls? or at least their faces?

i do know them, i didnt get any face shots because all i could see when i was slipping the camera under was there feet and i figured it would be to risky to do it while they were facing in my direction, sadly i dont go to this school otherwise i would probably be posting new vids every day

the rest
 

enjoy

Coed dorms are not that novel
 

Stanford has had coed dorms for over 50 years and back in the late 70s experimented with a house called Androgyny house with a theme of gender roles. They had randomly assigned roommates without regard to gender (coed rooms). Another house, also part of the official housing system, had coed bathrooms. The user could put a sign on the door that indicated their own gender and whether they cared who else used the bathroom while they were showering. Even the dorm I lived in usually let people use the nearest bathroom, rather than the gendered bathroom, after a certain hour. One year, a girl that lived on a coed floor discovered that the men's shower was a gang shower while the women had shower stalls. So, one morning she decided to try out the men's shower, much to the surprise of the men who were using the shower at that moment.

Great. MOre?
 

These are fantastic. I can't believe more aren't trying this since smartphones are so available now. Hopefully more are coming up. It's been too long!

wow!!!
 

this dude has balls!!! :) (understatement) .... just added him to the hero list.
