Never one time has it ever crossed my mind that she might "look" at me in "that way" or be attracted to another woman in her business.  Fucking ridiculous that anyone in the military would ever be concerned about that.
I agree with you 100% but I think the sharing of shower stalls can make some people feel uncomfortable as what happens at my gym on a regular basis. It's awesome that it saves on shower stalls when the gym is busy. it does make some people uncomfortable. As would men and women in a shower stall. Actually I'd be way more uncomfortable with a man and a woman than a woman and woman for some reason.

Well I wouldn't want to share a shower stall no matter what my sexual preference is!  I do like privacy.



If sharing a shower stall is a deal breaker for people they generally opt to not join the military. I joined the military and sharing a shower stall was pretty low on my list of concerns. To this day, sharing a shower stall is low on my list of concerns. It would be fairly low even if I should have to share with a guy. Because my relationship(s) with my fellow Airmen, male or female, wasn't a sexual one. Most people are pretty good at differentiating people they have a sexual relationship with and those they don't. Being attracted to someone doesn't mean you act on it without their permission. Duh. It's not like behaving ones self is some alien concept to military personnel. Also, in any and all situations where shared shower stalls were the norm, there wasn't any time to be checking anyone out. It was all about the basic need to get the stink off and get to the next thing before you got your ass chewed by an angry person that out-ranked you and had the power to make your life truly suck. We didnt just share shower stalls, we shared shower heads, about four people to each. Were some of the women in my flight lesbians? I'm sure. Did it matter? Not at all.
