What do you think?

[DutchAtheist]

Honestly, I wouldn't have cared one bit.

I wouldn't care if the rooms were mixed either or if the gym teacher (or one of the classmates) was openly gay. Let them look, I'm sure one or two of them must have over the years. I know that most girls even hate changing in front of their female classmates though and I'm sure a lot of guys were uneasy about the locker rooms too.

Can't really put everyone in separate stalls though, right?

But since a lot of people are afraid that their teacher might lust after them let's stick with the false sense of security of having only same sex teachers entering the locker room.

Here in France (I'm an American at school here for a year) the PE teacher is a woman and she comes into the male locker room regularly, to speak to individuals or give out notices. Showers are obligatory and so there are always some guys naked there. Also at the start of the semester she has to keep a weight and height record for each of us, which we do after the first class, after showering, with no clothes on. The French guys think nothing of it, it's normal here. Nothing in the least sexual.

[Asker]

Being nude or naked isn't sexual.
The question is how do you feel about it?

[Citizenkirk]

Nudity isn't necessarily sexual, but it can be embarressing too boy not accustomed too complete bodily exposure. Embarressement is as likely a cause for unwanted erections, as arousal, and a visitor from another country has no way of knowing how common and unremarkable the sight of his reproductive equipment is too a female teacher he's only recently met.

I'd say it depends on the school, in elemenatry school it probably wouldn't be such a big deal. In middle and high school it's rather inappropriate. Only in an emergency or if they know everyone is dressed and they need to say something important

[Asker]

Maybe

[Chadffr]

I agree, our female gym teacher did come in to our lockers/showers in elementary school which we were all fine with I actually think that it is better a female teacher than a man at that age. I think in high school it shouldn't happen for the sake of the female teachers as well as boys.

[Beetledove]

If there is an emergency yes, but otherwise... of course not.

It's probably better to have female teachers in boys changing rooms. Our gym teacher use to come into our changing room most classes. She was a bit of a tomboy and would have a laugh. Never traumatized me that she saw us nude changing or in the shower. Unless she starts touching pupils I don't see the problem. More likely so male teacher would molest.

[Asker]

I agree

[Citizenkirk]

We didn't have a problem with our teacher's supervision of our restroom activities, but a couple of us felt it unfair that the bathroom door was mandatory too stay open, so the girls could watch us pee, but we couldn't watch them. That was nearly 45 years ago, and finding an old school female disiplinarian that would acknowledge the existence of male modesty, let alone need or entitlement of male privacy, was unheard of back then.

At summer camp there was no male teachers so we went in to keep an eye on the boys because thet would fight etc. Seen it all before and think boys are more comfortable with women than men. Once they are in high school I think it would be very inappropriate.

[Asker]

When it happened with us no one really cared or took much notice even when we had to shower all together when only had female teach both boys and girls changed and showered together

[terrel]

I’m a male and it feels natural being naked in the presence of women. I’m comfortable with it.

Female gym teachers should be allowed in the boys' locker room. At the beginning of school in the fall, a letter is sent to all boys' parents, telling them they have a female gym teacher. The purpose for the female gym teacher will be allowed in the boy's locker room. When boys are in the locker room before and after the gym, the locker room is still part of the class. The teacher's job is to protect each student from bullying and harassment from other students. Parents need to be aware that their son will be seen naked as he is dressing or undressing. Their son will be seen nude in the shower or locker room. Having everything out in the open with parents about their child removes drama. Parents must sit down with their sons and discuss why this is happening. The teacher will not share any information about your being naked in the locker room.

I came from a small village and very small all boys school where our gym teacher (part time) was also the the doctor. She had check all our testicles so when she came in she would say she actually had seen all ours before lol. In fact years later her kids would get teased that their mum had held all the balls in the school.

[Chaintr]

So funny, but getting good medical care is a privilege. Feel sorry for her kids getting teased for doing her job.

[Chad13]

I think as long as nothing inappropriate happens I don't see a problem with it. Sure she's seen it all before.

[Asker]

I agree

[sketchy]

Don't see why not. The paedophiles who get a kick from looking at young boys are mostly men anyway (and maybe fellow students?). The main thing is that a teacher (of either sex) shouldn't be alone with a student.

[Anonymous]

It's pretty normal where I'm from. We almost have unisex changing rooms so no big deal. So I would say why should she not be allowed in?

[Asker]

Exactly

[Citizenkirk]

They were when I was in school. I don't know if they still are, or not, but they are educated specifically for that purpose, physical education. They don't have any issues with it, unless students and parents make one.

[Anonymous]

Sure, if they are professional gym teacher. Draw the line at showering with them tho lol.

[Asker]

I suppose that is understandable some might feel that way

[Anonymous]

I am a PE teacher and I teach primary school, I have to supervise the boys lockers so have seen many little willies. Boys are scared at first but get use to it. We have no male teachers to keep an eye on it so I've been doing it for the last year. It's not a big deal.

[Citizenkirk]

My P. E. teacher said much the same things if we were embarressed being examined. It was expected a teacher of iether gender would look after our hygiene and health, and she had a nursing certification as well as her primary physical education vocation, so she was entitled too do what was in our best interest. She could be quite sympathetic and polite when we were respectful, and quite indifferent too our embarressement when we weren't, but our health and safety was a non-negotiable priority over all other concerns.

[TheGodEmperorLeto]

Men aren't allowed in girl's, Women shouldn't be allowed in boy's.

[KingPixel99]

I'd feel uncomfortable if the opposite gender was in the same locker room as me. I wouldn't mind if it was the same gender

[Anonymous]

Don't see why it matters. From my recollection of gym class, some of the female gym teachers would've had larger penises than 60% of the guys in the class. . .

[Anonymous]

At my school our PE teacher has come into the changing rooms. Usually not naked but a few times have been but nobody seems to care.

[Deft_maiden]

I don't really see why they should!

[Asker]

It could be for many different reasons.

[ihatework]

sounds like a premise for a great p*rno flick...

[Asker]

Not really no

[MorbidPrincess94]

No!

[johari]

Noooo

[Anonymous]

Yes, why not?

[Anonymous]

Yes! Jk lol.
