The old showers issue
Being a gay man myself I think the whole showering thing is a lot of paranoia.
Gay men have been showering and changing clothes with straight men all their lives. It's no big deal. Straight men don't have this situation with women, they think they would be out of control if they did. I think that is overestimating their sex drive. I've been places where nudism was permitted and showers were coed and no man, gay or straight acted noticiably different in the presence of naked people.
Yes, we check out other guys, but we do that when they are dressed too. Gay men are almost always discreet about it, if the guy is straight. Straight men, on the other hand feel free to look at and flirt with women, sometimes agressively.
Yeah, and finally, willing sex partners abound, especially if you are a handsome athelete so there is no need to get all hot and bothered about your straight teammate.
