There should be places where this is an option. The problem is that if it was optional it would be filled with guys waiting for one women to enter. Nude beaches work, and I believe that people behave at nude beaches. However people can choose to go to a nudist area or not. Go to France, they are more relaxed about their bodies.

The reason gay men can shower with straight men without sexual activity is because the straight guys would knock them out.
No showering together would not be a good idea, there is enough venereal diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
Good try. A for effort.

Well - wouldn't that just be a dandy arrangement!!??
If you consider that any "rules" about showering in public situations are based on one body/one club when it comes to having two different "clubs" when it comes to showering, you can see that gay men and straight men belong in the one club; women belong in another.
There is feminine sexuality and masculine sexuality, and each has characteristics that are far more in number and complexity than just what gender someone is attracted to. Most people have seen that - in general - the sexuality of gay men is a blend of male sexuality and sharing with heterosexual women attraction to men. Gay men do not - in general - have the same feminine sexuality that women have and therefore their presence in public showering facilities for menis not the same as having women in the same showing facilities.
While the mix of gay/lesbian people in shower facilities with straight people may bring issues for both gay/lesbian and straight people (or may not, it depends on the people), any such issues are distinct and separate from the issue your question brings up.
So, in answer to your question, no they shouldn't. Just because the people who made up the "shower rules" went with the simple "girls-on-one-side/boys on the other" approach and with basic anatomy the thing that divides the groups it doesn't mean that their concerns went past anatomy and on to who likes looking at whom. Even if, however, they wanted to consider who likes looking at whom the fact is that such a thing is a function of sexuality, and gay/lesbian people do not share an exact sexuality with their own anatomical gender or with the opposite gender.
To change the "shower rules" to be with the reasoning you mention there would have to be a process of having everyone who is ever going to take a shower in any public facility to fill out a questionnaire for something like a dating service in order to make sure that nobody ever ends up in the shower with anyone else they may find attractive; or conversely, according to your reasoning we may as well all just stopping wear clothing altogether and adopt the behaviors of less civilized societies.

I conform to an quantity. jointly, the position do you want to positioned the gay adult men? With the ladies human beings? the position do you assume the gay women human beings to go, with adult men? I had a buddy contained in the service carry this very aspect up, and that is not any longer something I ever considered as a civilian. To me, that's about their authentic to have companions on base getting the same help a spouse or female friend may. that is about their authentic to be who they are and nonetheless be allowed to serve their u . s .. that is about equality. it truly is a logistical situation that in no way even entered my ideas. it truly is something that ought to should be considered and dealt with in time. in my opinion, the merely straightforward way I see it going is to make issues optionally co-ed. because it truly is now, gays receives own privileges straights can merely dream of, and at last it's going to should be evened out. yet I nonetheless experience that their ability to be on my own with their important different, or showering or residing with them, and the injustice that creates for the straight away couples would not outweigh the discrimination of creating them stay contained in the closet.

Well, not to say I never showered with a man, but only one at a time, and a man to my liking!
In general, no way. Are you talking about in college dorms, or what?

Straight men are not attracted to gay men, so it is easy for them to "behave". Men and women are attracted to each other, so it is more difficult to "behave".

I think so. I'm a Drama Major so during shows, a gay man applies all the girls their makeup in the women's dressing room while everyone is changing and undressing. So I think so.

thats a good point i never really thought about it like that- maybe because gay men arent as open to their attraction to men as men are to women.
