Me either - unless I was married to them.

I had my daughters in swimming lessons when they were around 7 & 5, respectively. There was a senior women's exercise class right before theirs, so a few of the little old ladies were always in the bathrooms changing when we came in to get ready for class. One day, this lady who had to be around 80+ walked out of the shower stark naked--and walked right up to the girls and me and started chatting. I was so proud of my girls--they never blinked an eyeball--they just answered her politely as they changed into their suits. I don't think they even made the gaffe of looking below her neck. I was the only one who was truly embarrassed. But geez-louise--LOL!!!! We didn't need to see that! 
I'm not all that embarrassed around my sisters, daughters, Mom or a FEW close girlfriends, but other than that--I'm not comfortable with public showers. I certainly wouldn't want to shower with a lesbian!!!

I can't even take my shirt off at the beach and I'm in darn good shape. The first time someone took me to one of those clubs and afterwards we went in to shower and there were all these guys, I said, "Seriously?" and went home sweaty.

Ok, that story needs an infraction!!!!
But seriously, I don't get that!!! We're off-track here, but the racquetball/basketball club I was at....I'd just walk from the court to my car. I mean, these guys, just all walking around and............UGH!!!! I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT!!!! I'm not a nudist! How do people do that?

True, adultery has happened for years in the military between officers and enlisted, but when found out they are dealt with.
How does adultery keep a man from performing his duties?

Does the military prevent husbands and wives from working together?

Seems like the answer is obvious. Are the rules the same for fornication between officers and enlisted? This would seem like a policy similar to what a lot of businesses have concerning relationships between high-ups and regular employees.

That's my point, being gah has nothing to do with being able to shoot a rifle, launch a missile or fly a helicopter
