Secondary school (UK, ages 11-18) meant we all had to face the indignity of mandatory group showers at the end of PE classes. On the whole it was ok once you got used to it. All of us boys were in the same situation, the loss of modesty was completely mutual, and it was a single sex space where all of us had more or less the same bits and pieces under our clothes. There was some embarrassment initially, then again when we went through puberty at different times, and there was inevitable teasing about underwear choices and penis sizes, but at least it wasn't as if girls could could see us naked, right?
Wrong.
While on the face of it hidden away from female eyes, whoever designed the boys' changing room at my secondary school didn't take account of preteen and teenage behavour. There were two crucial flaws in its layout. This needs a bit of description, but bear (bare?) with me.
You would pass through the changing room door to a small entrance area, with an equipment store to the left and a privacy wall to the right, shielding the rest of the changing room from view. A gap at the far end of this partition led into the main changing area, a single big open space with lots of benches. At the far corner was an open doorway which led into the shower block. This was another open space with shower heads dotted around most of the walls and a narrow dry area to one side for hanging towels. You couldn't see into the shower block without passing way beyond the privacy wall. This setup left no privacy to speak of, for boys who were shy around each other, but it was safe enough from prying outside eyes. In theory.
Flaw number 1: The girls PE classes sometimes used the equipment store too.
Strangely, there was never any shortage of girls volunteering to take things to and from the equipment store at the start and end of their classes. If they used a lot of kit, it might sometimes even take two volunteers.
Did anyone really think that, having been given permission to enter the boys' changing room, adolescent girls would be able to resist stepping just a few feet further and having a quick peek around the end of the privacy wall? If they timed it right, they might catch sight of their male classmates in their underwear, or even less if they caught them heading to or from the showers and drying off before getting dressed. Who knows whether our teachers had a naïve view of their female students' innocence, or whether they just didn't care?
Often boys would notice a girl (or girls) having a look around that wall, but sometimes a quiet figure, partially hidden, could go mostly unnoticed amid the bustle of a full changing room. I remember one guy stood naked, chatting casually after his shower, blissfully unaware he was giving a full rear view of his nudity from head to foot to two girls stood less than six feet behind him (one of whom was his sister, which may have made it worse!)
By contrast, one of my classmates was sat naked once on a bench directly facing that entrance, his legs spread slightly apart. He saw a girl peer in a second after she saw him. He yelped and buried his exposed crotch with his towel. He was self-conscious about being quite small down there and was understandably shocked at a girl seeing it. As she ran off laughing, he let out a cry of absolute anguish, "I've been seen! BARE!!!"
Flaw number 2: Our genius school building designer decided the shower block needed a fire exit.
Yep, there was a fire door leading directly from the dry side of the shower block into one of the school halls. If the door was open, you could see the entire shower area and any boys showering in it from outside. Since the door could only be opened from inside the showers, this was thought not to be a problem. It's not like anyone out in the hallway could open it and take a peek. This did not, however, take account of the willingness of juvenile boys to prank each other.
The classic movie/TV scenario with this set-up would be to push some poor, unsuspecting boy out naked into the hallway, then shut the door behind him, leaving him without any cover and unable to get back in. Nothing that extreme ever happened to my knowledge, although I knew a couple of bullies who certainly threatened it, and the thought that it might happen to you was terrifying enough.
What did often happen though, was some guy or other who was at least partially clothed would run through the dry area and fling the door wide open when other boys were in the showers. Most times there'd be no one in the hall outside, we'd all laugh about what if someone had been there, the door would be hastily closed and the offender might have water thrown at them in revenge. You play that kind of roulette game enough times though, and sometimes someone is going to get seen.
Probably the most extreme incident of this I witnessed was when I was part of a class passing through the hall. The fire door was wide open and a couple of boys from another class were holding a third boy prisoner, totally naked with his arms spread, unable to cover. He was thrashing around to get free, which of course made everything between his legs thrash around as well. He had quite a lot to thrash around too. I don't know how many people saw before he was able to cover, but it must've been several. As we moved down the hall, the girl immediately behind me grinned and said, "Now there's something I didn't need to see!" I suggested no one had forced her to look, but she retorted, "I had to, I couldn't help it!"

Re: Boys PE showers - sometimes girls get a peek
Woah, BareB4U! What a story!
Love it!
'...our teachers had a naïve view of their female students' innocence' -- Absolutely, that's a hell of a lot of trust the teachers bestowed on the girls to enter the boys changing area UNSUPERVISED and not take a peak! Of course they would
Why was the equipment store room even in the boys changing area??? That should definitely have been somewhere else
Similar in some sense to my swimming lessons story. The teachers must have known that a small group of boys would be changing in front of the clear windows, yet it was still possible for two girls to sneak a peek!
I related strongly to the first part of your story: having to quickly get used to the very daunting act of showering together after sport. I can clearly remember my first week at my new secondary school, being told during PE earlier on in the week that after Rugby on Friday we would all be showering NAKED, TOGETHER! We didnt have to shower after PE (I dont think there even were any shows at my school) but for rugby we all walked down the road to an enormous playing field, complete with sports pavilion, in which the changing rooms were kitted out with communal showers. I remember an enormous sense of dread hanging over me all week leading up to our first rugby lesson on Friday! It actually wasn't so bad in the end and we soon got used to it. Like you say, we were all in the same boat of not wanting to have to do it, but we 'had' to so just got on with it.
Thankfully my secondary school was boys only so being seen by girls was not a concern but just being seen naked by the other boys was frightening enough in itself for a group of eleven an twelve-year-olds!
I loved the second part of your story too with the fire exit in the showers! I bet at some point over the years a boy would have been pushed out naked and had the door slam shut on him. It would have just been too tempting

Re: Boys PE showers - sometimes girls get a peek
My school had a similar construction, a privacy wall of sorts in the boys' shower and dressing area. It happened every so often that a girl or girls would come in to get towels. Invariably they would broach the "privacy" barrier and get an eye full of naked boys.

Cain be honest.
You can imagine it, and did while you read it...

Re: Boys PE showers - sometimes girls get a peek
I mentioned a few very quickly in my earlier post. The other episodes that tend to stick in my mind the most are the ones where I got caught. Not because they were especially unusual or interesting but because, well, it was ME getting caught.
Here's a different one though that I remember very well. I'm quite ashamed of it, not because I was seen, but because I could've saved three guys from a humiliating CFNM moment and didn't. I'm not proud of it, but I chose not to save them in a vain effort to save myself from a lesser embarrassment. We would have all been about 14 or 15 at the time.
The four of us had been sent back to hit the showers a few minutes before everyone else, because of some incident or other. I always liked to shower early, before the block filled up with other boys, so I was in and out pretty quick. I passed Mark, James and Matty on the way out, just as they were getting under the showers themselves.
I was drying off when two girls, Nat and Maria, came in to return equipment to the store. And as girls were wont to do, decided to have a peek past the dividing wall. At this point I'm in just my underwear. (I should say I never got comfortable with boxers. At some point I graduated from briefs to boxer-briefs, but my underwear has always been fairly form-fitting, and gave far too obvious an impression of what was underneath for anyone who might be looking. I really did not want girls at school to see me in them.)
Imagine us stood on three points of a triangle. At the first, a pair of girls whispering conspiratorially. At the second, me, semi-naked and trying to fade into the wall. At the third, three very naked classmates in the showers, oblivious to the situation.
I can see the girls. I can see the showers. I can tell what's about to happen, it's obvious. I mean, Nat and Maria are ALREADY in the boys' changing room, right? They've crossed the biggest threshold. The changing room seems empty to them. There's nothing and no one to stop them taking another ten or twenty paces further, right?
I could save my male classmates by shouting a warning. That might give them time to quickly grab their towels before the girls cross the distance and see them. But the girls haven't seen ME yet either. Their focus is on the sound of running shower water, they're not looking my way. Maybe girls' vision is like T-Rex's, maybe they won't see me if I don't move. But if I shout, they definitely will. I choose the cowardly option.
I watch frozen as Nat and Maria approach the shower block and take a look inside. Mark, facing them, sees them immediately and yells out. They clearly see his dick for a couple of seconds before he uses his hands to cover. James's too, briefly, as he turns around to see what's going on, covering up a moment too late as he does so. Nat laughs manically that she saw them both. Mark is known as a bit of a heartthrob so they seem especially pleased to see what he has to offer down there. Matty manages to hold onto a scrap of privacy by keeping his genitals out of the girls' sight, but of course they see his bum and all the rest of his naked body. All three shout in outrage for the girls to get out and f*** off as they hastily pull their towels around themselves.
It's over in seconds. Laughing delightedly, the two voyeurs turn and leave. They see me as they do, not yet having managed to get my trousers on. Marie grins in my direction. I blush. Great, I betrayed my three classmates and didn't even gain anything from it. They still saw me. I feel guilty and embarrassed, but I knew at least that what they saw of ME wouldn't be what they remembered most and would talk about afterwards. This makes me feel more guilty at taking relief from my classmates' misfortune.
I tell the other guys my back was turned and I didn't spot the two girls until it was too late. It's a lie, I'm not sure whether they believe me but they're too embarrassed and subdued to make anything of it. I promise not to tell anyone the girls saw them naked. Hell, I don't want people knowing they saw me in just my pants either.
Of course the story gets out. It's not like Nat and Marie were going to keep it quiet. I know for certain they were reminding Mark about it for the rest of our time at school together. Eeek!
