I went through Infantry Basic Training with 52 other guys in my platoon. We had partitions for the showers but no curtains. There may have been a gay guy in my platoon but if there was, nothing ever came up in the showers. Sex is the last thing on your mind for several weeks as you're too tire to even care about it. Besides, that's what the salt peter is for. I suppose we were being gay when we had to stand in line nut to butt.
Other than basic, the only time we ever had shared showers was when we went to the field. I managed to take a shower in the Spanish desert that was set up on the dirt floor. There was a walkway around the inside perimeter of the tent that was about 2' wide. You filed in as a group and you got 3 minutes to shower off 2 weeks worth of funk. It didn't matter if you were still lathered up, after 3 minutes the water was off. We laughed saying you wouldn't want to try to squeeze past the guy next to you. I didn't spend my time eyeballing others to determine if they were eyeballing me.
