Like cello said, I don't mind sharing a bathroom but I'd rather not have to share with anyone - not even a boyfriend, even though if you live with them that's hardly avoidable. If we're talking about a roommates situation, who gives? I use the bathroom, she does, whatever. As long as we're not in it together at the same time (i.e. her on the toilet, me in the shower), that's fine. It's a matter of common courtesy. In public bathrooms, I don't care either. As long as it's not open plan, those I would not even consider. I don't much like women who prance around locker rooms in gyms totally naked but that's just me. I'm usually discreet when I have to change or get dressed in those. I always find it odd that other women are quite happy to have complete strangers around them while they spread moisturizer over their whole naked body. It seems so private...in a public place. I could never do that.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
