Nudity is actually quite hard to come by; Americans don't have the same sense of skinship that other cultures do. We see the body as something that needs to be covered. Even in the sauna, I've only ever seen one or two women besides myself naked. I joined another gym last year, and one of their selling points was the individual changing room/shower room/bathroom combinations instead of locker rooms.

That's prolly cuz everyone's obese and is in some way ashamed of showing their body. It *is* the US, after all, the land of rampant obesity.
