I went to an engineering school with a pretty high male:female ratio, and spent my freshman year in an all male dorm. Did I see walking to/from the showers in a towel... probably; walking around nude... no way. Girls could easily get onto the floors of our dorm and it was not unheard of for one or two to walk into the bathroom and watch the guys in the open gang showers, but I never heard of the other way around ever happening. I spent the rest of my college life living in my fraternity's house. Still nobody walking around nude.

You are of an age when male nudity was becoming much less common.
I didn't attend college after HS. I joined the Navy and was on active duty for 4 years and a Vietnam Veteran.
Nudity was common in the gang showers of boot camp, but most guys wrapped a towel around their waist when shaving, brushing their teeth, etc. In the barracks berthing space, occasional nudity was observed while getting dressed. Only a few of us slept nude. In all, casual, non-sexual nudity was still thought of as sexual. If you were naked amongst all the other "guys", you must be homosexual. Like most, it didn't seem that way while 30 of us were in the shower together but out of the shower, the attitude changed. Suddenly, nudity out of the shower, unless you were dressing was considered weird, freakish, a reason for concern.
It really matters not when you were born and raised and how old you are, simple non-sexual nudity has almost always been viewed as weird, wrong, sexual and abnormal. I grew up in an era where we showered after PE in Jr. HS. I attended YMCA Summer Camp, and we had swim time and it was always nude. There were still those that just would not partake because it was not normal, and they were told not to partake by their parents. It takes a strong, independent, mature mind to look past that. For some, that's what sets nudists apart from most of society. There are others who propose to be nudists, but they are exposed by the very content and context of their supposed experiences. I have nothing against home nudists. We started out as such. But our experiences are of what nudism is truly about. Expanding your environment and sharing this life with others that live the same way, NOT just on the internet.
I'm also curious as to the "other" nudist websites that these topics are found.
Being naked in an all male environment was just a normal part of life 50 years ago.
Outwith showers this is nothing more than one mans naked obsessed fantasy. No matter how many people say no, he will keep believing a lie that suits him. Some would call that gullible I think its more being naive as to what nudism is.

A lot of it was on the old YMCA Naked group on Yahoo. To the best of my knowledge. the group ended when Yahoo stopped supporting groups.
Nude Sleepers Form and Freeballers Forum on Tapatalk both have some. Despite their names, they both have significant dicussion of nudity in general. The current Freeballers Forum is a restart and the history was lost.
I attended a religious college in the early 80s with alternating dorm floors for men and women. I don't remember any nudity, nor did people seem uptight about it. I think it was mainly out of consideration for potential women visitors (including overnight) that everyone kept their towel on in the room. We were a generation with naked high school gang showers, so having our own stall seemed like a step up in privacy. This summarizes how I see a lot of the US Midwestern thinking about nudity: neither or for it, but polite and considerate in terms of others' expectations.
