In the Western world, the history of mixed bathing is a complex and fascinating one. For centuries, it was considered improper for men and women to bathe together in public. This was due to a number of factors, including religious beliefs, social norms, and fears about sexual promiscuity.

However, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, attitudes towards mixed bathing began to change. This was due in part to the rise of the women's suffrage movement and the growing popularity of public swimming pools. By the 1920s, mixed bathing was becoming more common in many parts of the world.

Today, mixed bathing is a widely accepted practice in most Western countries. However, there are still some places where it is considered taboo. In some Muslim-majority countries, for example, it is still illegal for men and women to bathe together in public.

Despite the challenges, mixed bathing has made significant progress in recent years. In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and girls. This resolution includes a specific call to end the practice of gender-segregated bathing.

The book Mixed Bathing in Another Dimension is a fascinating exploration of the history of mixed bathing. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of leisure and recreation.

The History of Mixed Bathing

The history of mixed bathing can be traced back to the ancient world. In ancient Greece and Rome, it was common for men and women to bathe together in public baths. However, this practice was not universally accepted. In some cultures, such as ancient China and Japan, mixed bathing was considered taboo.

In the Middle Ages, mixed bathing declined in popularity due to the rise of Christianity. The Church fathers believed that mixed bathing was a sin, and they discouraged it. This view was reinforced by the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century.

In the 19th century, attitudes towards mixed bathing began to change. This was due in part to the rise of the women's suffrage movement and the growing popularity of public swimming pools. By the 1920s, mixed bathing was becoming more common in many parts of the world.

However, mixed bathing was still not universally accepted. In some countries, such as the United States, it was illegal for men and women to bathe together in public. This ban was not lifted until the 1960s.
