A character, usually male, has to get into a group shower for the first time, but finds the idea of getting naked in front of others uncomfortable. He will often try to avoid having to take a shower using various excuses, before finally summoning up the courage to go through with it, and then realizes he has no reason to be ashamed.

This trope is mostly found in series set in a school, where the character is a student who has to shower with his classmates after PE. Although group showers are the most common example, it can also apply to other places where people are usually naked, like during a Public Bathhouse Scene.

Truth in Television for many people, of course.
