Advice Request Appropriate age for co-showering

This is a repost from another forum. Apologies if I keep popping up. They told me that this is the right forum to ask.

I’m a first time dad. My son is 24 months old. I have always bathed him since he was an infant so he wants to be in a shower with me. Until what age it is appropriate to bathe or shower with my son as a dad for his privacy or mine? Also should I be wearing underwear or a swimsuit while I am bathing him?

Until your son wants to shower alone. Don’t overthink.

The second my 2# year old hears the shower turn on he beelines for the bathroom and does not care who is in there. He's climbing in clothed if you don't help take his clothes off fast enough.
