I don't know if it's peculiar to guys, peculiar to the English, or just peculiar to me specifically - I'll freely admit that the attitude is peculiar and illogical.
I can cope with knowing that bacteria from other guys have been in the system, I trust the works to be keeping the water properly hygienic. But the idea of touching something with my naked bits, that has previously been touched by another guy's naked bits ... there isn't enough EWWW in the world to describe how that makes me feel. (Logically, it must happen, since I swim in public swimming baths, but that's a lot different from seeing a naked guy in a hot tub that I privately own. I'd be selling the thing off, or else setting fire to it.)
