Nude in Front of Kids?

 

I think that there is nothing wrong with nudity. My sister and I bathed with our father when we were young. He covered up his private areas. This is how we learned to bath ourselves. When we got larger and could not fit all three in our tub, my sister and I would bathe together. We did this to learn and to save on water. Our society needs to lighten up.

I don’t have any kids of my own, but I know that I’d fully leave any choices of nudism or modesty up to them. Personally, though, I don’t think children should be accustomed to seeing naked bodies though. To me, being naked is something extra to be shared with a spouse. The body isn’t a sex object, far from it. But one should be able to look at their spouse, clothed or not, and think, “That’s all mine.” Honestly though, being nude, at whatever age or degree, should be one’s choice, and only a part of their comfort. This is a bit of a mention towards any nudists that believe clothes are wrong and shouldn’t be. For one, clothing helps with one’s individuality. You can make your own look. True, it can also create “clones”. Some people feel far more comfortable naked, some prefer clothing for the way it feels, not just because it covers up. Clothing helps make more diverse, and unique people in this world. And because of it, chosing to be a nudist is also a unique thing. Both choices should be respected, because if either were forced, then we’d lose yet another choice to make for ourselves. So I say, for your children’s sake. Encourage them, and show them that they can be comfortable being nude, and yet wearing clothing isn’t something done out of shame.

We are very open about nudity at bathtime in our family. 2 sons at 10 and 6. Daughter is 8. With one bathroom we all see each other in the shower. My son washes by himself now but doesn’t mind being seen undressed by any of us. The 2 younger ones sometimes shower together. She helps wash him which saves us time. A few years back when my oldest was 7 me or my husband would shower with each kid. My husband would wash one, he would hand me one to dry and I would hand him another to wash. That way we accomplished 5 people with only 2 showers needed. We took turns day to day with that so one of us got a private quite shower by ourselves every other day. Now, only one needs help and we all chip in. Things have gotten easier but there is no shame.

I am a 45 year old mother and my two daughters aged 16 and 18 live with me and we walk around the house naked all the time. We see nothing wrong with it. If were in a rush in the morning, I and one of my daughters will take a shower together to save time. People need to lighten up. The human body is beautiful. I am just jealous that my 18 year old has bigger breasts then me.

I have to disagree with people that think it is Ok to walk around naked in front of their children after the age of at least 4. For sure.. It is a memory most kids do not want. And children are maturing much younger now.In the same way you wouldn’t leave pornography lying around the house, I would think you wouldn’t give a child access to a adult naked body.It would be very confusing when the sexual feelings come into play. Lots of emotional things to work out when they get older and realize they had sexual feelings towards mom or dad.

i dont get how everyone seems to be against this, i mean are they even going to remember this in later years? it also helps to clear up a lot of sexual confusion and makes it slightly less akward when they ask where babies come from.

We have 4 children 3 girls 19, 17, 15 & 13yo boy and none have any issues over being nude and never have had either in the company of each other or me and their dad. The mornings are crazy with everyone wanting the showers which is a good thing they are not shy. They have been brought up not to be embarassed over their bodies.

There is nothing wrong with naked sundays, my husband and i have done it for years. our house is not overlooked and have a hot tub and sauna in garden. We have 4 daughtrs aged 13 to 19 and they have never had a problem with it. My mother, sister and her 2 children often come round too and we all have a good day.

I did not hesitate to speak replenish the Idear on all kids have to have supervishion now I know .yep thats right!thats why my comments are direct and to the point.THIS IS NOT PORN I’ts ART KEEP ON READING .This is about how I’d watched a few yatchs out in the bay one year in the distance . And there was a lady with a 9- or ten year old girl on the empty beach.The lady was reading a book and the child was playing with her dolls .I sat on the sand dunes in the shade this was the olny spot where thers shade .and set up my Pastel and art board and drew both of them about 10 meters away .I’d was kind of siting the other way its easy to draw on side ways for me.The child ended up takeing her swim suit off and had not drawn any swim suit on both of them yet .Then ended up drawing the green one on the Veary nice Mother or was it her older sister don’t know! don’t care drew nippels on the lady that was seen through her swimsuit for real .I drew the childs privet part .I dident fell like articulated or eney thing but did feel a slight freedom of drawing skin now taking glances at both of them. The lady had finushed reading her book .And wonded over to me her child stood there too .She asked if I had the time the and when dose the beach close I told her. Then seid I’v included you and the girl with elegants of corse in my pastel sketch I’m veary good and not shy I ges I knew her fairly well her out line of shapes she seid ha you are spoiled some what in what you draw here .We realy got talking about the subject of nudity and she was happy in what I had done .I seid well it would be diffrent if I would of taken an incent photo its all to do with a persons up bringing and history or due to religious reasons too.I seid that it could be seen as soft porn .SHE asked if I felt eney thing when I did this I seid natraily to me I was not spending an obbsesion amount of time on the aires we both seid that all kids have to

Every family is different and every kid is different. When I was growing up nudity was what happened when you took a bath or shower, dried yourself off and went to your room to get dressed. If one of us kids happened to be there while any of that was happening, with any of us, it wasn’t even a thought someone was seeing you nude. If you were taking a bath, you were supposed to be nude. If my mom, dad or my sisters were there too, so what. We all just grew up that way. I saw everyone in my family nude from time to time and they all saw me. So what! We never thought of it as anything. Nudity was never an end in itself - nudity happens as we go from day to day living. Every family is different.

Nudity is good. If god intended us to wear clothes, we would have been born wearing them. why hide your “privet parts”? Your just covering up your natural beauty, there is nothing weird about being nude. It’s a body people, get over it

I am a 15 year old boy and can perhaps through some perspective on this from another angle. I wish my parents had gone naked themselves, because it would have saved me A LOT of wear and tear through adolescence, as well as save me quite a bit of discomfort during hot summers. Since, for the most part, I consider myself “past” the awkward part of adolescence, I can say that if my parents were naked even a few times during childhood, it would have helped a lot. It is very confusing when they never go naked, ever, expect me to cover up completely in front of my sister (13), and yet be perfectly fine with changing in the same room with my brother (11). These conflicting messages made for a VERY uncomfortable adolescence, and my parents occasionally being naked early on, or at least not locking every door, would have helped a lot.
