For some modesty is not a consideration, I would not like to think of my kids seeing me naked, not to mention or discuss where babies come from. Isn't there anything sacred anymore?
People like this shouldn't even have children!
As a sexuality educator who advises parents on how to talk to kids about healthy sexuality, I agree with the other comments -- use a book or other media. As a parent, you need to model healthy boundaries and limit-setting.

DO NOT let them see you naked again.
You want to address their curiosity appropriately without embarrassing them or yourself. Honestly, I would choose a book that's geared for this type of issue, but you don't have to push it on their father. Talk to a doctor who's a professional with these type of situations if you really want the best advise. But I don't think you have to go as far as showing them up close and personal. This is a good time to teach them about privacy and what isn't appropriate. Set the boundaries.
For me personaly i dont think at seven they even need to see it in a book. have there dad have the dad talk.. some kids ask a lot of questions and its hard to know the right answer. after a certin age boys should not see mom naked even if they want to. my five year old daughter has asked where babys come from i said mommys tummy. just remember make answers short and to the point no extras. dont show outter parts if you do chooses to show and tell use the book with just drawings of insides basics. i think its important that dad is in with all of this.
All of my children saw me naked at a VERY EARLY age. They NEVER asked what your children have asked If they had I certainly would have NEVER considered what you have !! NEVER!! What is wrong that you should ask such a question !?! Maybe you need some counseling along with your children.
My goodness you have to ask such a perverted question? Does that give you an answer ! At 5 and 7 it should be easy to come up with something other than turning to the point of exposing yourself to your children no matter what age !! Are you for real ?!
Maybe CPS needs to answer your question !
If they are asking to see you close up then I think you should put some clothes on and open up a book!! And for the comment "make sure you let them touch it too" Who are you and how old are you? That's what I would like to know! Maybe you are too immature for this site! So go somewhere else!!! Stop waisting our time!!!
Make sure you let them touch it too...
You told your five year old where babies come from!?
Well if you really must tell them more, use a book.
from a book, 'cause if you do that it's call STUPID!!!
