seeing parents naked

When I grew up, I saw my mom naked all the time. She didn't do much in the way of walking around the house nude or anything (too great a chance of having to chase a brother out of the house!) but she and I were attached at the hip (or was it boob?) and she's never been in the least bit bashful about her body with me. I only saw my dad nude a handful of times, I think. He's a really big fella, so he kinda had that "Peter Griffin thing" going... (Even wearing NOTHING, you can't see much for his belly covering it up). My siblings and I saw eachother naked all the time, and it was my preferred state right up until my mom started making me special pins that said "I dressed myself today!" for extra insentive. Of course, I was clever and figured out that it didn't take much clothing to have something to pin that label to!

Like hippyfreek said, knowing that it's normal and natural, and educating kids a little at a time, as their questions come up, is a very effective form of sexual education. I never had a "sex talk" with my parents. By the time I got to that age, I already knew a lot - and what I was still curious about, I had no qualms asking as my questions came up.

 

YONIS gone wild. ROTFL!

 

well i honestly think that being nude in front of your child isnt that big of a deal especially when they are very young. I let aiden run around naked from time to time and i take him in the bathroom when i need to use it and i take showers with him which isvery difficult for me cuz when he sees my boob he screams and screams until he gets it then he smiles and pushes it away. i think that being naked is a very natural thing and I want aiden to grow up being proud of his body and be comfortable in his own skin also i dont want him to be so self concious as he gets older.

 

My Dad still walks around the house naked.

 

the only reason I'm no longer a nudist is because every time either of my girls (well, not Jenny anymore, she weaned a few months ago) see my boobs, they have to nurse. every time. Plus cosleeping babies like to put their toes in warm places, and I am just not comfortable with that. :& We don't make a big deal of nakedness, other than to explain that we put clothes on when we go out of the house to show respect for people who might feel uncomfortable seeing us naked, and we don't run around with the curtains open without clothes because it might hurt the neighbors' feelings if the see us naked. The last thing I want to happen is that my kids think there is something wrong or dirty with their private parts because that is how my parents made me feel.


But I also have to share a funny story. Jenny has an outie belly button, so when she was two she started calling Daddy's penis his "funny belly button" LOL

 

LMAO.

 

Yikes. Whatever you say woody Allen.

 

Oh, no, now you know my dirty little secret. LOL! Nah, just plain, Italian wire brush black, just enough to look like Cookie Monster.

And, to this day, that kid will never watch Sesame Street.

Drumin, mama, a similar story to your son's, my mom was getting out of the shower, and I was about 3 or so, and I asked her if I was going to get breasts one day. She said yes, of course, just like hers. I was told I looked crestfallen and asked, "But, mama, some ladies have bigger ones than yours, don't they?" My poor ma has double A breasts. I got the other side (the Italian side) of the families genes when it came to breast endowment.

 

I think I tol this story once but I'll tell it again. My DH had his girlfriends two small boys in the shower at the pool with him. They were huddled in th corner looking at his crotch and whispering. Finally one of them anounced "You're a girl!" DH did a double check. Yep, penis still there. When asked why they thought that they said "Because you have FUR down there!" I guess they had only seen their mom naked and never had seen an adult male! So Steve told them THEY would get fur too when they grew up. And that was that!

 

I hope this does not offend But I do notice that nudity & Sex is still taboo in some American homes.
When I was growing up it was not that unusual to so one's parents naked. There is a photo of me at about 3 years old in the bath with my father.
I think growing up in an enviorment where one's body was not seen as shameful or only seen as a sexual object made me quite confortable with my own body.

It still amazes me that on American TV you can show someone being beaten shot or having their head blown off but people freak if a woman's breasts are shown!!!!!
