Nakedness
Jump to: Newest in thread
So my best mate has just rang in a massive tizz. The little girl she looks after has just found a picture of her husband in the bath. And asked me if she's broken her!
Got me thinking, I don't hide my body from my kids, they jumped in the bath with me the other night when they were supposed to be in bed But I don't recall ever seeing my father in his pants.
What are others views on nakedness? Do you hide away or get embarrassed? Or are you a shug it's my bedroom you walked in? Or are you full-on walking around the house naked? |

"Do you think it helps promote better body confidence? As the kids have a better idea of what a naked body looks like not what they see in the media? "
When my dad worked away ( he was never naked ) I would sleep in my mums bed with us both naked. |

"I've never been shy about being naked, I'm definitely not one to try and hide in the corner in communal changing rooms.
I've never been to a naturist beach, but I'd like to. "
Nudist beaches are fantastic. |

When it's just me and the lads in, its fair game we just walk about in what ever we have on, most the time nothing. I've always been open with the them, tried to show there is nothing to be embarrassed about and give them a complex as they grew older. Last thing I'd want is lads too ashamed to get changed after sports. Their mum however doesn't agree and they are always dressed when around her. |

"We're both naked around the home sometimes, just the human form, no big deal. I frequently bath with my daughter."
This is my take on it, it's nothing to be ashamed of it's a body we've all got one |

That's my sentiment as well, though I have boys and I'm far more relaxed about nakedness than my ex. Want them to be body confident, something I never was until fairly recently |

Nakedness has never bothered me, we often relax semi naked (I have to wear a bra top for my boobs as they get in the way) nudist beaches are great once the guys get over the perv and stop staring.
kids also need body confidence as teens can develop issues and anorexia is a horrible illness |

I was actually discussing this with my mum last night as our children are 10 & 7 and at the moment we don't hide our own nakedness when we are in bathroom and bedroom and they just walk in. My childhood was pretty much the same, my mum seems to think that it was when I started to get embarrassed about it that I stopped walking into their bedroom or bathroom and they knew to cover up when I was around. I think that is how I'll deal with it. I just don't want them thinking that nakedness is shameful or not normal x |

My girl was shy one year when she was. Let’s say maturing. Until we met another family with a daughter the same age and they both chatted and she was fine. Only time she’s ever been worried |

Sorry about your dad, but I'm glad to hear your naturist uncles and aunt helped make you into an open minded person

Same my boys are 9 and 7. I was brought up that nakedness was a terrible and shameful. And it's not something I want to pass on to them. They're the ones who jumped into the bath with me so it was their decision. And yesterday we had a water fight and we soaked so stripped off in the kitchen. Don't want it to be an issue in our house. |

This is what I'm trying to grapple with now, is how to install body confidence in boys. There's so much out there for girls but not so much boys |

Apart from the obvious shock at realising I'm not your best mate and the jealousy of your REAL best mate.... .....I think naked is fine, my daughter just points and laughs if she catches me naked and tells me I'm a fatty with a sausage and balls or summat similar. She still runs around the garden splashing in the paddling pool naked when it's hot. I think there's innocent naked and there's adult naked which are slightly different.....  |

I remember seeing my parents naked as a kid. My mum used to change in front of us and I used to love getting in the bath with my dad when I was small which thinking back must have been annoying as fuck for a 6ft 4 bloke  . When I got nits in school one time my mum just came into the bathroom while I was showering to comb the treatment through my hair from the side of the bath. So nudity was pretty much a none issue in my family. I imagine that has contributed to my chilled attitude about nudity. I'm pretty happy being nude at events, I've always happily walked around naked in front of partners and I've done nude photography for friends who were photography/art students at university. I have my oen body hang ups but at the end of the day it's just a body. We all have them and none of them are perfect. |

Shut up you, you absolute idiot... Kids are brutal about nakedness, since lockdown the boys asked me how come I had a beard there 
But agree there can be a difference between kid and adult nakedness. So as my eldest goes into his teenage years how do you account for that? Do you as a parent carry on as normal, and explain the differences different people have regarding nakedness? |

This is the exact kind of thing I'm striving to achieve for the boys. |

Lol. My mum used to be like that but she's not quite as bad now although she still looks me up and down every time she sees me. |

They only have an issue with it if you start to make an issue of it. |

I think where nudity is concerned people must do what they're comfortable with without inflicting their nudity or views on other people.
I wish it was more acceptable to be naked but until people stop associating nudity with sex it will never happen |

I was debating this myself the other day, I have 2 sons with special needs and I am a single parent and have been for 8 years.
I have always been open and because I have to help them wash and dress still.. we have always been ok about being naked and not thought anything about it.
But now my eldest has started developing.. I am trying to be more cautious and tell him to shut doors for privacy etc.. still doesn't stop them walking in when I am naked.. lol!
Never saw my own parents naked and really wouldn't want to.. Hope I don't scar my kids.. :S |

I’m very comfortable naked and sunbathe naked in the garden. I walk about naked at times however I am aware my 20yo son is not as comfortable with it, so I don’t do it as overtly now he is back at home again after finishing Uni.
I am sensitive to how others feel about it while also ensuring I don’t become self sacrificing in terms of denying myself something I enjoy. I imagine if I had a daughter I would likely behave differently again. |

I think you have to be guided by your kids personally. If they ask for privacy where nudity is concerned give it to them, if they don't it's all good. |

You won't scar your kids, for me personally my parents hiding away and saying naked bodies were shameful impacted how I viewed myself. If they're happy so cares really? |

Like I said. If you make an issue then they will possibly have an issue. Until then. It’s normal. Keep it that way if you can. |

Agree with this. Kids are all different, mine are comfortable with nudity but don’t necessarily want to see their mum naked. Quite big on respecting personal space so we adhere to that and I take my lead from them on what they are and aren’t comfortable with. |

When my kids were little they used to run around with no clothes on, get in the bath with me or their dad. It all stopped when they were 11/12 I think, it was them who decided they wanted privacy in the bathroom and us to knock on their bedroom doors etc.

I think go with how they feel about it. I think it is healthy for them to feel comfortable around nakedness. Have you had a conversation about it? |

Being naked is fantastic and so good for building confidence I skinny dipping whenever I can and love finding little places up north in the camper you can sunbathe naked ...I've attended the glasgow naturist baths once or twice and ventured on a holiday to vera playa quite a popular naturist spot ...only thing missing is company ..  |

I was raised with a lot of shame about my body, and particularly the idea I had to shield others from it (religious sexist bullshit).
Outside of the swinging sphere I'm very careful to err on the side of caution, and possibly look like I'm squeamish or prudish.
I've found it very liberating to let that go in circumstances where it's appropriate. |

Not yet my eldest turns 10 this year. And so far it's not a problem and I hadn't thought about it until the conversation with my friend, which set the cogs whirring. |

Take him to a naturist beach. A family one like we did ( by accident)with my daughter. Although she never minded being naked around us she was a little shy at first until she saw kids her age. |

Think that's where I'm not as sure as I have two boys. But then again I'd rather they had an appreciation that cellulite, stretch marks and all that is just normal
I think go with how they feel about it. I think it is healthy for them to feel comfortable around nakedness. Have you had a conversation about it?
Not yet my eldest turns 10 this year. And so far it's not a problem and I hadn't thought about it until the conversation with my friend, which set the cogs whirring.
Take him to a naturist beach. A family one like we did ( by accident)with my daughter. Although she never minded being naked around us she was a little shy at first until she saw kids her age. "
Think this is maybe a good idea, going have a look and think about it, thank you  |
