No. It's not that my mom tried to hide her nudity from me and my brother, I actually saw her naked a few times when she was getting out of the shower, but it wasn't common place. For the longest time, and still to a certain degree, I have some body shame. But I've tried to force myself to be more open with being nude by going nude whenever I'm alone. I've gotten comfortable enough with it that I don't mind if my mom sees me.
I have never seen my brother naked. I think had I grown up knowing what a normal male looked like naked I would be more confident in my appearance, especially my package. I didn't go to school where we took showers after gym or anything like that so I've been very repressed growing up.
I hope my future wife would be more open and that we could have some nudity around or children so they grow up without having body shame and know what normal adult bodies look like.
I feel that a lot of the issues in this country related to society and young people's issues with body shame would be put to rest if nudity was more readily acceptable. So many young people today, especially young girls, have such a false idea of what their body is suppose to look like because all they've ever gotten to see is porn and models and that is all fake. Nothing about it is real.
Nudity has always occurred in my family by accident as I am sure that it has in every family, but never have we gone out of our way to unnecessarily engage in nudity. When I was little I would shower with my mom. I have changed my brother's diapers when he was a baby and both of us have changed our little sister's diapers when she was a baby and helped bathe her. While not necessarily nudity, I talk to my mother a lot about sex, my virginity, feelings, and frustrations because there is an irreparable weirdness between my father and I after how puritanical he was when I was growing up. And yes, I have decided to check in and visit this site again from time to time.
I've never seen my dad naked, thank gawd! But I remember my mom would occasionally bathe my brother and I together (because it saved time, water, energy, etc.) up until I was about 4 (my brother is 5 years older than me). Whenever my mom would go clothes shopping she would have my brother and I sit inside the changing room while she tried stuff on (until my brother was 13) but I still see her naked and vice versa regularly. It's no biggy at this point because my body is an exact replica of hers except I'm bustier lol. Everyone says my mom is gorgeous so it definitely doesn't hurt my self-esteem to know that I resemble her.
There was no nudity in my home and that instilled a proper sense of modesty in me
AND I'M GLAD.
Modestly is very important in my household and so will it be when I will have my own family.
I'm only a bit comfortable being topless in front of my sisters and mother, but that's how far it goes.
I think the naked human body is beautiful and attractive, I'm not for normalizing nudity, at home or in society, i don't want us to get used to seeing naked body and feel like nothing.
It's so sad to remove the thrill , mystery and excitement attached to seeing someone you like naked.
No. I grew up in a very modest household (well I guess getting baths as a child doesn't count and my sister and brother (and probably me) ran around naked many times as a toddler but I also don't think that counts) but no, we were a modest family and I don't think it's bad. It's great for other people, but I'm pretty sure when I have a family of my own, I'll still enforce modesty in dress.

I grew up in a family which was very open with nudity. We had a sauna and a hot tub and used them almost exclusively nude. I also shared a bathroom with my siblings and we never worried about covering up around each other while getting ready in the morning. I do believe it gave me a healthier view of sexuality and a more positive body image. Also, not being so modest about my body has definitely made me much more comfortable in locker rooms, dorm showers, nude beaches, etc. If given the chance I would not go back and change how I was raised.
Not exactly but I started off in Shizuoka in the 80s and while there wasn't nudity around my home, there were public baths, for example, which weren't segregated by sex.
Public breastfeeding was commonplace.
I took showers with both boys and girls in my school.
I took baths with some of the mothers of my male friends. I had one friend in particular whose mother was so attractive to me that I rolled around in the dirt every time before I went to his house so that I could bathe and see his mom naked. She was really attractive and I had a huge crush on her, though I was only 4-years old.
I think that helped something. One thing is that I was never into the most plastic-looking kind of girls you see on the media. I liked the female figure which was a bit more natural, though slim, as was commonplace in my childhood.
If nothing else it helped me get a more realistic expectation of what a normal adult female figure looks like.
No... I mean I would never bash somebody if it was normal for them, because people should accept different mentalities in this case, but I would never honesty strip naked in front my parents, I am even shy in front of my mom let alone other family members...
I wasn't raised in a nudist family but have become a nudist a few years ago and I believe it's healthy. I'd like my future family to be a nudist one. I wish the world had the same views as nudists and it was just considered "normal", but I doubt that will EVER happen. It's sad in my opinion.
My family were not nudists. But in normal circumstances like getting dressed in the morning or just getting out of the shower and stuff, it was normal to see our parents naked. They were good about teaching us our anatomy and that the naked body is not shameful or dirty. If we had questions, they just answered in a mostly scientific manner.
No and I wouldn't try it in my home. Imagine if they want to have friends over and they'll be ashamed of their family. What if they try to strip in elementary school because that's what they're used to?
My maternal grandparents were naturists back in the 1960's. My mum was brought up as one, and upon marrying my father, introduced him to it as well. So my sister and I were also brought up as naturists from birth.
My parents always let sis and I chose what we wanted to be. We both became Pagan and naturists. I want to give any children I have the same opportunity to learn about all things in life and to chose for themselves.
When I was like 3-8 years old I'd take showers with my mom and baths with my brother. I would also be naked in the backyard, my brother would too. Don't do it anymore, but it wasn't a big deal
I'm sorry but I wouldn't want my daughter to see her dad or uncles naked wtf
Yep. It's quite common in Finland, simply due to the prevalence of the sauna culture, where people are commonly naked.
Thank fucking Allah that I did not. That would have been a nightmare (from my current point of view at least)
My family was ugly so thankfully kept their clothes on. N/A with the kids since I never had any and never going to.
I went with A, but it's not like we were always naked, just there wasn't any problem with it. Same with my family now.
Yes I did.
Nudity and nakedness isn't sexual to us it's beautiful art.
No one takes any notice we have all seen naked and nude people before and know what they look like.
My mother sometime was walking around the house naked but nobody else have done it. i hate it that's gross.
I grew up in a very sexually repressed atmosphere, so we didn't do anything like that.
My father used to walk around in his underwear almost all day lots of times and it made me very uncomfortable.
I won't even have my shirt off in front of anyone except a girlfriend. Even then, only when being intimate, then it goes right back on.
There was no nudity in my home and that instilled a proper sense of modesty in me. 😊
In our culture, limits of nudity are far from those of the west... even for men. So NO, I was never exposed to that, thankfully.
Nudity wasn't and isn't tolerated in my house. That makes me more decent I guess.
