Is nudity around your family ok?

[ErinMumford]

i was raised a nudist and i am curious to know peoples opinions. i grew up with 2 brothers, my mom, my dad and it was never a big deal. why are people so weird about nudity?

[TheSpaceGnome]

I lack the information needed to answer this with any certainty. I would need to know how a decent number of nudists react around other nudists for a comparison, as well as other factors, in order to see if the reactions I know non nudists have around nudity are different, or if nudists just accept/ignore them as natural responses (instead of feeling awkward), because everyone they are around has those responses too.

Like for example, nudity for most people is a direct trigger for either sexual arousal or disgust, depending on who they are looking at, and I think the reason for this is breeding and disease avoidance.

[Leavesbound]

I am a nudist. I would have no issues with nudity around other people in general but I won't impose my naked body on anyone if it made them uncomfortable. So I limit it to my own home and occasionally back yard or places where clothing is optional. Not many such places in the U. S. The closest to me is about 300 miles away.

[ErinMumford]

i am naked in my yard. nobody has complained so far

[Leavesbound]

I think most guys would not complain if they caught a woman sunbathing nude. Some wives or girlfriends might though.

[Red_Arrow]

Erin, you say nobody has complained about you being naked in your yard. How many people actually see you naked there?

[ErinMumford]

@Red_Arrow probably not a lot, but a few

[Red_Arrow]

Lucky them!

As someone with a medical condition that has me having a period for long periods of time, I wouldn't be comfortable letting my brothers watch me freely bleed all over the place. And there's usually lots of bleeding. That and some women also have more vaginal secretions than others. Bodies are beautiful but restrooms are private for a reason. What bodies emit can be unpleasant and odorous.

[NorthAfrican]

I have never seen my brother or father naked and vice versa.
I have never seen my mom or sisters entirelyyyy naked but it's more relaxed than with my male relatives.

[ErinMumford]

i dont find it weird to see males in my family naked, none of us ever wore clothes so it was never weird!

[elizamichale1]

You guys are practically my family hehe
I have also been raised in a nudist n sexually open family n it has never been a tabboo or issue for us n we are also me my dad n mum n 2 brothers n now my twin boys

[ErinMumford]

awesome! nobody should be ashamed of sexuality. me and my family talk about it openly. genitals are not inheritly sexual. being naked can be non sexual. we just watch tv or garden naked its no big deal!

[ErinMumford]

you gave birth to twins?

[elizamichale1]

I am so pleased to know u darling n u n ur family is living just a natural life as it is supposed to be lived n what u said is absolutely right

[elizamichale1]

Yup twin boys both absolutely healthy n adorable

[BobbyC65]

Growing up with my two sisters and our parent we mostly stayed clothed. Weren't raised as nudists. But where I'm living now everyone is comfortable with being naked nude around each other and If I'm home all day I'll spend the day naked in my bedroom and throughout the house and even outside and I'm even naked at the moment love being naked. 💞

[ErinMumford]

awesome! less laundry

[BobbyC65]

LOL. 💞 And I spend all yesterday naked on and off during the day. 💞

[InfobotLives]

There is a good reason why the nudity of blood relatives is off putting. It's so we don't fuck our own relatives. Nature defined that we should be repulsed by nudity in our own families, just as it defined that we should be repulsed by the smell of shit.

I'm an expert in evolution and poop 👀

[Kelly6]

In our family nudity is ok.
I’m a nudist at home

[ErinMumford]

awesome! 😊 i think i will raise my children as nudists. i dont get the stigma of our bodies

[Lofas2121]

What will you do when they have friends over?

[ErinMumford]

if friends are over i put something on

[Red_Arrow]

I have been nude with my wife, and with my children when they were younger. We went to nude resorts a lot, and to nude beaches. Eventually it became necessary to not be so open due to my military career. I do envy some of your experiences.

[GoldieMane94]

Yea absolutely there is absolutely nothing wrong with it

[ErinMumford]

i agree!

[Wiredone]

I was raised a nudist so I raised my kids the same way. We are comfortable walking around the house and back yard naked

[ErinMumford]

awesome (:

[Wiredone]

I think it build self esteem in the kids. It did with me and my kids

[whatsthereinname]

To my understanding, nudity is not common and well accepted

The reason being since it's not very common and always been a taboo, it has been strongly associated with sexuality

For someone but from a nudist experience, seeing a woman naked will immediately give them boners and sexual thoughts

[Mangospacho]

If you grew up nudist and your family is comfortable being naked around each other then it’s not a big deal. Just wondering what happens when you bring a guy home and your mom walks in the living room topless. Do you give your boyfriend a heads up beforehand? Or does he just react like WTF?

[Anonymous]

Nope, we're all prudes. Except my aunt; she actually is a nudist. I was personally intrigued by the lifestyle; but I get erections too easily so I would be afraid of getting kicked out because of this.

[ErinMumford]

there's nothing wrong with getting erections. its totally natural! i see it all the time

[Opinion Owner]

Even if it is 8 hours out of the day?

[Lofas2121]

Me and my sisters often saw each other at least partially naked. We shared one bathroom and would see each other getting in and out of the shower

[ErinMumford]

do you mean when you were children?

[Lofas2121]

Yes!!!

[Lofas2121]

Even into our early teens

[ErinMumford]

when i visit my brothers and parents we still spend time naked, its totally normal for us!

[Lofas2121]

Can you send me a DM?

[Lofas2121]

My sisters used to giggle when they noticed I was hard.

[ErinMumford]

Gag won't let me

[Lofas2121]

I think you have to be a Level 2.

I'm still Level 1

[ErinMumford]

thats funny 😂^

[Lofas2121]

I'll be a level 2 soon.

[Jenngirl00]

It is actually common. I know of a few nudist families. I actually have a lot of nude colonies where I am from

[matchrestore]

Fellow nudist here- I was raised nudist/clothing optional as well with my sister, brother, mom and dad all nudist. It never felt weird. I'm still a nudist and my wife has embraced nudism as well.

[Anonymous]

it's weird because we didn't grow up like you did. that's why.

[Mark-IV]

I hate to be so blunt, but judging from your profile picture I can see that your “normal” is not normal to 99% of healthy people.

[najekim]

Because they are not open minded and blinded by religious dogma even though Pope John Paul II said mere nudity, like nudists/Naturists, is not sinful or shameful.

[Surely]

Because some people seem to be squeamish about their own bodies and think that everyone should be.
Amazing that people are able to get pregnant. Since the human body is so taboo!

[NorthwestRider]

Both my fiancée and myself go naked around our house and on property. We all love going to nude beaches

[nawtee_me]

And friends too. I see nothing wrong with being nude in my own house. If someone doesn't like it they can call me on the phone.

[Anonymous]

It's ok, to be nude around family members (or infront of others)
It's ok, to talk sexual stuffs with them Openly..

But rising children as nudist?
Will it okay, if they fall in incest?

[Opinion Owner]

And how will you deal that when you got to know about them?
