How old are your brothers? As a general rule, human males actually go through different phases psychologically related to their ages.

As a general rules, very little boys - toddlers, for example - don't care one way or the other. They are not psychologically aware of nudity and at their ages there is not enough self-awareness for them to be modest.

Then, as boys get into - and these are general ranges - the 4 to 13 year old range, they tend to get VERY modest. They will object to being seen naked at all and will even, for example, insist on wearing long pants and such. (When they were smaller, do you ever remember your mom saying to your brothers, "Oh, c'mon! I saw you before you saw yourself!!)

Then as boys enter puberty, at first they become even more self-conscious and don't want to be seen naked. Things like getting pubic hair and chest hair make them more self-conscious.

However, beginning at about age 15 or so, the male's natural instinct is to display, so to speak. This is an evolutionary trait as the male's - now capable of producing sperm and reproducing - sex drive and need to reproduce in evolutionary terms, takes over. Then at that point, males will tend to walk around nude, even in public.

After that, social and cultural factors become a more dominant force. Some males will flout the rules, so to speak. Others will dress as appropriate.

Please note, by the way, that the above is a general psychological analysis. Cultural, social and family influences will all play their parts.

Without knowing how old your brothers are and what your family life has been as they have grown up, it is not really possible to answer your question specifically. However, overall, particularly if they are in their teens and early 20s, their behavior is pretty normal and will fade as they grow older.

For the moment, though, evolutionary psychology is at work. They are doing what comes naturally, so to speak.

Depends on the culture and their personal comfort with their own skin.

In some cultures, nearly everyone is comfortable being completely naked between the shower and their room. In other cultures, people change in the bathroom and you never get to see bare chests, never mind private parts.

America and Great Britain tend to be on the pruder side of things. However, even in those countries, all you have to do is go to a public swimming pool and you'll see quite a few people hanging out completely naked in the locker room.

Studies have shown that people begin to develop a sense of modesty around puberty. After puberty, there's one more big break: when people leave home to go to university, they often come back home and are suddenly uncomfortable with the amount of nakedness they used to display at home, because it's no longer their home anymore, just a temporary summer residence.

Aside from that, though, many boys (and some girls) will never develop that sense of modesty, particularly amongst family. You telling them to stop will only give them the attention they want. Try your best to ignore it.

Try laughing at their tiny dicks. Shame them and they may stop.

Just do this and they'll cover up next time

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

I don't think this is boys in general... it sounds more like a family thing.

I mean... they're getting told and they don't listen... and then they are just strutting around flopping their dicks around? 😂 In front of their sister? 🤣

My family wasn't like that and I don't think most families are like that. My Mom would've grabbed me by the hair and thrown me outside... then my Dad, her, and my sisters would probably laugh at me through the window. My Great Grandparents would've shamed the shit out of me... Great Grandma would've probably called me a nasty little pervert or something like that... probably start swatting me with that rolled-up newspaper she'd always smack me with.

If my dad and brother are any anything to go by, not any time soon

From 12 to around 15 there are hard-ons flying around, then they cover up. Coincidentally, they seem to get girlfriends around age 15 and leave me alone.

Apple1996 · Answer

Like never. Boys/men don't have shame about their bodies enough to feel the need to cover up

SarahP080102 · Answer

Never, I've found most boys/men are proud of it especially if hard and want people to see it.

Mansearching · Answer

When at home, since I'm a care giver to my mother, I wear clothes in and out.

Now when I lived alone I didn't. I admit I didn't when I had those strippers as roommates. We were adults and seen naked people before and nudity didn't bother us. I don't wear clothes around my girlfriend now in her room at her place. I will when leave the room bc of her kids tho.

The older we (guys) get, the more common sense we get.

spartan55 · Answer

I have always at least had a towel. I will get naked in front of anyone. But there is good naked and naked to be an asshole. Your brothers are just fucking weird. I wouldn't want my sister seeing my dong all floppin around.

Samantha_17 · Answer

Well, boys never hid things up - at least in where I grew up..! :)

Lynnalove · Answer

I have a little brother and he always tried to hide it, he's 8 , I hope he keeps doing that

Boomchakalaca · Answer

I dont think ur brothers would want to c u running around naked. So taboo to me 😳

epicsoundwaves · Answer

I'm in my 30s and still do it. There's no reason for me to cover up even it's me and my partner.

For them, though, their definitions of modesty and inappropriate behavior likely differ from your fundamentally.

MementoMori777 · Answer

depends on how comfortable they are around the house i guess, pretend to be on facetime and see what happens lol

Bricealan · Answer

You didn't say their ages, but seems pretty common for adolescents. Then again, when I played basketball, the locker room was full of guys running around naked showing off their 'short comings'. Never understood that kind of exhibitionism.

HaveNoName · Answer

Fortunately I do not come up from a fucked up culture or society. As soon as we started going to elementary school, we developed that sense of shame, be it friends or family. Only parents could see in case of medical problems, or a doctor.

Why don't you just look the other way would be my response!

They may never stop making that trip without clothes. It is probably intentional.

Some guys never bother to cover up. I was brought up in a nudist family so everyone in my house was always naked unless we had guests that were uncomfortable with it

RHK36 · Answer

I have siblings and never did this. Y'all were raised weird if that's a normal occurrence because it's definitely not normal.

BeMuse · Answer

I've always wore a towel getting out of the shower as far back as I remember. So I've at least been doing that since at least 3 years old.

Meropatrick · Answer

If he is no longer a baby then he should start cover up. It never happened in my family men or women to walk around naked.

runnerboy · Answer

Are they older or younger than u? If it bothers u just tell them. If they won't stop just tell them that they should cover up their small parts

joeND · Answer

very early on like 5 or 6. Mom had 5 kids and 1 bathroom, we used bathroom while 4 siblings were in the bathroom brushing teeth or combing hair etc, after I was 6 that all stopped.

strateguy632 · Answer

um between age 3 and 4 years old. older is creepy.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Well, boys will be boys, I used to do the same thing, my mother would just ignore me with a crazy stare.

cosmosis181 · Answer

There is no specific age, but in your case, they're your brothers, so they're just doing it to annoy you, and it's working.

Sanser · Answer

How old are them? I think that from I was 8 years I cover myself when i have taken a bath...

Valso · Answer

I did the same in an attempt to turn my sister on and make her take the thing in her own hands (pun intended). It worked but I guess she's too much brainwashed by the society and she never did.

RavVid · Answer

It does seem to be one of those innate male/female differences.
