Is 8 too young for a boy to see a girl naked?

I saw a girl naked younger than that. I don’t think it really affects you one way or another. Until you hit puberty you don’t really care that much. My friends sister had a crush on me when I was like 6 or 7 and she use to get naked and hide under their bed or in a hamper and stuff like that and then pop out butt naked and flash me. I just thought she was weird at that age. If a kid happens to see another kid naked it’s not the end of the world, unless it’s something nefarious like some pedophile porno thing where kids are being sexually abused.

Your question is not clear. If a boy is two, then he could see any age girl and not realize there is anything different about it. So you might ask, at what age is a boy to old to see a girl naked. Yet, if clothing is not a big issue with the people involved, age does not matter. If you are looking for an answer to something we have not understood, please try to clarify what you are asking and I will be glad to help.

I simply have more questions.
Why did the the eight-year-old see the girl naked
Was this girl the same age or younger
Was this girl an adult
Was this girl in anyway related to the child
And what is the cultural background
all these things matter in answering your question
In certain cultures nudity is acceptable even amongst children.

However if it it's an adult preying on a child then that is completely wrong.

It depends on the context in which it happens.

At family nudist resorts entire families are there so it is normal to see nudity in all age groups and by all age groups.

If in a situation elsewhere where anything creepy is involved, then no, it is wrong!

Agreed... I grew up in a very nude friendly home. My mom, dad, two brothers, and I always saw each other nude. It's never been a big deal. Except for my mom, who has passed, we will still get naked in front of each other. Nudity is normal!

[laurieluvsit]

@JessPHX Yes! Agreed :)

It really depends in the context. Are you talking about nudity within the immediate family? Have the children always seen the rest of the family naked? Would this be the first time that the boy saw a nude girl? Who would the girl be? Neighbor? Friend? Cousin? Are we talking about skinny dipping in the pool? Taking a bath together? Just sitting around watching TV naked? Why would you be giving this boy this experience at this particular age if this would be new for him?

[matchrestore]

I don't think so, I think it's fine for kids to see nudity at any point. (In the right contexts of course).

[janette802]

Depends on the context. When I was young I learned to swim in a course. The changing room was the same for boys and girls so we saw each other naked but we absolutely don't care.

[ushagomez]

There is no problem with anyone seeing other people naked at any age.

[summiter]

I think it depends on who the girl is.. but probably it is too young.

[modelUN242]

Yeah

[EmmaMary]

Depends how old the girl is and for what reason.

[ChocoBrownieMonster]

It's not wrong if its a girl same age. But you shouldn't be showing a child your naked body.

[Dansnlawlipop]

No.

Children not seeing bodies is part of the reason they have so many self esteem issues when they are older. Also, it may help (accompanied by proper education) to remove so much of the stigma we have around nudity and sex.

[NarutoUzumaki007]

nah it's not

[Reaperbot666]

some mothers will bring their young kids into the changing room with them.
but aside from that unless they grew up in a nudist or hippie style family.
does seem to be a bit young for modern standards.

[Samoht_Sirrom1]

As long as you're available to answer questions immediately after why not? Fyi at 6 I was sexual (my 8 year old girlfriend started it though) but then again my mom and dad didn't ask me questions or even care about it even when they caught us kissing... And other stuff

[Dargil]

At age 8, it doesn't matter much to boys. They aren't serialized yet. I saw my cousin and my only reaction was: How does she pee?

[cheapshotbob]

lol my nephew was like that he wanted to know why girls have 2 butts lol

[SlothySlob]

I don't think children have any sort of sexual drive at such a young age. At that age he'll be worried he's going to get cooties from her.

[angeliquedevereux2]

Ok, odd. If we're talking mum? No. Random women getting changed at the beach or something? No. Anything that was just a non-sexual and day to day experience? No. On a movie or from a sexual relationship (aka being raped) YES.

[Drumlin2001]

If kids playing then no (for example and impromptu dip in paddling pool with fellow 8 yr old on a hot day). But to see an adult, yeah probably

[Ripper_E]

That when I saw my first woman naked. It was my neighbor and I was peeping through her window because I was curious. I shouldn't have done it, but that's how it happened.

[watrewks]

I mean I think it does depend. If you mean deliberately showing an 8 year old boy a naked person, well that would then be a crime. But I don’t think that all forms of nudity are inappropriate.

[JKingOff]

Depends on the circumstances. I mean we all develop at different rates, but you can't have a successful relationship until you're 18 at least. The law won't allow it. If you're talkin about an 8 year old boy accidentally seen a girl naked then there really is no age that is too young for that. Accidents happen, and they're not age-restricted. If you're talkin about an 8 year old boy seeing a girl naked and becoming aroused then that just depends on the individual.

[coolaboola]

Depends on the situation. Its so sad that we sexualise nudity consantly when it is our natural state.
