Sibling nudity. What's the issue with it people?

in a conversation with a friend he expressed that he and his sister are completely comfortable in the nude around one another. I am comfortable around my sister and she is comfortable around me as well. what's the big deal? is there anyone else who has no nudity issue with opposite-sex siblings?

  • It has to do with your environment growing up. If your family found nudity in the home acceptable and that is what you grew up with, then that is what you would likely accept. If your family visited nude facilities with you during your time living with them, that is likely what you would find to be what you believe to be right. If your family was not that way, but later enough of your friends were that way, you would probably find it acceptable.

    Seeing your sister nude as you grow up, you would still be excited by other women nude that you had an interest in, but in a healthy nudist environment (home or facility), you would not be sexually attracted to your sister. If you had not had that kind of environment, but had occasion to see your sister nude, it probably would arouse you. In fact that has been mentioned by many guys here as happening to them.

    Maybe none of these situations is like yours and yet you accept nudity around your sister. Then you apparently arrived at a healthy relationship in another way.

    Outside of the family, opposite gender nudity is also common, even without any sexual contact. It is likely that most men and perhaps even most women would find an interest is observing the other sex, but not necessarily with interest in making contact. For instance, you could be on a nude beach and appreciate nude bodies without wanting to jump every good looking body on the beach!

    In the past, I have shared living arrangements with women, even sleeping in the same be nude with them, without any sexual contact. They were friends for a long time that I did not have a sexual relationship with.

    There are many guys that will never understand that you can be nude with the opposite gender without sex coming into the picture. But it works for a lot of people. In the USA the idea of this kind of nudity is even harder for many to accept than in many other countries.

  • If my family was nudist, and I had a sister my age, I would probably feel comfortable being nude around family members. Nudity and sex are different things. It's hard for some people to understand that, but it's true. Nudity and sex are different. So, being nude around your siblings does not mean anything sexual. It's just a way/form of life. Totally normal.

  • I haven't seen my sister naked since we went through puberty. Of course there were baths taken together as little kids and such, but after that I don't really think I would be comfortable with the idea. It's not like we're prudes, she'll sometimes walk around in underwear after a shower and it not a big deal or anything.

  • Oversexed society. People think nude equals sex.

  • My brother is only thirteen months younger than me, and we are in the same situation. we have no issue hanging out together naked,
    On warm summer days we will often undress and hang out with no clothes on.

  • i don't have siblings but I wouldn't be comfortable with that. it would feel awkward to me even if we're blood related Lol

  • Nudity doesn't bother me...but my sister?...I wouldn't want to see her nude...it's bad enough with clothes...only thing worse would be my mother..o.O

  • I can say I took a bath with a good friend of mines was a boy when we were little kids.

  • I'm always nude or topless at home. it's no big deal. my bro sees me like that and I see him pretty frequently.

  • I wouldn't care if my sister saw me naked. Not sure how she would feel about it though. I used to try to let her catch peaks when we were teens.

  • I walk around topless when I is just me and my cousin sister :)

  • Looking back into my early years I wonder how does perception and outlook of a person changes overtime. I vividly remember poverty at our home. Both mom and dad were earning but too little to feed and bring us up properly. At a small two roomed apartment, we five persons were living: we three siblings nd mom & dad. They had one room while other was shared by me and two sisters, one elder and one younger. Both were 9 & 4, I was about 6. Small room couldn't provide us privacy. We had to do school work, sleep and change clothes there. It was the period when we saw each others in minimum clothes, and sometimes nude. Seeing each other was exciting as well as embarrassing but as the time passed, we accepted the reality. A time came when without inhibition and caring for our body, we accommodated each others' nudity. And that nudity became normal and comfortable for us. We still don't care though now live separate.

  • That's just so weird.
