Born in the '80s and have probably seen most family members nude. I think it’s a European thing, it’s just not a big deal. Not that people walk around naked on purpose, but if you need to change your clothes or something you don’t run away and hide, or make five people hold up towels around you, or perform complex clothes manoeuvres. So I still see my parents naked if there is good reason to take clothes off. Recently, we all went to the beach and it was warmer than expected, so we all went skinny dipping.
When we were young we’d have baths with mum and/or dad. We’d change in the communal/family changing rooms at the pool.
I’ve even seen both my grandmothers naked plenty of times. Actually, with Granny it’s pretty surprising, because she is in her eighties, English, upper-middle class and conservative. But ever since I can remember she just gets changed even if I’m around, no big deal. And I’ve seen Grandpa skinny dipping in mountain streams.
Nudity as dirty and embarrassing seems pretty strange to me!
I remember showering at least once with my dad when I was in about 1st grade, I think.
I also remember walking out into the living room after I had a nightmare at around that same age, to see my parents wrestling naked on the couch. I didn’t know WHAT they were doing at the time, but I knew I needed to go away quickly and pretend it never happened.
I am 27. Yes, dad quite often, mom maybe twice.
When I was 3-4 years old, I think I may have seen them having sex also. I had just woken up from sleep.
I have very vague image of my mom on top sitting on my dad in my mind. Very vague, as good as erased from memory.
Male, 45. When I was growing up my parents used to go out to dinner every Saturday night, and my sister and I would babysit our little brother and sister. Anyway, we used to hang out in my parents’ bedroom and watch their TV when they were getting ready; I don’t know why because the TV downstairs was much better, but I guess we liked seeing them dress up and look nice. This one night my dad came out of the bathroom after showering and walked over to his dresser to put some clothes on, but in doing so he crossed in front of us as we were watching TV. I still recall being amazed by the size of his dick- I was probably 12 or 13 and still waiting for things to kick in down there on myself, and I remember thinking “wow- I guess mine will eventually get that big, but jeez!” And now that I’m an adult and have logged many, many hours of porn viewing, I can safely say that his is one of the largest flaccid dicks I’ve ever seen. But that’s the only time I saw my dad naked. My sister was sitting right next to me, so she saw him too.
Never saw my mom in anything less than a bra and slip, and that was only once. I’m fine with that.
My daughters still see me and my wife naked all the time; they’re 9 & 11. We teach them that nudity is fine and nothing to be ashamed about, but we limit it to the bedroom level. We tell them to put something on if they’re going down to the first floor, what with its glass front door, numerous windows and slider to the back deck. Not that we can be seen, unless there’s an unexpected guest at the door. We can barely even see one other house from our property, but we’re just trying to establish some guidelines.
Dad, no. Grumpy and in his underpants if you woke him up early for something; once or twice in a towel after a shower. Dad just generally wasn’t naked; he doesn’t even like being barefoot.
Mom, all the time. My mother is the sort who will finish up housework by stripping off what she was wearing and pitching it in the washing machine, then walking starkers back through the house to put on something fresh. She used to sunbathe topless and I remember her complaining about a peeling sunburn once and me just responding, “Well, keep your swimsuit on next time.”
I’ve done dance, theater, modeling and other performing arts off and on my entire life. Naked is not a big deal backstage. The last time I did a catwalk show, girls were stripping off the borrowed wardrobe as soon as they hit the green room door. I occasionally pose for art nudes. Most of the reason I’m not more naked generally in everyday life is because I’m a redhead and the sun is my mortal enemy – wearing hot pants outside would likely result in sunburns uncomfortably high on the thighs.
I walked in my dad and mom’s room and saw my dad laying naked on his bed, asleep. He was laying with his butt up. I was around 9 at this time. Another time I saw him when I was around 7. He was laying with his face facing the ceiling (:eek:), asleep again.
When I saw my mom naked, she knew because we are both female and I was sometimes in her room when she changes out of her work uniform to pajamas. Also I used to take showers with her while I was 3. But no other times after that.
I’m male, born in 54. Father came from Germany mother from Indiana. I saw both of them nude ofter. We were not nudest but there was no requirement for clothes around the house except mom said we had to wear PJ to bed during the school year. In the summer we slept nude. We kids would often take bathes with mom or dad. My sister and I often took baths together till I was 11 or 12. I don’t know why it stopped. I think it may have been because we started taking showers. I still saw her nude as she ran around the house nude. it was no big deal for us. We had a hot tub in the back yard and the rule was no clothe in it for health reasons. Dad said it was the right temperature to bred bacteria.
Dad would take us to a men’s club on Saturday afternoon for swim lessons and to swim. Their pool was nude use only since it was only men. But on Saturday afternoons they could bring there kids. the rules said the girls had to be under 10 but it really was they needed to not have hit puberty yet. My sister went till she was 12. A girl in my middle school home room was still going swimming in the 7th grade when she was 13.
My mom’s mom would have a cookie backing day in the summer. I think it had something to do with her birthday. All the grand-kids would come over to bake cookies. As soon as we got in the house we would leave our clothes in the living room, and head for the kitchen. Where we would bake lots and lots of cookies. Nobody noticed we were nude or that grandam was nude also. When done we all were sent to the back yard and hosed down to get us clean. I have seen a picture of 22 nude kids and grandma in the kitchen. My sister oldest was 13 or 14 and the youngest was about 3.
I did walk in on mom and dad having sex a few times. The first time I asked what they were doing and dad said he would tell me later and asked to leave. I was 7 or 8 at the time. Later he and mom sat down with me and explained they were having sex and it was something adults do. They then answered my questions in an age appropriate way. Because of that I could always talk to them about sex. Another time was when they were in the backyard doing it. I had been out with my girl friend and did not have a key to the front door and knew the back door was open. She and I just slipped through and did not let them know we had seen them. By that time my girl friend and I had had sex in the backyard ourselves.
My brother, sister, and I saw our parents (and each other) nude all the time. We were five growing up in a small house with one bathroom and no air conditioning. We used the bathroom at the same time–had to. It was no big deal. With my kids it was fairly casual, but we had two bathrooms and didn’t have to use them at the same time, so I don’t recall parading around nude that much, although I would come down for breakfast on hot mornings wearing nothing but a pair of jockey shorts. It was all very casual.
Mom, yes, on a number of occasions as a child and adult–showers, locker rooms, skinny-dipping in our pool at night. She was something of a hippy-chick in her youth and isn’t self-conscious about nudity even as an old lady.
Dad’s more prudish but I think I must have at some time.
Now and then. it was never a big deal. I saw my stapdad naked too once in a while. I don’t really like being naked except in obvious situations, but I don’t care if other people do.
Yes. My mom went in the shower with me when I was moving from baths to showers because I was scared. And probably other times in passing. Pop I’ve seen naked when he would change out of work clothes after painting or working outside. No one made a point to walk around naked but it wasn’t a taboo thing.
Male born mid 50s saw both my parents naked since we lived in a small house one bath. We had a open shower in the basement. Was used mostly in the summer. Use to change clothing with mom at the pool till age 5 or 6. At that point in time they thought it best to change with dad and bro. Took baths with bro and my dad showed me the proper way to bathe at age 3 or 4.
Nudity was not a big issue in our home. When bro and I were in puberty we were a little more modest but that was do to body changes. Mom would cover up but nothing major if we saw her nude unexpectedly.
Dad was not shy about being nude and would shower with us in the basement and when we went to the gym or pool. He was uncut and we were cut which lead to questions. Both parents made it very clear to us that we could ask them anything about bodies or sex. They always wanted us to not feel being nude and or sex was dirty.
I can not recall seeing them having sex. We heard them a few times on quiet summer nights. Just a squeaky bed. I do recall at age 20 stopping by on a Saturday night and the TV was on and drinks on the coffee table but no one in the living room. So I just waited 20 minutes or so and they came down stairs in pajamas they knew that I knew what was going on but it was no big deal it was not mentioned but they were both very relaxed and dad had a bit of a smile.
My parents healthy view about nudity and sex helped me have a healthy attitude about my body and sex. So many people are very modest these days. Being nude does not have to equate to sex as many seem to feel these days.
I have never seen my mom naked but I saw my dad naked all the time b/c he
came out the bathroom with only a facecloth covering his penis and it didn’t do a very good job ! Dad grew up in Russia in the 1800’s in a village and lived in a one room house so the whole family saw everyone naked all the time , so dad thought nothing of being naked in front of his 3 daughters and son.
