Nakedness

My recent experiences made me wonder: how comfortable are you being naked in front of others (someone other than your spouse)...friends or family? (like your mom or sisters etc.). What kind of a relationship do you have with your mom? Do you talk about sex and masturbation and toys and stuff? Ever see another woman masturbating (a friend, sister, mom etc.) Just curious. Hope to hear from lots of you about your own experiences.

I believe that it is very important to be comfortable with our own bodies. We have raised our children from a very early age to feel comfortable being nude with us and with each other. At the same time we have encouraged an open discussion about ANYTHING. As a result I feel that we have very well adjusted children (teens). Unlike some children, there is no giggling about nudity; the kids have a good healthy attitude to the human body in general and sexuality in particular.

I am not really all that comfortable being naked around family. Probably came from the time when I was 8 years old and my mother told me that I was "too old to be seen naked by family members." I recently vacationed with some family and the doors were always locked anytime I had to change or shower, even though there were no opposite gendered family members or friends present. No talking about sex or masturbation or anything has ever happened. As far as my friends go, I'm a little less modest. For friends that are also women, it's not really a big deal to see them naked or for them to see me naked and we'll even talk about masturbation, sex, etc. Seeing them do it? No, that would probably cross a line.

Thankfully, what I experience with SOs, sexual partners, and the like has been far from modest! I haven't had much issue being naked in those regards.

Well, fair enough - but I don't think anyone wants to see their parents sans clothes, whatever their physique.

Au contraire!. My parents are in very good shape for their ages (early 70's now) and when I was growing up I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when they were having sex.

I bet it was really hot and nasty! Where else would I have gotten my debauched, perverted genes?

Im not comfortable with that at all. Or rather I'm comfortable with it but find nudity offensive when I have to see naked or half naked people I either don't want to or am not supposed to see that way. It doesn't come from my parents as they certainly don't have a problem with it and they always complain when I lock the door when I shower or refuse to try on new clothes in front of my mom even when I can leave my bra on.

It's interesting actually. I had no problem running around my ex bf's apartment bottomless or topless while he was watching or showering in front of him but if anyone from my family or someone else comes in without knocking or just happens to see me "indecent" it's the end of the world and I've complained and brought it up for days after.

I grew up in a household where my father worked second shift, so with no man around, my mother, older sister and I thought nothing about running around nude. Last month, my husband and I rented a house at the beach and while the men were out playing golf, my stepdaughter, mother and I laid out topless. And several times, my mother and I ran around the house fully nude.

I do admit to being a bit shamed in front of my mother when I am nude, because at 67 she has a far better body than either I or my stepdaughter.

I was always comfortable with my body but my mother was very modest. I spent a lot of time at my neighbor's and she lived alone and was the direct opposite of my mother and was very open about nudity. It was nothing for her to walk around nude and she never closed doors including the bathroom door. Anna

My family was brought up not to be naked around each other,at least not after my sister and I where over the age of about five or six anyway. I started sleeping naked as a teenager and to this day enjoy the feeling of slipping naked between the sheets as a ....not the done thing,from my upbringing ......sort of feeling.

My wife,whom I have only been with for four years, also enjoys sleeping naked.In fact we go to bed sometimes wearing night clothes so we can enjoy slowly taking them off!!!!!! She says she used to sleep with nightwear on but has come to enjoy being naked with me. Occasionally we go to a beach where nudism is allowed and I love strolling along the Beach with her, she has a great body and I feel so proud to see the looks she gets of appraisal and appreciation. When we swim I especially enjoy the feeling of the water flowing over my cock and past my balls and over my bottom. We usually rest for a while in the shallows, she always puts her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. I love to see her lovely breasts bobbing in the waves and occasionally feel her nipples, erect from the cool water, brush my chest. My cock is usually erect and she teasingly lowers herself so the head strokes her lips and bottom.

When we wade out hand in hand and go and lie down together on our towels, it is delicious to share that feeling of freedom together and know that our bodies are on display to whomever walks past, with no shame or embarrassment.

I'm STILL waiting to have the "sex talk" with her! We had to figure this out all on our own!

I never had any kind of talk like that either, with neither of my parents ... and I hasten to say, for this I thank all the gods ever worshiped since the dawn of time. Being spared the utter embarrassment of parental sexual education was a blessing.

Thank goodness for the publishing industry. Even in my younger days there were more than enough good sexual education books you could easily buy.

I'm comfortable with my mum seeing me naked, perhaps a few female friends or relatives such as cousins as well.. That's all, I personally get embarrassed very easily and I'm glad I've never had to undress in front of a doctor, even if it was needed it would be really hard for me. I usually talk about masturbation jokingly with some friends. 😜 I admire anyone who isn't afraid to show off their body, really, it's great not to feel ugly or exposed when naked.

My wife died from cancer 4 years ago; we used to have lots of fun, and I miss the times we had together terribly.

My sister saw me naked once, while she was staying with me after the funeral. I got a cheerful, "Nice to see you!" It was the first chuckle we'd had since Martha's death. But do I go around exposing myself? NO.

And my late wife never needed to masturbate, all she had to do was to give me a certain look, or me her, and we both knew to eat a light dinner.

I was not comfortable at home as I came from a totally non nudist family. If you exclude undressing for b/f and in the changing room I first went totally nude at mixed boarding school. During the week you wore a swim suit in the pool but on Saturday if you wanted (and you had no choice) you all went nude. I thought I was cool with nudity in front of b/f's but when I first stepped out on to the pool side nude in front of everyone else, half of me was terrified, the other half exhilarated.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, Wanderer. My condolences.

When I visit my parents house I do walk around in my underwear but not naked , my younger sister knows I like going to nude beaches, few years ago I invited her to go on vacation with me to a nude beach, she declined. I guess she was more worry about her body than about seeing me naked. Going to a nude beach is exciting for me, I like seeing bodies of all shapes and sizes, I feel better in the nude than wearing a bathing suit

Not comfortable. My mom was always naked around us growing up, and I guess it had an opposite effect, where I hate being naked around her and my sister. I don't mind changing in the same room as my friends, but for some reason not my family.

Growing up, my parents were fairly relaxed about covering up although they drew the line at underwear. I never felt embarrassed or ashamed of running around the house in the altogether when I was younger. When I got older and started developing breasts and pubic hair I stopped parading around naked, but I never did feel the need to be embarrassed if I happened to be seen in my undies. No biggie. Later, in my married life, I never gave it a thought. After all, if you can't feel comfortable around your spouse who can you be comfortable with?

Coming from a totally non-nudist family in my youth I am now proud to say that having married and given birth my new family are nudists.

While I like being naked around the house and in front of a significant other I have never spent time naked around family or friends. Nude beaches are something I have always been curious about though.

I have no problem with nudity, both mine, and others.

I am envious of Europeans and their attitudes towards nudity, particularly on public beaches. Living in Ohio, there are over one hundred miles of lakefront on Lake Erie. One would think that there might be at least one or two public beaches along that shoreline that would permit nude sunbathing and swimming... at the very least a topless beach or two. For a country so advanced in other areas, we certainly lag behind in this area.

I'm often nude around the house, and totally enjoy it. I wasn't raised in a nudist home, so, perhaps I'm reacting to my oppressive upbringing.

I consider the human body to be both natural, and beautiful, and wish more felt this way.

(apologies for getting up on my soap box on this topic)

I used to love nude beaches and skinny dipping. Sadly my body ain't what it used to be.

I'm far from being a raving beauty - but I have become a lot more comfortable being naked, either taking my clothes off, or having them taken off. I'm a late bloomer - and the more I am naked, seen naked, the more I feel good about myself. It is just something that blows my mind - it is probably because I am coming to terms with being an ELGTLHHP. 😉

I'm right there with ya - but don't let that keep you from feeling good about being naked with someone who wants you as much as you want them. Just sayin' 😉

I don't have a perfect body, and I also hunch abit when I stand. However, I do believe I look ravishing naked. I love nudity and hope to someday embrace that kind of life style, at least in my own home.

I am comfortable about heing naked in front of others. However, I know that people around me will not be comfortable with any type of nudity. I am also very open to talk about my sexual habits and activities, including masturbation and what turns me on.

I do draw the line with family members. No parents, siblings or extended families will ever see me walking around naked.

I'm pretty comfortable around the house in the nude but have never done or felt comfortable with anything more public than that. Oh, there was some skinny dipping, including at a doctor friend's house when I was a resident. There were a couple of nurses there as well. I had had way too much to drink but they had all joined me. I recall having a lot of fun and woke up (came to?) in bed with one of the nurses.

Marina---I am surprised that you would not be more comfortable naked in front of your family members than people who once were strangers to you. It is so much easier not to put on clothes around the house than to go to a stranger and find out his feelings, get his permission, and so on.

Oh, I know exactly how she feels. I could easily stand in front of total strangers totally butt naked without a problem. But doing the same thing in front of family or other people I know would be terrifying. I'm sure we're not the only ones who feel this way.

I´d agree with this too. I´m not talking about my wife, but other relations or members of family. No way would I wish to naked or nude with them. Not my siblings or parents in any case. I might make an exception for a pretty (female) cousin perhaps (a kissing cousin if you will), but those days are long past I fear ... ha ha.

And there are also many good friends of many years with whom I also would not wish to do so either. I think that (sadly perhaps) I´ve always been too serious with friends, or maybe that is just the path of least resistance for someone with my character type. I would worry too much what they thought of me. While with total strangers I could care less what they think.

My sister and I both had no problems being nude in our house .... and many times mom, who always had a great body without even trying (we were all so jealous) joined in ... but we never went around in the buff when dad was home. Us three women enjoyed being in the buff, when it was possible. Dad was the only male member of the family. Originally, as youngsters, we'd have to get rid of our clothes when mom gave us our enemas ... and prior to being teens, my sister and I would shower/bathe together ... and when were would get home from school, usually two or three hours before dad and mom got home from work, we'd get rid of our clothes and have our own "clothes-free society." No, there was nothing sexual about it ... unless if giving each other enemas occasionally ... it was just the absolute freedom that made us feel so good. Most days we'd spend at least an hour in the buff doing our school homework, maybe even cleaning house and about 5 p.m. each day we'd begin preparing the evening meal, by 5:30 we were fully dressed ... in the evening and on weekends when dad was home, we were a typical Saturday Evening Post family. we loved our lifestyle.

No one's body is perfect, and mine is no exception. I've come to accept it, and feel quite comfortable being nude, and around other nudists. It is just so comfortable, relaxing, and natural. I love it.

No problem at all around strangers, been many times in optional clothing venues
