[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 527339, member: 1233"] Some of this is definitely unique to different cultures, some to different generations. I do NOT think occasionally seeing a parent nude in an unsexual situation could cause the problems that your chld has. Personally I don't see a problem with it - take reasonable measures to ensure privacy but kids don't always knock and sometimes they see a parent unclothed. It is FAR healthier, in my opinion, to handle it in a calm way and ask for privacy than to run and hide and make a big deal. Making a big deal gives the message that there is something wrong with an unclothed human body. There isn't. We all have them, they come in all shapes and sizes and it is natural. What could be more natural than the unclothed human body? I have to mention a memory this brings up. I worked in a restaurant with a 'hippie' vibe. The decor rotated from the owner's kite collection to some lovely sketches of nude females.. These were on the walls for at least 2 decades. In the party room at one time there was a poster of a group of meercats standing up. We actually had a church youth group ask us to cover the meercats or move them to the main dining room (with the nude pictures) because it was somehow inappropriate for these teens (13-16) to see the 'private parts' of the meercats.
