Parading around naked in front of family members or friends

[jw4833]

Hey Guys:

I bring this question to the forum because earlier today, I was meeting a friend and he asked me to come over to his place before we went out to meet others at a restaurant. However, once I sat down and he and I began to chat a minute, his "potential new boyfriend" had walked out of the bedroom totally naked and he spoke to me and even gave me a brief conversation as if it was nothing. I noticed the look on my buddy's face as if he was stunned that this guy's behavior.

This prompted me to think back to a several incident of this nature that I've witnessed and the various reactions that were displayed because of this naked behavior. For example, one in particular was the guy that I've mentioned in previous post that had raped me. Prior to that incident, he and I were good friends. I was also welcomed as a close friend by his immediate family which consisted of his father and his sister. This one particular evening, while hanging out, we stopped by the store that his father had owned and his father started this conversation with me about how his son would parade around naked in front of him and his sister as well as his grandparents when they would come for visits. His father was very displeased with this and asked my opinion. He wanted him to stop and show some respect to him and the rest of the family.

After we left the store, I had inquired about what his father had said in the store. He laughed it off and said that whenever he would come home from work or college, he would get naked and go to his sister's room or she would come over to his living area and they would conduct conversations while he paraded around butt naked as if it wasn't a big deal. Now mind you, this guy was around 27 yrs. old at this time and his sister was 30 yrs. old. and a virgin. Personally, I thought this was strange behavior for a brother and sister because I have ten siblings and there are more female siblings than males and we never paraded around naked in front of each other and have general conversations.

Therefore, what had happened earlier today had prompted me to bring this topic to the forum for others opinions. So, guys, what do you think about this? BTW, as always, thanks in advance to those who had taken time to read and respond. I am very appreciative that you did.

No, never! Parading naked around naked at home in front of family members is a no-no for me. It would be too awkward and it would feel too uncomfortable. To me I would feel awkward just walking around in my underwear around family members, so never naked. And the same goes for friends, unless it happens to be male friends and we're at a locker room in the gym. Even then I try cover up a bit with a towel or something.
But apparently some don't mind doing that. It's one thing if the family is so close that all of them don't mind doing that (even though I think that's weird too) but that only one is doing it while his father is not ok with it is even weirder...

in my family, nudity was never a problem, i grew up with seeing our parents nude and also my siblings, i think here in germany we have less problems with beeing nude be it in the family, among friends or in public, it is not offensive at all. when i go for sunbathing in a public park there are nudes everywhere and nobody cares, even in munich, which is in the middle of the most conservative catholic region of germany, you will find lots of nude sunbathers in the park
we are all born naked so why should we be offended by nudity? it is the most natural thing.

Nope, I would never, ever, ever do that. Its totally embarrassing either for me or family members or other people who saw that. I truly dont know what is your friend and his sister thinking, is it the same as exhibitionist? Person who like to get naked wherever and whenever they want? Same thing if I watching other people naked in front of me, I mean in live situation not video or photo, its gonna be really awkward situation. Although I'm a hottie, but its different, doing it in live situation than do a photoshoot. Imo

I think it is a cultural thing also as well as personal. I have no problems if and when my family sees me naked, and I've seen both of my parents naked many times. There is nothing sexual or weird, it is just natural.

Besides Finland is known about sauna, the family type one guys , and the correct way to go there is naked. I've been going to sauna for my entire life (our family's own as well as other family-type saunas) so being naked... Natural

It's a cultural thing, UK & USA are more timid about general nudity, but it's not the case in a lot of mainland Europe.

I wouldn't, having sex in public I never minded, as everyone else was at it or looking for it anyway but in everyday life it's too embarrassing, especially with family members or close non-sexual friends.

Just the way you're brought up and what you get used to.

I think sauna and outdoor bath like Onsen in Japan where several people do their stuff, you know, take a bath or relaxing their muscle, in one space is totally different situation and condition with this one. This is like purposely exposing his self knowing well that the location or occasions is not for that. If exposing your private area on public purposely when we know is not the right place to do it, is called a culture... No offense but are we still living in pre historic era? Imo

I wasn't talking about being flasher or anything weird. The way people see nakedness is different around the world and yes, that has something to do with culture.

 

[ihno]

I have no problem with nakedness, neither with friends - at a beach - or with family members. In our family there was never a problem with nakedness or anything. When I was a kid, I saw my partents naked occasionally as well as my sisters. Just happens and never a big deal.

Central-Europe...

Nudity and sex are not the same thing.

I blame the Victorians for convincing the British Isles and the US that just seeing flesh is akin to sexual activity.

Most of mainland Europe has a much more adult view of the human body. Nudity is just not an issue.

I find it very hard not to tell anyone who is embarrassed by nudity to just grow up already.

Hey HOTTIE:

Thanks for your response..I do agree with a lot that you've mentioned in your response. There are some guys who have responded that stated the fact that his behavior could quite possibly be a part of his culture which is Arab-American. However, what I was dumbfounded about that if this was a part of the culture, then why was the father annoyed and totally disapproved of him parading around like this in front of his sister and his grandparents. The sister had told me that it did bother her whenever he did this but he would ignore her.

In regard to my buddy's "potential new boyfriend", I have to say that although he is good looking, nice body, and was sporting a semi-erect cock at the time, I was somewhat uncomfortable and embarrassed to a certain degree due to the fact that he was supposedly trying to establish a relationship with my buddy and for him to appear that way in front of me who he really don't that well, it was just a little too bold.

Also, I do respect the functionality of various cultures in regard to what is acceptable or not acceptable, however, due to the culture that I was raised in when adult children parade around naked in front of their siblings and parents, it's pretty off balance for me and this is probably due to the culture that I raised in. Thanks again, HOTTIE!!!

Eeeeewwwwwww! Eeeeeeeeewwwwww! Now way no way near friends or family!

Having said that I can walk around naked with complete strangers, in fact I wouldn't even notice if I was naked in some circles. Weirdly other people are the exact opposite.

I grew up seeing nudity as something natural within my family (AKA: my parents), but only allowed within the secrecy and sanctity of our own private place surrounded by those you trust the most. I wouldn't mind seeing someone who happens to be really close to me naked. Let's say a friend and or a confident, since it creates a higher level of intimacy in my opinion, but I don't think I would feel completely confortable seeing someone unfamiliar to me so blatantly exposed. I think I would simply "retreat within myself" as I tend to do when I see something unpleasant, unexpected or disturbing and fake equanimity and composture.

Answering your question, I see it as something acceptable as long as it is with someone you trust implicitly and in a place of absolute confort, security and privacy. I'd feel offended if someone is so careless as to undress before me without even knowing me, without creating a bond of sorts. I'm very prudish about this type of affairs, much to my own dismay.

Greetings, beautiful one.

My brother and I walk around each other naked all the time.

Thanks for making me blush; :blushing:

Omg, I don't even like partners seeing me walk around in my underwear, let alone naked, let alone my family! LOL.

 

[drewguy]

walking around naked its something That never got done in my house of five brothers and 2 sisters at home growing up us boys were taught to respect our sisters... some think its ok some people don't personally it not something I would do only with the one i love etc or just with at the time and if so like in the case of your friend knowing how his father feels I feel he should consider others feelings as well it ok to be your self but don't make others uncomfortable in the process nice body or not

 

[someonealone]

doesn't work at my home... nope... never

 

[Georgie]

No way!

 

[tonka]

I grew up in a two bedroom apartment with mom and dad and three brothers. Naked? Never!
I never saw mom naked. I only saw dad naked at a boy scout camp. I've never seen my brothers naked.
I've become more comfortable with my body as I became an adult. But within the confines of the American culture. Even now, sauna at the gym...towel around the waist.
