Are you repulsed or uncomfortable with the human body? does it make you uncomfortable the idea of people naked.. even in their own home? do you disipline your children for wanting to walk around naked or do you encourage them to feel free to be naked at home?

I'm very comfortable with nudity---however once my daughter came around and my son turned 13 I feel like it's time for my husband and I to cover up. I will go topless on a beach and wear thongs. I am very (was) comfortable with my body.

i think thats awesome! It just boggles my mind when ppl say any part of the body is gross.. and I wonder how we got that way? when i was younger we were taught nothing was to be shown and i remember always wanting to be naked but never could not even in my own room... my granny was strict she saw the desire to be naked as a sin basically.

Nudity isn't sexual. The human body is what it is, I am not uncomfortable with nudity, nor do I throw a fit about it.  Sometimes what people wear is more sexual than the body itself. 

Ask me about my suicide...

i agree! but almost no one ive encountered thinks like that... the body is just a bart of nature like a cat or a dog or a bird... naturally we are naked and its nothing to be scolded in my opinion..

The over sexualization of the nude body in films, and advertisements tends to bring out a negative view point of the nude human body. 

Therefore the sight of the unclothed body becomes synonymous to sexual intercourse, rather than with beauty and art, anatomy and physiology. 

Leaving many feeling uncomfortable with the image of the naked body.

There are studies that shows it is actually beneficial for kids, especially boys, to see their parents nude on a regular basis and that nudity can be beneficial in many other ways as well, and the aversion to nudity can be detrimental to the well being of people.  Historically nudity has never been so much of an issue until the past century.

I walked around in front of my mother and father naked until I was in my twenties my brothers never saw me with clothes on unless we were going out somewhere.

I never wore clothes around the house. Even up til this day I don't sleep in clothes. I'm very comfortable with the nude body, I love it  and I think it's natural and beautiful the naked human body.

Its not that I have a problem with the human body but as a parent you have to teach your children whats appropriate and walking around naked is not a good idea with all the perverts in the world and again I'm psycho when it comes to my children!!!! I do allow them to be naked in their own room with the door locked. My home is a haven for everyone so no walking around naked. excuse any typos

Once I had my first child I didn't care anymore. All those random people in your stuff...who cares who else sees it?! As for my house, I love walking around my house naked and only stopped when my son turned 5.

I'm not repulsed or uncomfortable with my body or being nude but out of respect for myself and my husband I feel he and my OBgyn are the only people who should be seeing it
