  • It IS absolutely normal for families that don't have sexual hang ups and are sex positive to walk around their own home naked. We are born without clothes. Society makes us wear clothes. Your home, your rules. Outside of the house, societies rules.
    I had sex positive parents who never had a problem with me and my mom walking around the house naked. Even my female friends and female classmates that came over the house after classes, or for the day, or during weekend sleepovers would be naked too because it was our house. However, my Dad was the only male in the house that was allowed to see us naked cause all the girls were OK with that cause he wasn't a creep trying to hang out with us. He was a very respectful cool guy that left us alone and went about his business, and the girls liked him very much. So if he got a peek here and there, nobody cared. And I never had any boys over the house, only girls. Lots & lots & lots of girls naked all the time. We had lots of FUN!!!
    I carried this tradition with me when I went away to college too. I lived in a sorority house with 35 other girls and we were naked all the time there too!

    • i agree!

    • So true as to the way it is with us.

  • I actually want to learn more about this. I dont want to be a nudest but it sounds so interesting.

    I wonder about the lifestyle and beliefs.

    What happens if someone dates someone who is not a nudest? Does the house put on clothes?

    What happens if there is a infant in the home? Does that matter?

    Does it do anything spiritually?

    How is the hygiene?

    Honestly nothing but respect. I just have so many questions.

    • You should try it.

    • if i date someone whos not a nudist he can wear clothes and i won't, if there's an infant thats ok. spiritually, it connects you more with nature. for hygene we make sure to clean everything properly

    • We feel nothing wrong in seeing naked body. With infants they treat it as natural not sexual. Hygene is incredibly high. Depends in what way you mean it. PM me

  • Some families are like that. Clothes are mainly for warmth and privacy. Your family considers the family a unit that has privacy as a family, not individually. Depends on the culture of your region, and the upbringing of you parents. Actually, that is a nice thing in many ways.

  • Not at all... it is only our bodies that we see. Every family is different. In mine we wore cloths 95% of the time but occasionally someone would exit the shower with no clothing on or walk out to the dryer to get some clothing while naked... no big deal

  • I'd say not. Your parents were nudists, which is fine. It's good to be comfortable with your natural body and not hypersexualize it.

  • Still trolling I see. Your parents got you accustomed to it because they were pedophiles.

  • I don't believe there is anything wrong or abnormal with this and I would assume that your family are naturalists which is normal.

    • yes we still go to nude beaches

  • being naked is a good way to sin by having sex with your child or sibling which is called incest and is illegal and will send U to hell ! thanks

  • It’s uncommon but hey you do you.

  • Its normal. This is how I grew up. Now I'm a nudist and my family will be as well.

  • I'm finding that this becoming more common or people aren't afraid go admit that they are naturists/nudists anymore. Totally normal, but yet not as common as someone mentioned earlier, but that is slowly changing.

    • i think its healthy to not be ashamed of our bodies

    • @emmablack2442 I agree with you

  • In the US its not common, in some other countries its the norm

    • Maybe some backwards African tribes but no first world country has this happening unless you live in a nudist colony.

    • I heard it was fairly common practice in Sweden actually.

  • Yeah, very creepy. I would be half naked around a sexual partner because I don't wear clothes at home, but panties is usually a must unless I am sleeping, wouldn't wanna be putting this squeaky clean WAP all over the place and getting it dirty. But anyway, around family? yeah definitely overboard and unnecessary, cover yourselves up.

  • No it's not normal and you're just fishing for attention from desperate lonely guys that are on here. I bet you all she'll be spamming you if you send her your creep messages.

  • Totally normal. We didn’t either. Hugs were awkward, but at the end of the day bonding is just bonding.

  • Generally no.
    Nudity in the home is not that common.
    To grow up in a nudist household is great since it takes away a lot of the common beliefs that being naked is bad, and it is not.

    • i agree. we shouldn't be ashamed of our bodies

    • True and I agree. Nudity has a lot of false assumptions like it is sex based, only hot looking people are nude, it is for swingers, etc. All false. Things happen, but nude or not, they happen. I am a nudist myself.

  • It really is liberating, being nude.
    But obviously needs to be with people you are comfortable with.
    Follow me if you want to talk about it

    • it is very liberating :)

  • It's not normal as most people don't do that, but i don't really know enough about nudists to comment on if it's good or bad.

    I imagine it must be awkward when your a teenage boy popping boners at random, Can't really hide that.

    • it is awkward but its natural. we just avoid looking if that happens

    • Ah that's fair i don't think i could do it, but then again i live in the uk and well walking around naked is even going to kill you from the cold or send your gas bill through the roof

  • My family didn't have a problem with nudity.

  • Not normal but also not a issue

  • Sadly it's not common, but should be in my opinion. It's common for a nudist family, which yours is.

  • Definitely not rare at my house to see someone naked

    • thanks for your opinion. i dont know why nudity always has to be seen as sexual

    • Who all do you live with? Both of you

    • my brother, sister mom and dad

  • Isn't that illegal to expose yourself to minors? I'm pretty sure it is and for good reason.

  • It's not common in the U. S. But out of curiosity, did you grow up with a brother or brothers, or just sisters?

    • a brother and sister

    • The reason I asked that has to do with what happens with boys when they reach puberty and start getting involuntary erections. Was that something that was accepted in your nude family or was your brother expected to cover up or go to his room? Because it's not something a 13, 14 year old boy can control.

    • that did happen often. we just accepted it, and tried not to look. we never made a big deal of it
