What are your opinions of brother/sister nudity? How open are you with your sibling? Is your experience sexual or non-sexual? Is it healthy or not?

I have a sister two years older than me. Growing up we say each other naked all the time and it was no big deal. There was nothing sexual about it. We didn't go peaking in on each other. We would dress or undress before each other, or be in the bathroom when the other was in the shower. To us it was normal. Seeing each other in the nude was no different than seeing each other fully dressed. The only time it really made a difference was when my sister went through puberty. Again, nothing sexual. I just observed the changes in her body, and we talked about it openly. I guess you could say I went through it with her, including sharing her anxieties. When I went through puberty, it was the same. She was there for me. Emotionally, it was an awesome experience that brought us even closer together. We were not just brother and sister, but best friends. We shared secrets with each other which we would tell no one else. The first time sister had her heart broken, I was the one she turned to. She sat in the bathtub crying, and I sat there listening to her and encouraging her that she would find a guy more deserving of her. When my first dating experience turned into a disaster, she was there to help me pick up the pieces. So you can see the closeness we had. So our open attitude towards nudity proved pretty healthy for us. It brought us closer and helped form an emotional support bond. How about with you?

  • My ex and her sister had no problems with it. I did find it weird at first, but then I thought w. e their sisters. I mean it's no different than be going into a gym after a game and showering near my brothers or cousins where everyone can see everything.

    As long as it isn't sexual, I personally think it's more physiological. In the sense that you feel comfortable with someone if you do something for so long.

    For most people seeing their bro or sis naked would be freaky. But if it started off when you were young, then you're used too it and it doesn't seem weird at all.

    In my case it's never happened, but I wouldn't think it's weird since family is family. There is no difference if I had a disabled sister, who I'd have to give sponge baths and clean her diaper. It's all about the mind of non sexual thoughts and rather being caring and nurturing as a person or family member.

    • For us it did start off when we were young. She was 4 and I was 2, and we took baths together. This continued until I was six and figured I was big enough bath on my own. But sis would still be there and talk to me while I was in the tub. Then I would get out, she would clean the tub out, fill it with water, get undressed and get in, and I would stick around and talk to her while she was getting clean. We were very comfortable. But I know our experience is the exception. Hence the question

    • I think your case is an exception most likely, because parents or society or friends would make it odd to not bath alone. I'm guessing in this case your family or friends probably don't know about it?

  • My younger sister knew I stayed nude in my room. Probably she got encouragement from my life-style as she used to dress very short shirt, with no bra. It was dome when no other family member was at home. On two, three occasions she walked out of her room totally nude pretending as if it was unintentional. After my wedding and leaving parents home, she has recently revealed to my wife (like me she is also home nudist) that she (my sis) liked to be a part of our life-style. I would welcome her.

  • I'm always naked in my house, my sisters don't care and the same thing, we will be getting ready in the same room and talking to each other. I think because we are girls it's ok.
    If I had a brother it would probably be the same. I really see being nude in a non sexual way totally possible and it just shows trust.

    • I was thinking more of brother/sister, but I do know some girls who have trouble even letting their sisters see them naked. That I really can't figure.

  • Very sensitive but personally I don't find any problem staying nude with brother and sister so long as sexual intimacy is away.

    • Thanks for MHG.

  • Open with nudity yea but sexual experiences No/Sorta. I was maybe like 6/7 with my brother being 4/5 when we were taking a shower and were joking about whether his penis (I don't remember how we called our genitals back then) would fit in my vagina and so we tried that (It was just little kids playing around we weren't sexually aware) and we were doing that for maybe like 2-3 minutes till my older 11/12 year old brother came (I think he was sexually aware) and told us some things about not doing that again and we listened, it was a few years later when I got the awareness to understand why.

  • I don't ever want to see my sister (or anyone else in my family, for that matter) nude. Never ever ever. But if it works and it's healthy for you guys then it's totally cool by me.

  • I've got an older brother and a young sister. We've always been very open regarding nudity and sex.

  • When my sister and I were naked, her breasts were just starting to develop, she had no pubic hair on her vagina and her but was the best butt I ever saw. She giggled when she saw my penis get an erection for the first time. We talked about the changes in our bodies while we were in the bathtub together. We washed each other’s hair and scrubbed our “hard to reach” areas. We each washed our own genitals and butts and she washed her breasts. After our bath, we dried off and gave each other back and butt massages. After we got dressed together, we were never together again in the nude. I don’t think anything is wrong with just being naked together with your siblings whether they’re male or female.

  • I believe nudity from the very beginning, I mean even before puberty, is fine because siblings of opposite sex are not excited to see each others nude body. It's my personal experience.

  • Open about nudity and sex to my sisters. Always have been. I have a twin sis and two older sisters. We are fine with being naked. We talk about our sexual partners. We would all experiment as kids, not anymore. We don't shy away from talking about it though

  • I see absolutely nothing wrong with siblings seeing each other nude.

    • I think it’s a great thing

  • I want to be this close with my sister

  • Sometimes me and my sister do and get in the shower and... Just kidding.. Another pervs question...
