I had a normal childhood. Occasionally, I'd have fights with my siblings, or misbehave and get grounded, but I think that generally, we were a loving normal family.
I have been dating my boyfriend for about three months now, and he came from a very close-knit and affectionate family. He and his siblings were raised to be comfortable walking around the house without clothing, and they hug and cuddle a lot more than I am used to. His parents are very wonderful people, but whenever I visit for dinner or family functions, I feel uncomfortable.
They don't try to pressure me into taking my clothes off, but they will all sit around the table with no shirt or pants. I was just starting to get used to it when, last night, we were sitting on the couch watching a movie, and his father started giving me a back rub.
I know it's just a friendly back rub, but I feel weird being that physical with an older naked man. Can I express my own personal boundaries without offending them?
