Should I let my little brother look at me entirely naked?

Question

I'm 17 (male) , my little brother is 12 and starting puberty. We've always had a really close bond, always got along. Our mom isn't in the picture, she passed away a long time ago, we live with our dad. Well anyway, my brother has a lot of questions, and out school doesn't do any sex ed/puberty program, so he's clueless. He was pretty frank with me, and asked if he could see me naked so he could see what a developed guy would look like. I'm a good example, because we have a good bond, he could ask questions and I could answer, and I've got the big muscles, hairy chest, and all that. I'm comfotable with it, and I really don't mind if he sees me. I'm just glad he isn't looking at porn or something. Nobody wants to see their dad naked, obviously, and he is usually at work anyway, so he isn't exactly a good person to ask. Is letting him see me naked morally wrong? Again, he asked, I don't have a problem with it. I'd just take off my clothes and let him look. Nothing sexual. Is it okay?

I forgot to mention, I was all willing to do it when he asked. I just wanted some input. I figured he needs somebody to help it through it, and as you all know, talking to a parent about it is extreamly awkard.

Answer 1

Sure, why not. After all there is nothing really all that mysterious about the human body except during puberty when every change is one big mystery without some form of proper education. And what better education during puberty than actually seeing another guy naked who has already gone through all of it and survived. So, feel fre to be naked around yoru brother and allow him to further his education in a normal natural way. As you say him seeing you naked is far btter than looking at nude pictures or porn on the internet.

While you are at ti, why not find a good way to spend more time together in a social setting where guyus get naked normally. Like take up swimming or playing a sport together at the local Y or similar. Go, change into the right attire for th eactivity then after, strip off and hit the showers together. That wyas he will see al sorts of developed guys. And after the first couple times, hecan freely ask you questions that may arise which might not by only seeing you.

Answer 2

ok well this is what you do.. and not that is wrong for your little brother to see you naked because you guys are brothers. But what your brother needs is information and education about what is happening to his body right now and the library can be a good help on that one, also some health books with pictures or just talking to his doctor about what is happening to his body. That is totally normal for him to be concern. you are young too and so the best for you guys to do is seek information in the best places.
Good for you that you are there for your brother. OTHER THAN THAT I DONT THINK IS WRONG FOR HIM TO LOOK AT YOU NAKED HELL YOU AFTER ALL BROTHERS.

Answer 3

While you could do that, you might want to defer to a different source of information first. Perhaps you could show him an encylopedia or textbook so he can read things through at his own pace and come to you with specific questions. My sister and I, since we shared a bathroom growing up, have seen each other in the nude plenty of times so I understand that it is nothing sexual. It's good to hear that you and your brother are that comfortable with each other and neither of your seem to be ashamed of the human body.

Answer 4

I wouldnt show youself to him.. I would get a textbook, or even an education website to show him on the internet. NOT PORN... you know what I mean. I just think if he sees you then he will think he's going to be like you, and he might or might not.. But seeing other people (diff sizes and shapes) he will just get a general idea.
