I know my question is quite unusual, but i dont know if i think differently from the others or its jus realy normal. Cos i have a 17 year old friend who is a boy and he said that he and his dad take a shower together after swimming and gym practice. He says he doesn't mind being seen naked even though he is already 17. I just really find it akward that a parent will see the developments in your body. Cos im a 17 too and I really didnt want anyone in my family to see me naked since i was 11. Am i the only one who thinks it akward? or is it really normal for fathers to see their teenage boys completely undressed?

if they are at the gym it would be a normal situation. Everyone is different ... I thought it was weird that my husband kisses his mom on the lips. Some ppl think that is normal. I think as long as he's 17, showering with his dad in a gym ... and not 12 showering with his dad at home ... it sounds pretty legit.

It's an individual and family thing. It depends on the environment they grew up in and how they were taught to feel about being seen naked. I think it's silly that girls get hysterical and overly dramatic if their fathers see them naked accidentally. Teenagers are space-conscious, normally, so being seen naked can be regarded as a violation of their space and can be upsetting--if it happens without their permission. If they say it's OK, it's no big deal. I do think it's a shame when parents give birth to them but then never really get to see what beautiful/handsome creatures they turn into. Excessive modesty is an American hang-up, not much practiced in the rest of the world.

Personally,I see nothing wrong with it.I raised my son a nudist,and we were always naked.On weekends that I was off,i did not wear clothes around the house,neither did my son.After school,he already began removing his clothes in the car,and after school he would be nude and played in the nude with his friends who were textiles.He slept in the nude as did I..and on school holidays he never wore clothes around the house or outside,and if we had visitors,we would still remain naked.He was raised a nudist,and I have been a nudist since four,so we had no problem with seeing each other naked or being naked together.He preferred being naked whenever he could,and had no issue if others saw him naked,even when his friends came for sleep overse,he would not even be phased in the morning with his morning manifestatins and as he Became a teen..and had spontanious manifestations(erections),he wasn't phased neither would I be.Its normal for boys.IIf they're comfortable,it's a good thing.

No, you're wrong. For any relatives should be quite normal to see their offspring naked. Many even move naked at home freely. Body shouldn't be cause of shame independently from age.
It's fair and praiseworthy for a dad and his son taking a shower together! If any son hasn't the same fear and embarassement (you've), many sexual doubts or diseases (we easily read on these pages) will be evaded in advance.

I dont mind being naked in front of my mother. There is nothing happening there, it's just as if we were wearing clothes. I think it's normal, personally. But there are limitations, at least for me. I dont like to walk around the house in my birthday suit unless I have to. On vacations and stuff when there was only one shower and we both needed to use it badly (Sand on us, etc.) One of us would hop in and the other use the sink until the first was done.

It just depends on how you were raised. It sounds weird but sometimes me and my mom take a shower together because that the only time we see each other and all we do is shower and take. I don't care whether she sees me or not... we have the same thing... she's seen me naked before . But as far as my dad,i don't feel comfortable around him to do that. But i think my brother is. It just depends on how comfortable you are with your family members. It's normal to have different types of relationships with your family members.

Families are all different. Don't think less of your friend because this is going on in his home. Some families practice more privacy then others do. It is what you are exposed to and it sounds like this family is very active together and that is what this boy has been brought up to know. He would think it unusual that your parent has not seen you naked, it is all in what we are used to. Now if they sleep together at his age, that is something completely different :-)

It's perfecy natural but some people have a hangup about nudity. I take a shower at the YMCA with alot of naked guys and don't think anything of it.

That depends. When you saw "take a shower together", are you talking about the wide open locker room showers that are designed to accomodate groups of people? If so, no, that is not weird. If you are talking about both of them hopping into a single shower at the same time, yes, that is definitely VERY odd!
