and not sensationalized?

live in a remote part of africa where there is no electricity, clean water, or clothes. not only will they see naked people all the time, they will also learn to be culturally sensitive, to be environmentally friendly, and to live off the land.

some hot springs are places where people are comfortable just hanging out naked around each other, you should go check it out first though because sometimes there are some creepy guys around. or taking your kid to a public pool or gym and showering in the shower room, just not making a big deal about it. you have to do it from a young age though because once they hit puberty it's all akwardness and self-conciousness, if you've instilled in them the belief that the human body is a natural thing and everybody is different though they'll most likely have an easier time accepting themselves than they would otherwise.

It's going to be very hard. I went to Brasil and it was the first time I ever went topless on a beach and was so embarrassed. But when it came to the locals (I'm so use to the US mentality that men will sworm you if your topless at a beach) they paid me and my friend no mind. It's such a normal part of there culture. In the US it's seen as taboo, there it was so natural. There was nothing "wrong" or "fresh" about it.
I'm not sure I can answer your question other than to expose them to different cultures (either by travel or by reading) and hope that they will be very open minded when they grow up.

difficult
maybe by reassuring them that the human body is natural and not offensive
not making a big deal of nudity
maybe look at photo.net , nudes
very very beautiful photos there
suitable for anyone to look at I think, I wish I had something like that when I was 5 or so
I thinkits WAY healthier than the porn they will find when they turn 9 or so

When nudity is on the tv don't hurry to cover their eyes so they can't see it. My mom always used to walk around in nothing but her bra and panties while getting ready for work everymorning. My brothers and myself have no shyness now when it comes to seeing somebody nude. Its natural to us. With my girls I am very comfortable around them if they walk in and I happen to be changing clothes and if they ask what something is I tell them...no big deal. They are 2 1/2, 4 1/2, and 61/2 and it is obvious they are already very comfortable in their own bodies.

out kids are 5, 6, and 10. The two younger are girls. My husband and I just don't try and hide. We keep like a shirt on but dress and undress in front of them. The 10 yr old dresses in his room but the younger two dress in the living room. It don't bother anyone and because it's not made a big deal out of it's not a big deal to them. Their father and I also sleep naked so when they need us in the night their used to us not having any clothes on. Hope this helps

Unless you are a nudist, you will have to show them by example.
Don't freak out if you see art that had a nude figure in it. Take them to art galleries, and discuss the human form as it is. Heck even having some tasteful art in the home that has nude figures will help.

Just don't make a big deal out of being naked around them! Not that we're nudists but my kids are constantly going into the bathroom when someone is in the tub or shower and think nothing of it. It's when you make it an issue that is becomes one!

Unless you live in a nudist colony completely cut off from the outside world, I'm not sure that you can. Advertising will always be out there working against you.

Just call body parts what they are and not some mysterious names people have made up. Also, kids learn from watching you. If you, yourself, act as if there is nothing wrong with the human body, then your kids will pick up on it and feel the same.
