Do other people's naked children bother you? Why?

hahaha.. its funny you say that . Because some of my friend grew up and were raised in very "naked" households. Where the nakedness is just a part of life and the whole family would see each other naked and nobody ever cared !

To me , this is totally strange as i was raised very differently ! I never saw my parents naked and as a kid, i was always dressed !

But it just depends on the family. Some are more comfortable with it than others.

And yes, i would find it odd to see a family of naked people... but to them, its nothing out of the ordinary! lol

Being a nudist myself, this wouldn't phase me a bit. I've even been in situations where this has taken place and I know that it is not even uncommon in nudist families. One Labor Day at the club I go to it was a cool rainy day. Nearly all of the adults were clothed and hanging out under a pavilion or inside the clubhouse. About six of the kids were running around in the rain or still in the lake completely clothes free. The kids obviously didn't have an issue with their nudity, so why would I?

I've even encountered it in non-nudist situations but usually the children are swimming or playing in a sprinkler and the kids are usually toddlers or younger. For example, at a class reunion picnic a few years ago it was a hot day and no one anticipated the kids would want to get wet. Someone filled up the kiddie pool. Their parents undressed them and let them play in the pool. No one really thought anything of it.

I suspect you want opinions from non-Naturists here, but I will add my support for your question and for those other answers from Naturists. There is nothing wrong with humans and especially children, in their natural state. If you are uncomfortable with it then it can only be social conditioning that has caused this. At present there is a paranoia surrounding children which assumes that every adult is a paedophile until proven otherwise! I liken this to the witch hunts of the 15th & 16th centuries.

Yes, there are a tiny percentage of people (not all men) who present a risk to children, but they are a very small minority, so small that it in no way justifies the present level of mistrust, which is breaking down the trust between adults and children, even between parents and children. This is very harmful in itself as it leaves children more exposed to danger, not less.

There have been cases of children suffering injury that could have been prevented by adults present who didn't do anything because they feared the repercussions of any action that involved contact with a child! I have also heard of a case where a father of two children, having applied sun cream to his own children, went on to apply some to the shoulders and arms of a friend they were playing with only to be accused of 'molesting' the child. The police were called, but thankfully they took the view that not applying the sun cream would have been neglect. Social services have not been so enlightened and continue to harass the family. I have also heard of a case where a child ran out from her school gates straight into the path of a vehicle and was killed. A woman who witnessed this later admitted that she could have prevented the child from running out into the road, but was afraid to touch the child for fear of suspicion about her motives.

We really need to rethink the emphasis we give to this. Innocent children enjoying the freedom of clothes-free play really shouldn't present a problem to any adult - except that tiny minority.

It also leads to many parents insisting that their children are dressed at all times - even when it is just the family present. This sends out the message that there is something so shameful about their body that it has to be hidden away at all times. They then see nudity in advertising and the media - always 'perfect' models, of course, so we all grow up feeling that we don't 'measure up' and either demand plastic surgery or end up with an eating disorder or simply hate our own body.

Sorry Rick - I've ranted too much, so I'll stop.

Haa haa that is really odd. Maybe she thought it was a cute photo and just snapped some pictures. I know photographers will see something and try to capture life, and she probably thought it would make a great picture for her collection. However that is someone elses child, so it is a little off base if you ask me. I wonder if she didnt have the woman sign a release without your knowledge, like maybe before you got to the beach. Otherwise she cant use the photos for anything other than personal use. Well I dont know maybe she can. People take pictures of celebs all the time.

You answere a question of mine about nudity and I stated that in the bible god condemns familial nudity and you asked where? I came here to tell you it is in leviticus. I said so in anot there but idk if you'd've seen it.

As to this question. It would encourage me to visit more. It is ridiculously difficult to find images of naked children online especially girls. People act like child porn is only a few clocks away but i can barely find anything and tbo I don't want porn of them anyway I want tasteful nonsexual images of naked girls 9-13 (really anything 6-14 is okay but over 14 skip everything until mid 20's unless she has a ridiculously huge set of **** in that case i wanna see them) I'm not a pedosexual just enjoy looking and hugging and kissing and a butt squeeze here and there but otherwize zero desire for them. Sorry to ramble but you started me down the path of explanation and i walked down it.

Interesting question.

I'm not sure really. Whenever I go to the beach and see a naked child running around, I just have to look away - I don't like seeing that lol. If I was at a friends house who had their kid/s running around nude, I guess I wouldn't be bothered really or put off coming back unless maybe they started trying to jump on me or something, like someone else said in their answer. But even if that happened, I wouldn't stop coming over, I'd just let my friend know that it made me a little uncomfortable.

- Yes, I'm comfortable with that situation.

- No, it doesn't discourage me from visiting.

- I'm not alarmed. Kids prefer to be naked (if given a choice), so it's the natural way for them to be.

If there only little then I don't see the harm in it? I know lots of people who just let their kids run around in all their naked glory. I doubt the parents walk around naked, but if they do so what? It would be good to be that comfortable with your body I think lol. The human body is just a part of life!

I would be happy if everyone was running around naked....It's a beautiful feeling to be naked if you get used to it.

Not in the least. My dad let me run about naked. We had a pool in the back yard ad naked was just what we did outside . I have no problem..
