There are some really good responses, but surely there are more of you out there with thoughts on this subject.

 

Not at all, it is therapy to come here. Sex is a totally fascinating subject, even the sick stuff....but sick is in the eye of the persons values. I am more toward the sicko side of things

 

I've never gotten in the tub with her, not thought about when she can "be on her own" yet.

 

We have 4 kids - g9y, b8y, b4y, g3y. I shower with all but the b8y often. Our g9y will help b4y and g3y in the shower. b8y and b4y shower together too. We have 1 bathroom for all 6 of us. We also all walk around the house nude from time to time. Like walking downstairs to get undies or a shirt or upstairs after a shower. Hubby doesn't shower usually with anybody but me. He's a big guy and doesn't like others in there often. We have had sex talks with our older kids. I know kids their ages that have been catch sexting, so they do know info. We also have talked about know one should be touching their private areas but them.

We haven't ever been to a nudiest resort, but think our kids would handle it fine.

Ok two things... first of all why am I not suprised the author of the above post is from west virginia? It is your responsibilty as parents to raise your children to fit in to society. While some adults find it perfectly natural to be naked 24-7 this is most certainly a minority of the population, so if I felt this way I would still attempt to raise my children to fit into what society deems "normal" as this will make their teen and early adult years easier.
Secondly, I think we would all feel more comfortable if this had been posted under "general discussion" and not sexuality. Unless you are a secret pedo and looking for buddies.

 

I live in Finland, we go as a family to sauna, nude.
When our children start to ask questions we will answer them, and that is definitly not a reason why we should stop it.
I think that sex, in all his ways has nothing to do with being nude, or bathing or taking a suana together.
But probably this is to liberal for a lot of people.

 

You must not be a girl because if you were then you would realize that men are always horny. ALWAYS.

 

I always left their mother take care of bathing the kids and didnt get involved. Always seemed like it was her job. But I am a lazy bastard.

 

Not sure

 

i think its all about personal choice and communication between parent/children, bathing together at a young age is a great form of bonding, and for working parents its that little extra time to spend with their kids. i would stop before puberty, but, if it goes on after that age, it could be considered better than kids their ages who play sport or go to swimming pools and bath in front of strangers, without making a fuss about nudity

and if you are hesitant about nudity with your kids at a young age and dont have open lines of communication with them, they might not feel comfortable in later years about discussing sex etc with you and might get wrong information when they do need it by seeking the wrong people for said information

 

A "man" is not going to find a 6 year old girl so irresistable that he couldnt bathe one without sexually abusing her. A guy that does something like this or thinks this way clearly has some serious issues to deal with.

Anyways, I would say that when it becomes uncomfortable and they start becoming more curious, or they want privacy, or when they are capable of doing it themselves, that is probably the right time to reconsider the bathing situation.

 

Ok! I'm too.
