Who said this? Or thought it was said? Thats the stupidest shit I've ever heard.
Children & The Naked Body.
- Thread starter Pudding Time
- Start date
No one said it, Mr. Liam thinks I was implying it by my Mother of the Year thread.

Totally agree. In fact, if parents would take more time explaining the human body to their older children (preteens), they might have a better understanding of how it works and what it needs to stay healthy and how they should take care of it.
We're soooo freaking hung up on nudity and sex. Most young children (I'd venture to guess under the age of 4) have no idea what sex is even if they saw it (prob think two people were fighting).
No, they probably don't know it at 4, but it doesn't take long for them to figure it out .. since the TV throws sex in their face everyday.
It's just not a good habit to get into is what people are saying.
Wrong. Someone else told me this in a rep. I wont say who it is because it was in a rep, and if they want it to be known, they'll say it themselves out in the open.
Ok.. I understand that people here don't like the idea of children seeing nudity. But what I want to know is where this beliefs of yours comes from? Some say it's because of society. OK, why does your society frown upon this?
Sir, you're still missing the point... For me at least
Ok. How about you explain it then?
The whole reason for my mother of the year thread wasn't the nudity. It was more about the fact that instead of these women interacting with their children, they'd rather pose nude for pictures.
Taking a nude pic only takes 1 minute.
You're coming up with conclusions that aren't provable..
I pretty much agree with this. Children seeing people in sexual acts though, I think it depends on their development. When kids start going through puberty it's natural that they are going to be more interested in sex. I think it's most important that the parents are open and honest with them so they are comfortable talking to parents about sex and thus get a good and sensible attitude toward it.
It all depends on context.
But, overall: No, its not harmful for a child to see a naked body. They see their's quite often.
America loves to hide nakedness a lot. Its strange.

I think it's mainly because America uses sex to sell things so much, and parents don't like it.
OMG A NIPPLE NOT THE THING WE SUCKED ON AS INFANTS OH NO OH NO OH NO THE MORAL FIBER OF AMERICA IS COLLAPSINGWait, wait...are we talking about the same country that went absolutely ballistic because Janet Jackson flashed a tit with the nipple covered over during the Superbowl?
we don't live in Europe though ..
What I'm saying is, is that kids aren't being corrupted by nudeness alone. its all about context.
