Children & The Naked Body.

[All Else Failed]

I don't have the time nor care to look for evidence at this time. Instead I'll offer some common sense. Consider this:

You know what sex is right?...two or more people having hot sex. You've either done it, seen it or heard about it...perhaps even fantasized about it. Keep that picture in your mind for a bit. Now consider a child in the same room looking on at that. Now appreciating as fact that kids absorb as much as they can in those formative years. Consider the curiosity and mental images stored. Kids don't remember you (may) say. Well think again. Most do for the remainder of their lives.

With that in mind and knowing or having an idea of what goes on when two (or more) people are engaging in hot torrid sex and now tell me that that is the sort of picture they ought to be seeing at an early age and that it can't affect them mentally in a damaging way.

Well, seeing as how a really young kid probably wouldn't know what the fuck was going on anyways, he probably will either forget it or just ask what was going on. Perhaps you would like your child to not see wrestling? Two sweaty men....half naked...heaving, grinding...smooth skin, primal force...mmmm makes your mouth water, doesn't it?

tsk tsk AEF. You really wouldn't mind your child seeing you having sex...heaven forbid...or for that matter seeing anyone else having sex right?

And no, I highly doubt they would forget. Kids remember far more than you think they do.

Please tell me you are arguing just for arguing sake.

nah prolly wouldn't mind .. hell might as well watch them have sex too once they're of age .. since it's no big deal!

both my parents used to take showers, then get ready in teh bathroom naked before dressing. A lot of times they'd leave the door open. I have seen both parents naked, probably as old as 12 and it didn't really bother me. After puberty I guess it changed, because nakedness had more of a sexual connotation for me, so I would try and avoid it, which wasn't hard, because it usually was only in their bathroom.

Just to clarify, their bathroom was the master bath, it wasn't just a tiny bathroom...it was where we pretty much all would go to do our hair in the mornings, so we'd often run in and out of there a lot.

but come on...kids feelings aside...AEF, if your kid was in the room watching you have sex...would you seriously be able to get it up? lol

Ron, for the sake of curiosity, would you ask your cute girlfriend her opinion about this thread topic and then post her answer?

A child Seeing a naked body won't mentally harm it. A Child seeing a couple having sexual intercourse will.

How?.

 

[Mase]

They wouldn't understand it. And may think of it strangely.

So how does that harm them? They could experience the same thing watching President Bush's State of the Union speach.

If they saw me having sex, I would just explain to them what it was. No big deal. The problem is people trying to hide it and tuck it away as some grotesque sort of thing that never can be ever mentioned!


I'm not arguing for arguments sake. I'm just trying to phathom why a lot of you think this is such a big deal.

Don't be foolish. You're completely misunderstanding what I am saying.

What, do you think I would want my child watching us? Fuck no, thatr would kill the mood. I'm talking about accidental situations where kids come across sexual situations.

What question do you want me to ask her?

 

[COOL_BREEZE2]

What question do you want me to ask her?

Not seeing Breath so she could post her questions to you when she comes on.
You could ask her these for me.

1. How would she feel finding out that your or her child is watching you having sex? Is that ok with her.

2. How would she feel finding out that said child is watching another couple having sex? Is that ok with her.

3. Does she think the child would remember?

4. Does she think it may have an effect on the child in the future: short-mid-long.

5. Does she think the child may be curious to want to imitate what she has seen with other children or adults?

That's all I can think of right now.

Since I'm just getting caught up on this thread... let me put me views on these questions...

1. How would you feel finding out that your child is watching you having sex?

It's not something I would want or encourage the child to do... BUT, if my child walked in on my wife and I having sex, I sure as hell wouldn't turn it into a big deal or yell at them. Making a huge deal about it will harm the child more than seeing the act. The child will grow up thinking there is something wrong with a husband and wife having intimate relations... and there isn't. This is where good parenting comes in... you need to be able to talk to your child about sex if the subject comes up. They need to know that it's ok for a husband and wife to have sex in private. They need to know that it's a natural act, an act that created him/her to begin with. Actually having your child walk in on you while having sex is the perfect opening to talk about sex with your child if you already haven't done so. Why you guys think sex is such a bad thing I will never get. And yes, I'm only referring to sex with a married couple in this sense.

2. How would you feel finding out that said child is watching another couple having sex?

I would be furious. This is a family matter (sex education) and how we want our child learning about sex.

3. Do you think the child would remember?

Sure they would, this is why you need to talk about sex and not hide it in the closet like some diseased monster.

4. Do you think it may have an effect on the child in the future: short-mid-long.

All depends on how you as the parent handle the situation.

5. Do you think the child may be curious to want to imitate what she has seen with other children or adults?

Children are always curious... BUT YOU NEED TO EDUCATE THEM....

My child will know that it's not ok to shit in the middle of their school cafateria... Why? Because we would teach them that it isn't appropriate to do so.

My child will know that it's not ok to smack another child... Why? Because we would teach them that it isn't appropriate to do so.

My child will know that it's not ok to take his pants off and run around the playground... Why? Because we would teach them that it isn't appropriate to do so.

And my child will know that it's not ok to have sex with little suzie down the street... Why? Because we would teach them that it isn't appropriate to do so.

But if we never talked about any of the above things, then maybe he will have sex with little suzie down the street... since we were to afraid to say anything to him.
