Would you let your 25 year-old son see you naked?

My children saw me naked in our shared bathroom a lot of times when they were....well....children. They tended to run in and out whenever I was taking a bath ? Now they're adults, and I don't see any reason why they should see me naked, so no, not to my taste. It's different with women, I recently shared a fitting-room with my daughter-in-law.

No! It's child abuse - whatever age they are!

NO! My 40 yr old son is not seeing me in the nude. Poor lad it could traumatise him.
But the thread is about us mothers showing themselves naked to their sons not the other way around.
I have seen my son naked many times but probably not since he was about nine. I guess he is a bit bigger and hairier. Probably balder as well. .

No never, not in front of anyone whatever the sex.

I know of a home with four sons, whose stepmother (she had been with their dad for years) used to walk around naked. They all laughed behind her back at how droopy her boobs were, and found it quite disgusting.
They were all quite surprised to find out that not all breasts were as saggy as hers.

I think there comes a time when your child of t.he opposite sex shouldn't see you naked. However I have no problem with my daughters or granddaughters seeing me naked and vice versa.

Good God no! no! no! There came a time back in the dim and distant past when they became embarrassed with their own nudity certainly before late childhood, when I remember the younger one bursting into our bathroom whilst my husband shaving in his underpants, and he had the nerve to say "shouldn't you put some clothes on, no one wants to see you in your underpants" damn cheek! Privacy prevailed after about 8 or so if I remember rightly.
When I take my young granddaughter swimming she bags one of the cublicles, she at 7 demands complete privacy whilst I am left to get on with it in the communal changing area

I did that deliberately Glad you noticed * MissAdventure*

Another thing IN the altogether?

I think I wouldn't let anyone other than DH see me naked . But if I got a job as an artist's model, that would be another thing altogether.

Noooooooooo! I don't have a son but I certainly wouldn't walk around naked in front of him if I did. My daughters have never seen me naked.

My house is too cold to walk around naked.

Noooooooo!

Ugh ! New bathroom mirror ! Even with steam , no glasses and half awake it was enough to scare the horses ..... so definitely a big no from me

It would embarrass my DS and me. Why would I want to do that?

To me it depends on the age of the children involved. I never minded being naked in the bath with my small children, nieces etc. nor do I mind changing with other women and girls at the swimming baths, but I would feel uncomfortable if my 40 year old daughter in law walked into our bedroom while I was naked, or I into hers. I wouldn't want to see my son in his nothingness now either.

Last time I took a class of twelve year old girls to the public bath, it didn't bother me that they saw me naked while showering, but with all the hoo-ha these days about inappropriate behaviour between adults and children, I kept strict custody of my eyes, in the sense the mother superior of my childhood would have approved of.

I'm with Nannylovesshopping I don't have sons but wouldn't even want to scare my enemies with the sight of me in the nude.
I envy people who are less prudish than I but I can't change now.

I don't walk around naked and never have. Don't feel the need, as we all know what we've got under our clothes in varying combinations. I do love my body but only when i'm on my own or with other half. Never with son, who is 40 or Daughter 33, or even grandson who is 5. They would all think I had completely lost it and run for the hills!! as others have already said. lol! What point is she trying to prove??

Can't decide who would be most traumatised ,me or my 30 years plus 'boys'?

My son isn't 25 but no, I wouldn't. His embarrassment at any age above about 8 would be far greater than mine!

Nooooo!

Luckily I don’t have a son so there’s no need to answer this question.

Definitely NOT - but my daughters never see me naked either. I am not big on walking around naked even when I am home alone...............It's not a pretty sight!

I think my son is embarrassed enough just having me as is mother; perish the thought that he should ever have to look at the baggy, wrinkled, unclothed me. He would be completely traumatised! What a weird thing to do!

To explain how it works for us in Europe. We did go around naked when the children were young but stopped when they reached their teens. Now that they are grown up, we don´t, as a rule, prace around in the altogether. Though our bathroom has no lock, when the door is closed, you assume someone is in there. You shout and ask if it´s OK to come in. If you come across a member of the family walking across the hallway in the nude or just covered in a towel, you avert your eyes. That´s all there´s to it. We don´t make a big thing of being seen in the nude but don´t go out of our way to flaunt it.
