Subject: Nudity Standards Author: Ben [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:31:16 09/02/25 Tue Author Host/IP: 108.236.209.113 curious to get your thoughts on this. Do you feel there was a double standard for male vs female nudity growing up? Did girls get to see penises regularly vs boys getting to see vaginas?

I can't put my finger on anything too specific, but lets face it, you would never call a girl a pervert for looking at a guy naked or partial exposed. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I would play with a brother and sister all the time. We would ride bikes there. Boys would play naked at beach and skinny dip at lakes on rock croppings as norm. It was a long time ago. It was fine for me to just wear briefs too at home in summer. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Many times she would post pictures of her sons on social media for their birthdays, graduations, or other such events, and many of the pics she would post would include nude pics from when they were toddlers. She never posted any such photos of her daughter like that. Seems like a double standard. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I highly doubt she would have done that if I was a girl. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

My mom took pictures of me when little and I was either in church clothes or wearining nothing when under 8 or so. I was in rural Maine in 1970s though so basically still in 50s in many ways in middle of nowhere. There wre not a lot of other kids to play with though and a girl my age became my best friend. She was always in dirty jeans, but her little brother 2 years younger than me was always naked in summer. They were not nudists or anything like that, they just thought it was healthy for boys under 10 or 12. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Some of you may have noticed that not too long ago, boys in The Netherlands and in Brazil submitted Youtube videos of themselves going outside in their underwear. Some of the boys ran, but especially liked the ones in which the boy took a leisurely walk and cheerfully greeted everyone he met. In one of those videos, the boy's mother proudly greets the viewer. I was disappointed when Youtube took those videos down. They must have decided that those videos were pornographic. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It seems odd that Youtube would delete those videos since underwear covers the same amount of the human body as a bathing suit would cover, and there are plenty of vids of boys in speedos on Youtube. .

Ever since 5 or so in backyard and local lake, me and a boy a year older went naked in summer often. We did everythiong together and more like brothers. One of my moms friends had a boy and girls and they played with us often too. Girl was perfectly happy joining us sometimes nude. We did not care either way at that age. She stopped at 8 or 9 though. That girl would see penises all summer and did not giggle about it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Nudity Standards Author: Brian [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:47:48 09/10/25 Wed Author Host/IP: 208.107.143.195 Now that I think about it, there was a time when I spent the night at a friends house when I was ten. He had a younger sister who was seven. We were undressing in his room and she walked in on us. I was completely naked! I Covered my penis and balls with my hands. She just laughed as I yelled at her to leave. It took about ten seconds, but my friend finally pushed her out. I was fighting mad and I told him I wanted to her back. He just looked up at me and said: "Let it Go." I still see my friend every once in a while. That was nearly 30 years ago. I never did get to see his sister naked, but much to my delight she could be rather careless about how she dressed and when I did see her, I often got to see her panties. At that age, I was a real pervert for panties. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Nudity Standards Author: spelvin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:25:55 09/10/25 Wed Author Host/IP: 72.78.201.247 Ever noticed that it is usually the male of the species that is expected to take risks? We're expected to take risks on the battlefield and on the athletic field, but think of the psychological risks which we have to take. If you ask a girl to dance with you, she might say no. If you ask a girl to go out with you, she might say no. If you ask a woman to marry you, she might say no. Your female counterpart, ever the lovely wallflower, is spared these risks. We are also customarily expected to take financial risks. If you invest in a business, you might make a loss. True, a woman giving birth to a child is taking a risk, but overall, both nature and nurture conspire to mandate risky ventures onto us. I'm not saying that women don't have to perform unpleasant tasks. I realize that housework isn't very exciting, but I'm not talking about unpleasantries in general, I'm talking specifically about risks. It wasn't a mere flip of a coin that made boys but not girls go skinny-dipping. It wasn't a mere flip of a coin that made boys but not girls receive bare-bottom paddlings in school. It wasn't a mere flip of the coin that made boys to undergo physical exams while their sisters watched but not vice-versa. Those are all manifestations of the same instinct. What happens when boys never get to show themselves to giggling and whispering girls? They grow into nervous wrecks like me. That's why you see guys like me on this forum, trying to identify with those of you who lived a more corporeally revealing childhood. As you all know, the present generation has it even worse. I quake to think of what they're going to grow into. They could at least go outside the house with no shirt on. They could at least wear short-shorts. They could at least wear speedos. They could at least change clothes in the locker room without performing a towel dance. They will surely end up worse than WE did! But no! There is a predator hiding behind every bush, and they need to be protected at all times! This may sound like a joke, but I mean it: I say that nudity for boys is not an app, not an accessory, and not icing on the cake. I say that nudity for boys is an essential element in their upbringing, right along with athletics and right along with dating. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Nudity Standards Author: ANON [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:19:48 09/10/25 Wed Author Host/IP: 76.195.201.31 School itself is a programming experience. Public schools in US are modeled after Prussian army system. The school system instill absorbing endless boredom, and a false carrot that straight As gets rewards financially. Those that took limited risks as LLC instead of advanced degrees are often far better rewarded when successful. Gym and fitness were much the same but watered down now. It was expected you can do pullups run etc even if not true of kids today. You swam nude and in some parts of rust belt did calthenics nude too. The follow up is lies that women are sugar and spice and everything nice, and all trouble starts with men. Men now ofdten judge women by their action and can ignore the endless verbal pleasantries, as a femal manerism. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It was a remote beach were OK to do that I guess. I always went with a few kids girls and boys and alwayswent nude. Other boy in group was younger and did too. I had to wwatch him swim always. I did not get embarrassed much as maybe 1/3rd of boys did it too. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Nudity Standards Author: Ryan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:00:17 09/18/25 Thu Author Host/IP: 76.195.201.31 You always remember your unique experiences or favorite people the best. I used to play with one girl that had three brothers that were much younger than her and she would help take care of them of course. She was very used to having boys around all the time in late 70s. Back then boys often were shirtless in summer and just wore shorts and dirty sneakers. I remember playing with her and she wwould go shirtless too often with the boys. We were 8 or 9 and her brothers were 6 and under. I remember we would come home dirty from being outside together and her mom would put us in tub and wash our clothes. After bath her mom would give us clean underwear to put on till my clothes dried and always say get dressed whenever you want. It was funny as her brothers were sometimes in briefs or naked too. After a few times doing this I preferred to stay naked a few hours after our bath. What caught me off guard is a few times they liked to go camping in a place with cabins or tents. When there the nudity was even more laxed. Boys would walk to showers naked at the campground. We would use beach on lake naked too. Girl would shower with use with her dad always. You would see topless teens back then too but it was still mostly boys doing it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I saw both I used to swim naked at girls houses, but her and her brother did too. Except boys stayed naked all day until we were done with pool, and girl would cover up when not swimming. I did not care though as liked being naked. At beach it wwas a double standard as girl wore swim suit and boys were naked all day. Other times if together me and other boy would be naked all weekend if we had a sleep over. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
