You are absolutely correct. I already have wrote here about how parents raise girls and boys differently when it comes to modesty due to cultural expectations. I will add to your comments that a lot of the times we moms see our boys in a very innocent way. Even when there over 10 years old we see them as babies. Not that it doesn't happen with girl moms, but it's just much more common with boy moms. And so we moms don't care much to insert modesty on our boys as naked boys is nothing for us. And this plays a big part in different nudity standards between boys and girls, as mothers are usually much more involved with a child growing up compared to fathers.

I enjoyed beach and pool and was around same small group of girls seeing me naked so looked forward to it.

Perhaps you are right about double standard being more prominent in locker rooms. As a teen, moms still went in boys room to attend younger boys. I would change right beside them sometimes and walk to shower naked and back, not being modest about it. Some teen girtsl were there with younger brothers too. Some girls enjoyed it and others were shy and just doing it quick to get out.

One girl from perhaps russia or nearby changed with her dad sometimes. I left her alone but chatted with her in gym otherwise about normal kid stuff and we were friends.

So, there I was, a young lad in the '70s, and let me tell you, it was a time of double standards that would make youblush. Skinny dipping and streaking weren't just rumors; they were practically national pastimes! My mom had a friend who was a nudist, and that was about as mainstream as avocado toast is today. It was a hot topic, but not something you'd see on every weekend.

My mom's close friend was a nudist, but my mom? Nah, she was more of a "clothes are optional, but I'll stick with the usual" kind of galbut both thought it was super important for me to be comfortable in my birthday suit growing up as aboy. I mean, who doesn't want to run around naked like a little wild child, So, I did it. I went from being a shy little thing to not at all/

My friend's mom was a nudist too! So, whenever I'd go over to their place, Both mom and daughter were as bare ass the day they were born, and I, being the innocent little boy I was, didn't think twice about it.

But even in this world of nudity, I couldn't escape the double standards. I'd see girl dressed up to go for a bike ride or play in the park, and I'd be naked sometimes. I just accepted it.

I heard term double standard but did not care about it or know what it meant.

Some girls did play without tshirets like boys did often. It was not a concern. I would also took a bath with a girl my age at a young age till she no longer wanted to do that.

The double standard was more from 9 to 13 or so when boys went naked and girls had fully stopped. Beach seemed to be an exception for no reason I understood.

My double standard was at a back yard pool, and a local gym.

Bad yard pool was often 3 boys and 2 girls. I started going nude at this pool in private large field at 10, when other kids were 9, 7, 8, and 5. All boys were treated same and if using pool we did not get dressed again in back yard until leaving usually. The girls saw it all and were not shy about it. They would give you a tug if they wanted to play a game to get you to move.

But the MOST exposed and MOST double standard was a local boy's room in a gym I used till I left that home around 17. It wasn't every single day but, once I was walking to shower nude and a girl my age was in boys room changing her brother. I was shy when I saw this but got over it. It became a regular occurrence of her changing her brother. But what was more of a double standard is one of the female gym instructors always went in boys room to what younger boys change before and after class. She was maybe 22 I was 14 and younger boys were 10 and under in swim class. It was common for boys to do swimming and calisthenics nude back then, so you got over shyness or dropped out. A few boys got picked up naked too and no one said a word as uncool to complain about that during peak hippie times.

My double standard was less subtle. I was intentionally kept naked on beaches till 12. My mom did not want me shy. Sometimes I was only naked kid and other times many. Id get shorts pulled off as soon as at beach for entire day. I recall playing with same girls dressed all time but seemed ok for times.

I was treated to same.

When we went to beach as a summer event, I was just given a towel adn flip flops and my two sisters had one piece suits. I wore towel from car to beach and was bare all day. I loved it though.
