Subject: What are funny things you saw growing up, you never see now? Author: Sean [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:22:49 12/25/25 Thu Author Host/IP: 76.195.201.31 I can name a few myself. One that come to mind is I knew a friends mom that was very motherly and friendly. When I slept over she wore a very sheer white nylon night gown common at time. You could see her nipples and cookie. She always wore it too. I guess she viewed me as a kid and did not care. Another thing I saw as kid was a lake I frequented. While boys under 10 would skinny dip as remote teens and women wore string bikinis in style then and no I suppose. Except they were very ill fitting and you would see edges of nipples all the time. Not like infrequent. They needed constatnt adjustment. Last funny thing I saw was one fun girl I played with would go to bath room with you and openly watch me pee. It was like no big deal to her. I would put it away and she thought nothing of it. What funny things do you remember??? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

It seems that at one time, children’s supposed asexuality gave them freedom to look as well as show. They were allowed to play under their mother’s skirt or under a servant’s skirt.

So effectively topless. Literally never see that now. Presumably because bikinis for little girls are now widely available wheras I would say in the 80s they were much less prevalent.

Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04:55:41 01/01/26 Thu Author Host/IP: 76.195.201.31 In US there were different rules. Boys in remote areas, it was completely fine before puberty to swim naked on remote beaches but on crowded city beaches got swim suit at 5 or 6. For girls I did see them roll down suit like that and also saw them just wear girls or boys underwear bottoms. I saw the roll down more for older women who did not want tan lines. hey would sun more privately topless and not play or leave towel like this but far more common in back yards and sisters did this. Honestly the most common thing I saw was boys just polaying naked in private back yard in summer or after school if warm. They all changed out of school clothes and if you wanted to go bare it was ok in moderation. Some boys went bare all summer and some just occasionally [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Jocasta [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:13:12 01/01/26 Thu Author Host/IP: 51.158.252.220 It's funny to me when I see little girls on the beach without breasts, wearing bikinis, when the top has nothing to hide, while around them boys play in the sand completely naked, without worrying at all that their small penises are visible to girls their age. This shows that girls develop sexually faster than boys and discover gender difference and sexuality earlier than them. The fact that they hide their breasts behind a top even though they don't have any breasts yet shows that they consider this area sexual, and therefore shameful to show. Then it is logical to assume that they will not be indifferent to the same areas of boys and that they also define them as sexual, which probably forms interest and sexual feelings in them when seeing them.

Author: Sean [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:16:36 01/02/26 Fri Author Host/IP: 76.195.201.31 It is interesting to European differences. In this case, I saw girl either wore this girls one piece or wore just underwear bottoms. I think preference was up to her unless on a more crowded beach and one piece suit was not rolled down. I did see older women do this more frequently long time ago too. They would tan in remote beach and did not feel obligated to hide from boys playing naked but might from men in area. Funny thing I would see is female toplessness in backyard or during day when hot. A few moms would sunbath topless, hang laundry in backyard or even do dishes topless not as defience but just more comfortable in house or backyard. Norm was to just look away or ignore it. Another funny thing I would see never today is summer uniform for boys was just shorts or speedos. I was guilty of this as I would just wear wore out jeans cut to shorts and other times just wore out old Y speedo. You would see boys doing this in conveininace marts and on occasion you saw naked boys in front yard or just running errands with moms. Sound rediculous today but I was going home from local beach when young and just walking nude when it rained and neighbor drove me home. SHe did not say a word I was naked.

What have you heard "It’s too hot for clothes today." "You have to do it in gym class, what’s the difference?" "They’re just girls, they don't care." "Oh, hush. Nobody is looking at you." "I am not washing those jean shorts again." [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I have long tried to imagine what sort of dialogue went on in those days which I somehow missed. Some of those lines seem rather insensitive to me, though. I'd like to think that I wouldn't say "Nobody is looking at you," but rather "If anybody is looking at you, they are liking what they see." What sort of things did girls say? And what sort of things did the girls' mommies say? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Jeff [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:41:23 01/08/26 Thu Author Host/IP: 76.195.201.31 I was fifteen, and a typical day at Cape Canaveral in the '70s meant heading to the surf with my friend’s mom and a group of kids. As soon as we parked, the boys, aged seven to nine, started stripping right there by the car. It was just rural Florida custom—swimming nude kept your clothes from getting ruined by salt and sand. My friend’s mom looked at the stiff current and told me I was in charge of watching them. She told me to take my clothes off too, figuring if I was in the same state as them, they wouldn’t feel subconscious or act out against an older "babysitter." I didn't argue; I pulled my shirt over my head and dropped my cut-offs on the seat, leaving my clothes in the car. We hiked over the dunes to find a spot. Once we settled onto the sand, Sarah, the 15-year-old girl with us, rolled the top of her one-piece down to tan. Standing there on the open beach, seeing her topless while I was totally nude gave me a few casual erections. Sarah just gave a little giggle and didn't hide that she noticed, but the younger boys completely ignored it, acting like it was the most natural thing in the world. I headed for the water to cool off, wading out to my waist to act as a human marker. I stood out there for hours, the salt water stinging my eyes as I watched the shore through the humid haze of the Space Coast, where the distant rockets on the pads felt like the only other things in the world. Because I looked just like them, the boys stayed between me and the shore. We finally hiked back, salt-crusted and tired, and piled onto the vinyl seats without towels. The younger boys handled the errands at the station, hopping out nude to grab ice and Cokes while the guy behind the counter didn’t even look up. In the '70s, as long as you didn't cause trouble, people let you be. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Showering after was mandatory and the teacher / coach would always shower with the boys. He loved to joke around, slapping boys butts, rubbing himself against our bodies, grabbing boys dicks ... All just good fun in the 70s but you couldn't do that now. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Tor [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:03:18 01/09/26 Fri Author Host/IP: 76.195.201.31 To save on laundry, we few boys around me often naked in summer were asked to stay naked all summer unless we were actively doing chores. It meant that for three months straight, seeing local boys running around with their penises out was just a mundane fact of the season. Seems crazy today though This created a real double standard on our daily trek to the "Blue Eye," our secret, two-acre spring-fed quarry. Me and Cassie’s younger brother walked the dirt road wearing nothing but old, second-hand Keds to protect our feet from the gravel. Right next to us, Cassie walked along in a heavy t-shirt and cut-offs, sweaty in the heat while we stayed cool. When we reached the massive granite ledge, Cassie would finally strip off her gear and dive in with us. We’d swim out to the dilapidated dock floating in the center to dry off, surrounded by spruce trees, just enjoying the silence. On the way back, neighbors in pickups often offered us a lift. We’d hop into the bed completely naked except for our sneakers, sitting right next to Cassie. The driver wouldn't even blink. It was just seen as fine back then—especially since we were pre-puberty—just tired kids getting a ride home. I’m curious if anyone else here remembers a "laundry rule" like that, or was my island just an outlier? Mom mom would even run errands with me like that! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Nate [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:36:17 02/01/26 Sun Author Host/IP: 76.195.201.31 Hmm I like this topic on quiet snow storm and came up with simple list of funny thiongs I would see long time ago, mostly around outdoors. None are overly done but all together made my youth time period very unique. * Parents followed advice from famous columnists like Ann Landers, who said that letting kids be bare satisfied their curiosity and made them more confident. Moms loved the "bare summer" because it meant they didn't have to wash mountains of salty, sandy, or stained clothes every single day. * If the 6-, 8-, and 15-year-old boys were playing bare, the girls felt totally comfortable doing the same. Being the only clothed person in a "bare pack" would have actually made a girl feel more "exposed" and out of place. * Kids got a pass riding to lake nude. Groups of kids rode their "banana seat" bikes five miles to the lake. They went slow to stay cool and used the breeze to dry off their skin. They draped towel often for the heat. * Girls around age 12 usually wore an oversized T-shirt with nothing underneath for riding bikes or transistion from beach to car often. Girsl often owned one nylon one piece suit she needed for public pools but boy did not. * Many boys went nude at beach by default, but mom would dictate if girl could too. The logic was that if everyone was in the same state, nudity became boring and no one felt self-conscious. * In the beach washroom, the sister or mother would often have to help the younger boys use the urinal before the long ride home. She would casually help the 6- or 8-year-old aim properly to make sure he didn't splash his legs or the floor. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Other boys on street did same thing. But what I remember more is after school and in summer, clothing was mostly optional for kids. I would play in backyard and nearby pool naked all summer and niever be concerned who saw me. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Adam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:29:31 03/20/26 Fri Author Host/IP: 76.195.201.31 One simple thing I used to see was a boy nearby with mom and father in military, away often. We played sometimes. He would be naked a lot. He would play naked if he wanted and even left house with him mom to run errands naked. It was Ok to do that at one time for boys. I dont think anyone ever was bothered. I did same thing but my mom would put shorts back on me if leaving house in car. He rode to my house naked one day and my mom chuckled and I wish I could come back as a boy. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
