I spent my teen years in India, and for a European it is like being teleported to another planet. India is an extremely diverse country in terms of religion, language and culture, although at least the Hindu population has a strong sense of national belonging. Of course my experience is limited to the area where I lived (north) but I think that in relation to the topic of the forum the Indian approach is more or less the same everywhere. Indians do not like the display of nudity, which is commonly accepted in Europe - pornography exists of course, but that is a different matter. Female modesty is considered important, and the traditional Indian dress - the saree - certainly does not leave many inches of skin uncovered. For males, however, it is different. It is not uncommon for boys to walk around naked at home, or for moms to enter swimming pool locker rooms without any problem, or for female teachers to escort school medical examinations. And these are just a few examples. It seems natural to everyone that it should be this way, and in the end you get used to it. Only an erect penis is a serious disrespect, which can also lead to a complaint to the police.

I enjoyed hearing about northern India and somewhat as I imagined.

My father did rather well but they grew up poor so never spent much money. I had probably two boxes of clothes to wear in total aside from winter jackets.

My mom kept me nude at home in summer and her best friend had daughter in just bottoms often. We always played together and it seemed normal.
