To think that your children will never see you naked, accidentally or otherwise, is highly unrealistic. The problem is societal norms and in this socisety, we oversexualize the human bocy, period.

I do agree that (being a part of this society, how can I not) a man should not be bathing his female children beyond a certain age. However, what about cases where he is a single father. It is not always feasible to have auntie come over and show her how to wash, etc., etc.

I think it's easier to say what you will and will not do when you don';t hace kids.

Also, someone said "if they walk in on us then that's one thing." That's what I mean. No one said "At what age do you not allow your kids to watch you and your man/woman have sex." Seeing the body and having sex are two entirely different things.

I think the age is generally school age. I also think the kids, if they are developing properly, will begin to exhibit signs of uncomfortabiltiy at an age. I know my son is very private about his body and this happened around the age of 5 or 6, when he started school and it wasn't "okay" to let the other kids see his parts. Now, I can't see his parts either, nor does he care to see mine.

I think that in most families, it is abnormal to see daddy's penis swinging around the house, but most kids see mommy's breasts for the most part. I didn't say it was okay to get a full on crotch shot, but c'mon. Again, the breasts are for nursing your children, but in this society, tell that to the man with his mouth hanging open when a woman is trying to nurse her infant in public.

Sorry if this is too graphic but this is part of the reason we have people engaging in irresponsible sexual behavior in this country.
