Nudists are not freaks, silly child answering above me. You may want to check out the Naturist Society's web site...I'm sorry I forget the URL. They would be able to help you. Just remember to take your sunscreen. Burns in sensitive places are horrible.\nAha! www.naturistsociety.com  Have a good vacation.

Short answer: No\n\nLong answer:\nWhen you are nude with other people in a social environment where sex is not the main focus you soon "forget" that they are in fact all naked.  You are still aware of that fact but, the shock value disappears very quickly.\n\nYou then find yourself interacting with them in the same way that you would had you been clothed.  You see people that you find attractive and others that you don't.  What would be rude would be to gawk, staring at someones crotch all the time would probably make them feel uneasy.  People who gawk and make others feel uneasy would probably be asked to leave.\n\nNow, the following may not be true at all nudist places but at the places my wife and I frequent people are very open about things.  They tend to chat very quickly, make newcomers feel at home and generally just have a good time.  There, when you get to know people better and because of the mutual respect people have they find it easier to talk about their bodies, you can compliment someone because they have a good figure, nice legs, beautifully pierced n*pples and not have to fear that they will take it in a negative way.  The checking out really becomes a conversation between two people rather than someone trying to catch a peek without being noticed.\n\nBut, in general, everybody knows that people are checking one another out.  It's a normal part of being human and when done in moderation it's perfectly fine and hey, let's face it it's fun.\n\nI do want to make it clear that when reading the above some people may think that you now have to look like a model to fit in but, this is not true at all.  When you are there you find that everyone has something that is worth checking out.  Most importantly, you realise that you have features that people want to check out, not because of anything sexual, but because   they genuinely find it beautiful at a human level.  Someone may have nice legs but no bust, one guy may be very well hung but have a belly or have really nice hands but a sensitive skin so they aren't very tanned.  An important side-effect of this is that you soon find yourself "checking out" personalities.  You begin to see people as not just bodies but, because they physically don't "hide" anything, their inner beauty becomes more prominent.  You find yourself "checking out" people you wouldn't normally, since they aren't magazine pretty, but because they take pride in the bodies they have rather that hide away because they fear that they will not live up to other peoples expectations.

If you are desiring greater freedoms, then accept greater responsibilities. While living under someone else's roof, I suggest you abide by their rules. All of the teens on the internet cannot change your parents household policy. I hope they stick to their guns.

You're viewing this through western vision.  In Japanese culture, some situations we would consider lewd and even illegal are part of everyday life.  \n\nCommunal baths for instance.  In our society, bathing with children is outrageous and often cause for alarm.  But in Japanese society it is commonplace for families to bathe together, there is nothing sexual about it.\n\nAlso, the human body is not as demonized in Japan as it is in the US.  A naked body in American culture is lewd even pornographic.  But in Japan, nudity is not a big deal.  \n\nNot that I'm saying it's okay to throw what you would consider pornographic in front of your children.  It's simply not acceptable and can even be damaging in our culture.  But ours is not the ONLY culture in the world.

You won't find it changes at all when you're older.  I'm 26 and sick of it also...but it's a little different. At least you are aware of it and don't want to get trapped.  The reason they are like this is because of TELEVISION and the MEDIA.  You can't go to a "teen" movie now without some kind of sex seen with nudity.  It makes me sick, but that is the reason this is happening, and unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it.  What you can do is not support movies that promote these kind of things.

Depends on how developed she is for 13.  It is a little young to be sexually active, though it was fairly normal behavior for young girls even 150 years ago so I wouldn't think much of it.  \n\nJust play along BUT keep things safe.  Neither one of you is old enough for a real sexual relationship, so just fool around until then.  You sound mature enough to know where the boundaries are.\n\nFunny how many people on here want to pretend they were never 13 and horny as heck all the time.

No, why would I feel uncomfortable.  Actually, I'm always naked in the house except for when there is company.  Its just more comforatble.  At night, if I have to go outside for something, I rarely dress.\n\nPeople are trained by their parents to be ashamed of their naked bodies and that is just plain WRONG!

I wouldn't worry. You have lots of time. For the moment why don't you make sure that you are involved in healthy activities that include boys and girls so you can learn how to behave around the opposite sex. \n13 is pretty young to worry about this as you have a whole life ahead of you.

you cant be required. The school cannot MAKE you strip down and shower after gym class. Who ever told you otherwise is lying. Talk to your parents, talk to your principal, there is absolutely no reason for any child to bath naked around other children. \n\nYou shouldnt be ashamed of your body at any age of your life. What is normal for one 14 year old, isnt for another. Development varies according to genetics and many other factors. Never feel ashamed of yourself. \n\nAlso realize that no one has a right to see you, or make you get naked, not even your school.

if you're worried about what's 'allowed', you have deeper issues than wanting to wear womens' underwear\n\nnobody cares what you do, so do what makes you happy

Well, I like to speel naked, but only sometimes and it's rare. Then its 100%. In case of roommate, that depends on her/him/it. Some are cool with it, some are offended, so talk with him/her and determine the situation. As for healthyness, I have no idea. I guess that it does not inflict anything much.

Whatever you do your teens will see porn everywhere. If not at home, at a friend´s one. If not, you always have public access computers. It´s inevitable. I think you should try to talk to them, and not treat them as children. They mus understand that what they would find there is not pleasant or erotic, not even love, is perversion. Good luck!!!

I am skyclad every chance I get.  To be nude is to be one's own Godself.  Putting on clothes is putting on a false front.  Religions are all wrong.

Why tell everyone.Your sexual preference is no one's business,but yours.Family I can understand,but everyone will eventually fgure it out.If that is you,then who cares what they think. They will accept you or they won't.

Nothing weird about it at all.  We were born that way after all.  Sure clothes have their part in today's society but if you're comfortable being naked and not trying to offend anyone then go for it.  In most parts of the world public nudity has been legislated against with small locations where it is acceptable.  Just pick your locations carefully and enjoy!
