Q&A for How to Practice Nudity in Your Family

Don't touch him. He is not a nudist, but rather a pedophile. Tell your parents, and if they don't intervene, then call the police.

Of course! But some religious people may feel like it's wrong, so those individuals might not want to practice it.

Maybe try when you're home alone. Also, if you get up early, or stay up late, you can walk around nude in your room or around the house in rooms your parents can't see from their bedroom. Don't forget to always have a robe with you just in case someone comes to see what you're doing!

Just sit them down and explain to them why you don't want them to spread word that you're nudists and hopefully they'll understand.

Yes. Introduce it little by little, like saying, "do you think nudists are cool, would you be their friend?". Turn this into a friendly discussion, gauging their responses and helping clear up any myths. Then reveal that it is something you like to practice.

You could just tell them and explain what nudism/naturism is, then explain that you wish to practice it.

Then respect your parents' wishes and wear clothes. See if they would be okay with you going to nudist places and events once you turn the age of majority. If they're not okay with this, take up nudism after you move out. Once you're an adult in your own home, you can do what you want, but if you're living with other people, you have to respect their wishes about these things. If you want, you can go nude a little bit when no one is home (with curtains drawn, so people outside don't see you either).

This is not cause for alarm. This could simply mean they're uncomfortable with it, or they feel it's unnecessary.

Wear a tampon or a menstrual cup. It's not necessary to be nude all the time as a nudist, so it you want to wear clothes during your period, that's OK.

You can't force your children to be nude, and especially from this age, they have the right to decide what they want to do with their own bodies.

Tell your mother, and if she doesn't intervene, then call the police. Don't let your father touch you there. Nudism is not an excuse for sexual abuse.

Start late at night or early in the morning when everyone is asleep, or when you're home alone. Or just ask for some privacy, ask everyone in your home to please knock before entering your room.

It would depend on a few factors, like how long the stepparent had known the child, whether or not the child's biological parent knew about the shower and was okay with it, etc. Assuming nothing inappropriate is happening, then yes, this could be okay.

Say, "One minute, I'm changing!", put clothes on and open the door.

Explain to them that nudity isn't automatically sinful or immoral, but that it can only be sinful if it's used indecently or for an immoral purpose. If your parents are very strict or fundamentalist Christians, they will probably disagree and point out X verse(s) in the Bible. Explain that this is how you honestly see it and you're not trying to bend God's word to your end. If you and your parents are unable to come to common ground on this issue, you will have to respect their views and their wishes as long as you live with them.

He'll find his own way to deal with his sex drive. If not, sit him down and tell him when he starts to feel it kick in, go to the bathroom or his room to take care of it. But remind him that nudity is not related to sex. And just a warning, it may be an awkward conversation.

There are two considerations that come to the front: your daughter's feelings; and her mother's feelings. Between ten and thirteen, bodily changes alarm kids, especially girls, and they become very self-conscious. Your daughter might also be extremely uncomfortable seeing you naked. This may last until past the teen years. Her mother may also have misgivings about the whole thing and cause family and legal trouble in family court. A conversation with her would be advised, but overall, I would not recommend practicing nudism when your daughter is around.

Tell your mother, and if she doesn't intervene, call the police. Your father should not be touching you there, so don't let him.

Lock your door or put a note on the outside of your door requesting privacy.

Unless Mormonism explicitly prohibits nudity, then you can be both a Mormon and a nudist.

Don't. They should make their own choices about what to wear or not to wear. Feel free to talk to them about it and share your own feelings about nudism, but don't pressure them.

Just leave the room for some privacy until it goes away.

Most nudist venues require you leave your camera at home. It is rude and disrespectful to take pictures of nudists unless they have explicitly agreed to it beforehand.

Then let him keep his clothes on. Do not ever try to force anyone into nudism, especially a child.

Try to show them that nudist venues and events do not condone open sexual activity, and that the people are generally honest, kind people who keep their eyes out for each other's safety and behaviour. You may find the odd nudist venue or event that does not follow naturist philosophy to the T, and the people there can be more dodgy. Simply don't go to those places.

Yes, definitely tell him before. And tell your family that you'll be having a non-nudist over.

There are several choices here. First of all, you could ask the teacher if there are any concerns. If there are, then you could use that opportunity to educate the teacher about nudism. You could also choose to ignore the subject unless it's mentioned by the teacher or another school authority. There is plenty of case law supporting the legality of family nudism and organized social nudism outside the home at resorts, nudist clubs, and beaches.

Being nude is not okay everywhere, but in your own home, you can, as long as the curtains are shut. And you don't think its fine because of preference. Its normal to think both ways.

Yes, as long as you stay inside your home, you'll be fine. It's illegal to be nude outdoors or in public places with the exception of nude beaches and nudist resorts. But it's not illegal inside your own home as long as you stay inside your home.

Then don't be naked. Its all preference. Some people love it, others don't.
