You see that IS a very weird and perverted way of seeing it.
I DONT 'proactively' intend to be seen naked, but if I am changing and the bedroom door is open it wouldnt even cross my mind that I was naked. Same if I change on the terrace to go in the pool.
I dont even think about it, one way or the other.

And yet you're here on CP not thinking about it, talking about the best age to let them see you naked like it's part of a plan.
Anyway... I'm on the camp that finds it odd. Not really looking to argue. I have work to do. Enjoy your day.

What?
You really need to re-read what I wrote.
I asked at what age you stop letting your kids see you naked. Really, talk about comprehension failure!

We never have. Our son is sixteen now. It may or may not be the same if we had a daughter.
I never walk around rampant though.

For me it's not a matter of not letting them see me naked so much as:
Why would I want them to see me naked?
Why would I want to see them naked?
In what circumstances would this occur? Particularly with a 13 year old.

If I am changing on the terrace to go in the pool for example?
Its not a thin I think about, infact I just dont think about it at all.

Hold on a second. Munchies_Matt is really Fatboy!? Where the hell have I been? That's too funny.

I've suspected that for months now.
The global warming posts should have given it away.
Also, see my sig

You didnt notice?
Hmm, pretty sure my posting habits on GW would have given it away.

Want me to edit my sig so you get proper credit?
Something like "munchies_matt in a previous life as fat_boy" so both old timers and the current crop can identify

I don't think there is an age as the problem sorts itself out as kids get older. There comes a point where they don't want to see you naked or visa versa.
Also the circumstance in which this happens also decreases as they get older. Young kids will barge in anywhere, anytime of the day or night and you've got to care for them etc. When they get a bit older they can look after themselves.
When I'm naked first thing in the norning now, I'd be shocked to see any of my kids awake and out of bed.
However, as a general rule. My house, my rules and I'll do as I please. If they don't like it, don't look or move out

This tends to be a generational thing. My parent's generation were quite conservative about this (although my father was an exception). I was a teenager in the sixties when things became far more liberal. Walking around the house naked and taking a bath with the kids was seen as very normal to many of my generation. In fact prior to concerns about UV radiation nude bathing became very popular for whole families. I always felt that one need not be prudish and nudity is pretty normal. Since then there have been a couple more generations and I think a certain conservatism has grown. This is in part due to the horrific revelations of inappropriate behavior with children which have occurred in recent years. As a result a lot of negative innuendo is directed toward people who may be seen to be a bit unconventional in this area.

Fortunately in continental europe we havent been dirtied with that fear. The UK has though. Sad. I used to work with a guy who saw some of his sons friends walking to school, he stopped and offered them a lift. A day later the police came knocking...
This is a very sick society that sees every interaction between youngster and adult in such a perverted way.
In France you can talk to kids on the beach, look at what they have got in their buckets from the rock pool, etc If you are in a park and one falls off a climbing frame you can go and comfort it. (of course I am in these situations with my then young daughter)
In the UK thought I am very cautions though. It is sad.

As an old fart I attempt not to inflict horrible images on my grand kids. I did catch my son looking at me warily when I was playing with my 9yo granddaughter in the pool recently. I don't blame him, with so many stories about inappropriate behavior towards children I'm glad he is wary.
You will find that your children will probably make that decision for you, mine went through a prudish period in their teenage years.

Yes, my daughter has become body conscious as she has gone through puberty, I guess its to be expected.

I'm not a parent, but you will agree that I still am a large child, yes?
A naked body has never been censored as far as I know; no need to close your eyes during breast-feeding, and no need to look away when seeing a cow being milked.

I'm not a nudist, but I'm not prudish either.
I don't cover up in front of my kids if I need to change clothes or when I get out of bed. I don't want my kids to become prudish puritans that think of our bodies as something to be ashamed of.
I suspect the age will be chosen by my kids. Whenever they tell me "eww, cover up will ya" I suspect I will have to think about it.
