At what age
 

... do you think children should stop seeing their parents naked (ie. in the shower). I know, here come the pedophiles (just keep it in your pants boys!).

I'm hoping for at least a couple of serious answers (tough task around here I know, but I have faith in my fellow OOTers, but I'm not sure why).

Well?

If you have to ask, it's already too late.

4. I have no real reasoning, it just sounds like a reasonable age.

As soon as they're able to bathe themselves. Then, when they're like 14, it's ok for them to be around their same sex parent naked when they're in a locker room type situation.

Ya, I agree with that, basically, anytime you feel they are completely ignorant, or completely not ignorant of the situation.

This may be my gayest post ever but I googled it and here is a parents message board with some responses to your questions.

My personal answer is 5-6 is fine still. Parents Message Board

Kids should never see their parents naked.

Bathing suits were created for a reason.

Any time before the child could give a [censored].

Re: At what age
 

I don't understand why a parent would ever be naked around their child. This does not make sense to me.

Perhaps he was trying to be amusing and meant that since you can verbalize this question, you should no longer be seeing your parents naked. If this is the case, it's a fairly meh joke; and if that isn't what he meant, then it's just a stupid joke.

You're not thinking very hard. If it's just you and your two year old in the house, and you both need/want a bath/shower, you can't just take your shower leaving the kid unattended and out of earshot. You bring him in and take one together.

Under what circumstance does a parent need to be naked in front of a child? (excl. childbirth)

I really see nothing wrong with it. All the examples above that are in favor of it are good circumstances. However, if you are in third grade and still doing it, then there might be a problem.

Re: At what age
 

It comes full circle, initially at age 4 or 5 no more bare assed showers together, then when you are old and senile it is OK for the children to begin seeing you nude again and bathing you several times a day.

Re: At what age
 

Hmm, I don't remember how old I was, but I can remember as a young child often that my mom would leave me to sit and watch tv in the room while she took a bath....But she would leave the door open so that she could hear and see if i ran by or anything. I can remember seeing her naked if she had just gotten out or something if I walked by. I was young enough that I didn't think twice about it and I don't think it was out of line on any part.
(Those who respond to my reply in an immature way are probably the people who just won't ever understand human nature....For what reason WOULDNT a young child be okay to see their parents naked?)

Re: At what age
 

I don't understand why people think it is bad for a child to see their parents naked at any age. If you cannot seperate nudity when bathing from sex you have some sort of problem.

Yes. This seems the most reasonable answer to me. Can anyone thoughtfully explain why the simple sight of a nude human being is so threatening?

While I agree in theory, the thought of casually seeing my mother naked makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't think it's wrong exactly, I'd just prefer not to and I can't really explain why. (Someone will probably suggest that it's related to one's subliminal desire to have sex with one's mother and perhaps it is.)

I don't care about seeing my dad naked.

were we supposed to stop?

Because seeing your mommy and daddy naked is what creates serial killers and degenerate gamblers that run poker forums.

Re: At what age
 

The correct answer is 2-3 years old. I remeber things from when I was 4 years old. I also remember at age 5 (kindergarten) talking on the bus to school about rumors of kids' Moms that had been seen naked.
