Oh, completely! What they seem to forget, though, is that it’s just as awkward for us moms!

As the mother of four teenagers – one who has a horrible habit of playing x-box in just a towel – I’ve seen my fair share of nakedness. It’s funny how differently my sons and daughters act about the whole thing!

My oldest son is twenty, and I came home last week to find him getting changed with his bedroom door wide open. He nearly jumped out of his skin when I told him to put some pants on! He was clearly mortified, and avoided eye-contact for the rest of the day.

I’ve got a fourteen-year-old son as well, and he goes bright red if I so much as see him with his shirt off.

My husband died when the kids were young, and I’ve always wondered if the boys are so awkward about being caught naked just because I’m their mom. One of my daughters will quite often ask me to adjust her bra straps for her, and the other one is always wandering into my room in her underwear to borrow my hairdryer.

I think it’s a gender thing, really. Girls tend to be more comfortable being semi-clothed around their mother, whereas boys seem to think they’ve been violated if they’re caught without their pants. It’s funny, really – they’d save themselves (and me!) a lot of trauma if they’d just make sure they had their clothes on or the bedroom door shut!

I had scoliosis surgery when i was 15. It was normal for me to go to the doctor and strip (normally to my underwear but sometimes completely) with my mother and father there. I think its what the child is raised with as normal behavior. I was raised in the country we skinny dipped and showered at school after practice in open showers together. We were comfortable with being nude together it wasn't my favorite thing to do but comfortable.
I was asked on numerous occasions during my surgery stay at the Hospital if I would mind if students of my doctors could come in and take part in my doctors visit. Some of these students were not that much older than i was. I had a Nurse that was twenty two or three.

sorry not good at posting.. but as is was saying it was normal i have been seen my many people nude all of which was normal doctors students in medical school and nurses and techs in the hospital. I would suggest that your boys become more comfortable with nudity because when we realize that if it weren't for doctors with experience being able to teach in the real world and show students example with out the shame and shyness getting in the way and causing poor decisions to be made. I still have visits to the doctor's office at Duke Medical and i have been used to explain the difference in the surgery today. I am who I am I am not a nudist but i am not ashamed nor embarrassed. I remember boys being taken in to the coat closet stripped and checked for certain medical reasons by the school nurse and one witness often the Principal its just not that big of a deal.

I would not be embarrassed, if my mum seen me naked. I think it would be more embarrassing for her.

Not all are. I know young guys who let their moms see them naked. And it would depend on circumstances, too. Being surprised is different than a planned event, like in a doctor's office.
