Father and Son Nude Bonding
I was never naked with my father nor did I ever see him naked when he was alive. I feel my dad and I were never that close because of that simple fact. I think it was because he himself never really had a father figure in his life that he could talk to. He was adopted when he was 10 years old by his aunt and uncle who were super religious. He never learned how to be a father. We never talked about anything personal. Most of what I learned about manhood came from his military buddies on camping trips which my father never attended. Was wondering how many men out there had better naked times with their fathers who are nudists now but had similar upbringings or more liberal fathers and if you have sons, what are you doing differently from your own fathers?
I grew up in a conservative family as well. Only saw my Dad nude twice and both were by accident. I realized as I got older we are all alike, just different models of the same vehicle. There is no reason to feel ashamed of one's body. The last 30 years I have gone to nude beaches, campgrounds, Korean Spas and always request undraped nude massages. I also exchange nude massages with local guys, and am a photographer for guys that need new nude photos for their profile, to give to someone, or just to capture a moment in time. Timer on my camera has also allowed me to take some interesting selfies.
My father brought me to the YMCA when they had nude swimming and exercising. I was about 10, and it was wonderful. All sizes and shapes, and seeing the variety of penis' was educational, to say the least. The great thing was no shame, and acceptance. Also, open communication for all of those questions that a young lad has, but is not sure how to go about asking. The drive home was also a wonderful bonding time. Glad I had those and an open father. My Dad was also uncut, and I am cut, so that was a great way to have that conversation, too.
I grew up in a family with both parents, 3 sisters and 1 bathroom. Dad and I often had to share the bathroom due to time constraints. On one occasion when I was home on army leave, we were all going out to a restaurant for dinner. Dad was shaving and I was in the shower. As I stepped out of the shower to dry off, I was unaware that I had popped a boner. Dad pointed, had a laugh, which I took as "approval" and dropped a wet wash cloth over it. No drama. So natural.
Hey man, thank you so much for creating this group and for your post! I so much know what you mean. Grew up very prudish and conservative too and was not able to talk about anything manly or sexual. I think that would have helped me so much talking with my dad, nude and open.
Dad was a Vietnam vet (early years). He and my mother kinda went full hippy after he got out of the Army and they had started going nude at home and with close friends of thiers at some point. Some of my earliest memories from the mid 70's (4-5ish) are of being nude with him - skinny dipping in the lake we lived on, playing in the back yard, cookouts on the back deck, bathing, and just the general summertime day-to-day. Dad's close friend (with his family), and also my uncle (dads brother) would be there as well from time to time - all of us nude together. Summers were like that up the point where he and my mother divorced when I was 9. I kept going nude when/wherever I could as a kid and teen, and full time at home once I moved out and got my own place at 18 with my girlfriend/future wife. Once we became parents, I didn't do anything different really, and I/we went nude with, and raised our two (daughter and son) just the same. They're both in their early 20's now and out on their own. It remains to be seen if they will continue that tradition someday when they become parents themselves. Time will tell.
I wish the YMCA still had nude swimming. that would be a more relaxed and nice environment. As a boy I would have appreciated the openness (I was always curious to see others bodies and liked the idea of it being natural to be naked together).
I totally agree with you. My parents, my dad in particular, were very prudish. I only ever saw him naked once and that was totally by accident for about 1 second! He never gave hugs or attended any school activities. I always feel a sense of jealousy when I hear of guys who grew up in a naked enviroment and when I have seen naked families at beaches and nudist resorts, the dads are always so involved. They are much more tactile and show more love.

I did shower with my dad when I was a kid. But I would have liked being nude with my nude uncles and nude male cousins also. It would have been a great bonding experience to be nude at home with my nude uncles and cousins.
