I was raised that there is no shame in being nude or partially clothed around my family while we were at home. My parents walked around partially clothed (in their underwear) or nude when we were home. They never shamed my brother or me for being partially clothed or nude either. We put clothes on when people came over or when we went to school but it was not a huge deal for us to be nude. I honestly don't see what the big deal is about wearing clothes. I believe it is more comfortable to be nude and I don't think seeing any of my family nude was sexual. I was more afraid of strangers seeing me naked than my own family.

My boyfriend (at the time, now he's my husband) was my brother's best friend when he would come over my parents wouldn't cover themselves. I would be partially clothed most of the time. He eventually got comfortable and he would hang out in his underwear too. He thought it was cool that we were that open around each other. He became more comfortable being nude or partially clothed around our family.

But, when he would go home, he would just wear his underwear around his house his mother would shame him and tell him to put clothes on. They are fundamentalist types of people, I can respect that but I was not raised that way. When we got married, his mother dropped over unexpectedly and I came to the door in a sports bra and underwear. She told me that I shouldn't answer the door in my underwear and I laughed. She told my husband I wasn't respectful and he just let her talk. Little did she know that we were nude or partially clothed a majority of the time together at home and he told her that if she was going to come over to let us know and we would put clothes on.
