weird is not the word it is inappropriate at your ages. If cps found out there would be trouble. modesty never hurt anybody.

And you're right. there is nothing wrong with this. I grew up in a nudist family and it was the best. We never had fights like I see other siblings have. My little bro was naked half the time about the house and so was i.

Every weeknight we'd finish our homework, take a shower and not bother to put any clothes back on and we'd get to watch a couple hours of tv. Mom and dad were naked and so was Me and my brother. When my brother got his first hard on when he was 13 I saw the whole thing. And he watched over the years as my boobs grew. I even let him touch them (he was curious., so what).



My parents didn't know it but I showed him how to masturbate (I was 15 and was doing it for years and he knew I was doing it and so did mom and dad) So i just grabbed him one day (when mom an dad weren't around) and told him: "Hey you wanna try something really cool ???. And I showed him. Hehehe..



Our family was tight. we were a team. and we used to go to a family nudist resort where they had tennis, a pool, and outdoor games all the time. and everyone was naked. So we didn't think anything of it.



Today My brother lives a couple hundred miiles away but he has kids and they're always running around naked.



I think it's a good thing actually if families are usually naked around each other.

Many will stagger back is disgusted suprise and revulsion at this! Others will say so what!



I know a number of girl/boy siblings who grow up totally at ease with each others nudity and of the rest of their family. Nothing is forced upon them, it is simply what they feel comfortable with. Nor is there any suggestion of sexual feelings/attraction/activity.



In an ideal world it's always preferable to be in separate rooms but that might not be possible and so sharing a room is the only option.



It has been proven time and again that more sexual frustrations and hangups in future relationships are as a direct result of the attitude to nudity etc in the family arena when growing up.



You are absolutely fine as you are and for those less enlightened...simply ignore them!

god, Im 27 and still prance about in the buff in front of my mum...Im a girl though so Im not sure if that counts.



look, its the environment youve been brought up in - relaxed attitudes to nakedness really can only be a good thing - teaches you not to be ashamed of what you have in every day situations like visiting doctors for intimate medical reasons.



however, I would be slightly concerned you share a room - getting caught on naked a few times whilst in the bath or getting changed is going to happen whether your comfortable or not....



it is not illegal in the UK to share rooms, but generally from a social services point of view 10 yrs old is when kids of opposite sex should be given their own rooms. You may want to check with your local council though, some laws have been passed more locally....

You're both getting about that age where you need to begin giving one another a little more respect and privacy. This is where you'll be setting lifetime standards and expectation for what you're going to do in your family.



Just because some think this is Okay doesn't make it so. Doing it does set the stage for future behavior however and as you each enlarge your circle of close relationships it's likely to offend some of the better principled people, driving them away.



It's your future here, where do you want to go with it?



My experience has been that respect seldom tears families apart.

If it doesn't bother you and it doesn't bother him, who cares. My brother and I have been seen each other nude forever. Hey, he's my brother. When we both started to sexually mature, , he asked to see my vagina, and I showed him. But he was just curious. Of course, guys have their parts hanging out, so I have seen them many times, especially because he sleeps nude and doesn't bother to dress until after he showers.



I was a little self-conscious when I developed breasts, especially because mine were so much smaller than my younger sister's chest. But I got over that.



I only saw him with an erection one time. I had a friend over swimming, and she wore a loose bathing suit. She made it a point to show off, not to mention rubbing against him when swimming in the pool. When we came in and stripped off our bathing suits (just my brother and I, my friend changed in a separate room) he had an erection. I didn't say anything. (They went on to study in his room, and...)



I visited him recently in college a short while ago, and stayed in his room. I changed clothes with him right there in the room.



There has never been anything sexual between us. Just make sure it is that way between you and your brother.

We're in the Twenty first Century! This is undoubtedly wrong. Fair enough, people may say different if it was a sister. But your brother! Really? Your only 15 and 16! I wouldn't even walk around in my underwear infront of my brother, sister, mother, father - Whatever! It's wrong, and I cant see how you dont feel uncomftable doing so! Sorry, I really can't see how that's normal. (:

Nudity in a family setting varies widely. If it's something you grew up with, than it's normal for you. For others who didn't grow up with it, it's not. There's no need for there to be anything wrong or sexual about it. But if either of you feel that it's become that way, stop.

Well, you's are brothers... quite frankly i've seen my siblings in the nude a lot, like-wise they have seen me. It never bothers me either because we don't actually care. I guess a lot of people will tell you the same.

I feel really comfortable about having my bother see

me naked and he does. I'll come out of the bathroom

with nothing but a towel and dry off right in front of him.

He has seen every part of me from every angle. He

watches out for me in a hundred different ways.

i also have a year-difference sister and we also share a room so a lot of times we change right in front of each other and it just shows how comfortable you two are with your sexuality.

That isn't a normal thing between brother and sister. At all. But if both of you don't try anything and there aren't any inappropriate feelings between the two of you...there isn't much of a problem. As long as your parents know what is going on...it isn't quite incest. It is just gross. Not trying to be harsh. Just sharing what I think.

If you have grown up like this and don't touch or have feelings I see no problem, but sooner or later you are going to catch him taking himself in hand, and the end result may affect you.

I sleep bare now and lower back, yet I do it each night in the process summer season. it is great, feels reliable and makes you slightly greater self-extensive unsleeping approximately your physique. As a school student i do no longer stay with my mothers and dads anymore, yet whilst i replace into in severe-college I already used to sleep bare. it somewhat is a private determination, purely like the way your dad loves to sleep in undies or your mom wearing a pajama (do no longer take my occasion in an offensive way, please). desire i ought to help

It's all right. It is normal for girls to go around without clothes and boys shouldn't complain if their entire bodies are visible.

I think its fine and as long as you and him are comfortable doing it then by all means continue. People are way too uptight about nudity in this country.
