Yes, I believe he would but nudity in my opinion is always more beautiful when it's unexpected. Nude comes from the Latin word "nudis” but “nudity has very different meanings to people of many different cultures. What one sees as offensive the other sees as sensual, so growing up where nudity is common makes no difference in adulthood. It may even enhance the sexual experience. Nudity was never the original sin but the shame that was attached to it. Growing up with nudity in a household could certainly stop the aspect of shame. The free and uninhibited body, which would be free of shame, could only enhance every sexual/sensual experience. It could also be free of the sexual experience with another person too. It would be a matter of respecting others who are nude and a level of trust that people develop with each other. Perhaps when society can perceive nudity as beautiful we’d have much less pedophilia? When I say pedophilia I’m NOT talking about the violent criminals who rape and kill children but men/women who have an intense curiosity about children. Violent criminals will always be here and they don’t care if it’s a clothed or nude child. Their intent is to hurt a child, which has nothing to do with nudity. “Shame is not natural, we are all taught shame and that's a shame. Just like we are all born geniuses, we are taught stupidity. Ignorance is fact yet to be learned.” Anonymous. Having said all that you’d not catch me nude in a public place because I truly believe modesty invites respect but I didn't grow up in a nude household so that’s where I’m based. For sure men and women both have natural innocent reactions to what's around them but sadly men cannot hide that fact and it's perceived as offensive. It’s a natural reaction that should not offend or shame anyone.

I don't find nudity arousing at all. I think the imagination is a more powerful form of arousal. If you can imagine what someone is like when nude, then that's more arousing than if they just walked around with no clothes on.

I grew up in a household where casual family nudity was common. We were not always naked, but we had no problem seeing one another without clothing if we were changing, taking a bath, or if the weather was hot. From this personal experience I can tell you frankly that it has done nothing but make my life better in every way. As a father with three children and a wife, we now have a clothing optional household. We are all often nude at home when the weather is warm. My wife and I have a very passionate love life and no matter how many times I see her nude body in the most ordinary daily situations she looks incredibly beautiful to me. I can certainly say it is arousing. So, there is a personal answer to your question.

Imagine an invisible, undetectable force that's powerful enough to override your sense of reason yet draws you to someone with an almost animal passion. These aren't Cupid's mythological arrows, but real shots of human pheromones. http://health.discovery.com/centers/sex/aphrodisiacs/phermones.html Welcome to The Scent of Eros: Mysteries of Odor in Human Sexuality - 'Scientists in Philadelphia have established for the first time that the human body produces pheromones, special aromatic chemical compounds discharged by one individual that affect the sexual physiology of another'.... http://www.athenainstitute.com/discovery.html Do pheromones work in human sexual attraction? They may be odorless and colorless and their function may be mysterious, but human pheromones at last have the zest of scientific truth. Researchers at the University of Chicago have demonstrated that compounds swabbed from the 'underarms' of young women at different times of the month can alter the length of other women's menstrual cycles, compressing or expanding the cycles in predictable fashion.... http://www.ishipress.com/humanodo.htm http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9803/11/pheromones/index.html What is the force that lights the fuse between two complete strangers? What current pulses through their veins, engorges their hearts, occupies their minds and numbs their texting fingers? As magic formulas go, sexual chemistry must surely be the most valuable. It's intoxicating effects are more pleasurable and more powerful than any drug and when it hits, it hits hard. There are the rushes of ecstacy, the gut wrenching anticipation, fluttering, dizziness, and the diminished concentration that turns day-dreaming into a full-time job. And then there are the side effects. A positively Colombian annihilation of appetite and its confidence- boosting by-product, weight loss. But no one knows what "it" is. Scientists have managed to map our genetic blueprint. They understand the subtleties of hormones and the complexities of the emotional brain. But the thing that makes two people click remains a mystery. Theories abound as to what, or why. Those looking for a magic bullet (or Cupid's arrow) tend to favour the notion of pheromones - scents secreted by the sweat glands in the 'armpits'.... http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4159/is_20030629/ai_n12741733 Science of Love - Cupid's Chemistry: Why do we love, what is passion, and why is intense desire between two people sometimes called "chemistry"? There are, in fact, three distinct stages of love; each with their own characteristic emotional profile and scientific explanation. First is lust. Lust is driven by our sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen. These hormones are what get us 'out on the pull'. After lust comes attraction. This is the love-struck phase; the time when we lose our appetite, can't sleep, and can't concentrate. This is what we know as falling in love. http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/articles/article/clairemcloughlincolumn1.htm/ http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/content/interviews/interview/446/ The psycho-physico chemistry of love: When two people are attracted to each other, a virtual explosion of adrenaline-like "nuerochemicals" gush forth. Also, involved in chemistry are dopamine and norepinephrine, chemical cousins of amphetamines. Dopamine makes us feel good and norepinephrine stimulates the production of adrenaline. It makes our heart race! These three chemicals combine to give us infatuation. Tht is why new lovers feel euphoric and energized, and float on air. New lovers can make love for hours and talk all night for weeks on end. Now, imagine the combined effect of hormones and pheromones. It's bound to be mind boggling. That is the power of adulthood.

Nude good clothes bad. I personally hate to wear clothes (buy them yes wear them no) but that doesn't make seeing an attractive man nekked any less of a turn on. I've never seen a man not want to see an unrelated woman nekked before. Is that even poosible?

I've, so far, been in a family where parents often walk in and push open shower curtains, revealing me full-frontal nude, and it's sort of embarrassing at first. But in answer to your question, I would atleast "think" not at all... The only question I have is has anyone here ever heard of a family as lax in rules as mine?

We have a couple of real-life example from which to draw. Human tribes that are very scantily clad and the great apes. I think that, like for most adults, nudity in itself is not enough to get the juices flowing, so to speak. Kinda like being in a locker room. But, like for our hairier cousins and our scantily clad brothers, once the scenario becomes a sexual one then the situation becomes a little more firm.

I would think so. I don't think that he would necessarily think of his family members in a sexual manner simply due to their lack of clothing, and I don't think that would necessarily make him any less attracted to anyone later in life. I personally walk the line between finding nudity arousing and also finding it very liberating in a non-sexual way. Our home (my boyfriend and our young son) is clothing-optional as well, although we don't go naked all that often--usually when we do it's for convenience. Out of respect for my ex-husband's own values, we don't go nude when our son and daughter are visiting.

just nudity? no. there's no biological imperative that says, "must be ready whenever i see flesh". in fact the earliest of humans must have been naked. the biological imperative says, "when the time come, be ready for action!" that's normally signaled by nakedness in the clothed world. but it would have some other kink of signal in a nude society. bonobos (our closest relative) give us the best insight into this. they are extremely horny creatures who have sex at the drop of a hat. the young males get excited when an "opportunity" has been signaled. they don't walk around excited all the time.
