PERSONAL ANECDOTE ALERT!!!
Since I was very young, me and my family would, at times, walk around the house naked. Most of the time, this would happen before/after someone used the bathroom. For us, it was normal.
When I was a kid, I used to own a book about the human body, which was intended for 4-8 year olds. The book contained drawings of nude adults and children (only drawings, no real pictures). There was also a drawing of two adults (a man and a woman) having sex.
The book explained what sexual intercourse was, that it’s for procreation and that it can be pleasurable.
Though, as a kid, I didn’t understand why adults would want to hug each other naked. Couldn’t adults just hug each other with clothes on? I know what the book said, but even then… I just didn’t get it (as an adult, I do get it now).
Amusingly, there was a drawing in the book of a family (a father, a mother and two kids) watching a sex scene on a TV. The TV screen was showing the drawing of a man and woman having sex that I mentioned earlier. The mother was shielding her children’s eyes from viewing the TV screen, while the father looked embarrassed. Interestingly, the man and woman having sex looked similar to the father and mother…
Anyway, as I mentioned, the book showed drawings of nude children as well. These were shown to illustrate how a person grows from a child to an adult (from a boy to a man and a girl to a woman), as well as physical changes.
The book also mentioned that some families considered nudity less “prude” than others, meaning that it can be considered normal for parents and/or children to see each other naked. As an example, there was a drawing of a boy and his father brushing their teeth, while nude. In another drawing, a girl and her mother were drying their hair, also while nude.
There’s a certain bit of irony seeing nude drawings of children in a book (about the human body, but still) for children being sold in Canada. The reason why it’s legal is because the kids aren’t being “sexualized”, which apparently makes it okay. Just ignore the man and woman having sex in the book (again, for kids).
As a sidenote, I’ve seen pictures of real kids naked… But only in certain books, such as from National Geographic, which should be noted are legal because they’re not sexualizing kids. Also, most of the nude kids that I’ve seen in photos are of little boys from Africa.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that nudity in and of itself isn’t sexual. Context matters.
