Quote From: cokebottleHi, I am a 38 year old male with 4 kids & been happily married for 14 years - when we were 1st married I spent all of the summer naked around the house with no protest from my wife & she was well aware of my naturist nature as when ever we went to a secluded swimming hole I always was nude - she even did it too! 
Even when our first child was born she did not mind me being naked, she would video me playing with our child naked (camera angle above waist) 
Then as the children grew up she started to get more & more prudish & started to ask me to cover up in front of the kids, (which I did to keep the peace) 
Last summer we lived at house with a pool & she tolerated me swimming nude at night, but this year (I am in Australia - hot days of spring started already) she is freaking out if I lay in bed nude! 
Now the children are 8 (boy) 6 (boy) 4 (girl) & 2 (boy) & she has got it into her head that I am some sort of pervert who gets off on cavorting around naked to give myself pleasure, I have pointed out to her if this was the case why don't I have a erection & she brushes this off - she says I must love myself - I reply that I am more comfortable nude - she will then say I am no stud either which I find a put down, I asked her if I toned up & lost a bit of weight could I walk around nude? she didn't have an answer for that one! 
 
I want other womens opinion's about this issue, am I normal? if so what can I do to convince her? I think she is being overprotective of the kids, I belive they should be exposed to nudity so when they grow up it is not a big taboo/obssesion etc 
 
I was browsing the messages & seen your posting & it struck me as the exact same
story as my hubby except it was me that was nude all the time
He started getting more & more touchy about me being nude in front of my twin boys who were
5 yr old
I was raised in a nudist family, we all swam nude in our pool from an early age & went to nude beachs - my husband knew this
when he married me but still he worried my sons would be made into sexual fiends or something?
I eventualy got him to go to a nude beach with me alone & there was several family groups & couples there
after that he relaxed his opinion about nudity & now is nude all summer with the kids and I.
I do not agree with the people who say that kids should not see there parents nude, in fact several studies
have proved otherwise - even Dr Phil mentions it in his book as not being negative.
Cokebottle I think you should try harder honey!
I agree with the comments by kcitsme3 I agree with you totaly about society looking down there nose if you are
different to them.
Try searching on the internet for research into nudity & children, check out the numerous christian
nudist sites too!
Don't worry about what other narrow minded people say!
