what's the context? If its just your parents just stepping out of the shower and getting ready for the day, I don't see the problem. I mean I was 5 and I spend my time in my parents room, I see them out of the shower trallala no problem
If they're naked for the sake of it, or flaunting it then its not.
And are they half/fully naked??

Same-sex parents/family members.. Usually female.. It's really normal here.

If you don't then what kind of body image do your own little kids, that are impressionable and reliant on your parental influence for their attitude in life toward themselves and each other end up with? They get a neurotic obsession with being clothed and then get obsessed with conforming to some ideal displayed in a magazine? Does that make sense? In addition once they hit puberty you should wear a dressing gown (bathrobe) because the hormones kick in and they get to understand the concept of EMBARRASSMENT and that's just part of life I guess... Anyone else agree?

I choose Other becasue I do not think there is anything wrong with nudity. I think it is perfectly natural, and I do think it is silly how much we make it into this taboo and act as if the sight of a naked body is going to forever traumatize our children and acting as if nudity is just this really negative and perverse thing.

But though I beleive nudity is perfectly fine, admittedly on a purely aesthetic level I don't' really want to see my parents naked LOL

So morally I don't think it is a problem, but most kids probably would not acutally want to see it.

To be thoroughly honest, it would probably scar a child's life forever. I have voted "No" for a myriad reasons, and that would be one of them. If I voted anything else by accident, which I am sure I have not, I meant "No".

In conclusion, "No". It is not alright for that kind of thing -- when children are young, that memory is burned into their mind, and they could never forget it.

By accident, I am sure that could happen...but if it were on purpose in front of the children, I fear that it could not be erased, and it is not alright either way.

I don't see the harm to it, I see my mother naked sometimes (when she changes/gets out of the shower/goes to bed) (I'm a girl), but I haven't seen my father naked in a long time... But my mother is a little more careful when my big brother is around, he's 20, I'm only 14. So no, I don't think it's wrong.

Sure it's okay! I've seen both my parents naked many times, and it didn't affect me at all. If your parents are lax about nudity, you grow up the same. Of course if I caught my parents having sex I'd be traumatised, but we're talking non-sexual nakedness here, I assume.

Depends on how you raise the child. If you teach him "ALL NAKEDNESS IS EVIL!!" and then he has NEVER seen a naked person but suddenly, you, as his parent appears naked. The poor kid will be scarred but as for me and most people of the Asian culture will be ok. Seeing your parents naked isn't much different than seeing them in clothes other than you'll wonder for what reason they're naked but that's it.
