And this is the problem. In years past kids would be naked with other kids, when changing after gym for example. Nowadays the only penis a boy sees is his own and that of porn people, because we've made normal nude situations extremely rare, especially outside of the context of sex.
- rightbyte 3y agoDon't childen shower together anymore after gym classes?
- delfinom 3y agoNope, the only kids that used the showers in my high school were the ones after their sports training after school.
- dmd 3y agoWe certainly didn’t in my public school in the 1980s; they’d stopped doing that by the late 70s. (NYC suburbs)
- HaZeust 3y agoNope; but to be fair, I also think it's better without it - especially in a post-smartphone era where everyone has a camera in their pocket. The repercussions are just not worth it.
- marcus_holmes 3y agoThis. The whole "you westerners are weird about your bodies because you didn't get to see your grandma's tits when you were kids" thing. We need to normalise nudity as non-sexual, especially within families.
