I have a friend who has bath's with her two sons who are 3 and 5, its like a treat to bath with mummy. 'if you be good you can bath with mummy' hmm na wa oh. I was quite perturbed by it.

tsmith:

i beg to differ on this issue.



I sleep starkers and even prefer to walk around starkers in my personal space (my house). I am more comfortable that way. Overtime, my husband has also come into the whole lifestyle. We have 2 children, a boy 3 & girl 1.5yrs.



The thing to me is that, whether they kids see ours or not, they would eventually know the body parts, and what better way to teach or introduce them to it that at home, afterall charity does begin at home. How do you want to teach sex education without sights? it's like learning chemistry without chemicals

Another positive to me is the confidence, liberty and security it gives. No one and nothing could ever give them a complex about their bodies. Its all about the personal space and the ability to be you in your own space, no pretence no dress up etc.

To the person that talked about the Quran, my husband is Muslim for starters. And was the quran written in this times, when responsibilities for the kids are shared btw d 2 parents? My husband has his days when he has to sort out he kids; bath, nursery runs etc so therefore he baths both the boy and the girl. We need to learn to apply sense to religion. It is what works now, not what Jesus or Mohammed said. Such limited views is the major cause of conflict in the world today, has cost millions of lives and would continue to do so.

Maybe if and when you parcel up domestic help form 9ja, we may concede to your line of thoughts, but until then and at the end of the day, it is what works for each.

Even very primitve african tribes back then wore loin clothes at their lower region to cover up their privates.There are many naturalistic groups in the UK and i have heard about them. In Britain there is a sort of festival were both male and female adults walk stark Unclad in the streets in their annual parade in certain time of the year.Now just because white ppl love to walk Unclad on the streets isnt enough reason for africans to be imitating them.Africans and especially we nigerians are notorious for imitating anything we see the white man is doing.Its like a parrot repeating what he hears his master saying without actually knowing what it means.

I actually grew up in Nigeria and only moved to the UK abt 6 yrs ago, so my quoted post referred to while i was growing up in 9Ja. though you may say my thinking has never been like the typical Nigerian.

you know in life you cannot eat your cake and have it,

these are your very own words and i have highlighted the relevant bit in BOLD


i do NOT see ONE sign of G.ENITALS on display in your "LONDON PHOTO" do you
it is still an offence in this country to display your G,ENITALS in public

i never said it is alien behaviour neither is it in africa,
you said, IT IS THEIR CULTURE i suggest you choose your words more thoughtfully and do not make generalisations that crumble under scrutiny. it is still considered quite weird.

it is kind of like producing pornographic images to buttress the argument that it depicts mainstream culture.
