Nudity between family

173 replies

AIBU to think that it is weird that my boyfriend let his mum come into the bathroom for a wee whilst he was nakedly shaving his body (possibly chest, possibly butt). Background: Portuguese family where bf is only child (seen as miracle child) and family are liberal and very comfortable with nudity together and talking about sex.

I guess I'm repressed and like a hairy man then! Both the shaving and the public peeing is odd

No. That's not logical at all.
Why are you all "horrified" by nudity? It's a mother seeing her son nude. She needed a pee. Meh. I think there are a LOT of repressed people on this thread.

And there's a lot of fucking weirdos too

JasmineVioletRose · 17/07/2022 22:06

Yes. Shaving their cracks!!! 😂

Loveisnotloving · 17/07/2022 22:07

I think it is the way you were brought up, I have never, thankfully, seen my parents naked. To be fair seeing my mother naked wouldn't bother me but I would honestly prefer not to see my dad's tackle.

I will literally have nightmares tonight of me sitting in the bath, fat baps floating on the top of the water and my adult son comes barging in, whips his knob out and has a wee right in front of me.

I would rather die and he would gouge his eyes out with a teaspoon.

Erm much more weird he was shaving his bits!!

Why is it weird to be naked in front of his mum ffs? She have birth to him! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just weird when you are an adult

Scianel · 17/07/2022 22:10

I can't think of much worse than having a stubbly arse-crack. Christ that must itch.

Thebeastofsleep · 17/07/2022 22:17

Harridance · 17/07/2022 22:00

I've often needed a wee when the bathroom is occupied, I just hold on

Well, you are very lucky to have good pelvic floor muscles and no pre-disposition to bladder infections! We aren't all so blessed.

Very true

If its not the boy shaving himself or the maw walking in to have a pee in the middle of it....its the girlfriend walking in when he's in the bathroom to say hello 😂

All i want to say is

Did ye aye?

Libre2 · 17/07/2022 22:22

I know I am missing the whole point of the thread but I am worrying about your oh getting terrible ingrowing hairs on his butt. He’s be better waxing I think.

Minimalme · 17/07/2022 22:22

If he's going away with friends op, how much of his butt is he planning on displaying?

Does he favour a manikin?

TugboatAnnie · 17/07/2022 22:23

I can't unsee a naked man spread-eagled on the side of the bath like a huge spider clinging onto the side panel.
Plus I'd be a bit worried if a group of men compared smooth bum cracks but then I'm quite old and not necessarily up on what youngsters do nowadays.

Minimalme · 17/07/2022 22:23

Mankini?

Nizathe · 17/07/2022 22:30

I couldn't get worked up about this, it's whatever. I've seen my nan in the bath when I've needed a wee, same the other way around.

Also, shaving chest and bum, meh, personal preference. I prefer a shaved bum but a hairy chest personally haha.

Littleguggi · 17/07/2022 22:34

Oh god this thread is hilarious! It's got to be a wind up honestly! And if it's not, buy your bf a bathroom lock!!

SherbertLemonDrop · 17/07/2022 22:44

Very weird!!!

Sally872 · 17/07/2022 22:48

I would let my mum (or my partner) inerupt for a pee if the only toilet.

I think it is bit weird for you to pop in to say hello though.

VioletInsolence · 17/07/2022 22:55

🙄

DarlingDarwin · 17/07/2022 22:58

Do you have twins?

DarlingDarwin · 17/07/2022 22:58

Do you have twins?

Oh no. Do you reckon it's one of those? Surely not on a Sunday night!??

Harridance · 17/07/2022 20:34

Doing a wee in front of your adult child is not normal

Meh, depends on family. Quite often I'd be in the shower, my sister in the bath and my mum on the toilet. No biggie. We're quite comfortable being nude in front of each other.

Not so sure I'd be so keen on opposite sex though, definitely wouldn't pee in front of my dady! Having said that my son is nearly 4 and I will quite happily go to loo, have shower, get changed etc with him knocking about.

RosyappleA · 17/07/2022 23:55

Came to say this thread is hilarious and thanks for the laughs. ‘Were you in there too?’ 😂 Bum shaving 😂 do go on…

WineIsMyMainVice · 18/07/2022 00:01

We all have to do it, don’t we??!!
I really can’t see the problem with having a quick wee in front of nearest and dearest!!

This 🤣 aren't you a smigedon concerned that going away with his friends preperation involves, arse shaving 😳😳😳

Bellyups · 18/07/2022 00:04

Weird as fuck

EmeraldShamrock1 · 18/07/2022 00:04

All families are different/bonkers compared to our own.

If he's comfortable shaving his butt crack while his DM takes a wee, who are we to judge.
