Yes, I was raised in a nudist family. My parents always taught me that nudity was okay at home and at designated nudist areas such as beaches and resorts, but not in public places. I always accepted that. Now it seems like my daughter is pushing the limits, something which I never did. That's why I need help dealing with this.

I agree that I'm unable to tell her that it's wrong. It has risks, I agree with that. The problem is that she's comfortable with everyone seeing her nude, it turns her on. She has no shame when it comes to this. Which on itself is a good thing, it boosts her self-confidence. Part of nudism is being comfortable in your own skin, which she certainly is. But when you deliberately go showing yourself to non-suspecting people, it has nothing to do with nudism anymore. That's exhibitionism, and that's what she's doing.

To her, showing herself off is just fun. I don't want to deny her having fun, but if I don't stop her, next thing I know is that she's walking around the neighborhood in the nude. At a nudist resort she can walk around in the nude all she wants, it doesn't matter. But to her it's not the same. When everybody else is nude too, you don't stand out for being nude. She wants to stand out, she wants to attract attention with her nudity. That's an exhibitionist trait.

There are lines between public and private, that's true. The problem is that she's pushing these lines. I've explained things to her as best as I could, she just keeps stepping over the line. She just keeps taking her private life to public.

What can I do?

 

I think it's quite normal for kids at that age, even among families who are much more conservative in dress around home, teens, especially girls tend to want to show off their newly developed bodies somewhat. Moms have forever had to tell girls they're revealing a bit too much in public. It should be the same rules for boys and girls, but girls don't always realize that they can be putting themselves at risk of being assaulted or attacked for tempting the wrong guy. It shouldn't be that way, but it's just a reality that needs to be brought up. I've raised 3 boys, now in their twenties and they were much the same through those years. In time they'll likely become more reserved.

 

Some of it could be that she's found something that pushes your buttons. Kids spend their time testing limits, not out of spite but just because basically and she's found something that gets a reaction. There is a danger in what she's doing, if she walking the neighborhood nude she could very well get picked up by the police.

 

My daughters are also very exhibitionist, they are 9 years old, they always love to be naked both at home and in the garden and they often masturbate in the garden even if there are strangers, sometimes they get naked on the road and masturbate in front of those who pass by.

 

And you allow them to do that?

That's exactly the kind of behavior which is not considered acceptable among nudists, who have learned to separate nudity from sex. Masturbation and other sexual activities are done in private.

At 9 years old I might be okay with being nude in public even outside the designated nudists area, but public masturbation is a big no! That's not okay. Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly fine that they masturbate even at such a young age. Nothing wrong with that. They should just learn not to do that in public.

 

I understand your point of view, but they love masturbating and I don't see the problem if they do it, even in front of others, in the street in front of the house, it rarely happens, instead inside the house and in the garden every day, now for example we have the gardener who is pruning some plants and they are in the garden with their friends sunbathing naked and all 5 of them are masturbating

 

Even my daughters who are always naked and are 10 and 8 years old are very exhibitionist, they love to be seen naked by anyone and sometimes it happened that while they were in the garden sunbathing naked they started masturbating even if we had guests because they wanted them to see them while they masturbated.
