Son seeing Dad naked?

[mja91756]

Occassionally when I come out of the shower my 7 year old son may be in the bath room sometimes asking me a question, or just in general discussion.  He has recently mentioned to my wife that he thinks a "hairy penus" is ucky!  My wife is quite concerned that my son should not see his Dad naked, and I should take every precaution to make sure he does not see this.  I am not averse to this course of action, but would like to know what a professional opinion is, as my other instinct tells me that this is natural is nothing something that should be "hidden" {nor should it be overtly displayed} because I am his Dad not a stranger, etc., etc..  

I would welcome your advise.

I'm not a professional but I agree with you.  I dont' think that a big deal should be made of it nor do I think it should be overtly displayed.  So take precaution to keep the door shut but should he catch a glimps anyway, don't freak out.

I agree with you. But, if he is making mention of how your body looks to him, it is something that you need to be able to discuss with him.

All I know is as a kid I was brought up in a house where everyone covered everything. I grew up afraid of my body and all its changes.
I have 3 kids, 16 boy, 9 boy and 2 girl. The 16 has not seen me naked sonce he was 10-11.... and has never been afraid to talk to me about sex and puberty. My 9 year old still see me naked from time to time and has no fear of his body, and asks me what he needs to. And my 2 year old just loves poking my belly and boobs!! Its harmless and lets them know they will go through changes, when my kids ask about body hair, I tell them, rather than like me.... I got body hair and thought I was dying for a year!!
Keep doing what your doing. Hug ya wife and tell her you dont want im to be a prude!!
If ya hide it, he will hide too!!
