What has happened to our country? Nudity and sexual activities are not the same thing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the human body. In the old days, men and boys skinny dipped down at the river regularly. The ladies and girls would go at a different time. That was the days before swim suits and clothes were washed by hand. So if the clothes weren't dirty yet, they took them off so that would have dry clothes to wear to go back home in. They might not have had but two or maybe three pairs of pants in those days on the farm 100 years ago. And the outhouse had two or more holes. Why? All the guys were down there at the same time.
We are in a heap of trouble if we continue this all nudity is sexual. We won't be able to change diapers on litle kids. I don't know what we will do with them. Hire animals to raise them I guess.
A teacher in some schools can get into trouble for just changing a five or six year old kid who had a stomach virus and messed in his pants. Only professional nurses can do that now. So the little 8 year old girl who can't clean herself up adequately must be changed or helped by the single 23 year old male nurse. There is questionable sexual overtones if we allow her female teacher who is a mom and has a daughter her same age help her. This is how far we are taking all of this nudity stuff.
This is not a slam against the young male nurse. It is pointing out that most elementary girls would rather a woman help them in this situation and depending on what kind of dad the boys have, they also may feel more comfortable with a woman helping them if they have never had a male adult care for them.
On a tangent here, but there have been several threads where a dad has brought his son or sons into an all male gymn where nudity is the norm or is at least accepted, and then the "dad" chooses to take on the task of the almighty to declare what is a sin or not a sin there in the all male gymn.
Dads, on here? If you don't approve of male nudity in an all male gymn, then find another place to take your sons.
At the local fitness center there are two dressing rooms. One, you have to be 18 to go in and the other is all age groups. Nothing sinister in the adult room at all. The reason is to keep little unsupervised boys from coming in and destroying the place. Any sexual activity or suggestion there of would have a person bounced in a New York second. And fathers with little boys who can't dress themselves must use the all age dressing room. They can't use the 18 and over.
I like it for one reason. I don't ever have to worry about some kid accusing me of anything sexual. In this world, there is no trial really. The guy if accused is guilty even with a video proving otherwise. In the community he is forever guilty.
So Dad, if you want to open up your own fitness center and require long pants, water shoes, and plastic caps on heads and water gloves, go ahead. It is your money. Who knows? It may be overflowing with guys. I would build it pretty small though. I doubt you will have many members.

Seriously, you should have put a towel around your waist to cover up your penis. Its perfectly fine to be nude if your genitals aren't butchered with peircings. I commend the father for telling his child that what other people do is not only wrong but immoral, and also for standing up for the values that civilized people care about. Clearly you can live your life the way you want, but don't be surprised when people actually object. Children will be children, and stupid adults will be ignorant about showing off their screwed up lifestyles in front of children.

Photonpig;
1) What he does with his body and parts are his business and no one else's.
2) No one should push their opinion on just what is or is not acceptable. That's why the constitution has that little thing called freedom of expression
3)A lockerroom certainly is NO place for an impressionable young boy, in particular if the father is a thick- headed, self righteous, moron who feels he has assert himself by berating a stranger on his lifestyle.
4) A lockerroom is a place hwere nudity is not only a generality there, and certainly not unacceptable, What do you want them do do----shower with their boxers on?

Maybe he thinks we should be fully clothed and wear blindfolds so we are totally safe to be around?

I had a similar encounter while on a business trip (a week before Christmas) to Duluth, MN.
It was colder than hell, a fire drill occured, they thought there was fire, and everyone was required to get out. I did in a bathrobe, and froze most of me and mini-me up.
When "permitted" to return to our rooms, I was so cold, I thought I would warm up in the sauna. So, at 1:00am I'm sitting in the steam, men only sauna, naked with a towel over my back and head, my lap uncovered.
A(edit) guy close to my age came in with two boys, perhaps 15 to 17 the were in jocks, but clothing was not at all required. He frowned at me when I said "good morning" while the youngsters sat down on the cedar bench on either side of me. Just the 4 of us in a relatively large sauna, and the "boys" had to sit on either side of me, he was across from me, soon their knees touch my knees from both sides,and at this point I got up to leave and while I was leaving, the ole man, made a comment of wearing something, instead of being nude in front of the "kids". It was indecent.
I got back to the room and tossed about abit saying to myself what I should of said to him. BullShit.........................
