I’m a millennial, and I’m relatively carefree about nudity. But I noticed that my oldest brother, solidly Gen X, was super shy about nudity. One time I stayed at his house. You had to pass by the bathroom to get to the kitchen. He had just showered and was drying off and dressing in the hallway with the door closed. When I opened the door he almost tripped trying to turn away and cover up. (I did see his dick and balls — probably the only time — and they look just like mine). Just curious if this is a generational thing or just specific to my brother and many other Gen X people I know.

Umm, this is just my humble opinion:

- In terms of attitudes about nudity, is GenX prudish - NO. GenX are Internet savvy and therefore are aware of Internet sex pics, etc.

- Is GenX more cautious —>. I suspect so and with good reason. GenX is reaching or at the height of its prime time. The children of GenX are teenagers or in college by now. GenXers have mid and upper level work responsibilities/titles. Socially, GenXers would have the most to risk in terms of authority if they are caught nude.

** In other words, your brother probably does not view you as a peer and therefore is not comfortable being nude around you.

Teens or in college by now? GenX was born 41 to 60 years ago. Many have grandkids in college or high school. Some have great grandchildren

In part it is, but in my humble opinion is a cultural and very family oriented thing, an other words how you were broad up, must importantly how your Parents, Grand Parents, and so ford..were broad up. I’m from 2 different cultures and boy ..! are they different, one thing they have in common is the neither families are into public nudity even amongst us, both of my Parents taught us about our own space and privacy, specially with my sisters, I have never seeing my Brothers or Sisters privet parts not even accidentally, my Father yessss and OMG. but is for another thread !
