My da and I swam every morning from my 2nd birthday until I was 24. So everyday in the locker room, in the sauna, and skinny dipping at home,Dad liked to hang out in the locker room and talk to anybody. I was very comfortable with my dad. We lived on lots of land so very private. Dad encouraged all of my friends ad their dads to come and swim and hang out nude on the ranch. We had a big pool,lake, and a stream to use.
My dad and I were nudists growing up. My mom wasn't shy about being seen nude, she just didn't walk around the house like we did. I started showering with my dad when I was 3 and continued until I went to college. Random erections were common, and considered normal and natural. Masturbating was considered normal and healthy. Going through puberty I had lots of questions and he was always open to talk about anything and everything. Nudity created a life-long bond between us
I talk to a lot of men and most of them are surprised when I tell them that I used to shower with my dad and that we often see each other naked. It is also common for us to talk about our bodies. He showed me his frenulum and told me about it. I was circumcised, then had a vasectomy, and during both surgeries he followed my recovery. The nudity and the dialogue between father and son should be natural, but unfortunately it is not.
I suspect this topic has as many answers as there are fathers & sons; each one is probably a little different. Though personally, I never showered with my Dad and don't know of anyone who did. He was part of the WWII crew and told me they gang showered & slept nude in the barracks so that was the norm. A quick check of the internet came up with this comment, "Dr. Wendy Lane, who works at the University of Maryland C h i l d r e ns Hospital, said it can actually be beneficial for ch il dr en to rinse off with their parents during their early years but the practice should stop around the age of 5.". This particular statement is probably a base line and nothing more. Perhaps the most telling part was later on when the article mentioned that it ... should stop whenever anyone gets uncomfortable. As I was part of the 70s generation, nude gang showers in both junior & senior high was the norm. After the initial shock in 7th grade, it was just something you did. Concerning my own ch il dren and gr and ch ild ren, I bathed them all. My own until about the age of 5 and the others as it is needed. Does this sound like you other folks out there?

Yes so much of this is familiar to me, my dad was the Korean era. He told of the group showers and he stayed in a quanset hut, which dad said like a tin can and was to warn to sleep in anything.
I never showered with my dad nor did I even think about it. However when it was bath time ir shower time. He would make my bath water and I would take a bath while he shaved and got ready for his shower. When he was do e he would wash me again and more less an inspection to make sure I was clean. Then I got out of the tub and would dry off and brush my teeth and comb my hair while he showered. Which he showered fast.
Then he said ok we done go get ready for bed so I ran off to my room and climbed in bed neither one of us put clothes on to sleep.
Eventually the bath stopped with me and I would shower dad didn't stay on the bathroom to make sure I got clean bit he would come in and shave and shit while I showered and would jump I. After I was out,well when I started going into puberty dad talked with me which i was. Comfortable with, you was right is was the norm on school after the initial shock of being naked with the guys you had went to school with since kindergarten.it was nothing to think about. Now even though dad and I was nude in the bathroom I ran around the house naked I was totally comfortable in front of my mom and my sister which was a lot older than me . But when puberty hit and I started sprouting pubes and all the rest that goes with. I was forbidden to be naked in front of my mom and sister. He said it was disrespectful. So when dad was home only in the bathroom and my bedroom could I be nude. But if dad was not home mom woukd allow me to be naked around the house. We lost mom when I was 15 then both if was naked at home as soon as he got in from work and me when I got home from school. It was never an issue even as adults and I would pop in to stay the night and then eventually take care of him until he passed.
