First experience with nudity

Does anyone remember the first time they saw an adult man naked growing up? I do. I mean its possible I.may have seen a naked man before this but this was the first memory I have.My dad was in the Navy and we were able to take a dependents cruise on the ship he was on. I was about 7. I remember seeing men walking around naked with absolutely no shame. They were shaving naked, they walked to and from the open shower naked. We walked past and I told my dad I had to go to the bathroom, not because I really had to go but so I could walk by the naked men. I wouldn't describe it as a sexual feeling because I didn't even know what sex was at the time. I just knew I liked what I saw and wanted to see more. I would not realize I was gay until about five or six years later. This experience shaped my attraction to men and the type of men I am attracted to. They all had pubic hair and in fact, I didnt know until I was an adult that men even shaved their pubic hair. Anyone have anything similar?

My Dad used to play for a local cricket team and I would often spend the afternoon at the fields. I was about 6-7 the first time I think and went in the changing rooms after the game where all the men were stripping off and going in the shower. My Dad said to join them and showered with them too. I was fascinated but all the different shapes and sizes of penises and seeing their pubic hair, I'm circumcised and in the minority in the UK so seeing their foreskins was a particular area of interest. I managed to do this several times over the years

For me it was summer camp. There were open showers and we all just piled in to the open bays. I didnt really think much of it, but I do remember the camp counselor also going in as well. It was somewhat fascinating.

Being raised Mormon I was being baptized shortly after turning 8. Mormons dunk you completely in a giant tub within their churches. When my dad and I went back into the locker room to change I was staring at the other boys that were naked and changing in there too.

Other than dad around the house it was when I was 11 and went to the first Boy Scout swim at the YMCA. Always nude in those days.

I vaguely remember a little bit of potty training with my dad in our downstairs bathroom when I was little, and one time seeing him get out of bed and immediately put on boxers.

The next time I remember seeing a naked man was at Scout camp. We were changing for swimming, our scout master came out of his tent to the common area while pulling his shorts up. The tents were tall and open sided, it didn't matter. Later that week I ended up in the open showers with him and possibly another leader. Boys and men weren't separated back then. It was my first experience with open showers outside of school. (We only showered at school in 4th grade, no budget for it any other year)

I tried to post my story on the page but I can't figure out how, perhaps it's my phone but I liked your story . I could kind of relate when you talked about going to the bathroom to see more.
My mom was a single parent and a bit out to lunch which explains a lot going forward... She worked some nights, some days and that meant I was home alone a lot, and I would hang out with the neighbor guy most times when she was gone. I'm assuming this was great for her, and a "good decision " because he was a free babysitter, and she didn't have to take the bus to pick me up, or drop me off.
The man next door was a tall average dad body kind of guy who I think did management or office stuff for work, but I don't really know other than he was home a lot.
I don't recall when or how it started but I was over at his place all the time doing stuff like watching TV, messing around in the garage, swimming in the hot tub or wrestling with the guy. The point is we were naked all the time and his friends that came over got naked also. I don't recall how but i was about 5 i think when I first remember us hanging out naked together. I remember when we would be in the hot tub I would go pee with with the other guys, not because I had to but because I liked walking with them to the bathroom and seeing penises up close.
Definitely not a socially normal situation, but those were some of the best years for sure.

More or less since birth, my dad - my folks weren't nudist, but completely casual about bedroom / bathroom nudity. Starting at about 8, the locker room at the municipal pool. At summer camp, when I was about 12 or 13, the counselors joined the campers in the gang showers - that was the first time that I really noticed that these were naked "adults" - I suppose because it was different from the gang showers at school, where a teacher would certainly never join us. I've always just kind of accepted that bodies vary, and that nudity is no big deal - these experiences didn't tie in, at all, with the development of my sexuality.

Probably not my first but a very memorable time was going swimming with some friends from school. Showers were an open block at the time and there was a guy in there. I was about 9 and he was in there soaping his pubic hair for what seemed like hours! He seemed huge and very hairy as at the time I was only just starting to grow hair (yes I did develop quite young - 2nd kid at school to grow public hair lol). Anyway when I had a bath at home later that week I remembered that guy so mimicked what he had done - I learnt a few new tricks that bath time lol

For me it was in the late 50's & early 60's when swimming nude was required for everyone at the YMCA. The water felt great flowing over my nude body.
