As for seeing kids naked, I've been stuck to change diapers on 7 kids so far and I'm only an Uncle. I've taken kids to public swimming pools and they (and I) get into swimsuits in a locker room. It was the middle of winter and there was no choice. I actually taught swimming years ago and there were near to a fifty kids, a dozen adults and swim instructors changing in the locker rooms.
I, too, have seen a lot of naked kids as an adult, in locker rooms at swimming pools, locker rooms at heath clubs, and elsewhere.
I'm sure I've seen my grandchildren, male and female, have their diapers changed, but since I didn't have to change them, it left no impression on me, and I don't recall any particular incident. I didn't run over to have a closer look, but I didn't put my hands over my eyes or run out of the room. If someone has to physically turn away to avoid seeing a baby's genitals, when the kid is having his or her diaper changed, I would say that is the person with the problem.
I remember the incident I recalled on this forum not so much because the kid had big balls as for the look on his father's face, when after he said, "Yeah, he's just like his father," I replied, "Yeah, big balls and a tiny dick." (I had never seen the father's genitals, so I don't know how big his dick was, lest someone go off on me about that).
I remember my daughter discussing circumcision once, saying she wouldn't let them circumcise a particular son after he was born, but those were the only two circumstances I can remember that any of us discussed any of her kid's genitals. She has five sons, the youngest of which, is 18.
I remember as a kid being in the bathroom naked, while my mom and my aunt discussed whether my circumcision was tight enough. My aunt thought it wasn't. I was probably eight or nine and it wasn't strange, at the time, to be naked in front of them; I don't remember why I was; I imagine I had a rash or something on my genitals they were looking at. I probably remember the incident because, until then, I didn't know boys had foreskins they cut off.
Please: no pro or con circumcision comments. There are other threads for those. If it happens in this thread, it will be closed.
