This topic was a 'tweener between D&ST and Not BS, Not BSs.  So I put it here, mostly because of the question at the end.

I'm 1/4 Norwegian, 1/4 German, 1/4 Canadian, 1/8 Scottish, and 1/8 English.  My parents have been retired a while, so they've been chasing the family tree.  My Pop's family came into the States from Canada, and on my Mom's side Gramps was German, Grammar was Norwegian.  They had everything tied down except for the Norwegian part.  They traced Grammar thru Ellis Island, who was orphaned on the boat trip over from Norway.

So they went over to Larvik, Norway to visit the relatives, and dig thru the archives.  They figured it all out.  Good for them.

But then it got weird.

Mom's 2nd/3rd or 4th cousin played host, has a nice house on a bluff overlooking the fjord.  After a few days they went to their vacation home in the mountains.  The back deck includes a nice-sized marble inlay, with seating, clothing hooks, and a huge hot tub...all marble...cool.

So here's what happens:
"It's been a long day.  Want to soak in the tub?"
"We didn't bring any suits."
"Oh, we don't ever use suits."
.....
....
"Really?"
"Yeah.  It's usually just family."
"But you said that you have family reunions (about 15 people)."
"Everyone gets in, there's room left over."
"And everyone's naked?"
"Yeah, why?"
"So like when your son, daughter, and their corresponding in-laws are visiting (from 18 to 35) they get in too?"
"Sure.  But my daughter-in-law is Canadian, so she usually wears a robe until the last minute.  But it's not too weird."
.....
....
"Come on, it will be fun."

So, I don't know about you, but I do not want to see any of my family naked.  Second, if it was my in-laws instead, I wouldn't want to see what my wife is going to look like naked in 20 years...by comparing my naked mother-in-law sitting next to my naked wife.  However, I wouldn't mind seeing my sister-in-law's fake boobs...

Is this normal for Europe?  Am I another one of those sexually-repressed Americans because I don't really want to hang out with the ENTIRE family in the nude?  And no, I live in Texas, not Louisiana...my family tree has branches.

Well, my brother said my Mom is hot. (EDIT - this is a joke.)




If you mean thw sister-in-law, she's identical to the wife - about 115 lbs - but add about 10 lbs in boobs.

If you mean anyone else...I'm not going to elaborate...therapy's pretty expensive.

It's probably normal in Norway, but as for the rest of Europe, no that would not be considered normal. But anyway, do we get any pictures? And did you actually get nekkid with your family in a hot tub?

Your brother.

Meaning, by laws of transitivity, your brother said his mom is hot.


Your brother thinks his mom is hot.

wrong. in east germany, nudism was and is wide spread. the reason is the communist education ideology during the time of the "german democratic republic"

Bad story? Because ppl are comfortable with their bodies and sexualities? I admire the Norwegians.
It seams the further North and colder you go in Europe the more ppl get naked. We shouldn't bother about worrying what ppl think anyway.
We have built sweat lodges (home made sauna) at outdoor parties and got very naked many times. Its very liberating. I don't think I have a friend who hasn't seen me naked infact. I once threw my clothes into a hedge and they ended up falling into a bucket of water. When I emerged from the sweat lodge at 3am after an hour, I got hosed down with ice cold water. Then I went for my clothes which were soaked. So I was freezing. No clothes, 3am out door Irish winter weather........I went to the music and danced in the buff to warm up. Great times!!!!!!!

Maybe. But you sound a lot more like an arrogant ignorant American. Its a different country it has different customs and cultures. Go to Asian and African Countries and they'll serve you up a plate of bugs/insect/spiders or animal testicles for dinner. Go to areas in Papua and there's tribes where it is seen as weak for young male children to drink there mothers milk and drink there fathers semen for nutrient instead.

Yes, nudity is much more common in Europe and having uni sex bathrooms and toilets is not out of the ordinary. Just think of it from their perspective. You think they're weird for doing this, they think your weird because you resist or don't do it. It's really up to you if you want to or not participate in other people culture, but you have no right to say its weird, wrong or to bash it.

You think being in a tub with your realitives makes you an incest? You really need to think about your sexuality

I wouldn't say it's common that families get to gether in tubs in Finland but we have our strong Sauna tradition.
Whole family, or in appartment houses even many families, get in the sauna togheter atleast once a week. I live in a single family house and I go to the sauna almost every day and I don't feel weird at all to be around naked relatives.

It's ok to me if you find it weird, but you should keep it to your self. Not everyone is so sexually insecure that they can't be in the same room naked with someone.

I don't really see why if someone does not wish to see their family naked, that makes them sexually insecure.
