@InvidiaRed Moving the thread….
It’s fun, though it’s very easy to suddenly find myself with a minor1 tag in an otherwise family friendly environment. Guess I’m more of a closet wannabe nudist, so that’s why it comes out in my stories; heck, even my potter fanfics had nudity, and those protagonists being okay with (& enjoying) it. Sure, I’ve done the research into nudist colony etiquette, typical rules for those types of places into today’s world, and they state “no-sexuality”, with consequences (how well they’re enforced can be a different matter), but I definitely don’t want to ignore that aspect of human behavior, because I don’t think it’s realistic to utterly suppress it, especially if you’ve got kids/teenagers around; I also try not to over saturate with it, either.
With Jeff, as I’ve explored him going nudist, he’s had to weigh how society perceives nudity and sexuality; something that’s pretty much true today. It’s a bit easier to force the introspection with males as they get an erection in a public setting, even in a clothed setting if it’s noticed; where it can be a point of bullying/teasing, teaching boys to be ashamed of it, to hide it, to pretend it doesn’t happen, to not play with it, and then wonder why boys have troubles later on expressing their feelings. I gave Jeff the benefit of being able to explore this in a free-range environment, to occasionally swing to being sexual when he feels like it – there’re naked, after all.
And so with Jaimie, I deliberately had his parents see the camp, so when it comes to raising him, they decide to basically free-range him, using the cost of diapers as an excuse, with Daisy as his primary babysitter. So, Jaimie, at his young age where I start his story, simply doesn’t comprehend the sexuality side, just wants to be the human that he is. Thus, I introduce him (apart from the birth scene) going to his first day of kindergarten – which is why I could start that story with the word “penis”, focusing on the feature the teacher notices as he enters the classroom. Jaimie, simply wanting to be naked at his innocent age, causes issues … like, he needs to be able to swim, so in trying to get him a swimming instructor leads to developing Jeff’s character, because i needed one willing to work with a naked child.
Risley, Ifor, and Grant were kinda forced to go naked, and they grew to like it. Dale being bullied into being naked at the start; eventually bringing Jarred along. Alyssia and Konnor, their own story. I’m kinda sensing a pattern. Of course, maybe I just like naked main characters….
