Starting when we were just babies, there were two other boys in our block that were the same age as me. We were together all the time not only because we liked each other, but also because our mothers were good friends and hung out drinking coffee and gossiping while us kids played.
Among our adventures was communal bathing. When it was bath time the women would often pop all three of us into the tub at one of the houses. Sometimes we played in the water and bubbles for a while. Other times the ladies were in a hurry and one of the moms would wash all three of us and hand us out one at a time to another mom for drying, and a third mom for dressing us. But the point is, from birth to maybe four or even five years old we were naked together nearly every day. It was not a big deal - we were three little nudists around each other time and time again as we grew from babies into boys.
The bathing continued on a different level as we became big enough to take our own baths. My mom might say, "Well, we've got to go home so Regi can take his bath."
One of my buddies would protest, "Regi can take his bath with me," looking forward to the two of us getting undressed and playing around in the water. If two or three of us spent the night together, we would bathe in a group -- or shower after we outgrew tub baths. We gave special attention to each other's junk. We probably got little boners too, but that part of it is hazy. Showering was just another way to play. I remember one time that we must have been banging around in the shower and one of the mothers yelled through the door, "What's going on in there?"
Her son answered, "Regi and I are scrubbing each other." Apparently this was a satisfactory answer.For us three, being naked together was perfectly normal, an everyday aspect of our lives.

These boys were quite fortunate. My mother would have gone ballistic if she thought I was naked in front of another boy. Depending on my age, I would have gotten a spanking or been grounded.
ReplyDeletemy brothers and i always took showers together after we came in from the barn. as soon as we walked in from the barn we strip out of our barn clothes and took a shower. we would wash each others backs and fool around slapping and pushing each other out of the shower. the best part was that the shower was in the basement.
ReplyDeleteI know this is not the point of the story, but notice that each mother observed not only her own boy naked, but also two that were not hers. I love the idea that the boys were comfortable in front of each other, but the mothers constantly looking at the other naked boys is slightly freaky to me.
