Your friend’s ex-boyfriend is well rid of her. If she is that prudish and judgmental, I pity any man who ends up with her as a girlfriend.
Nudity is not about sex.
Let me say that again.
Nudity is not about sex.
That the ex and his daughter are comfortable with each other’s bodies seems to me to be an excellent thing. That your friend is freaked suggests to me that she has a pretty warped mind. I have no idea what she thinks, but it can’t be good. Does she suspect him of having an inappropriate relationship with his daughter? Get a grip! If that was going on, he never would mention it.
No, it is your friend who has a real problem. Unfortunately, given the responses here, I’d have to say that 90% of fluther has a real problem. Their phobias and judgments about nudity—the fear that this is all about sex—is a real problem. Of course, it is an American problem, and truth be told, it is my problem as well.
Well, if it was up to me, it wouldn’t be a problem, but my wife has the same ideas about nudity equating to sex as all the other Americans seem to. Life ain’t perfect, obviously.
I’d have to say the real issue here is that the bf is willing to go against social convention and she isn’t. I think she is wise to break up with the guy because that will be a serious problem if that is not the only way he dances to a different drummer. If that is the only way he is different, then I suspect she is missing a damn good catch. But that’s on her.
