OP,

I may be dense here, but there are 2 things which bother me in this thread:

1. People on this thread are putting on par adult porn (and the open collecting of such) to pedophilic tendencies. Worlds apart. The first is tasteless but not abusive, the second, horrific.

2. What have you concluded was going on? 
Did you father want this kind of parading and did he get a perverse thrill out of it, or did your mother? Or was it some sort of awkward, weird thing of your mother that she wanted a grown up girl who could dress and model provocatively, but without pedophilic intent?

I come from a European family where each family member dressed and showered in front of the other. No body shame or guilt or repression. However I can see perfectly that catwalking in lingerie in front of one's male family members can seem iffy, but then again, it depends on the context. Plenty of show-biz families do that kind of thing without a second thought.

So... only you can know, OP. It's just that throwing things out there without context just makes people assume the worst, which is not right for your parents if they are not guilty of that.

And as for your original vent - of course it's hard to see one's faults and easier to see others'! Everyone does this. We can only hope that our children do not resent us too much - we're bound to mess up at some point.
