I sense that you are being sarcastic?

But I think that if anything it's better that these young girls see women with ordinary bodies be comfortable in their own skin as opposed to swimsuit model type bodies. Like it or not, it's almost impossible these days to prevent children from seeing nearly naked bodies on TV and on magazine covers at the grocery store.

I can't see how innocent non-sexual nudity in a locker room is harming them?[/quote]

Part of raising kids who are protected against sexual abuse is raising kids who know what healthy boundaries are like.  As a teacher, obviously it's wrong for me to groom students, and I'd never do it, but it's also wrong for me to do things that someone who was grooming students would do, even if I do it for "innocent" purposes.  So, if I normalize taking of my clothes in front of students, it makes my students a little less likely to tell someone when another teacher, with less innocent motivation takes off their clothes.  Similarly, I know that I could have a kid alone with me in my classroom without abusing them, but if I do that, it makes it less likely that another teacher asking them into their classroom will raise alarm bells.

So, no.  I don't think kids will be harmed by seeing me naked, but they can be potentially harmed if boundaries aren't clear.  [/quote]

Well said. [/quote]
