Encouraging data - the cross cultural record is not normally explicit on the issue of
actual exposure of children to parental nudity. It does, nevertheless, present a powerful claim for
the universality of parent-child cosleeping or room sharing (e.g., Barry and Paxton, 1971;
Caudill and Plath, 1966; Gardner, 1975; Lozoff et al., 1998; Morelli et al., 1992;
It may tentatively be
inferred that under such conditions large numbers of the world's inhabitants of children
are exposed to parental nudity. Lastly, a third group of writers stress the value of

the context in which youth exposure to nudity happens, insisting that results are
mediated by such contextual variables as gender, age of child, family climate, cultural
beliefs, and so on (Okami, 1995; Okami et al., 1997).
Exposure to Scenes of Parental Sexuality (Primal Scenes)
Freud and his followers chose the term "primal scenes" to refer to visual or auditory
exposure of children to parental intercourse, and subsequent dream elaborations on the
Occasion (Dahl, 1982). Despite the identification of such vulnerability by psychoanalysts and
others as uniquely dangerous to the mental health of kids, there are, once again, short
empirical data bearing on effects of primal scene exposure. We could locate just one
Preponderance study (Rosenfeld et al., 1980) and two studies of first result and

subsequent adult functioning (Hoyt, 1978, 1979). Naturally, amounts of case studies
exist, including a very rich psychoanalytic literature describing putative effects of
exposure to primal pictures. https://s3.amazonaws.com/naturist2020/blondes-on-a-beach.html have explained the traumatagenic issues by
referring to "a) the erotically charged character of the exposure, resulting in undischarged
libidinal energy and concomitant anxiety; b) the sadomasochistic content of fantasy
misinterpretation of the event; and c) the exacerbation of oedipal want and resultant
castration anxiety or other fears of retaliation" (Okami, 1995, p. 56).
Again, however, the few efforts to validate these ideas empirically do not support
predictions of damage.

Hoyt (1978, 1979) queried college students about their youth exposure to scenes of
parental sexuality. https://s3.amazonaws.com/naturist2020/granny-beach-sex.html found that although these students reported that their exposure had
resulted in mostly negative emotional responses at the time, the open group didn't

Remembered exposure mostly at prepubescent and pubertal ages.
4 and 6, it really is conceivable that subjects in Hoyt's investigations weren't reporting their
first actual exposure to scenes of parental sexuality. So, findings of exposure at
peripubertal ages are of limited value in evaluating outcome of exposure to primal scenes
generally, because with a few exceptions, primal scenes are defined in the
literature as events of early childhood. That is, results like "castration anxiety" and
"Oedipal desires" are said to be of most essential importance in the lives of quite young
Kids.
The Present Study
Despite the lack of empirical support, psychoanalytic and family systems theorists
continue to stress the potential for harm in exposure to parental nudity and primal scenes.
Consequently, longitudinal outcome data are important in starting to solve this question.
