Being naked around your brother?

ok me and my brother share a room and ill be changing and he'll walk in..what should I do? kick him out? turn my back? or just let him be in his room. I mean hes my brother is it really a big deal? hes a year younger than me and hes always been like my...

bestfriend..I just wonder if this is something where I should drwa the line and kick him out of our room so I can change..

and you ask this question in the nutrition and fitness section... Why?

tell him to get out

ya hes your bro but hes still a guy

I kinda had the same prob my dad had his
closet in my room

and he would just walk in and I would be changing
it was embarrissing I thought
so he moved his closet in his room
ya

Look I am 33 and my family had no shame in walking around in the skives. Not flat out naked, but it is still not a big deal, I would say the comfort level is up to you. You need to make the call and you need to respect eachother's space in the one bedroom. Maybe lock the door or go to the bathroom to change.

well how old are you??

Either not in the room or a curtain/partition where you have privacy.

Just as he walks in, tell him to get out for a second while you change. Its weird having a younger brother seeing his older sister naked..bleh.

I would never want either of my brothers to see me naked, I even cover myself if my mom walks in the bathroom or something... the only guy who should see you naked is your boyfriend/husband...so I would tell him to get out, and do what that other person said about a curtain or something so even if he does walk in he doesn't see anything...

I would warn him before changing, so he knows not to just barge in. If it makes you uncomfortable, there is no reason why you should have to put up with it. You should also try to get your parents to give you your own room, because sharing a room with the opposite gender past a certain age really is illegal in many states.

I really don't think it's appropriate for you two to be sharing a room at your age.

Tell him to leave for a few minutes. It's not like you're kicking him out for good. And yes, it is a big deal. I know a lot about the phyche and he could develope some issues by seeing his sister naked. With her allowing it, anyway. If you allow it, then 1: He'll think it's fine to look at your sister naked. 2: He could develope sexual feelings towards you.
And I don't think you want that at all. So, yeah, just tell him to leave for a few minutes.

Well, I don't know, the comfort level really if up to u, but if it bugs you THAT much, thrn why not let your parents know? That way, you can either get your own room, a curtain, or something. Or, the best alteratives would be to either go to a different room to change, warn him beforehand, or kick him out for a few minutes.

@ bonita94
About those 2 points towards the end of your post...0_o;; omg...has that ever happened to anyone you know? (btw, I'm NOT trying to argue...just...curious...0_o)

The very first answer to your question is itself a question...Why did you not close the door or did it in another place like bathroom?

And anyway if it happened, It's normal if not OK.

And always bear in your mind that nudity sexuality are two other things. The incident you faced is as normal as untill any of you gets some sexual thoughts for other.

uh lock the door when you get dressed or dress in the bathroom, its what I do

lock the door, ask for a new room, or just changing in the bathroom thats what I do

you have to tell him to stay out when you are changing.

do wateva feels best 4 you if you dont mind him seeing you naked let him but if not get changed in the bathroom. I dont have a brother so I dont know how it feels

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE HAVING SEX WITH EACH OTHER. MAYBE YOU SHOULD EVEN HELP EDUCATE EACH OTHER.

well... its up to you... I guess you should see how he feels about it. if it makes you uncomfortable... then it is totally inapprorpraite for him to just walk in. but how does he react? does he argue when you ask him to leave for a second? or is he ok with it? maybe there is another room in the house you could move into? like the basement if it is finished or something?

Also, depending on where you're from it's probably illegal for you to share a room, when the older sibling turns 10 in England they are no longer allowed to share a room (obviously only if it's a boy and a girl) so you may actually be breaking the law by sharing a room with him, sorry :-S

I was changing in my room and my brother is grounded so he cant watch tv in his room .So he comes in to watch tv and im naked .I yell at him to get out and he just stands their in the doorway and then he go and tells my mom im being a jerk and I tell her what happend and she calls me a jerk too. do use that to answer your problems!

It sounds like you're more worried about what other people think than about your brother seeing you naked. How do you feel about seeing your brother naked? Obviously your parents aren't concerned about it or they wouldn't let the two of you sleep in the same room. If it bothered your brother to see you naked he'd leave on his own. I'd say he is curious about the female body and wants to see yours to satisfy his curiosity. I had a similar situation with my older sister and she we even examined and touched each others parts. It's quite common for brother and sisters to do this sort of thing and doesn't do any permanant harm as long as both are willing. It's just natural quriosity. Kids grow out of that stage and your brother will too.
