panther's lair

i don't want it around me, and that pretty much sums it up. well, there are a few exceptions- but by and large, i i want the lower body covered. on everyone. be topless for all i care- but for god sakes man cover your butt and winky or female parts.

this all comes about (again) because i read to the boy tonight before bed- and he (as he often is) was naked. i don't want him growing up with body issues (like i clearly have), but i also get really creeped out when reading his bed time story to him and he is butt freaking naked. i asked him tonight what he was sleeping in (in my head thinking, please god say shorts or pants...) but he said he wanted to sleep with his weiner and butt out. ok...not a big deal- but i did tell him i wanted to cover him up while i was reading because that was the polite thing to do. started out fine, but i wasn't long at all before the cover is gone and the winky is exposed. i just kept reading, because again- it is my issue, not his...but it really really makes me uncomfortable and i can't seem to shake it. i can't even fully grasp why it bothers me like it does...i try to be so liberal. i try to be so open about things- but i have a few BIG hangups that i have a hard time getting past.
