Absolutely. What we consider scolding can be really traumatic- this kid is having a total stranger raise her voice at him for just acting on his (or her!) natural curiosity.

By the same token, the nudist bath house/sauna I go to over the summer is very liberal that way... Kids certainly get an eyeful but after a while it loses a lot of its novelty after parents say "Well, that's what people look like without clothes on... we all look basically the same..."

And what actually really gets me is how open and understanding people can be. Year before last there was a girl there with a foot and a half spiked mohawk (pink, she was cute ) going to the nude sauna, had lots and lots of pierces- more than I do- and had a little boy, maybe 5 or 6 ask her about them. She was very straightforward and honest, not shy or taken aback. His mom was *mortified* that he asked, but very relieved at Mohawk's response.
