It’s just a penis!

Stuff reports:

An uncomfortable incident in a pool changing shed has sparked about how appropriate it is for adults to strip naked in front of children.

Engineer Shabbir Ahmed was at the Lido Aquatic Centre in in February when he saw a child become distressed on seeing a completely naked man in the open changing area. 

“The father of the kid put a towel over his face and said ‘don't look over there',” Ahmed said.

“It does not leave a positive impact on a child's brain.”

Ahmed said the centre had private changing rooms that adults should use to avoid placing children in potentially vulnerable situations.

Oh Good can we stop being so precious.

In changing rooms, people are naked. If you have a phobia over seeing penises, then you can go use the private changing rooms. Incidentally a kid who gets distressed seeing a naked man, may have body image issues growing up.

I go swimming a fair bit and changing rooms are always full of adults and kids. Sometimes dads even have their young with them (as they can't go into the 's changing rooms).

All that is needed is common sense. Look after your kids, and understand the difference between appropriate (in a changing room) and inappropriate (on a bus).
