I may be a little late in my reply, but this reminded me of both my youth, and of TFs in my past.

When I was an adolescent, being seen naked and seeing other boys naked was kind of a rite of passage. It was a bonding thing, and in no way gay or sexual. My friends and I often found excuses to get naked in front of each other. For instance, if I was at a friend's house, he might decide he needed to change his clothes (including his underwear) while I was in his room with him, or he might decide to take a shower and tell me to come in the bathroom with him so we can talk while he showers. I would do the same thing sometimes. This wasn't just with one friend, but was how many of us interacted. It was kind of like saying that we were proud to be boys and not ashamed of our maleness.

I noticed my YFs doing the same thing. They would find excuses to get naked while I was around and sometimes would try to see me naked. I didn't think anything about it and never really cared if they "just had to pee and couldn't hold it" while I was in the shower, lol. It's just a boy thing and not meant to be a come on or anything.

As a BLer, I think the important thing is for us not to initiate any nudity, but also not make a big deal out of it if they do. In other words, don't go walking around the house naked, but if he walks in on you when you are dressing or showering, I don't see that being a problem. Same with him being naked. Offer him his privacy, but if he just starts undressing while you are in room, it means he is ok with you being there.

The way I handled it was that I would change out of his sight in my room, but left the door open. If he came in, I didn't care, but I didn't make a show out of undressing in front of him. Same with showering. I would always have a towel around me when I walked between the bedroom and bathroom, but sometimes he found a reason to be around when I was dropping the towel to put my clothes on. Again, no big deal. Don't get the impression this happened a lot, it was only an occasional thing. But I think it's important not to overeact when it does happen.

As for his privacy, I never walked in on him. If I went to his house and he said he had to change his clothes or take a shower, I didn't follow him back to his room, I stayed in the livingroom. But if I was already in the room and he just started changing, I didn't leave the room unless he asked me to, and he never asked. I must admit this wasn't totally comfortable for me. I had to keep myself from staring, and yet not make a big show of looking the other way like I was some prude.

Anyway, I just wanted to assure you this is a normal thing and he wasn't going "gay" on you.
