Introduction
E1 study of infantile sexuality is like a trip through the California desert. Large expanses of nothing, interrupted by brief flurry of activity and interesting sights. Alayne Yates (1979) cites the sparse and confusing history of the study, by scholars, the general subject of infantile sexuality, and specifically, the lack of concise reference materials for parents and educators. In the United States, as in most other anglophone countries, research of this nature have historically been seen to be unnecessary (the mildest reaction), intrusive (a common belief among educators: children's sexuality is viewed only in the area of parent), or malignant (especially among individuals and groups that subscribe to certain religious codes and dogma). The impediments to research present a special problem for families and groups who do not share the views most prevalent with regard to sexuality in general, and nudity / modesty in particular. Smith and Sparks (1986) give numerous examples of families who are nudists, either "in society", or "at home'', which usually hide that aspect of their lives for fear that others will discover and no approval. They fear the lack of approval because they have a research base of experts well-developed to support their belief that the body is a normal and healthy entity, and non-sexual nudity is not harmful to children (and in fact is beneficial) . Nudists are generally classified as follows: "nudists in society," participating in leisure activities and lifestyles naked in the company of others, such as beaches, clubs, or other meetings, "at home nudists''may not participate in activities group, but not usually dresses at home when not required by circunstaneias, like to sleep, relax in the garden, or simply when they are alone in EASA.

Current Research
Fortunately for nudist families, researchers have been interested in the topic of nudity and development of children. Alas, few others have chosen to reproduce their research, possibly for the reasons mentioned above (Yates, 1978). Below are four summaries of recent and relevant studies.

Parental attitudes
Aquilino and Ely (1985) studied the attitudes of parents toward the normal sexual development of preschool children. We surveyed eighty-a parent with children between three and five years on the sexual activity and curiosity of children. The interviewees were parents whose children attended day care centers in North Carolina cities. We used a questionnaire designed by the author, containing questions relating to parental knowledge, responses to the sexuality of children, and comfort with sexuality of children. Respondents also provided information on their age, sex, marital status, affiliation re1igiosa, and education, as they felt these factors as possible influences on the outcome of the responses. After filling out the questionnaires on an individual basis, respondents were asked to participate in question-answer sessions in groups and / or individually. The authors did not determine whether any of the subjects were nudists, and it is doubtful that they considered this as a potential influence on responses, since it did not include it.

Influence of children in adult adaptation
The next study also surveyed adult subjects. Lewis and Janda (1988) examined the relationship between adult sexual adjustment and exposure to nudity in childhood, sleeping in the bed of the parents, and parental attitudes toward sexuality. Were recruited as subjects ungraded hundred university students, less than twenty years. All subjects completed an extensive questionnaire and retrospective, measuring three basic experiences during childhood (operationally defined as the period from birth to eleven years): sleeping in bed with parents, attitudes and comfort of parents about sexuality, and to see parents, siblings, and friends naked. Information about the comfort and sexual adjustment was also obtained using an extensive questionnaire.
