Aunty made me sleep naked among my cousin sisters

[Tinkusen]

My father was the youngest among his siblings, which naturally made me the youngest of all my cousins. Although I was an only child, between my three paternal aunts and two uncles, I had five elder female cousins and four elder male cousins. The age gap between them and me was quite vast.

This incident took place when I was 9 years old, while my cousins ranged in age from 16 to 26. I went to stay at my eldest aunt’s house for 15 to 20 days for my eldest cousin brother's wedding. Relatives from all the other branches of the family and all my cousins had gathered there as well. I was the youngest of the lot, while the groom was 26, and his new bride was around 23.

At that time, I only undressed completely in front of my parents at home, never around anyone else. Since my aunt's house was in a different city, I was particularly cautious about ensuring my aunts wouldn't strip me down like my parents did, treating me like a toddler. Being exposed in front of my older cousins would have been deeply embarrassing, as I had developed a sense of modesty by the age of 9.

On the very first day, when it was time to bathe, my aunt said, "Why do you need to use the bathroom? There are so many people here and only two bathrooms in the house. Go bathe outside at the open tap behind the house." However, ignoring her advice, I showered in the bathroom instead. I should mention that I was terrified of shampooing back then, fearing it would get into my eyes and burn. Many people in the family knew about this.

That night, all of us cousins were arranged to sleep together on a large bed in one room, as every room was packed with relatives. We all fell asleep on the same bed. I was just a child, while my brothers and sisters were much older. It was summer, and the power went out around midnight—power outages were very frequent back then, day and night. Being a child, I was a deep sleeper and didn't wake up, but my shorts and undershirt became completely drenched in sweat.

My eldest aunt walked into the room and saw me sleeping in soaked clothes. Concerned that staying in damp clothes might make me sick, she lifted my arms while I was asleep, removed my shirt, and then pulled off my shorts, leaving me completely unclothed. I felt a slight sensation in my sleep, but I drifted right back off, forgetting that I wasn't at home and was lying among all my cousins. Seeing me as just a little kid, my aunt didn't put another pair of shorts on me and left me as I was, likely assuming I might just soak a fresh pair too.

The next morning, I woke up last because I was the youngest. I realized I was lying on the bed without a single thread on my body. Sitting in a circle around me were my cousins, having their breakfast. Seeing me wake up, my elder female cousins burst out laughing, their eyes fixed on my bare state. I felt overwhelmed with embarrassment; in front of them, I felt like an even smaller child.

Giggling, my elder sisters teased, "Look at our little bare baby! Did you sleep well last night? Come on, don't be shy now! There's nothing left to hide. We woke up way before you, so we've already seen everything."

Hearing this filled me with shame—all my brothers and sisters had seen me like that. I quickly scrambled off the bed and ran through the house full of people into my eldest aunt's room. Laughing, my aunt said, "Oh, you're just a little child, what is there to be so embarrassed about? You aren't big enough yet for modesty." She then handed me a fresh, dry set of clothes to put on.

However, from that day on, my aunt stopped letting me use the bathroom to bathe. She said, "You don't wash yourself properly alone, and your mother mentioned you're afraid of shampoo." She began undressing me down to nothing in front of everyone in the open courtyard to wash me with soap and shampoo, right in front of my elder sisters, the house maid, and my other aunts.

She also began stripping me down every night before sending me to bed, claiming I would soak my clothes in sweat otherwise due to the frequent summer power cuts. At times, she would tell my elder sisters, "Undress your little brother and put him to bed." My sisters would laughingly do so while teasing me, saying, "You still get undressed in front of your big sisters—when are you ever going to grow up?"

Eventually, my parents arrived for the wedding ceremonies. They were very busy, so they left after just four days, while I stayed behind for another seven days. After the wedding, my new sister-in-law arrived at the house. I was a bit worried that even as a new sister-in-law, she might see me like that too—such were the struggles of being the youngest. It was one thing in front of my aunts, but far more embarrassing in front of my elder sisters and new relatives.

Sure enough, on her very first day, the new bride caught sight of my aunt bathing me completely unclothed in the open courtyard. She found it hilarious. My aunt even asked the new bride to take charge of me around the house. For the remaining seven days, my new sister-in-law would strip me down every night before sending me to sleep, laughing the whole time.

She kept my clothes in her room, so every morning when I woke up, I had to go to her room to ask for my shorts. She would laugh and tease me instead of handing them over right away like my aunt did. She'd tease, "Why are you making such a fuss about shorts when I've already seen everything? Is there anything left to hide? It's so hot anyway, you should just stay like this around the house!" She would giggle, and I'd genuinely worry she might actually make me do it.

She also took plenty of photos of me with her camera, gushing about how cute I looked, before finally handing over my shorts after I begged for a long time. Whenever I tried to voice an opinion on anything, she would dismiss it, saying, "Look who's offering opinions now—such a little boy! I'm the one who strips you for bed every night, and you need help bathing because you're scared of shampoo. Yet you talk so big. Go on, do as you're told."

If she caught me misbehaving, she would even spank me. She would strip off my clothes, lay me across her lap, and strike my bare bottom with her hand until it turned red. Afterward, I had to stand before her unclothed to apologize, and only then would she decide when to give my shorts back to me.

That was my experience at that wedding house.

Yeah, even at the age of 9 that would be mighty embarrassing being expected to run around naked in front of myriad older relatives. And then the new bride gets into the act!
