Well yes, I'd think most do which is why I specifically mentioned it.

For those who don't...meh. Not that big a deal really is it?

Why?

After a certain age we remained comfortable with each other's bodies but preferred not to see them. If my sons had health issues with their bodies, they knew Mom was going to "inspect". No biggee. Now put it away.
As a fellow american I just want to chime in and say I don't find their openness bizarre in the slightest.

No, it's not okay. Once a child gets to a certain age (about 6/7), they start to recognize differences of gender and they WILL remember seeing their parents naked as they get older. It's not something that most kids really want to have in their memory bank.

My parents never walked around naked around me (although I do remember my mom getting out of the shower a few times and running to her bedroom nude). My father NEVER once flashed his bits around me, not even for a second. And I'm really glad he didn't.

Have some self-respect and respect for their future selves and cover up. It's not like you couldn't throw a towel or SOMETHING on. I lived with my father until I was a teen and never saw him nude. Not even at the beach. Not while he was peeing outside. Nowhere. There's NO excuse not to cover up the bits around your kids.

My children are all grown, in their 20s. There was no awkwardness when they were in puberty with anyone being naked. Most kids naturally become more modest over time but when you realize that a naked body is NOT inherently sexual, than there is no longer an inherent sexual response. We only have that sexual response in this culture because we have been conditioned to do so.

I have seen my parents naked, I am not scarred by it. My grown kids have seen us naked, they are not scarred by it. Do you know why? Because it isn't a big deal if you were raised to understand that a body is just a body and its parts are not shameful or only sexual. Breasts are for feeding children, it is why they have evolved. If they are an enjoyable part of your foreplay repertoire so be it, but so are many other erogenous zones that we have not been conditioned to think they should be covered at all times. My kids say mine and many of their other relatives breasts as part of feeding children. They saw as be naked in an authentic way, changing clothes, going from the bathroom to the bedrooms, and so on. All of these are all natural non-sexual situations in which people are naked. And that is ok.

I am sure there are many other issues at play here.
