OFs star Molly Manning, who relocated from Australia to Los Angeles to pursue her adult content career, recently made headlines by sharing details about her relationship with her son.
She has now spoken to IGV to address the viral controversy and clear up any misunderstandings.
Manning moved to the United States to start a new life for herself and her son, where they now live together in a modest home.
As an adult entertainer, she aims to foster self-confidence in her child and teach him that “your own body is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about.” Her philosophy centers on embracing body positivity and removing the stigma around nudity.
In a conversation with IGV, Manning shared her perspective on nudity within her household, especially when it comes to her teenage son.
“I think the whole issue has been exaggerated,” she said. “To be clear, I’m not a nudist. I don’t cook, eat, or watch TV naked. I don’t mostly walk around the house without clothes.”
She added that moments of nudity tend to happen naturally and unexpectedly, like “those rare occasions when I’m running to the fridge or stepping out of the shower, and my son accidentally walks in.”
According to Manning, her son seems comfortable with the family’s approach to nudity.
She recounted a recent interaction: “The other day, I said something to him like, ‘Hey, I just have shorts on and no top. How about some privacy?’ And he was just like, ‘I don’t care.’”
The adult star believes this openness has positively impacted their relationship.
“I’m incredibly close with my son. We have a very good relationship. He can be open, honest, and truthful with me,” she added.
While Manning is comfortable with occasional nudity, she clarified that there are limits.
“I wouldn’t be strolling out into the living room with my son on the sofa, completely naked, trying to have a conversation. That wouldn’t happen,” the adult star explained.
She added that her teenage son doesn’t go naked around the house, adding he’s ‘a self-conscious teenager.’
Despite criticism, Manning remains confident in her approach and isn’t affected by others’ opinions.
She explained: “My response is that I’m not doing anything wrong.”
Regarding concerns about potential impacts on her son’s development, Manning is firm in her belief that there are no negative effects.
“If it did, I wouldn’t do this,” the adult star added.
For parents considering a similar approach, Manning suggests starting early.
“I believe this approach should be taken from birth, when children are very young. Then, it’s not seen as strange or unusual,” she advised.
“I think children should be able to see what a naked female and male look like, especially their parents. This helps them understand that there’s nothing wrong with them.”
