unprudish
Open about bodies
Unprudish describes someone who isn't easily shocked or offended by matters of sex, nudity, or bodily functions—the opposite of a prude.
An unprudish attitude accepts frank discussion of topics others might find embarrassing: She was refreshingly unprudish about the whole thing.
The word often carries approval, suggesting openness rather than squeamishness.
