Well its not considered the worst thing ever, but we all strive for modesty. The women (me , my sister and my mom) are all pretty damn casual especially around each other, but the men (my dad and brother) are prudes. My niece, on the other hand, likes to run around naked. Ah, the privileges of being three years old.
Yes, but most of the other beings in my household are still too large to get sucked in or anything, so it’s safe, I think. 
Hell, I don’t even undress in front of my cats.
Next summer, take a trip over to Sandy Hook and get naked with all the other folks. Trust me on this - you won’t be the most unattractive or most out-of-shape one there. I’ll be wearing a UVa ball cap and #4 sunblock. Stop by and say “hello.”
I often go around the house naked, but I sleep in the nude, so that’s often in the context of anticipating going to bed soon. Similarly I might start the day nude and stay that way for an hour or two. My wife’s not too keen on it, so I don’t do it as much as I like, but she seems to be coming around.
But it’s an odd thing about nudity: Once you get your natal family involved, or other generations involved, it’s much harder for most people and I know I couldn’t do it. For instance, I certainly couldn’t do it while my stepdaughter is visiting us, 'cause then I’d be the skeevy stepfather by definition. Ditto around my parents or brother, since we weren’t raised that way.
Around my parents or brother, clothes please. Well, I sleep in a t-shirt on occasion when I stay there, but that’s about it for lack of clothing. Round the people I live with, meh. I’ll change in from of my roommate and her boy friend and not think anything of it. Everyone is at about that comfort level, with the exception of her boyfriend, who went into the bathroom to change his shirt. He’s coming around though. It’s kind of amusing, the only time we ever shut any of our dorms is to get into the wardrobes. My is placed so that with it open the door needs to be shut and vise versa.
I don’t mind if female relatives see me (within reason, anyway, if I’m getting dressed or something) but not the men. I also don’t mind changing in front of women in general, like at a gym or something. Men (with the exception of my boyfriend or a doctor)…no. Especially not relatives. Eeeek!
I don’t leave doors open during showers because I get cold if I do, not for modesty reasons. I have absolutely no problem being naked in front of the dogs, seeing as they have no problem being naked in front of me.
A year out of college, I had two roommates, a guy and a girl. They were a “couple.” I had introduced them. One night I went grocery shopping with the girl, while the guy stayed home. When I came back an hour later, he was in my room (They shared one bedroom, I had the other), naked, bong in hand, watching a James Bond movie on my TV. He was totally nonchalant, like this was the most natural thing in the world for him to be doing.
I laid down some ground rules quickly: “Get off my bed, put some clothes on, and keep that bong out of my room.”
Hey, it’s how I was raised.
Very much so.
Except for the times I was changed as an infant, a handful of unfortunate accidents where a parent walked in on me, one or two doctor’s visits, and once, about four months ago, when I was really, really drunk and stupid, no one other than my pets has seen me naked and I like it that way.
If or when I ever manage to trick some girl into more intimate relations, I hope I can manage to convince her to wear a blindfold.
I guess it really depends on the people then. Like I said, growing up, it was no big deal and I walk around my house naked almost every day. I had three female roommates in college and they didn’t really go out of their way to be modest. All of my male roomates had sex in front of me and I did the same. It is really just a matter of convienence for me and realizing that they have seen it before and you have seen it before so its really no big deal.
I do not like people, of whatever relation they are to me, seeing me naked, or even partially clothed. I sleep in pajamas and always will. Yes, it’s just a body, but it’s my body, and this is my comfort level. When I am with a lover, however, my commitment to clothing is minimal at best. Family members aren’t seeing me naked except by accident.
I have no desire to see either of my parents naked. My father doesn’t care who he sees nekkid - not in a “hell, bring it on” way but in a “Oh, okay. Pass me that comic book?” way. My mother … I doubt she would look more time’n it took her to look away if she saw me naked.
My sisters and I … yes, I care. Quite frankly I think they’d shriek if they saw me nude. Brother would probably suggest (not strongly, but not quietly) some clothes.
I grew up in a conservative, catholic family, but I always had my own mind. I learned at an early age (yes, THAT early!), independently, that nakedness is no big thing. Then I realized that anyone who got uptight about being seen naked, well, they were the sickos, not me!
I don’t walk around town naked or anything, but as far as family is concerned, we cover for comfort, not modesty.
One exception is my 11-year old son, who constantly tells me to put on some clothes. He’s wierd. And he’s hung up; he’s uncircumcized (oops, was that a breach of confidentiality?) and I am. Maybe that bothers him, I don’t know.
If missionaries come to the door and I’m in underwear, I invite them in. They usually don’t seem to let it bother them.
Mom & Dad on my side are dead, but they were modest. My SO’s parents are ultra-modest. My siblings are all nudists.
Go figger.
Given as it’s just me since the hamster passed away(perhaps thats what did it) I leap about the flat naked all the time. Since the neighbours have to climb a 20 ft wall and bounce across the rooftops to see into my windows then I think I’m pretty safe. I’m in a nudist club too. Feels so much better swimming with nothing on. It’s much easier once you’ve got across the whole ‘I’m having a conversation with you and you’re naked’ bit.It’s still odd if you see any of the swimmers round town clothed.
Mind you this is Totnes. Half the population wanders round the town naked and no-one would care. They’d all be stoned or practicing magic rituals…
Hey…you there…the naked one. Stop! I need a sacrificial virgin. Will you do?
:eek:
What? It can’t be that shocking.
I consider myself a freelance nudist. I have nothing to hide. 
I’m comfotable being naked around pretty much all other women, which obviously includes my female relatives.
Male relatives, nuh-uh. I don’t mind being naked around male friends in an appropriate context, but the thought of my dad or brother seeing me in the nude creeps me out.
i wouldn’t, I stoped when I was 7… My parents are doing it now, ( my mom has been doing it long before I was born ) but it’s just to uncomfortable
This. It’s almost constant, every time I see my dad. :rolleyes:
But I just can’t be naked in front of my family. They’d freak. My aunts are a little bit more comfortable, but even they wouldn’t like casual nudity. Changing is one thing.
I grew up in a strict conservative home. Saw my brother and Dad nude every once in a while, never my mom. Living in a one bathroom house had it’s challenges for her, no so much for the guys. Once we were older she’d make snide comments about us covering up. Growing up it was just under stood you weren’t nude in my parents house. All though I never realized my parents would sleep nude, till years later after being married myself. I have a 7 year old daughter and an 11 year old son. My son is somewhat modest, my daughter doesn’t care who sees her in what as far as our immediate family. My wife grew up in a household where her family would walk around the house in underwear. She walks around in her underwear now, in front of our kids. I have in the last 3 years just stopped wearing clothes, or if I’m asked to will wear loose gym shorts. My Mil, knows my penance for nudity. She has a key to my house, and every once in a while will come over to eat lunch. I asked her on numerous occasions to at least call, so that I don’t embarrass her. She came in once, and I was standing at the fridge in all my glory, she looked me up and down, said, hmmm, must not be too cold in the house, and proceeded to sit down to lunch. I have asked her if I could go nude at her pool, when it was just my little family, she says she doesn’t mind, but will announce that I’m going nude swimming to anybody at the house, which use to include sil and bil, which we have seen each other naked, from all the naked swimming we did. I’ve seen my mil nude once, and that was by pure accident. I was going to her bedroom to change to go out to the pool, since whol family was there. I thought everybody was outside, she had walked in from outside, to change into her bathing suit from her door in her bathroom that goes out to her " morning coffee deck" which she enjoys coffee in the nude, early in the mornings, I’m told. All I could get out was " well damn" she proceed to casually to put her bathing suit on with a slight smirk. Years later when my bil and sil were divorced, my little family was swimming in her pool, I opting to not wear shorts. Wife told mil, I didn’t have shorts on, she said she didn’t care, when I tried to have a conversation with me hugging a pool float, she acted all awkward. It really depends on her mood and what day it is for her on how she feels about nudity. She does walk around in her underwear when we go on vacation and it’s just my little family. So no it wouldn’t matter to me if my mil sees me nude. FiL has since passed 14 years ago.
