Now I’m taking care of my aged stepmother, so I have to throw the threads on just to be civil. ::sigh!:: ---

Um, no… not really. Although I will say that I’d lounge around in a nightgown… I’d be afraid of the towel falling off. (even though I live alone and all) Don’t know about a bathrobe, as I don’t think I’ve ever had one of those. F\_X ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Flamsterette\_X \* > **Don’t know about a bathrobe, as I don’t think I’ve ever had one of those.** Y’know, that’s a good point. DO bathrobes count? 'Cause I almost never wear a towel, but I often spend hours in just my robe. ---

Um, no, I’ve never gone around butt-naked for 2 hours. Well, maybe once, but those were under different circumstances \ and long ago. I will get into a pair of cute cottons and a tank top, or my silk knee-length nightgown from VS. No robe for me. ---

Nope, I’ve got to at least have on my undies. I very much dislike bounciness-- it’s distracting (how does jinwicked concentrate whilst managing flying boobage?). And I never did understand why some people go around nekkid in hot weather. I mean, there’s a terrible tendency to stick to things when you do that! ---

Ya know…I read in a magazine a little while ago (Cosmo, I think, for the record) that if you usually sleep in pajamas, or clothed in some way, that if you sleep naked you’ll be really likely to have a sex dream. Just thought I’d share…it entertained me (of course, I’m far too much of a wuss to sleep naked…I always kick off my covers and…while my door is closed and no one goes in my room, it’s still weird, lol). So yea, noe I leave everyone to wonder…what are all of you dreaming about? 😉 \*\*Jamie ---

Right now, as a matter of fact (the relative anonymity of the internet. Isn’t it a wonderful thing?) It’s inertia. If I’m wearing clothes, I’ll likely continue wearing those clothes until/unless there’s a reason to not wear those particular clothes. (except skirts. I only wear them when it’s necessary - and they come off as soon as I come in the door.) Similarly, if I’m not wearing clothes, I’ll likely continue not wearing clothes until/unless there is a reason to put some on. (except socks. my feet are always cold.) But I also live alone, so who’s to care? ---

I usually get out of the shower, wrap a towel around myself, and walk straight to the computer. If I sit here for more than 10 minutes the towel invariably falls off due to my inability to sit still and then I’m naked until I **need** to put clothes on. I only sleep with clothes on out of habit and I suspect that as I get older I’ll be sleeping naked more and more often. ---

Another fan of nakedness. Or semi-nakedness… with a D cup, the bra stays on. But nakedness only when there’s no one else around, or just in my room. ---

Ya know Jin, it’s just cruel to say that you draw naked, then have on your site that you sometimes have your webcam on while you draw…then not have it updated for 3 weeks…😉 On the Op though, I am very rarely totally naked…just something about having my stuff flopping around that bugs me. Usually I am in not much more than a pair of boxers though. And I have been known to surf naked occasionally. Just not often. ---

Living with a flatmate, no, not often. Living with irishfella or on my own, all the time. Sleep naked all the time. I don’t really like clothes and much prefer wraps, gowns and robes, it’s generally a bit too cold for real nudity. My grandmother tried her hardest to drum into me that only loose women wore robes after noon…didn’t stick…or maybe it did… ---

I lounge about in my towel or bathrobe for _hours_ after I get out of the shower. Usually I get dressed sometime before dinner, though. And if it wasn’t for other people in the house, I would definitely let it all hang out.
