We can’t run around the house naked because of the kids. We sleep in the nude though and we get naked together as often as we can… usually when the kids lay down for their naps!
I hate sleeping with clothes on. As soon as I hit the bedroom, they fly off my body. I like lounging around my bedroom naked.
I used to lounge around the house naked, but since I’ve got kids now, I confine it to my bedroom.
I don’t generally wander around my house naked, but I have done it before. My standard clothing at home is just a t-shirt and undies. I do sleep naked (or with undies); I like the way the sheets feel against my skin.
Heh. As much as I enjoy being naked at home, I really feel no desire to be naked in front of a bunch of other people. Sometimes when I pass a mirror I scare myself. I don’t want to frighten my friends.
Michi,
Let me be the first to offer assistance in helping you overcome this little phobia you have about being “naked in front of a bunch of other people…”
Are there any other altruistic dopers out there who would like to help in assembling a group to help out Michi?
August in Phoenix means I spend a lot of time in the nood. Never saw the point in clothes in a warm enviroment, but I’m aware that not everyone wants to see my aging getting-flabby ass in the local Safeway so I try not to offend the neighbors.
Drawback to sleeping naked - I was living in the San Fernando Valley during the Northridge earthquake, and was actually more worried about finding something to throw on in a hurry than I was about the ceiling falling on my head. Now I keep a robe at close at hand.
Off the subject: Also had the much-feared experience of being in the jakes at work with my unders around my ankles when one of the big aftershocks hit a couple days later. my boss threw open the bathroom door in a panic, screaming at me to get in the doorway. Maybe not the most embarrassing moment of my life, but certainly in the top ten
poohpah chalupa, i’m willing to help Michi with you. i’m sure there will be more volunteers shortly.
I’m spending more time than usual naked lately, mostly due to the unbelievable heat last week, although it is somewhat more temperate today.
I didn’t used to like taking off my clothes even to go swimming (picture a tubby little kid in long swim trunks and a t-shirt), but I’m getting a little more comfortable with my body now. I was recently defeated in two rounds of strip I Have Never, which was fun, and good for the ego. Next step: a Wiccan fest.
Yep, I do.
We was borned naked wasn’t we…
So, therfor nothing to be ashamed of,
well not for me anyway.
(Also posted by Michi in the crush thread):
I’ll never read another e-mail from you quite the same way again. :eek:
And then, there’s this thread:

…where you explain to Iampunha the deal with “Portnoy’s Complaint”.
Great, now I’m getting a visual of an exceedingly attractive vixen sitting, naked, in front of her computer, explaining to a 19 year old kid (no offense, Iampunha) via IM, the details of deviant sexual practices.
And the worst part is, it ** still ** makes me hot.
Another Doper that likes being nekkid checking in. My BF and I wander around the house nekkid when my roomie isn’t around. I’m sure once I have my own apt I will spend the majority of my time with no clothes on.
I am not really into public nekkidness though. I tend to confine that to house. Unless it’s the middle of the night and raining, but that’s another story.
I hate having to wear clothing - I consider it a necessary evil. When my daughter is invited to sleep over with a friend, hubby and I get comfy. At most, I’ll sport an oversized T-shirt against the somewhat rough upholstery. I’d probably not participate in public nudity, tho - stretchmarks and gravity and surgical scars - not a pretty sight. But my sweetie luvs me, so I don’t lose sleep over it.
Yup, I like being naked alone, I love being naked in co-ed situations. Now, since college my opportunity for this has slipped, which is too bad. I used to sleep nude all the time, now its only when I make a concious effort to do it, I rarely can lounge naked anymore before midnight. Being naked is fun, and it motivates me to get that six-pack back. Now, when we sign up for that Dopefest at Hedonism…I’m so in!
Michi…wink wink
I think the world would be a much better place if we were all nude. Imagine all those billboards with the scantily-clad women trying to sell you everything from beer to automobiles. They just wouldn’t have any power anymore. You already know what’s underneath those shreds of cloth. There’s no mystery there. There’s no intrigue. Show me a picture of the damn car!
Okay, don’t know where that came from, but seriously I’d love it if we were all nude. I know seeing everybody else with out clothes would make me feel better about my body. (And isn’t that part of the whole naturist thing?)
BTW, if one was to become a naturist, where could they find fellow naturists in their twenties? I’ve looked into naturism (as has Ruffian, who has expressed mild interest in the idea), but it seems like the majority of naturists out there are a good 30 to 40 years older than we are. I’m not agaist older people per se, but it’d just be nice to hang (sorry) with people of a similar age.
and then there’s this…
So exactly how does this come up? I mean, I’ve been in plenty of large groups, but nobody’s ever piped up with, “Hey, we need a show of hands. Who wants to see _______ naked?”
I sleep naked, but I really can’t see myself wondering around the houes naked. I however do have a valid excuse. I’m English.
astrangefish: A very vaild excuse. It’s too damn cold and draughty in English houses to try such a shocking stunt as to be naked. Anyone looking for the origins of English prudishness need look no further.
What would all the third world children do for employment?
:::slaps LouisB around with a loaf of bread:::
Although the weather in Ireland doesn’t lend itself to being naked a lot I do like it when I’m on my own in the house and just loll around with no clothes.
Good to hear more people share this simple pleasure
Yes, I love to be nude. Roommates at school/family at home tend to prevent it more often than I’d like, but when I am reasonably certain I won’t be disturbed, I’m generally naked.
