[QUOTE=Lynn Bodoni] I wear a pair of glasses, a pair of panties, and a pair of flipflops around the house, unless I’m cold or there’s a guest in the house. If I’m cold, I put on a nightie. If there’s a guest, I will (reluctantly) wear street clothes. I’ve been a near nudist for about 20 years now, and when I go visit my parents and stay in their home, it’s a struggle for me to remember to keep my clothes on at all times. I automatically remove my clothes upon entering my house. [/QUOTE] Flipflops and panties. Wow! that is sexy :dubious: ---

> [@Slithy Tove](#): > > Although I have no cite for that, an undisuptable advantage to home nudity is its tendency to disincline one towards preparing and thereby eating fried foods. Huh?

Who said anything about Black’s Beach? Have you ever fought the traffic up there? No thanks, I’m perfectly happy being naked by my lonesome 20 miles away. (Actually, I used to climb the hills near Black’s Beach when I lived in the area, but I’ve never been to the beach proper. Maybe I’ll check it out this summer.) > [@Telperien](#): > > Well, you’re entertaining me. Does that count? 😃 What, you want me to put my clothes back _on_? > [@Nava](#): > > You had me worried, fetus. Most of us get naked pretty often and don’t feel the need to call the newspapers about it, you know I exploded with laughter upon reading this. It’s a good thing nobody else is here, and not just because I’m in the buff. > [@levdrakon](#): > > I was watching the episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and they had this nudist guy who liked to entertain his nudist friends and it was basic etiquette to put a towel or something down before seating your sweaty ass on the furniture. Nothing prudish about it. > > You’ve got a roommate. You might show a little consideration. Actually, I’ve been keeping my towels draped over his furniture out of consideration for him. But I haven’t seen any skid marks on my towels or my furniture yet, possibly because I learned to wipe my arse almost 20 years ago. Sweat isn’t much of an issue either, given that San Diego is experiencing record low temperatures and it recently snowed (though only a little bit, and I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t hear it on the news) for the first time in 20 years. ---

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention…_I’m not wearing clothes_. Sweat isn’t the biggest problem on my mind at the moment. ---

[QUOTE=fetus] 😃 What, you want me to put my clothes back _on_? [/QUOTE] No, that’s quite all right. Of course, you do realize that every time I read a post from you from now on, I’m going to think of you as posting naked. 😃 ---

Most clean folks wash their uinderwear despite the fact that they don’t wipe their asses with them or use them to sop up pee, but I assume you don’t wash the couch when you get up. For this reason, sitting on furniture nude without a towel strikes me as being no different than wearing the same pair of underwear day in and out without washing them. Butts and pee pee’s have lots of germs, regardless of how impeccable you think your hygene is. Lounging in the nude is fine, but to do so without ever setting down a towel where you put your ass is just plain gross. No prudishness required to see it that way. ---

[/QUOTE] It’s just one of those things I guess. I assume you do keep yourself clean. I just wouldn’t want to sit where I know you’ve been sitting naked. Meanwhile, I’ll quite happily go put my bare ass on the same toilet I know for a fact you regularly seat your bare ass. Why the difference? Who knows. A lot of gyms expect you to lay a towel down on the equipment whether you’re sweating or not. Yet people use the toilets in the locker room or sit in the sauna and put their bare butts right where everyone else has put their bare butt. Why? Who knows. We just do. ---

[QUOTE=fetus] Hooray! I’m naked! [/QUOTE] Yeah, yeah, I said the same thing the weekend before last when I went up to my cabin in the holler with no curtains or blinds to drop off a bookshelf and what the heck, might as well take everything off and add it to the load of wash I was doing. Do you think the fourth visitor we’ve had in as many years could have come at a worse time? ---

hee. nakedness abounds on the dope! the dive master and i are in good company, it seems (it’s 22 degrees in indy, baby!) we do keep the nudity confined to bed (no better way to sleep when you aren’t sleeping alone), but there are clothes on for the furniture unless we’re fresh as a daisy from the shower or tub. it’s also not unusual for us to wander around naked for a while right after waking up in the morning. the divemaster lives in the middle of the sticks (i’m more urban than he is), so nakedness isn’t a problem. 😃 ---
