How comfortable are you with being naked in front of another person or in a group?
I didn’t vote because I really don’t know, but I came in to tell my recent naked story (in the recent polless thread.)
In Vegas, if you go to the spa at Caesar’s Palace and get a massage or something you get a free day pass to the whole spa, which is a sex-segregated Roman Bath - it has a big room with a frigidarium/tepidarium/cauldarium, and also a sauna and an herbal steam room and an Arctic cold room and showers and servants to bring you tea and such. You’re issued a locker and robe and all at the beginning, and all of that stuff is either nude or you brought a bathing suit (and imagine how many people thought to bring a bathing suit?) So I’m hanging out in the big Bath room with the three pools on one of the heated marble loungers (!) but I say, I’m not going to go naked no way no how. I don’t even know these people!
But they were all naked, and none of them knew each other, and they were cool with it. So I did. And it was AWESOME. I was naked EVERYWHERE and it was the coolest thing! I probably spent two hours there just going from room to room having an ecstatic time naked. There was another hot tub room which for weird social reasons the people in bathing suits (bachelorette party, I think) gravitated towards, and everybody else was naked in the pools and naked or robed in the rest of it. I saw more female flesh that day than I’d ever seen in my life, and I had a tea mixed for me to specifically match my massage service.
I suspect that on the men’s side, nobody at all was naked. I noticed as I was leaving that the gift shop sold a lot of swimming trunks.
ETA - but the poll didn’t have an option for “Naked only at the Spa at Caesar’s Palace.” Because next time I’m in Vegas, I am so naked.
Is this research for the next doperfest?
Gawddammit, was this in the OP before I shot my…er, voted?
It was not.
LBJ used to get other Senators nekkid in some Senatorial swimming pool dressing room, and intimidate them into voting the way he wanted.
It really depends on the circumstances. I’m pretty comfortable naked and it wouldn’t bother me if some random stranger saw me disrobed, but I’m not going to walk around inappropriate places in the buff, either.
So that’s what folks mean by “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”
I tend to be naked at home, and while on wilderness canoe trips provided the bugs or brush are not too bad, e.g. http://my.tbaytel.net/culpeper/24520065.jpg . What it comes down to is that I don’t like clothes. It must run in the family, for when my sister was a very little girl, she would strip and hide her clothes when she went outside to play. Our mom had a twenty-five cent reward for neighbourhood kids who found and returned my sister’s clothes.
Did y’all consider asking the gender of those who reply? 
You think that was bad? He also used to hold staff meeting while on the toilet (female staffers were not excused) :eek: and was know to whip it own and urinate in the middle of press conference (hopefully only the outdoor ones).
Well, considering I’ve let people eat pastries off my bare body, I’d say pretty comfortable.
Holy shit.
This was the guy in a Senate race…I believe a Texas Senate contest…who told an aide they would accuse his opponent who was a pig farmer of having intercourse with his stock.
“But Sir, no one will believe that!”
“Yes, Son, but let’s make him deny it.”
I love being naked. I voted as long as I’m not the only one - it’s no fun being naked alone.
It’s really one thing I miss about being a practicing Wiccan: being skyclad really brings you closer to nature. The feeling and the high is amazing. I can’t quite get away with that in the Baptist church, though… 
So, back to the gender question…
Sounds like you had fun! I couldn’t go around nude all day. I’ve gotten so used to wearing a bra that my breasts get to aching if I go without for very long at a time.
Also, I’m old enough to be weirdly lumpy in strange places. So, no public nudity for me.
Someone hasn’t been paying attention in the other thread!
The use of “only” in the poll is kinda weird. I’m cool with it with a partner and a doctor of a different gender, and strangers of the same gender. If I select the former, then I’m leaving out the latter.
I’ve ACTUALLY also been to a nudist event, and got naked, and it wasn’t bad. But I wouldn’t say that I am comfortable with it as an every day thing
I’ve lived in clothing-optional environments and over a period of a couple decades between teenager and early middle age got to the point where I’m not very self-conscious about it at all. I could go for a walk about town or to work naked w/o problem if I were protected from harassment and arrest.
I get the “naked in front of others” dreams like others do, but in mine I’ve simply forgotten to put on clothes and I’m brazening it out and only gradually coming to realize that it’s causing way too much of a commotion to be worth it.
What kinds of pastries?
I don’t care as long as it’s not inappropriate. (Like I wouldn’t feel comfortable teaching naked, for example.) I walk around our house clad in as little as possible most of the time. My boyfriend thinks it’s funny to pretend to be shocked whenever I do this. “Jesus Christ, woman, put your monkey away!” :dubious: Monkey?
I wear clothes in public because a lot of people around here believe that a nekkid body is an Abomination Before God. I will admit that my body is not a visual treat any more, and in fact when I’m in public I generally wear dresses/skirts that fall somewhere between my calves and ankles. However, I usually run around my house wearing only a pair of glasses, panties, and flipflops. If I’m in a hotel or hospital room by myself, it’s the same thing. I do throw on a robe when I’m expecting a meal in the hotel or hospital, or some other non-medical visitor. I expect my doctors, nurses, and technicians to just deal with my near-nudity, though.
