I’m not comfortable, but I do it when it’s neceary at the doctor’s or wherever without getting too stressed. I just don’t like it. ---

…anyone try naked yoga. Mixed. Since I started practicing yoga and hence reading articles about yoga, I keep running across it. I guess I’m pretty comfortable naked, but I can’t imagine naked yoga. I mean I CAN imagine it. And therefore think I’m not up for it. No pun intended. ---

Naked Twister is a lot of fun. 😃 I’m comfortable naked or dressed. Doesn’t matter to me. ---

I’m 65 years old. I could be naked in public, no one would notice. At my age, the only reason people notice you is when I want to pay a bill. ---

You don’t have the option that fits me. I am actually pretty comfortable being naked in front of people as long as it is my own choice. ---

I have no problem being naked where everyone is - in saunas, clothing-discouraged spas, at nude beaches. My SO and I like going to all of these. The important thing is everyone maintaining proper nudist etiquette. You only need to realize: other people think about you as much as you think about them, i.e. almost not at all. ---

I said “as long as I’m not the only one” but that isn’t exactly true. There’s only my wife and I in the house, and I don’t mind being the only one naked. Otherwise it all depends on where I am. Nude beach, locker room, etc., I’m fine with it. ---

When a 15-minute ferry trip from the CBD and a 10-minute walk lets you float naked [here](https://media.timeout.com/images/103087619/630/472/image.jpg), what’s not to like? ---

I’ve done two 5k naked races. 300 naked people running is really interesting. I’ve also been naked in large groups where it’s all about the sex (swing clubs, FetCon, etc). I definitely do less naked stuff in public than I used to now that I’m older, but I’m still comfortable being naked. I guess it’s sorta like beentheredonethat for me now.
