My best friend and I used to have this friday night ritual where we’d unwind from our high-pressure work week by going to a local public bath and spa (we live in Asia where it’s more common). I was totally uncool with the thought of being naked around of dudes but after a while I was like, “to hell with it” and just went for it. I FELT AWESOME! It was so relaxing to just lay in that hot pool or steam room totally naked and not think about anything. That place later closed. I miss it. Now all I do is drink beers to unwind on Friday nights.
I voted “with members of my own gender”. I can’t really think of any context where I would be naked with someone of the opposite sex (I’m gay). Although lately I’m not totally comfortable being naked around other people because I really dislike what my body has become over the last few years. Though I’m naked at home a lot, my SO regularly tells me to put something on because he doesn’t like the idea that other people could even potentially see it.
Guess how I voted?
I wouldn’t bet on a complete absence of nakedness on the men’s side. I used to belong to Spectrum Fitness here in L.A., At the one in Redondo Beach, on either side of the coed lap pool and adjoining the respective bath and locker rooms for each sex, there were segregated Jacuzzis on either side of a co-ed lap pool. A good fifty or sixty percent of the guys using that hot tub would go in nude. The likelihood of somebody being nude did seem to correlate with age more or less, but still some younger guys did it too. The Jacuzzis, or at least the one for the men, was near an eastward facing wall made of glass bricks; I’d go in the morning and the daylight filtering in was nice.
I’m generally OK with being nude if in an environment where people mutually agree that nudity is OK. I’d rather be nude among a mixed group than just my own gender, OTOH being the only nude male along with some nude women could be a little awkward too. Either way I could get used to it if the situation demanded. For example, if I was being given a walking tour of a clothing optional resort, and there happened to be only guys in the group, I could strip down. Being nude outdoors feels so awesome I wish I had a place to do it now. The only place in L.A. County closed down years ago, and there’s not a single nude beach anywhere in Southern California except for Blacks in San Diego.
ETA: in indicating that I would prefer not to be nude with other guys, that would only apply to hypothetical situations that might occur at a nude beach or the like. As for changing or showering at a gym, that sort of thing doesn’t even register on my discomfort meter. I used to routinely take the nude walk from my locker to the showers, because I wasn’t going to wrap my fresh shower towel around me when I was still sweaty from the workout.
Extremely comfortable, but I’m an exhibitionist who sends nude pictures of himself to strangers over the Internet.
I have too much respect for other people than to subject them to seeing me nude!
I’m not even comfortable ALONE naked. I don’t mind being uncovered for my Mig, but I don’t like my belly showing so I use strategic sheet positioning until we’re at a point beyond caring.
I like this poll, but the options aren’t very well thought-out. Too many 'only’s
I got married so I wouldn’t have to get naked in front of anyone new again 
I’ll disrobe for the gynecologist once a year, but I’m not happy about it.
Yeah. I’m so tempted to do polls all the time but sometimes there are too many qualifiers to make it work precisely.
So basically Ceasar’s Palace has an onsen? I was uptight about nudity until locker rooms in high school. Now I don’t really care. I think if random people saw me naked in public (I’m not sure how this would come about) I’d be more embarassed about the inappropriateness of public nudity for other people’s sensibilities than a “crap, I’m embarassed about people seeing my body.”
FlyingRat, ever notice how the onsen cleaning women are always women? Old (and often not so old) women wander into the men’s sides constantly with their mops and such. And you just know some of them are wondering if gaijin cock really does look different. Once I had a 45-second exchange with the counter lady who had followed me into the onsen (just after I’d finished taking all of my clothes off and was holding only a towel). Turns out I’d left my change in the dispenser, but she couldn’t just say that and hand me it and walk away. No, she had to make sure I understood. That’s the most I’ve ever said sumimasen while naked. And that includes sex. 
I’ve been too many orgies and fetish clubs to care about being seen naked by others - doesn’t register for me at all.
I’m amazed at how much of an issue this can be for some people though. In my local gym a few months ago I saw some young guys (probably about 18 or so) in the shower in their underwear. What the fuck is that about?
For the now 99 people who selected either “I don’t care who I’m naked with as long as I’m not the only naked one” or “I’m fine being the only naked one in the group,” might I point out that one is permitted to post photos on Mellophant.
I wouldn’t mind letting people eat stuff off my bod, but they’d probably get nauseous at the sight.
Mostly with my lover/healthcare provider or with people I don’t know. I have and will get naked in front of friends, but I won’t be 100% comfortable.
My dad used to walk around the house naked all the time when I was a kid. It made me a bit uncomfortable at times.
Plenty of photos are available, but what’s Mellophant?
Not at all, I am very uncomfortable even with a doctor.
I was too when I was in junior high.
