Since my wife and I have become comfortable with each other naked, we have begun to wear clothes less. Almost 100% of our time at home is now spent completely, or mostly naked. Shirts and pants are off within seconds of walking in the front door. It’s usually not about sex, but comfort. This thread is a poll of your clothing habits. How naked are you? ---

I’ve got a T-shirt on, and that’s about it. Of course, I’m a college student in a single room, so that’s not nearly as scandalous as it sounds. 🙂 Not too sure about when I get home, though - won’t it be a bit stuffy to have the curtains drawn and windows closed all the time, especially in summer? ---

hm, living on a farm, I may have to nip outside and deal with the UPS guy or something chasing my chickens, so at minimum I wear around a humonguous size 5x tshirt that comes to below my knees, or a caftan made of breezecloth, and hubby tends to wear tshirt and running shorts. Barefoot is in, as I have loafers I can slip into fairly fast and he wears sneakers most of the time. ---

Right now? Completely. But then again I live alone and keep my blinds closed, lest the neighbors complain again. When I was married it was the same thing though, for both of us. ---

With three kids, it’s difficult to be mostly or completely naked at any given time (even in the middle of the night). On the occasional weekend when the kids are gone, though, we spend most of the time naked. FB ---

Nowadays about the only time I’m nekkid anymore is when I’m in the shower or mowing the yard. Right now, since I’m at work, I damn well better have some clothes on. ---

I’m sitting here in boxers. My co-workers are kinda freaked out, but hey, its all about comfort. 🙂 OK, I really am in boxers, but I live alone and am home in my office. ---

Right now I’m wearing underwear, khakis, a paisley shirt, a tie, a ring, and a watch. I’m barefoot because I’ve been wearing sandals today, what with the nice weather. However, I currently have a roommate. I might be naked more often next year when I have a single, although maybe it’s more comfortable sitting at my computer chair with pants on due to the ass-sweat-on-leather issue. Damn, did I just inadvertently turn anyone on by saying “ass sweat on leather”? Hope not. ---

I’ve never lived alone but even if I did, I can’t imagine myself walking around nude. I’m just not comfortable in my own skin. The only time I’m naked is when I’m in the shower or maybe when I’m sleeping. ---

Damnit. I usually can be found in just my t-shirt. But I have a cold and I am … cold. Damnit. ---

**Hamish** doesn’t like me to walk around naked, so I usually wear at least some boxers. When possible, though, I like to be naked, especially in summer. ---

COMPLETELY NEKKID. It’s good that way. Sadly, our new apt has a huge patio door with those horizontal blinds. So, the door will be open all the time. That is good. However, I won’t be able to be nekkid. ---

When we move, I expect I’ll be nekkid as often as reasonably possible. Until then, there’s that whole “ **fizzy** ’s mother doesn’t want to see me nekkid” thing… ---

I’m most comfortable when I am dressed. Which would be jeans or shorts and a tee-shirt. Socks and maybe shoes. My wife bought me some sweat type pants, and I will wear them for an hour or so in the morning on the weekends, but never after I have showered. Doesn’t feel right. ---

When I"m at home alone, I’ll walk around with a Tshirt and no underwear or completely naked. Usually just a Tshirt. Around my boyfriend I’ll usually wear just a Tshirt and underwear if we’re just at each other’s places and aren’t doing anything but just hanging out. He’s comfortable enough around me to wear just underwear, or underwear and a Tshirt. In bed, even if we’re not gonna do it, I usually am completely nude. He’ll always wear underwear “just in case he has to leap up and kick someone’s ass” or something. This is a guy who has about 15 knives in strategic places around his apartment :eek: ---

When I’m with my boyfriend we sleep naked. When we first started sleeping (and sleeping only) together we wore underwear, but when we started actually “sleeping” together, we went to naked. As for right now, I’m just wearing a t-shirt. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-naked-are-you/245290.md?page=2)
