I nominate my four-year-old son, who just blew through the house, fresh out of the bathtub, naked as a jaybird, all in a search for his favorite rainbow-colored slinky. I think he gave the neighbors a free show when he stopped by the sliding-glass doorsā€¦ šŸ˜‰ ---

Your son just streaked this thead? I thought that was **Iampunhaā€™s** job. In my house, weā€™re as naked as we want to be, as often as we want. It is nothing unusual for one or both of us to be sitting around as god intended us at any given time. ---

I typically go around in my underwear most of the time Iā€™m at the house. On occasion ā€“ right now, for instance šŸ˜‰ ā€“ I have been naked, though I tend to get funny looks from the cat. Whenever I can, I go barefoot or in sandals though Blacksburg tends to get cold while I live there, so itā€™s not incredibly often. ---

About 2 mos. ago i lived with my inlaws, so, then I stayed fully clothed. (On average sweats/shorts and a tee). Now, I still can not stay fully naked, because we live on the bottom floor and Iā€™m not giving any free shows, but I do feel comfortable enough to walk around in just my underwear. My wife on the otherhand is a t-shirt and panties type girl. Except those nights when she knows I want to pounce her, sheā€™ll wear bottoms too. (I guess the extra layer is added foreplay for her, i dunno) ---

Completely naked. With my gorgeous and naked fiancĆ©e. Itā€™s not _all_ about the sex, itā€™s definitely about comfort and saving on air conditioning bills. But you knowā€¦ nakedness. So yeah. ---

A few years ago, when I became single, I discovered that if youā€™re not having sex on a regular basis, you ā€œlose touchā€ so to speak with your own bodyā€¦ your skin, your curves if youā€™re a woman, etc. All your time is spent with clothes on, except in the shower or bath. This just seemed wrong to me. Especially when you have skin like mine; itā€™s like heaven to touchā€¦ so I ditched the pajamas and nightgowns. I now sleep with just underwear on (you know, in case of fire). Iā€™m much more aware of and comfortable with my body now. ---

This is a guy who has about 15 knives in strategic places around his apartment :eek: Ha! Thatā€™s me too. I donā€™t generally wear much at all and if I do I have some pants or shorts somewhere close.

Just wait til they invent Feelovision, Mike, then you are in for a treat! Iā€™m way into my own skin right nowā€¦ I said ā€œDamn, itā€™s soft!!ā€ Iā€™ve always gotten compliments on itā€¦ one guy said it was so soft it almost felt like it was almost rotten! šŸ˜• I have no one to appreciate it right now.

Nekkid at home when I can. Also when sleeping. Boxers & t-shirt are always within easy reach. ---

At home, I wear a pair of sandals, a pair of panties, and a pair of glasses most of the time. If Iā€™m cold (rarely) or if someone comes over, Iā€™ll throw on some clothes. I own a few nightgowns and pajamas, but I donā€™t wear them unless Iā€™m cold or at the hospital or sleeping at someone elseā€™s house. ---

Quite blissfully nekkid or nearly so. Originally, I was just a sleep nekkid kinda gal, but my husbandā€™s always been more of a regularly naked guyā€¦but, um, I think it has rubbed off on me. Heā€™s outta state right now, so Iā€™m kinda bumming around the house in one of his Cthulhu Ts, but nothinā€™ else. ---

Since itā€™s been cold for what seems like years, I usually wander around the apartment in an oversized sweater and comfy panties. This is apparently irresistibly cute, so it tends to be rather temporary. šŸ˜ƒ I almost always sleep naked, he sleeps with boxers on (unless I ā€œpantsā€ him right before going to bed). Iā€™m perfectly comfortable lounging around in the buff. I wish heā€™d be naked more often, but heā€™s very self-conscious. The only problem Iā€™ve found with this is that after a while in the same relationship, the partner becomes so used to my nakedness that it loses itā€™s sexuality. So I have to put on some sort of exciting clothing. I never get desensitized to said partner though. Itā€™s sorta depressing. ---

I sleep nekkid, but I donā€™t generally wander around the house that way. Iā€™m pretty cold-blooded, so most of the year it wouldnā€™t be comfortable to be sans clothing. When it does get hot enough to be nekkid, Iā€™d rather open the blinds enough to let a good breeze through ā€“ which means at least t-shirt and boxers to maintain some semblance of propriety (and non-arrestability). ---

Wow, you guys, Iā€™m impressed. I didnā€™t know so many people hung around nekkid. I usually wear pj pants and a sexy tank top pajama thingie at home. I sleep naked sometimes, depending on if Iā€™ve had sex or not. I think Iā€™d get too cold hanging around naked. ---

Nekid as the day I was born. Usualy myself and my wife are home like this. No point to clothes when itā€™s just the two of us. I do keep some pants handy for when our dog needs to go out or someone comes to the door.
