I was just wondering how you all feel about nudity? I love being nude as often as possible. As a matter of fact, I am nude right now as I type this. I hardly ever wear clothes at home and I love walking around my apartment nude with the windows and shades wide open. I also sleep in the nude. If it were not against the law, I would even enjoy going places in the nude. Being nude doesn't bother me a bit. How do you all feel about it?

I used to run around naked all the time. Not only in my house on a day to day basis, but whenever we hosted parties for our friends or attended parties held by our friends. These weren't sex parties (though sex did happen), but just a comfortable environment and nobody minded seeing me naked!
Nowadays I can't really go around the house naked anymore because my sister in law and her husband live with us, and they would be absolutely horrified. We figure it's good not to scare off the family members, even if it is our house! When they're out for an evening or on vacation, though, I do run downstairs without clothing. I've never minded if the shades are open, but my girlfriend doesn't want to scare the neighbors, either. (We live in suburbia!)
And my girlfriend and I sleep naked every night, unless it's winter. When it's cold we put on pajamas some nights.
We've never been to a nudist colony, but we've considered it.

I also enjoy being naked. I've been at a lot of (non-sexual) nudist events in the US and just generally hung around newagy types who got naked easily. I've also lived in germany; germans have a gene that causes them to tear all their clothes off at the sight of water.
I think a lot of americans should spend more (non-sexual) time naked. In american culture, nudity is usually foreplay, which is why nudity is so charged and difficult in the US. They need to get over it; well-facilitated, safe nudist locations and events can help. Enough time around naked people, and one stops even noticing. (I continue to notice cute and sexy people, but I notice cute and sexy people with their clothes on too!)
But I wanted to comment on this remark:
I enjoy being naked around people who are confortable with nudity. As discussed on another thread, I also enjoy sexual voyeurism and exhibitionism. However, walking around naked with your shades up verges on flashing, which is the imposition of your nakedness on someone who doesn't feel comfortable with it, who doesn't want to see it. Sure they may be prude, but as the more-sexually-enlightened person in the story, it's your responsibility to take care of the boundaries of your uptight fellow citizens.
It's a grey area, I suppose, since you are in the interiour of your own home. It depends on your (1)windows and your (2)intentions. If your windows are such that you will be necessarily exposing yourself to non-peeking neigbors and passers by, or if in your heart of hearts your intention is to shock or otherwise impose your nudity and sexuality on others, then perhaps you should find another forum for getting naked.

Nudity at home. . . .
Karuna,
Thanks for your input on the comments that I made about walking around my apartment nude with the windows and shades open. Your points are well taken. Interestingly enough I was told by a friend who is a police officer that walking around your house nude is ok even with the blinds open where people might have a chance to see you. The main concern is that you do not go out into public areas where you would be exposed. If that happens you would be charged with indescent exposure.
As a side note, I live in a 3rd floor apartment where I suppose the folks that live directly across from me could see me nude and anyone looking up into my apartment could also see me nude. So far it has not caused any problems. If I lived on a first floor apartment where everyone could see me as they entered the building then I would be a little more cautious about leaving the shades open except for maybe at night.
I agree that Americans need to get over the fear of being nude. I believe that if public nudity were allowed giving more people exposure to nudity, they would soon get over their phobia.
By the way, I am also an exhibitionist and have taken brave dares of going outside nude at night. It is something about the excitement of being seen by other people in the au natural. So far I have never been caught at that either. Actually, I don't even do it any more. Just too risky and the trouble that it could cause is just not worth it.

like you i love being nude around the house. I sometimes wonder if I could go to a nudist camp. There are some nice ones in this area. I'd love to try it just for the freedom of wandering around naked. I'm not an exibitionist, but ido enjoy the feeling of being naked.
I agree the american should bemore comfortable with being nude and other peoples nudity.
One of these days i know i'm going to try a nudist resort. part of the problem is my wife is kind of shy. she is getting out of her shell some.

Been there, done that...didn't buy the t-shirt! (bwahahaha)taolanes said:When it's in moderation in society, it is great though. I love girls who aren't uptight about it. Girls who could just walk around naked around a huge crowd of men and women and love it.

I personally don't like to go naked. I always keep a sock handy, in case I feel the urge to strip down. At least that way I'll retain my dignity.
Note: If the above three sentences do not sound funny, try to imagine them as if Margaret Thatcher were saying them. Try this with any post, in fact. It works wonders.

I've loved being nude as long as I can remember. We've gone to nudist resorts a couple of time, have nudist friends, and since we live in the country and have lots of land I love to walk in the woods with just sneaks on and work in the garden in the nude.
It's a combination of feeling natural and sensual at the same time for me. The most sensual nude experience has been snorkeling of a small Puerto Rican island. Being in the ocean and feeling the salt water enveiope my body made me feel as if I was totally immersed in a woman.

The joy of nudity
You are so lucky to be able to walk around in the nude as you please. I wish that I lived in the country or at least had a big privacy fence so that I could walk around outside naked all the time. The most I can do living in an apartment is walk around the house naked and I have snuck outside naked a few times late at night. I, like you enjoy the natural feeling that being naked gives you. It is a great way to relax. I also have some large t-shirts that could pass for night shirts and I have gone outside during the day with just that and a pair of sneakers -- no undies. I would love to go to a nudist camp some day or to a nude beach. Walking around naked in the open would not bother me at all.

I was raised a nudist. I enjoy being nude whenever I can. I don't leave the curtains open though for others to see me. But I don't mind being nude around others at all.
I've always enjoyed nudist camps and resorts. Usually the people are really cool.

great thread
I grew up pretty str8 foward and slept in shorts or sweatpants whenever I went to bed. One night when I was out of my parents house and living on my own my gf asked me after sex why i was getting dressed to goto sleep. I told her I never slept nude before and she convinced me to try it. Now, I have another reason to thank her. Since then I sleep naked whenever I can. There are times that I can't just in case someone walks in but most of the time I do.
The time that I am referring to is when I was dating a gal with a young child and she often would wake up in the middle of the night wanting to come and sleep in our bed.
I also dated a gal that would not sleep nude AND preferred me not to sleep nude either. I had a hard time sleeping feeling her clothed body next to mine and my clothed body too.
As far as an exhibitionist goes, yes I am. A friend of mine and I were having this same discussion less then a week ago. She too is an exhibitionist and was surprised to hear I am. I have gone to a nude (clothing optional) beach here in South Florida a few times. I gotta say the first time I was so nervous I never took off my suit. The 2nd time I was still really nervous and only took off my suit when I was laying on my stomach. DONT LAUGH AT ME... I was nervous! Since then I haven't had any problems laying naked in front of others.
I'd goto a nudist camp but I dont want to go alone or they will think I am a perv..

Re: Re: great thread
The clothing optional beach has a gay section and a family section but still I would have to say there are 75% men at the beach.
I've seen pictures of nudist camps and they look like they are having so much fun. Its not sexual at all.
I will check ahead then again I first have to find one that isnt too far away. Once I find one then i will ask what is their policy.
Thanks

I love being nude
I love being nude and enjoy lying in the sun and feeling as one with nature.
This cheeky shot was taken by a friend - it's so embarassing but what the heck!

naked all the time
I'm with everyone here...I wish I could be nude all the time . I sleep in the nude and walk around in the house nude ..nude beeches, but society doesn't seem to make anyone comfortable enough to strip down at a pool party and take a dip( without freakin everyone out) you can't really discuss it openly except for places like this
