It’s unnatural to walk around like an animal I think. Especially as a guy I don’t want things just hanging out, I like everything tight fitting and snug. Feels much more comfortable and natural.

But the current I live with (exso) just has always done this. Not like watching tv nude and stuff. But the worst is when he just stands there like superman and talk about something mundane. Its like...dude...put on some pants.
I also had a roomate that would do this. I woke up one morning and she was cooking eggs topless. Which when I looked at her like WTF...she started laughing and realized how odd it looked....But otherwise she would walk around brushing her teeth in the nude, eat fast dinners half nude...
Another roomate that was a guy would just walk around in his underwear only. Some were speedo version looking like things...

Is this strange to you or are you a nudie too?
No, not weird to me. We're all naked under our clothes. I'd rather have someone walking around naked than feeling comfortable farting around the house!

Why? Especially given we _are_ animals. Do you think we are not somehow?

Which is fine. No one is asking you to. But what you personally _want_ is not indicative of what is "natural" or not.

What feels personally comfortable is subjective. I was only last week over in Germany visiting a friend and my kids and his (4 year old boys and 7 year old girls) were pretty much naked the entire time for 4 days. In the garden and in the house. They did not seem to find any comfort issues.

Likely what is happening here is not that clothing is comfortable to you - but you have become accustomed to them. Which feels the same of course - but are still very different things.

I went back and forth with people in a thread about nudity for a while here and eventually realized something...

Despite the fact that I am comfortable in my own skin and enjoy being nude and don't really find it alarming to be that way around other people (who have consented to an environment where people are naked)...I think that in general public, I do actually like the idea of people's bottom-parts being covered. Mostly because of germs, and secretions and hygiene and sweat...I don't want to sit on a public seat somewhere that someone's junk has been all over you know? Just a matter of being a bit more sanitary, by preference. I heard somewhere that nudists often carry around a towel and sit on it. But I've never been to a nudist place so I wouldn't know. (My experiences are at a private adult club, so a bit different.)

However, I think that the naked body is not in and of itself some horrible nasty thing to see, no matter if someone is youthful and toned, or not, I've gotten used to seeing beauty in all colors, shapes, sizes and ages, bodies are bodies. I think that the excessive sexualization is very . Sometimes I feel like "muggles" (what we call vanilla normal people) are way too obsessed with sex.

And everyone should be allowed to be topless if anyone is. There are plenty of men with larger bosoms than I have, if they can let 'em hang out, then women should be allowed to be shirtless as well. At least women have a biological purpose to our mammaries...men going topless is for their own comfort and no other reason at all.

Uhhh, mind if I tag along on your next visit?😇

Moderator cut: deleted


As for the nudity question it depends on variety of things:
1) environmental conditions in the domicile
2) whether the other individuals regard nudity with nonchalance
3) whether the other individuals are in romantic relationship or a roommate
4) whether the furniture and furnishings are 'nudity friendly' I won't go into detail, but a simple example for definite covering would be wicker or cane seats (or course you could walk around with a towel but that sort of defeats the purpose and intent)
5) as a previous poster mentioned in the kitchen can be dangerous depending on what type of cooking or prep one is engaged in....


Made me think of Seinfeld episodes...

No. A don is not wearing shorts, and off course not nude.
