years ago, i used to lay on a lounge chair on the roof naked, did not care. there are 2 buildings a bit away that were taller, and I did not care who saw me..

but the doors are locked now, so that ends that, and Im too old now.

Why are people so afraid of nudity?

Afraid,but seemingly unable to just avert their eyes.

Good question. I don't understand it, either. It's the human body --- everyone has one, everyone has seen themselves nude as well as someone of the opposite sex nude. It's not that big of a deal.

I don't agree with cooking nude (gross) or sitting down to eat nude (unless it's a snack in bed with your lovah) but I have no problem in someone sunbathing nude in their yard, on their terrace, or on their roof.

I don't get why someone would want to do gardening in the nude (as in the story) but to each his or her own. If they enjoy it, who am I to complain?

When they stick buildings 10 feet apart with floor to ceiling picture windows in the bedrooms, what did they expect people to see, neighbors in tuxedos 24/7?

There was a guy across the way with a four poster bed and a different partner every night. I think he was a gymnast.
It was better than HBO or Cirque du Soleil.

This American culture of prudishness and fixation/fear of nudity are all thanks to the puritans..they really screwed this country. It's getting to the point that I am unable to smoke weed while having unprotected sex with multiple anonymous partners on a public beach or park....what's wrong with this country!

Problem with running around naked on your terrace, your garden, or in front of your windows? Despite what they think, most people actually look a helluva lot better with their clothes ON! When I try to picture what some of my neighbors look like in the nude, all I can do is thank God for curtains.
