I don't think it's all that strange to be that way,I was raised in a conservative household and we didn't walk around either buck naked just because. We weren't taught being naked was dirty or anything,but we didn't go to the other extreme either.
I always thought it was interesting,when I met my ex she was kind of embarrassed that her family walked around the house regularly in their underwear...so that right there may indicate that perhaps it may not be the most normal thing either
Look at this issue another way, how would you like to be in your friend's house knowing they have this habit and realizing your bottom is on the same couch her husband's naked a__ was on that morning?
.....Just saying......
Not saying I sit around naked, either. And if I'm at my friends house, I would have clothes on, so this would not be an issue.
HOWever,since you raised that issue, I think ANYone sitting on furniture at someones else's house should make no assumptions as to the presence of certain "residual" substances.
My last long-term relationship was relatively healthy in the bedroom. However, he demonstrated a certain behavior that I always found strange, and even a bit hurtful at times. I've never experienced this behavior with any other man, so I'm just wondering if anyone else has. I know he had a lot of insecurities (ergo, he's an EX) but I just found this to be so very weird.
He loved me to dress up in cute little nothings, heels, whatever, occasionally, for special evenings together, (and yeah...I had never done that before, but I did it for him- it was actually fun, and I enjoyed it, as did he.) But if I ever would come into the kitchen in the altogether, or really most anytime I would happen to walk around naked, he would absolutely freak. I mean..."God...put some clothes on! Someone will see you!! Are you nuts??" And every single window could be covered, and he would STILL react this way. I have to say, the first time he did this, it hurt my feelings terribly. After a while I realized that was just the way he was. And no, he never EVER walked around naked, and always dressed very quickly. He hated for me to even climb in the shower with him. And no, he was not a horribly misshapen man......he was a bit on the thin side, very tall. Average looking. But I never really understood it. I'm very comfortable being naked...I have always felt that way around my man.
Anyone else have this happen with their SO?
Most probably he grew up in a house full of women and it was a BIG deal to see "too much skin". Maybe HIS mother walked around naked all the time and really grossed him out when he was a young, impressionable man. Whatever his hang-up you can bet it originates from something that happened in his childhood. Maybe he doesn't want to deal with it.
If more people would take the time to visit a reputable nudist resort or travel to parts of Europe and experience nude beaches they'd become more comfortable with their bodies. When you're a young 20 something, sure it's exciting and thrilling but after a few minutes the thrill wears off and you learn to relax and enjoy the freedom.
or you could go to the Fremont Fair Solistice Parade in WA. It has become a tradition for people to go naked riding bikes in the parade. Many paint themselves and it looks like they have clothing on but then you realize they don't. It was a very interesting experience. Except for some of the enhancements, body paintings, and wondering at the comfort of riding a bike naked, after awhile like you said, the novelty wore off and it was...so what...another naked person.
I haven't read all the responses, so I'm sorry if this is a duplicate, but perhaps he grew up in a home where nakedness was only to be in a private bedroom, not the kitchen, or living room, etc.
If you were just running to get a drink of water or something, I don't see how it would be a big deal.
Maybe he liked the mystery of the cute outfits and the teasing aspect of showing skin,heels etc. but when it came to just being nude somewhere other than the bedroom, he freaked?
If I ran through the house nude even just to get a drink, I'd have to fight my guy off with a stick!

Don't mind it at all if she is nude around the house.I on the other hand who am not shy at all.....at all about stripping down would just rather wear around the house clothes when I don't have a reason to be stripped down.
And I like my house between 68 and 71 degrees so my idea of comfort is chilled with a flannel on.
I only feel comfortable getting naked when I surf the web.
