Being nude while guest were over.

[vickilynn]

My family and I are always nude at home. I really don't call us nudists but we are very comfortable without clothes. Our family and friends have seen us for years. A couple of days ago, my Aunt came by. All of us were nude. A week ago, my grandparents came by and I was nude. I am always nude at home. Just yesterday, 2 of my school friends came over and we'd played Xbox, And yes I was nude when they came over and stayed nude even when they left. Some of my friends told my I should at least get dressed when company comes over. I'd told them that they know about me and my family and they saw me before too (maybe in the gym locker or something). So why I should get dressed? I understand if they never saw me before or even I told them I am always naked at home and if they would be offended, I would put something on. But one of my two friends was shocked when I let them inside and I didn't have nothing on. She made that comment. She said she wasn't offended but she was shocked to see me nude and not even embarrassed walking around everyone like this. I said I only get dressed if I have to go somewhere and I am a home body. I have been off from school for about 10 days now and I didn't wear anything since then. So do you thing I should of at least worn something for them?

To be completely honest, I think it is common courtesy to at least cover up when company is over. For you and your family, being nude may be normal and you may not think anything of it, but let's be realistic... you and your family are the minority.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing by any means. But you are not part of the social norms. I understand they are your friends, but the majority of people will feel very VERY uncomfortable. To be respectful, I would put on clothes when you have company over.

I agree, If I or basically everyone I know was in your friends position I would be offended. Not that its A bad thing, its just that not everyone agrees with your lifestyle, everyones different.

[vickilynn]

I see what you guys are talking about. I figured that they already seen me in the locker room and I saw them. So I thought it wouldn't matter. I slip something on before they come over. I am going to talk to them about this.

[jenna123]

you have to understand that not everyone has that view of being nudist, some people can be ofended. I think its common courtesy to at least put something on top when guests are over, or talk to them about it and if they feel uncomfortable put some clothes, if not continue being nude

[heyChelsea]

there's no way I could just walk around the house all the time naked, with family or friends, it wouldn't matter, I would at least have a robe on or something

[honeybear]

it depends for me....most of my friends are comfortable with our nudity and sometimes go bare themselves...just depends on who it is if it is someone who may not be comfortable I have a couple long tshirts I slip on

I agree with this.

[hoboliz]

It is your house, so it's your call. Maybe answer the door in pj's and ask later if they're cool with you being naked.

[Pensive]

Another angle on this (I agree with a lot of the above);

If I have a girlfriend/boyfriend, imagine trying to explain hanging out in a bedroom with a naked girl?! The only other time one is deliberately exposed to a girls naked body for prolonged periods of time is surely in a lapdancing club.

One also has to question your ulterior motives for being naked around them. Most would think it was disrespectful, a form of self-stimulating exhibitionism, primarily as it's not difficult to pull on a top or bottoms. They also show you made an effort.

[Miri]

I am always wearing clothes when we have guests over to our house, which is pretty often. I don't risk walking around naked because I know that oftentimes my brothers have friends over that I didn't even know about, and don't want people to see me naked casually like that.

Many people aren't comfortable with nudists practices, so I would consider it a courtesy to at least make sure they are comfortable before removing your clothes in their presence. With family it may not matter, but with friends you aren't sure about, I would consider it a "safe" move to clothe yourself.

I know that i wouldn't want to walk into a friend's house and have their entire family walking around naked.

Its just the minority in the USA. Many countries in Europe are very free about nudity. Even allowed to be stark naked in publck. But you must wear pants and shoes in public places for sanitation reasons.

In the USA that may offend. If you are in another place it may not be so. I prefer people cover up their junk but other than that its OK. If they like to be nude let it be.

I know many family's that go nude all around the home when people aren't over. Then I come over and they apologize for the son walking in with boxers LOL. I'm like 'hey he's wearingnunder wear. Not offending me any. '

Being naked has nothing to do with sex. An asexual can enjoy being nudist the same as a sexual. People aren't turned on by nudity. Its the implication of sex via skimpy suggestive dressing, speaking or posing. There is nothing wrong with nudity. For some reason people in the USA are all pervs about the body. Its sex sex sex. That's all that's on their minds it seams. Hanging out naked is far different from having sex or other ways pleasuring each other. You bf gf would not care if they felt the same as you about nudity.

Being nude with a friend is no different than being nude with a sibling or family member. Its JUST A HUMAN BODY! Everyone has one! There's nothing secret or pervy about it.
We watch our animals walk around naked every day. Because we grow up knowing this is acceptable. If your taught nudity is bad you will think its bad. Everybody is born naked.

What about swimming and bikinis and spedos? That's basicly naked. And everyone in the us sees bikinis and spedos and are not offended because they were taught its OK. You could teach a generation to swim in cloths because 'swim suits are sex'. Even though they aren't.


If your in a place like the USA its best to mention this so you can throw something on if they will be offended. As many people in the usa are taught showing skin is some how bad. Apparently they haven't seen people in sweeden or other country's.

[Kristihey]

Agree completely with Katiya - I think the US is really uptight about nudity, and everyone thinks if you're nude, you have to have sex - which is so silly! I was raised in a family that is totally open about the body, but that doesn't mean we're having sex all the time! ^^ But like others have said, its respectful to be clothed if you aren't familiar with guests!

Being naked is a form of intimacy, when it is not a form of practicality.

A) Attractive (or even unattractive) bodies are sexually stimulating. This is irrespective of `teachings` on nudity. Why? Because sexual visual stimuli are inherent in our species, if you grew up on a remote island - you`d still figure out how to have sex. Duh. :rolleyes: It`s a primative, normal response.

B) Asexual persons are irrelevant as an example as they are in such a minority, and niether of us have read enough research on the matter. :rolleyes:

C) Your body, heart and mind are the only intimate possessions you have to share with the one you love. Telling your bf/gf you`ve been hanging out naked with boys/girls isn`t going to bode well, IF they love you. That`s a level of intimacy surely you`d want to keep special, but if not, you have my pity. :yes:

D) Being nude with a friend is... um... COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than being nude with a family member. Why? urm, cus most people aren`t attracted sexually to their family members :yeah:

E) It`s `just a human body` - what a depressing line, as if there are no differences to the wonder of the human form. I know the girl of my dreams is the most beautiful thing I have or will ever see. On that note, why would I want everyone seeing her naked? :what: I do not share.

F) Our animals are naked because they are animals, more primitave and unevolved than us. We evolved into wearing clothes before we evolved out of having sex with our offspring. These are improvements, not regressions or oppression.

I cannot take the intellectual levels of a person seriously enough to debate this issue properly, when they cannot tell the difference between naked and clothed.

All I did was provide another perspective, I did nothing to warrant the racist anti-american rambling. Let`s not turn the tables (based on factual rather than racial steroetypes).

And next time you launch into a bigoted, racist attack - Check the country of Origin ignoramus. I`m not American. But I have American friends. And I`m fiercely loyal.

`Swimsuits are sex` - And to think they let you near the internet...

0) Being naked has nothing to do with intimacy/sex. I will make that point below.

1) Having sex has nothing to do with nudity other than genitalia have to be exposed for obvious reasons. Sex is an instinct in almost all species of animal. But has nothing to do with the fact that the animals are nude other than the genitalia needs to be accessible. You could put a sweater on a dog and it would be be bred by another dog. Humans have sex while wearing clothing all the time, once again the only necessity is that genitalia be accessible. Humans can be visually stimulated by a CLOTHED body just as easily as a naked one.
Being on a remote island and having the instinct for sex and potential for sexual attraction has nothing to do with whether or not you are attracted to any given person.

According to you, you if you are in fact a sexual person, you must be attracted to any naked body you see. Correct? Children, your friends, a nasty old ugly herpes infested man/woman that hasn't bathed in a year? Because that is what you are suggesting here.
You are also suggesting that rape victims are attracted to their attacker if he/she was nude during the act. "Because even unattractive bodies are sexually stimulating"


2) Excuse me? Haven't read enough on this matter? Well you just made a dumb ass assumption there. I am very educated about asexuals. I Am One! And I have mentioned that on this site before. So I know a great deal about it considering I also know many other asexuals. And we are not irrelevant people by the way.

3) Nudity is not intimacy. Having sex with a person you are sexually attracted to is a form of sexual intimacy. But seeing some one naked is not. The emotional and verbal components of any relationship of any sort are another form of non sexual intimacy.
In reality, if you are nudist, your partner will likely also share your views on nudity if they love you. Or you can expect that relationship to be short lived. A person who is upset by your life choices is not your love of your life.
Nudists do not have sex with everyone else, they have life partners and share intimacy in the form of sex and verbal and emotional ways just like the average person. They do not share that level of intimacy with all other nudists they see or people for that matter. Some may have non-monogamous relations but so do many clothed people.

4) SO I take it you are once again sexually attracted to all your friends? Or are assuming everyone is? Friendship and family are not so far different as you may think. What about adopted older children that go nude? Gee they must be sexually attracted to the family...
And lets say you are a hetero male and you have hetero male friends. You see each other nude. According to your theory you are now gay. In fact anyone who sees the opposite gender of preference nude is BI/Gay.

5) Where did I say the human body wasn't beautiful? I stated that everyone has one, which is a fact. The question is why would you not want beauty to be seen by others? If you don't want any one to see her dress her in robes and cover her face like they do in eastern country's... Each to their own I guess.

6) Once again where did I say that wearing cloths was regression?... That's right I didn't. Humans evolved to wearing cloths in order to brave colder climates. We evolved from chimpanzees who are mostly hairless and would freeze in norther climates without a covering. We made garments as we were intelligent enough to cover up rather than wait hundreds of thousands of years to grow fur. Without cloths we would die of exposure in northern climates.
However many people in tropical climates wear no clothing because it is not needed. No, they don't constantly have sex with everyone they see because they are nude. Nudity is normal there and quite irrelevant to them. The same as it is in more educated nudist populations.

7) Where did I say swimsuits are seen as sex? I said you could teach a generation that swimsuits are indicative of sex and they would grow up believing this. I used the USA as an example of a place that is very prudent and in general does not like nudity, however they tolerate string bikinis just fine. Many swimsuits are just as if not more revealing than lingerie, but are not seen as indicative of sex like lingerie.


Racist? Anti american? Boy your over sensitive to using one place as an example aren't you. Its quite obvious the USA isn't the only place with perverted views on nudity. I mean look at you! LOL!


I can see why you cant carry on an intellectual conversation. All you can do is foam at the mouth and attempt to insult me. Which by the way speaks for your apparently sub par IQ and bad temper. Throwing your insults left and right. Hmm, you know you really sound like the bigot here...

As for the rest of your drivel, well I won't even dignify it with an answer. Your ignorance speaks for it self here.


Thanks for a great laugh though! :D

you have to understand that not everyone has that view of being nudist, some people can be ofended. I think its common courtesy to at least put something on top when guests are over, or talk to them about it and if they feel uncomfortable put some clothes, if not continue being nude

I agree most with Jenn on this, if i walked into my friends house the first thing i seen was her dads/brothers bits all hanging out or her mum/sisters tits right in my face I wouldnt know where to look, i think i would be awkward.

i see nothing wrong with you and your family being nude but its not the norm for most familys, you should ask anyone about to enter your home how they would feel about this :rolleyes:

Hey Pensive and Katiya lets not fight, the mods will block the post and maybe evn your names, lets agree to disagree guys :)

[ClaireMarie]

My parents are nudists. We go every summer in nude camp and on nude beach. They are very often nude at home, Mom first. She's often fully naked but most of the time she's half naked (topless with panties or bottomless with a shirt for example).
I am always nude at home, or sometimes like mom, half naked.
When friends come over, I'm nude most of the time. BFF and some of them join me and get undressed. Others stay clothed while I stay nude. No big deal.
When family or parents guests come over, I stay sometimes all naked if parents are ok (or not lol). So I walk around everyone (all clothed) and nobody is offended, and I like that !!

[babsy]

My family never really wears clothes either at home, so I'm pretty much always nude when I'm at home, but when someone is over, we all get dressed because I guess it's just good manners not to be nude in front of guests... My sister and I usually just wear a big tshirt when someone's over and maybe thats what you should do

[Sminkelaks]

I guess that depends on the guests, if they're nudists as well, or completely cool with it, then it's no problem. I prefer to put some clothes on when guests arrive, though, or if I'm going somewhere.

[Croconaw]

I'm always dressed because people don't need to see me naked. It just doesn't feel comfortable at all.

[Lisa R]

I'm never nude around anybody let alone around guests.
I'm just strange and feel very uncomfortable being nude around anyone.

[nudiegurl13]

I think it depends who it is. I am naked around the house a lot when it's only mom and sister. All of my friends have seen me nude, but the only one comfy with hanging out nude is my BFF. On the other hand, my sis does sometimes get sick of me popping in her room naked to get something or sitting with her on the couch nude.

[Luminous]

I think you should have asked them beforehand if it would make them uncomfortable. And if you didn't know them well enough to ask or something like that, you really should cover up. It's fine for yourself and your family but having friends over and being nude without letting them know really must have been a huge shock to them and made them very uncomfortable, at least, it would be for me.

[stacy1203]

I don't consider myself a nudist, nor my parents or my sister so I really don't see how this would work for me. People who visit us know that we're not nudists so yeah, in my opinion it would look like a sex invitation :eek: or at least it would make them feel uncomfortable seeing me like that... Though I wanted to try being nude in front of some, I just didnt dare yet.

[Nanael]

Well every persons is differnt so i thik its better to wear some clothes when you escept visitors well if i was be the visitor idont mind ;)

[watermelon_pineapple]

you should at least have something on when you have people over but if it just your family and you are always nude around them the go for it around your family but not when you have people over

[ScottishCanary]

I think I would feel a little awkward if I visited a family and they were all nude! Then again my family are really big on decency and all that, not nudists in the slightest!

[vickilynn]

I see your guys point. So just for the new guest, I should put a shirt on or something. Everyone else are used to us. Just today, my mom's BFF came over and all of us had no clothes on. Her family does the same thing. I heard my mom asked her if we should get dressed when we answer the door? Her BFF said just for the new guests. I agree with that. Why should I put anything on for the people who saw me this way for years?

[ashley1995]

I would ask if they would lie you to cover up. It is just a courtesy.
