Semi Nudist during puberty

[Sky Kid]

Should I cover up. I don't wear a shirt at home. I also go shoeless/sockless/underwearless. I wear a pair of loose jeans, no one except my friends know I have on no underwear. It's just today a friend of mom and dad came by and dropped off a package and I answered the door shirtless and she was embarrassed. I don't know why. I know my areolas are huge but I am not fat(flat chest) at all so I was wondering is my body inappropriate or offensive.

[Nnoki]

Well, yeah for many people it is inappropriate to be shirtless, for example I wouldn't open the door shirtless, you don't know who'll be at the other side.
I don't mean you'll always be properly dressed inside your house, as far as you're comfortable, but have respect for other people if they come over.

[Nicky47]

Its your house do what you want its not there place to judge you

I thought it was normal for boys to be shirtless. Oops

Your house and your a male so it was perfectly fine for you to be shirtless. She was wrong. Assuming she really was embarrassed and you didn't read it wrong. I know etiquette and there are some exceptions to you opening the door shirtless. I am always shirtless and when the doorbell rings i look through the peephole. If the person is over 70 i put a shirt on. If the person is from church i put a shirt on. If the person is a stranger and dressed up i put a shirt on (maybe for my parents and i dont wanna offend an important person from parents work). That's pretty much it. Maybe the lady was super religious or thought you were hot and maybe that's why she got embarrassed? Again that's her issue and not yours.

I'd say read the situation. If you look and you don't know the person, put a shirt on. Especially since you aren't wearing underwear, as your pants might ride lower than you think. If you know the person at the door, then keep your shirt off. I know it's your own home, but you also need to take their feelings into account. This is all my own opinion though. I'm just saying I wouldn't answer the door for a stranger if I was shirtless.

[Undieguy2]

I wouldn’t consider that inappropriate for a boy. If you were a girl answering the door topless then that would be appropriate (as much as I’d like that).

[ShineintheDark]

You're only showing socially acceptable body parts to others which is fine. What you do in privacy is your choice.

I wear no shirt all the time. They're coming into MY house.

It is now, but some generations back it isn't, you gotta think what they think
I mean, yeah it is your house and you have the right to be shirtless if you want to, but they also are right to be embarrassed because they were raised differently

[Vegas2933]

Well she's definatly not going to the beach this summer; she'll be up to her neck in shirtless boys. Bottom line, it's your body and your home. Don't let anyone judge you in your own space. :)

Totally agree

[David_rupp]

I think you are to do whatever you want in your house but you should proably put on a shirt when answering the door...

[kro814]

I never wear a shirt at home. It's not big deal for boys.

[Leon2]

i never wear a shirt at home. It's not big deal for boys.

yep, agreed.

[rioo]

You don't need to worry about that. You are male, Shirtless is not big problem. I also not wearing at home.

[jamie_n5]

I don't think you did anything at all wrong. It is common for guys to go topless or in a baggy tank top in the summer. It shouldn't be any more offensive than being in a bathing suit or shorts. Don't let it bother you at all. What you do is your business.

[hairy balls]

I thought it was normal for boys to be shirtless I would not worry about her

[NoName2001]

I don't think its so bad to be shirtless, i do that around the house sometimes. also sometimes i will only wear a tshirt and briefs, or just a tshirt and nothing else going to the shower in the morning

[Happy squirrel]

Well today I walked naked at 11 o'clock to my shed and I am pretty sure my neighbours seen my dick. But I actually enjoyed being naked outside. I wear nothing on when I am home alone so you can call me a semi nudist

It's pretty natural for teens in puberty to experiment with wearing less clothing. I certainly did/do. For some it's permanent and for others they just sort of grow out of it and find their own style. You were at your own house, I think you kind of have the right to dress how you like there.

[allgrownup]

there's nothing wrong or offensive with what your doing. it might be weird to some people but honestly it's their problem, not yours. just do what feels comfortable for you.

[Diable rouge]

I would say it's not offensive, but rather very impolite, unless the weather was very hot or you live near the beach.
