nude among others

[nudemikey]

How do you guys feel about going nude around other people who are clothed?

[nakedjohn]

No problem with it. If they do not want to take their clothes off, its their problem, not mine.

[nunne]

I think most people will tell you that it depends upon the time and place. I know that there are some on the board who feel free to be nude at any time.

In a nudist environment, it does not bother me at all to be nude while others are clothed. I would have to say that the same feeling applies at a nude beach.

Interestingly, however, there have been times when I have been in a shower at the Y and when someone is there who is showering in a bathing suit, I feel strangely naked. It doesn't affect me enough to want to put anything on, but it does just seem a bit funny.

[Lilwilly]

As long as the others are not offended, it doesn't bother me in the slightest to be nude while others are clothed.

[NudistGuy47]

I second what Lilwilly says! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/idea3.gif

[Sailnekkid]

We are in the middle of the summer series wednesday evening sailboat races, the "BEERCANS"... Every wednesday it's turned into a habit of taking a half day off from work, go down, hang out on the boat with the crew and after a few hours of solving all the worlds problems between us and when the rest of the evenings guest show-up, we'll eventually shove off around 5:30. I'm naked MOST of the time when I'm on the boat by-myself doing busywork or whatever even at the marina, but I do wear a speedo if out on deck or on the dock.
A few weeks ago I was down doing just that with two of my best friends. It was the three of us... myself, another male and female. They are both of aware of my clothes-free lifestyle at ALL possible times and are very accepting and unconditional about it though I had never been like that in their presence. I was wearing my speedo and I found it supportive yet "confining and restrictive" and kept having to adjust. I decided there was no more of a perfect moment than right now. Finally, I just took it off and threw it down into the cabin... We never skipped a beat. After a few BRIEF moments of my own self-consciousness, things went right along as usual and the next couple of hours it was as if nothing had happened.
The feeling was without words. It was extremely liberating and in light of the current weather situation in the above average temperatures to be completely clothes free in the presence of friends and enjoying the day felt absolutely wonderful. Now, whenever I'm in that company, there are no suprises. I can be exactly who I am. It was a calculated risk and a big step but I'm glad I took it... http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

[Bare in the Desert]

I have no problem with it. When we were checking out at Mira Vista resort there were several people in the lobby all dressed, some nudists, some not and it was fine. It was odd that I was the only nude person in the room, at a nudist resort.

[kelly99]

It depends on who is dressed. If I do not like or respect the person/people, then I feel out of place. But if they know and respect your life-style (even with the giggles) then I am very comfortable.

[Florida Cracker]

At first, it used to bother me a little. But now I hardly notice. The only time it is a little uncomfortable is when I am the only one nude among a bunch of other nudists. If I am the only one nude in a locker room, then so what? I can't help it if the other guys are so hung up. But when I am the only one at a nude resort, I'm like thinking "Am I the only one who didn't get the memo?" LOL
Florida Cracker

[FireProf]

Doesn't bother me near as much as it did in the beginning. The only time I seem to get a little bothered by being the only one nude around clothed others is when we are at a nudist resort and my wife and I are the only ones naked! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/rolleyes2.gif

[JohnE44]

Its only been a few times when I was the only one nude,but so far no one seemed to care.

[G I Joe]

I could be nude at anytime around anyone and not care--except family: (in-laws; sister; children etc.) They would not approve or understand. What a shame! (Both sets of parents are deceased).

[tinner666]

Kinda embarressed http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/embarassed.gif once when the daughter brought 6 friends over, unannounced and just walked in on us. " Hope you don't mind naked people!" was all she said. I was only one nude. Didn't stop me though!

[johny]

Here am I with the son in a last summer travel, at Italy. Vaccations are not a time to be shy. However, no - seems here I AM dressed - in a small strings.

[johny]

Here I stay on a public road near the San-Marino. However sad to tell, again I am dressed, yet my wear is shading bit more skin.

[johny]

Aha, here are bit more people, the beach near Rimini, thats of course a dressed beach, thatswhy I cannot take them off.

[johny]

Here I am getting an Italian wine samples, big bottles have a name La Bombole (bomb).

[johny]

On a highway I try to be polite and dress SOMETHING.

[johny]

But that is highly unneded at woods we slept in our tents.

[johny]

Ya, this succulent must be supported, to not fall down.

[johny]

But dont fall down mates, what I see by the window at Hungaria. Those children are much less shy as am I... And seems noone dont care, thats in the very center of Budapaszt.

[Fitz1980]

Being naked around clothed people doesn't bother me at all as long as they don't have a problem with it. I have 2 female roommates and we often do see eachother naked (skinnydipping, changing cloths) but they are not as into just hanging around the apt nude like I am. But they don't mind my nudity and I don't mind their being dressed.

[fre2bnude]

Never been nude around others who are clothed, apart from my wife, but I can't imagine I'd be relaxed about it. I've always felt better when fitting in with the majority and if a lot of others were also nude then I'd be quite happy. I suppose that if I knew for certain that the clothed people were totally accepting of me nude then it might make a difference.

[Pac1]

If I am in a "designated nude area, then I have no worries about being naked in front of others

[Fuzzy Nuts]

I was a little provoked when my wife and I went for our first evening meal at a nudist resort in the Caribbean. I was naked and my wife was wearing a sarong as she prefers to in the evening. I looked around and there were 2 other naked males and no naked females. Apparently it was a theme night and you were encouraged to wear some sort of costume - as if I had packed costume clothes for a nudist holiday. This continued for the rest of the holiday and I continued to eat naked. I see that this resort is living up to its newly acquired owners practice from Florida.
Its unbelievable that on this resorts website there are instructions on how they expect people to be nude but of course will give them time to get used to it and if you are not comfortable with eating naked let the establishment know and they can place you in a separate place for eating.

[fre2bnude]

Yes. The place makes a huge difference, and if you're in a designated nudist area then I don't think I'd bother too much who saw me. Non nudists can't complain, if they don't like to see nude people then they shouldn't be there.

[rudedogii]

When I visit Deep Creek Hot Springs I always check to make shure that I am not the only one nude. The people there are a mix of texs, and nudes. Most of the time everbodys cool.
But last Saturday one tex guy was getting loud and complaining to his freind about seeing nude men.
Thats the only problem with being "nude among others".
You never know what to expect in public.

[TVNude]

I have been at the same resort as Hairyballs and wondered what changes the new Floridian owners would make. Last October there werea fair number of "dressed" people, both male and female, at the evening meal. Being at a nudist resort, I was nude every minute - the only time I got dressed was to leave for home and to go diving on a resort certification.

I am afraid that the "theme nights" may change the tenor of resorts like this. In my opinion, it makes it that much more difficult to convince reluctant spouses that nudism does not equal sex.

[OZJames]

Last weekend we had a builder putting a new roof on our BBQ area. It was a warm sunny day and I needed to mow the lawn. I knew he was aware of our nudist tendancies so I asked him if he minded if I stripped. He said he "could'nt car a bugger what I wore or didn't wear".

Off came the clothes http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/beam.gif

[florida-david]

johny, looks like your son is also naked in the one picture, i guess he was raised with you being nude so it does not bother him..

at eastover a few years ago, the people working there are clothed around all the nudist guests. at first it seemed odd, but that feeling quickly disappeared as i got used to the college age workers dressed. It was a bit odd still being naked around these young attractive people. I was naked and coming down the stairs outside and interrupted their break and calmly excused myself and cut right through the middle of the group. they probably think we are wierd, but maybe they will be less body phobic after experiencing all these wacky naked people...

[clebare]

I'm with FirePruf. When at a club, I get a little miffed if most are not nude. After all, why are we there?

[hommenudist]

My wife is not a naturist/nudist but my being one has been very acceptable to her. Ergo, around her 98% of time with her clothed and me nude at home. Have been the only one nude in the locker room and never bothered me; even being a smoothie I was still comfortable. To be nude in the midst of a clothed public would not bother me if the public were not offended. Think I would probably enjoy it.

[Borntobenude]

Doesn't make a difference to me. I've been the only one nude among clothed people before. As long as they're okay with it, and they don't say anything insipid or act stupid or immature, then it's not an issue.

[Live Naked 24/7]

It doesn't matter to me whether others are nude or clothed, but I can see where that might be an issue to some people.

I have a friend who sometimes will intentionally invite textile friends over (while I am visiting naked) just to test their reaction to my lifestyle without having to reveal his nudist sympathies until after their acceptance becomes known.

I'm proud to have 'converted' about a dozen people to a part-time nudist lifestyle.

[sdson]

Hi Johny,

It looks like you had a fun vacation. It's great that you were able to enjoy time spent with your son. Does he participate in nude recreation with you? How did he become interested and what did you do to encourage his participation?

Congratulations.

[Kyle_Emerson]

Modelling underwear means that i spend most of my working day almost completely nude around clothed people so i've adjusted to that. i don't really see whipping off my thong as a huge difference and therefore i don't have a problem being nude around others.
I'm also confident in myself and in my body, so that helps.

Kyle xx

[gymnoboi]

I've been a nudist for so very long that It never occurs to me to feel self conscience about it. I don't mind at all being the only one nude as long as I'm not going to get in trouble for being nude.

[David77]

At Acapulco, Mexico years ago, as I was sleeping late that morning in my hotel room, I was awakened by the laughter of a group of boys. I got up and looked out my balcony and saw a group of pre-teen boys, all nude, on the beach and jumping in the waves and laughing.

[FLBareBear]

I have no problem being the only one nude...Been there, done that, including at a major discount store, a beach, river, park, pool, and my home of course.

[nudebushwalker]

I have been the only one nude - or one of only a few - on many occasions, over the years...

: posing for art classes and groups; nude swimming at college, in backyard pools and local creeks; at the beach; when I'm out bushwalking or mountain biking, and come across other hikers or riders; when I do massage I often work nude; and when I'm getting waxed..

- so I must be reasonably comfortable, by now, with being the only one - or one of a few - nude among a clothed majority, otherwise I wouldn't still be doing this.

http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/smoking.gif

If I am invited to a "Come As You Are.." party, and it's warm enough, I will seriously have to consider that... http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/yes.gif

[NorthVanNudist]

The official nude area at our nude beach is several kilometers in length. A large majority of nudists congregate at the one very popular end, but as I've grown older, I've found the easiest parking and beach access is at the other end. There are official parks signs advising where clothing is no longer required (only a few hundred meters from the car park), and I always undress right at this first sign. As this is the nude/textile marker, there are usually clothed persons there as well. I then walk nude the whole way to the other end, repeating the journey at the end of the day. I make it a point to be open and say "Hi" to everyone I meet, clothed or not, in both directions. Folks are generally pretty friendly (even those just down for "a look"), and have stopped and had conversations with me countless times. These people encompass the range from teens to persons in their seventies, both male and female, alone and in groups. I've never felt self-conscious standing their naked talking to clothed strangers. In the case of "first-time lookers", I believe being open and friendly may help people overcome the initial nerves. I try to think of clothed persons as people who just haven't taken off their clothes yet.

[Odie]

for many years I was uncomfortable being naked in front of anybody. Mainly because of my own insecurity with my own body. Over the last few years I have become more comfortable being naked in front of people. I simply don't care anymore what people think of my body. It is what it is. Oddly though, I'm more comfortable being naked in front of people I don't know than people I know although that is changing too. I guess my friends and partner aren't used to my new attitude so they find it amusing. I recently told a friend out in CA that I went to a nudist resort and not only did she think it was ool, but said she was thinking about going to one as well. I directed to her to this site http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif I'm looking forward to meeting more nudists and spending more time nude at home and at area resorts.

This pretty well sums me up too. Though I suppose that nakedness is just another sort of body state that you get used to eventually.
To begin with it used to get me a little excited to be without clothes and possibly "be seen" by someone. Now it doesn't bother me one way or the other, if they see me, so what.

[New_Nudist_Dr]

love it... http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

[Peter B]

Being naked is being without clothes; no more than that.
It does not change your behaviour.

I have found that, as long as I have been a nudist, that this is the measure of being a "run of the mill" nudist: people behaving as per usual without clothes.

From time to time I come in contact with non nudists, e.g. walking on the beach.
If you assume being guilty, being naked, you get treated accordingly.
Present yourself as self assured and you have won that little confrontation

Nicely said Peter. I agree, if you feel guilty about your nakedness, people pick up on that. Being self assured and confident sends a positive message to all that encounter you.
http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

[Odie]

Nicely put Peter B. I have found that the more comfortable I have become with my physical self, the more confident I am overall. Being nude just feels right.

[Born Nude]

I agree Odie. It is easier in front of people that you don't know, because (I think) they don't have any preconceptions about you, and you don't have any about them.

My partner is fine with my decision to explore my naturism side more, but I still get those odd quizzical looks when my close friends become aware of my CF attitude. I don't go naked in front of them because I know it would make them feel uncomfortable, but I discuss it with them. One friend has become very interested in exploring it at well, and we are thinking about doing a run/walk together later this year. I'm not sure how I'm going to react.

This same guy was working with me in the yard on Saturday, and I got a little more sun than I intended, and the joke of the afternoon was that my "shyness" gave me a tan line (I was wearing shorts while we dug up the yard). Of course, I didn't realize that going nude was an option. I guess I have to look for those opportunities more.

[Centauri4]

At the beginning of this year I came to the realization that I had not been as physically active as I once was and as a result had a slight "pot belly". I was not worried about this as far as other people were concerned, but I had the slight suspicion my wife had noticed and it also seemed my health was being effected. The most uncomfortable moments were bending down to tie my shoes while seated, and I often unconsciously grunted an "Ummm umphf" as I sat back up! This seemed a situation that required immediate action and a shift in attitude towards unacceptability as I figured it would only be harder to change the older I grew!

My wife was starting a healthier eating plan provided by her nutritionist in anticipation of a surgical procedure several months away, so I joined her in following the totally simple plan each day. After two and a half months I lost twenty seven pounds and began feeling both younger and healthier than I have in four or five years. (Gee, I don't remember being less fit at our wedding... the tux fit, I think...)

Today my self image is much improved and I began to notice the return of abdominal definition I had in my twenties! The slight muscle lines leading from the stomach downwards are BACK!!! I could not be happier and this is true inspiration to keep on the heathier course for the remainder of my life! No smoking ever again, regardless of the stress-induced temptation, and little or no carbonated, sugar loaded beverages for me!

As to my willingness to be nude around others, I have arrived at complete comfort with my nude self after some time practicing nudism, and I would LOVE to do an interview on television, in a newspaper, or with a magazine. My interest in and devotion to the positive aspects of nudism may one day be the biggest legacy I will pass on to the world; certainly it will more memorable than the little things I do at the office each day.

However, like the saying, "charity begins at home" I feel increasingly compelled to introduce family members to nudism and sway their opinions on it as a lifestyle as well.

Thanks for asking! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/yes.gif

[mb420s]

Does not bother me to be nude even if others are clothed. In college I never wore clothes in my dorm room or when walking to and from the bathroom. My roommates quickly got used to the fact that I was always nude - in fact two adopted the lifestyle. Even now when friends are over I do not bother putting clothes on.

[CCNude]

Way to go, MB420s. I admire your courage. I was almost that good in college, but not quite.

[MJ_KC]

My approach to being nude is to do it where it is accepted or where I am not likely to encounter anyone. I like to hike nude in remote areas where I would be able to hear someone approaching long before seeing them. I won't get nude at home unless I am alone or if I were to have other nudists over for a visit. I am getting ready to join a local naturist group so I will see how this works out.

Nude beaches are my favorite places and when I went to one the first time, I was nude as fast as I could undress. There was simply no thought of hesitating to take advantage of what I had been trying to find for a long time. I enjoy the freedom of being able to take a long walk in the nude and not needing to bring any clothing along.

[nudeinwa57]

My situation is kind of interesting. I have a non nudist roommate and for quite some time i wore clothes when he was home. Last summer we finally had a short talk and since it's both of our home we can both be comfortable the way we want. Since then I have alwasy been nude at home. At first it felt a little strange sitting on the sofa watching tv with him being clothed and me being nude but now it's great, I have never been more comfortable at home.

[JohnE44]

At the end of last summer I was at a nudest resort and I walk in the office /restorrant to grab a drink I found myself the the only one nude around about10 or so people .It felt a little odd but interesting (fun) tobe the only one nude.

[nudeinwa57]

During this last summer I got the chance to spend a few days at a local nudist club. It was a wonderful experience, not putting on any clothes for a week is great. During this same time there was some construction going on just behind the cabin we were staying and I spent some time watching the work in progress. I can only wonder what the workers were thinking with this nude guy watching. I felt totally comfortable with it though.:)

I was at Paradise Gardens (Cincinnati, OH) on the Saturday of the Labor Day weekend this year. They had a band scheduled to play in the evening and throughout the day band members were busy setting up their stage and equipment. All of them were clothed (at least while I was there) and at first they seemed out of place being the only ones wearing clothing. They seemed to be pretty cool about it though. One of the female band members remarked to the nude woman grilling burgers for lunch, "You're a braver woman than I am." I'm sure she was referring to the potential for spattering grease.

[atalanta]

I spend considerable time in southern Europe. If I have friends visiting with whom I have not been on holiday before I will normally take them for some beach walks on quiet or remote beaches where it is likely that nude people will be seen. If any comment is made, I usually say 'local rules are - no rules' and that I never use swimwear. If we do not meet anyone, when the inclination grabs me I just strip off and head for the sea. Usually friends will join me. Certainly I have never had any adverse comment.

[fuzzy13]

I guess it would depend who they are, my older boys it would not matter as they used to at times when still living at home and single. Wife doesn't nor her family but she has no problem with me. If I knew someone had no problem with nudity then it would not be a problem on my part.

[martinvt]

Don't usually have a problem with being nude with others as long as I am not the only one. I still feel a little funny if I am the only one in the crowd. Luckily this isn't usually the case.

[johnbare]

I'm fairly comfortable being naked whilst others are clothed where nudity is permitted, although I wouldn't want to be the only nude person in a crowd.

[almclatchie]

As long as it doesn't bother anyone else I would rather be nude all the time but most people I have contact with are very clothes-minded, so I cover-up for them. Does not bother me to be the only nude in a group and I long for the day when it is acceptable to be nude anywhere you want.

[nakeduni]

It doesn't bother me. It has happened many times, often enough where I can hardly remember the last time it happened. The last time was fairly recent when I went to Orient Beach via cruise ship. When I got there, I stripped down and walked south to the Orient Club. Very few nudes walking on the beach or under the umbrellas. It's a nice beach.

[JeepNude]

I have been the only 'nude' in a group. I didn't give it a second thought. Nobody made me uncomfortable, so I didn't have to be.

One time, wife and I went to our club and got nude as soon as we exited the Jeep. We walked toward the main pool area, and wife noticed that so far, we were the only nude people in the whole place. I looked around and she was right! I thought 'oh, no... Did they sell the place and change it to a textile resprt or something??'. We started heading back to the Jeep to run over to the the office when I saw someone that we knew (a resident). Wife aksed what was going on. She said that there were workers there working on the resort pool systems and some people felt uncomfortable looks from one of them, so word got around and everyone dressed. I said 'phooey! I walked back toward the pool area to see the workers about this. I walked over to their work area and asked if everything was going O.K. We had some small talk and I left. Nobody looked at me weird, so I think everyone was over-reacting. After they saw me nude, some more people got nude too. Since it was getting close to noon and warming up, they must have been glad to do so.

One of the pool guys asked me if he could take the tour and hang around a while. I introduced him to the proper office staff and he spent the rest of the day nude at the resort! So, the 'weird look' was probably him wishing he could be nude, not lust as was mistaken. Last I heard, he and his wife ended up joining the club.

[Rick_42]

"How do you guys feel about going nude around other people who are clothed?"

I haven't been in that situation yet so I can't say for sure. A year ago I probably would have felt uncomfortable but now I tend to think it wouldn't be a big deal.

During a recent visit to the doctor I had a prostate exam and as he left the room so I could clean up and get dressed, he made a comment about making sure he closed the door so I wouldn't be embarrassed if someone passed by in the hallway. My first thought was, "So what if someone sees me naked? It's no big deal."

[Croydon]

I have been nude in clothed company. Believe it or not, at a nudist resort.

On my first visit to Cypress Cove, my friend and I decided to have dinner at the Lakeside Restaurant. Because we were at a nudist resort, we went nude.

Once there, everyone was clothed. He and I looked at each other and said, "huh, what is going on."

We decided to go ahead and eat in nude. I must say, I was VERY VERY uncomfortable. I felt like a fish out of water. I hurriedly ate my meal so I can leave.

I've heard of that happening to people at some resorts. It doesn't seem logical to dress for dinner at a nudist resort but maybe the idea is that being nude is too "informal" for dinner. Maybe this is something that should be mentioned when you check in or maybe there should be designated nude and textile sections.

Something similar happened to me several years ago at Cypress Cove's restaurant. I don't recall if I was the only one nude, but nearly everybody was wearing clothes. While I thought it was kind of strange I did not let it bother me. My position was and is that if I am paying to stay at a nudist resort, I am going to spend my time nude, where allowed.

Sometimes at the optional beaches it's a little weird with lurkers.

[JeepNude]

I have been the only person nude in the restaurant of a resort. Although, I didn't notice I was the only nude, someone made a comment to me saying something like 'Looks like you're the only one with enough guts' or something like that. Then, I looked around and said 'Yea, sucks for them!'.

Didn't bother me much at all. Some people got nude after a while, so I started a trend.

The only time I was ever made to be uncomfortable is when visiting some friends (nudists) and was hanging out nude when some of their non-nudist friends showed up. I didn't get the 'memo' that I shoudl dress, so it was a mad-dash on behalf of my hosts to trow clothes at me, and they yelled 'put these on, quick!'. Ha ha!!

[Laura Lopez]

If no one feels offended I have no problem with it. It's a matter of respect.

[NudeJanice]

I have been the only one nude with my husband, my brother and his wife on holidays. It took me a while to get used to it but it was nice. The weirdest was sitting down to eat a meal together, I felt rather self-conscious about my breasts then - but I would certainly do it again.

[papanudist]

I have been the only one nude among friends and family numerous times in my home and inlaws homes. If they have no problems it doesn't bother me.

[JeepNude]

WAIT, wait!!! I just thought of one!!!

Many years ago, I visited my sister and her new husband in their small, but comfortable home. Wife and me went over for some dinner and to watch a movie and see their newborn. Animals all seem to flock to me, and the cat did just that, glued to my lap. Well, at some weird point, there was a noise outside from a passing car, and the cat freaked out and had a small 'accident' on my lap. I immediately got up and took my soiled shorts and t-shirt off. Being in a state of commando, I was now nude except for socks and shoes. My sister took the clothes and put them in the washign machine, and the evening continued as normal. I was the only nude for dinner and the movie. Even after my clothes were finished in the dryer, I didn't redress until it was time to leave.

Nobody made any comment or took any notice. Obviously my sister (raised in the same nude house as me) had no problem, but this was her new husband's first nude exposure (so to speak). Later on, at some other gatherings when it was hot in the summer, her husband would get nude as well. He never really became a full-fledged 'nudist', but would be nude if it was super hot and everyone else was nude.

Actually, I've never been nude around people who were clothed until two Sundays ago during the Superbowl. Some friends of our were hosting a great party. At one point, another couple showed up whom I didn't know. Apparently, he's a nudist, but she either isn't or was trying to get comfortable with the situation. She never seemed to mind that everyone else except her boyfriend was nude, and no one seemed to mind that she was clothed. We all had a great time and she seemed really comfortable with everyone. I can only hope that we all set a good example, she found out what we were all about, and that she'll become a nudist too.

I have been nude among clothed people and don't usually have a problem with it. However, if I know that they are disgusted with my nudity then I am uncomfortable. When I went to one nudist resort everyone was nude except for one of the staff members and I thought to myself that she must be uncomfortable to be the only textile person there.

I am in college now and when I was in my first year, only having recently adopted the nudist lifestyle, I asked my roommate if he had a problem with me not wearing clothes in the room. He said no. I think he may have been uncomfortable at first but it did not bother me in the least when he was dressed and I was naked. I will say at some point during the first semester he started sleeping nude and eventually began to hang out in the room nude. A positive step for nudism.

LOL When I was in college stuff like this would happen all the time. I remember trying to get used to being nude so I was reading my textbook nude in our dorm. Well my roommate came back earlier than I thought, and brought friends, so there I was nude in front of the whole group. At first I was shaken, but got used to it later. College is the time for trying new stuff and having new experiences anyways! :sneaky:

I agree and now that we are in our second year of sharing the same room, Sean and I never wear clothes in our room or when going to the bathroom. Although in the beginning our friends would sometimes comment, now no one says anything. Instead they know when they come to our room, both of us will likely be naked.
