What do you make of this?

Seems like there are very few details to back up the statements in this article, so I must confess to being a bit skeptical.

I always find it interesting where they come up with these statistics. When they come up with these, how many people did they actually poll? Actually I don't iron, but if I did, rest assured that I'd be naked. Guess you know which percentile I'd fit into, eh? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Just recently I've started taking a shower naked. Yes, totally nude! I've even ditched my swimming trunks when I'm in the shower.

And to my surprise it was no big deal.

Way To Go Stu!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif There may be hope for you yet!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I felt the same way after attending a nudist club for the first time... it was no big deal.

But getting back to ironing... did they happen to mention how many people actually iron these days? I'd bet it's 40% of a small number that iron nude. lol

Hearty congratulations, Stu.

Ironing nude has a special meaning to me. Many years ago I found that my wife had nudist tendencies. One day I came home early and found her ironing in the buff. In response to my inquiry, she confessed that she cleaned the house nude whenever I was gone. After that time, we both started to do more things around the house in the nude.

This finally lead to nude sunbathing in the backyard and then social nudity with strangers and finally nudity with friends.

This could become interesting. I thought ironing was the one thing nudists didn't do naked, or at all. I mean what clothes would there be to iron? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

stu, are you joshing with us? Are you actually telling us that you wore something while showering?

Well, I guess I should say welcome to the world of those who shower and bathe naked.

As for ironing naked, I would say that any chore that makes you work up a sweat, makes you hot, or can be dirty or messy should be done au naturel. Just today, I cleaned the tub sans clothes and it is much better than doing it with clothes.

Bob,

Much to my wife's irritation I did used to shower in swimming trunks. Then I'd get partially dressed and wash the private parts of my body with a sponge and washbasin. But that's all in the past - I'm now totally ininhibited (when alone!).

Ironing in the nude isn't something I'd seriously consider, tho. Bear in mind I have a wife and kids that could walk in at any moment and the sight of me in the buff could give them - and me - a heart attack.

Remember, "there are three types of lies. Lies, dammed lies and statistics".

Or, "Statistics are like bikini's. What they reveal is suggestive but what they conceal is vital"!

If you really want to know how to use statistics, read the book "How to Lie with Statistics". Sorry, don't remember the author's name right now.

40 percent of Americans iron when naked ...

The other 60 percent let the ironing pile up forever.

.......Or just don't iron /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Hi everyone! I iron in the nude, it is the only way to do it.

To Hoosier Mic, I sent you a private message that you haven't read. I would appreciate an answer if you you would't mind.

It's a well-known fact that 63.78 per cent of all statistics are made up. And the rest of them appear in press releases from companies trying to sell something.

It doesn't matter whether the figure's real or not - Niagara Spray Starch could be certain of their press release being quoted just about everywhere, which is called free publicity. And then everyone talks about it and wonders which of their neighbours irons in the nude, and then they all buy the spray starch when they go shopping.

Come on guys - wake up and smell the bull***t!!

[missouriboy]

Hey, I never iron in the nude.

Well, that's because I never iron. But I have seen missourigirl do it many times. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

So that's FIFTY percent of the people at OUR house. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I always iron my uniform while nude in the morning !

Stu <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Stu: I'm sure that you realize that regularly wearing a bathing suit while showering put you at the opposite extreme from body acceptance. It's encouraging that you now shower nude and that you describe yourself as being totally uninhibited while alone.

How did this come about? Do you give any credit to your participation in clothesfree forums?

Is there any situation where you would now feel OK about being nude in the presence of another person?

I do iron nude. But I also do all other household chores nude as well, including dishwashing, vacuuming, etc. I do as many yard chores nude as possible, mowing, weedwacking, etc. but sometimes it is necessary to cover up. I just don't distinguish, I mean, I prefer to be nude no matter what, so if anything is going to get done, I'll be doing it nude most of the time.

I'm no statistician; otherwise I would be curious about how many people Niagara Spray Starch polled, their sampling techniques, the exact wording of the questions they asked...Let's see some hard data.

Did anyone else notice that the article, again, confused nudity with sex? In the first sentence, no less. "Ironing clothes may be a lot sexier than previously believed, because many Americans do it in the nude." Arrrrrgh! When will the mass media learn that nudity isn't just for sex?

Stu <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Ironing nude isn't too bad. Frying bacon while nude, on the other hand....

STU, what the hell , have you got antlers and three members or what, you are not a freak, your kids haven't seen you nude, or you haven't bathed your kids, were they wearing beach wear. Grow up, we all have bodies, and from time to time we see them naked, if you make it bad it will be bad, if you don't make it bad it won't be bad, thats as simple as it gets. you do the math.

Don't be so quick to judge, Ratman! After all, Stu may live next door to a Nuclear Power Plant disguised as a K-Mart. He may have dwelt there for years, all the while having no idea what those Blue-Light Specials were doing to his body!

WOW! I'm shocked at a couple of things. One I'm immensely intrigued at the "Showering with swimming trunks on" scenario? However, I suppose it's none of my business, and should should not question the origins of such a ritual. HEck knows, I have my odd habits (like humming etc.).

Second, NOONE IRONS? This blows me away...I used to think EVERYONE ironed...like it was part of daily life like brushing your teeth etc. But many people, I'v learned, do the ole' fold or hang up the clothes when they come out of the dryer. I guess I'm just a lazy/un-domesticated single dude, because I usally just throw stuff in drawers and such. And even when I hang them up I still am uneasy with the amount of wrinkles a shirt or pair of pants have. I've just made myself accostomed to the nicely pressed look.

Finally, It blows me away that some people would actually freak at the thought of ironing in the nude. That is the most natural thing for me to do. I sweat alot, so when I get out of the shower, I do my drying then I finish everything else I gotta do, like ironing, brushing the teeth taking my vitamins etc, while still in the buff. The hear from the iron and just the movement of pressing the cothes is a pain in the hiney and can cause me to sweat, so I might as well do it in the nude and stay as comfy as possible, until I'm ready to get dressed. Oh well...to each his own I guess.
