Answering the door nude

[kelly99]

Hi, I'm new to this site but I've read back a few months and it's Great. In response to "Florida in the nude" on Oct.1--done it, been there--20 yrs. ago. I was 30 back then. For the umpteenth time I had Jehovah's at the front door. I live nude and alone in the country and can easily tell when a car comes in the yard. I had always seen them coming before and put clothes on BUT this time I'd had it! Two women(chubby 20sh blond and her 40sh dark haired friend/co-hort)knocked and instead of screaming or getting mad, like some others do, I calmly and nakedly opened the door. The younger one immediately looked toward the heavens while the older one looked straight at the Devil! She asked me to put on some pants. I said "No thanks, I'm a nudist and quite comfortable the way I am." They both took one last peek and left. So help me, Jehovah, in 20 years they never came back! I don't like fictitious stories so I don't write them.
As for dogs, I have a lab/cocker and she doesn't seem to mind my nudity. She's nude too, after all. When a lady friend visits, she does sense something and disappears.
Regarding the laws about outdoor nudity, I stay in. Summer--misquitoes and Winter--I live in Qu?bec and that's called the -30? law.
I have nothing against any religions. But hey, the majority of people are nude endless hours a week. Even sexless people gotta shower sometime. Besides going to church 1 hour a week do the majority practice religion as much?
Glad to know y'all, Kelly

Our neighbour and good friend came over early one day when my wife was still in bed and I was nude. She let herself in as she often does and so I just greeted her and asked her up to the kitchen for a coffee. She has seen me nude before, skinny dipping so I thought nothing of it. After about a minute, she just casually sais "Oh go put something on" - so I did. No fuss, no problem.

Lilwilly,

I keep my doors locked so no one can walk in, but if I didn't and a neighbor walked in, I would tell him/her that it's my house, and I don't HAVE to get dressed.

I don't answer the door nude, although I do look to see who it is first. If someone were to walk in uninvited, then they would have to tolerate my nudity since I'm in my own house and didn't ask them in.

Yeah! Sometimes I am working in my garden, the neighborous dog comes from his house, something about kilometer or bit less, and at the beginning I really was little bit afraid the dog MAY THINK my **** is a special very tasty sort of sausage specially designed for feed the dogs like him... /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

But my afraidness came untrue. Dog perfectly recognize the big difference of sausage me have at hands to regale him and something similar but be alive body part.

Now I never afraid after initial test period. This dog had been allways friendly.

I have been seen nude by my neighbors a few times; they know I?m a nudist. There was one time when I was relaxing in a hotel room before getting ready for dinner; my wife just stepped out to grab a few postcards from the store in the lobby, there was a knock on the door so, thinking my wife had forgot her key-card I opened the door naked to find the maid standing there. See looked me in the eye, then looked down, then looked up, then looked down and said (to my penis): Turn-down service. Although I do not wish to offend anybody, this was the first time I did not feel embarrassed to be myself.

I have only answered the door fully nude once, when just finishing a shower- still wet- toweling off. It was a friend, and I let him in, finished toweling dry while in conversation with him. I made no apologies for my nudity and he didn't seem to expect any. I think I was still nude when he left, if I remember correctly.

I also have answered the door in both briefs or boxers (gone outdoors plenty of times in boxers, day or night). Once answered the door when awakened from a nap by a college boy selling books or magazines, talked to him a few minutes wearing only briefs- he didn't blink an eye at that. There are a lot of people who don't have a problem with things like that.

Twice ... as soon as the family is gone off to school and work, off come the clothes. Over the past year or so I started not bothering to have shorts or coverup anywhere near me. Most mornings I'm able to delay my departure for work and snatch some extra nude-time.

The first time I was working in my basement office and there came a knockin' at the backdoor, *directly* at the top of the stairs. Frantically searching for anything to coverup with and finding nothing, I boldly and casually started up the stairs - under the direct gaze of one of my customers. She quickly turned away and I grabbed my robe and let her in. Neither of us apologized or commented ...

Second time was about a month ago - was starting to hurry around to get myself to work when someone started on the front door. Being in a hurry I just went and opened it standing off to the side. It was a meter reader and before I knew it he was inside and heading for the meter. I think when I opened the door to warn him, he took that as a 'come-on-in'. I mumbled something about getting in or out of the shower, but he was well on his way out of the room so don't think he even heard me. I suspect I was surely not the first nude customer he'd ever encountered /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I'm ready to answer the door more - call it empirical data gathering on the casual attitudes of the general population towards nudity.

I haven't answered the door totally nude, yet anyway. If I see someone drive in the driveway, I have time to grab something. Sometimes I throw on pants and tshirt, sometimes, just long tshirt. Had a guy and his two sons, not really neighbors, but have spoken to them a couple times, stop by unannounced once recently, I just grabbed the tshirt, they did look at me funny. I don't care about that, as they were not invited. I wouldn't actually answer the door nude to a stranger. I agree that we should be able to do so without repercussion.
One other time, I was out back washing the car in my natural state. The UPS man came to the front door, I dashed thru the back door to grab a cover up, he may have seen me then. All I could grab was a robe, he looked at me funny too. Maybe I just look funny. What the hell. Life is short, enjoy it, folks.

[Snoboy]

I love the way you express yourself, FNS. I fully agree with you. As I have said earlier in the thread, I to feel that my home is my inner-sanctum and do not make a real fuss to cover up if someone shows up unannounced. Enjoy life...eat chocolate...and be nekkid when possible...because life is shorter than you think. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

If the old saying, concerning news articles, remains true;"If a dog bites a man, that's not news but if a man bites a dog then it's news.) Nudity must becoming more common, or at least fewer people are complaining about it, which is just as good as accepting it. At least I hope so.

Hi!
I remember my mum told about ~1930, when here in Riga lived one extremely influential personality, proffessor Endzelins, the corner-stone constitutor of Latvian grammar system (if honestly that system is extremely complicated and only philologists like it). This proffessor was active nudist and never wear clotches at home. The label on his door stated - proffessor Endzelins have a guest time at thursdays from 17 till 19. And if someone ringed other time he allways opened doors as he was in the moment. For surprised guests he explained that if they want him to see in all glory of clothes, they should choose the guest time, but if not, he is a busy man and dont even to think about spending a time for unneeded politcorrectness.

I have answered the door nude twice. The first time was at my old house, after a long bicycle ride. I got home and jumped in the shower, then remained nude and went into the living room (where the front door was located), and sat down on the couch with lunch and caught a few innings of baseball. I quickly fell asleep, and after a few minutes, I awoke to a knock on my front door. I had to answer it, since the person at the door could hear the TV on. The problem was that the only cover-up was beyond the front door, so I walked past the door and grabbed a towel to cover up with. When I turned around with the towel, SHE was watching me through the screen door. I covered up with the towel as I headed back toward the door. She was going around getting signatures for a pettition, and I agreed to sign it, so as I opened the screen door and reached for the clip board, the towel fell off, and I stayed that way until she left. She didn't bat an eye the whole time.

The second time happened at my new house, while relaxing after getting home from work, two guys came around selling something, again I was left without any cover, so I went for it, partly hiding behind the door, which made it clear that I didn't have anything on, since you could clearly see my hip. One of the guys asked if they should come back at a better time, I told him that I am usually this way at home, and that now was fine. He then continued with his sells pitch, which didn't work, because I didn't buy what he was selling.

Both times ended up being good experiences, without any problems. Would I do it again, yes! I didn't get any type of "rush" out of answering the door nude, but it is my house, and I do get a "rush" from the freedom of being comfortable in it!

[Snoboy]

Nytro, excellent comments. I look forward to more thoughts from you in the future. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

We have yet to answer the door nude but along those lines have had several repair people over to do some work and have always gotten dressed when they arrive.

We have a house cleaning service and I mentioned to my wife that I wish we could just remain nude while they are cleaning. She replied, I wondered why you haven't asked them about that already. These two young ladies may not see nudism quite the same as we do so I just elect to get dressed when they do come over. Maybe I'll get the courage to talk about it with them when we get to know them better. /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I answer the door all the time nude, except I don't fling the door wide open. I simply "hide" behind the door. I feel that anybody who knocks on my door un-expectedly, then get to have the door answered by me who is not expecting anyone. I don't expose myself, but I don't hide the fact that I am not wearing any clothes. By doing that I have found that many sales people will not ask to come in and peddle their products or services; They simply pitch a quick demo, take their rejection and move on.
I recently had my garbage disposal go out and had to have a plumber come and install a new one. When I made the appointment I made it clear to the plumber that I was a nudist and if that offended him, to let me know and I would be clothed. To my surprise the plumber chuckled and told me that he and his wife were nudists, too. Come to find out we had seen each other at Shangri La (Phoenix), but had never actually met. Now I have new friend and a repairman to call when I need something fixed.

P.S. I did answer the door nude when the plumber came to repair my disposal.

[Ed Hill]

The Orkin guy who comes to spray my house each month has seen me nude and knows that I prefer the nude lifestyle. He caught me a couple of times. Then when we were moving into this house, I was painting the day he came to spray, and I NEVER wear clothes when I paint inside. So I just stayed that way while he sprayed and I painted. He is due tomorrow morning, and as I never dress until I leave the house, I guess I'll answer the door nude.....again!

I did ask him if it bothered him, and his response was that he wished he could work nude!!

I think before you decide to answer the door nude, you'd best be sure the person at the door is not a child. In Egal v. State of Florida, 469 So.2d 196 (Fla. 2d. DCA 1985) a conviction for committing a lewd and lascivious act in the presence of a female child under the age of 14 years was affirmed. Mr. Egal transacted a girl scout cookie purchase from a Brownie scout in that mode. The court affirmed 2-1.

[aunaturelone]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Mr. Egal transacted a girl scout cookie purchase from a Brownie scout <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>That has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of.

What was he thinking? Unfortunately it probably really WAS lewd or he wouldn't have pulled a no brained stunt like that.

[nudeM]

Mr. Egal should've had the book thown at him. He should have excused himself and dressed decent, especially around Girl Scouts. Just standing and making a purchase, nude all the while, is not appropriate. Even if he was a die-hard nudist, there are times that you just cannot practice it. He, in my mind, crossed the line.

[davejenn]

My wife and I have never answered the door nude, but I work for a very large builder and run the warranty department, I have seen so many home owners nude or partialy nude, many are open about it and try to apoligize some say nothing at all, because of strict rules at work I am not aloud to discuss personal lives with my clients, but what I do say is, don't worry Ma'am/Sir this is your home and please feel free to remain comfortable. Most of them put on some type of cover or leave the room if I must remain in the home for an extended period of time. I have had offers to join them while working on their homes but I must decline, it is not profesional and my job is very important to me. Unfortunatly this is a law-suit happy world and the risk, even after working hours (with my wife at my side)would be a bad idea. We will remian nudists at home or with close friends in other places.

[Bob S.]

Egal vs State of Florida was not about nudity, but about the defendant having the child touch him.

Read the appelate court's decision at
http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:ysM0iJG89Y0J:www.3dca.flcourts.org/3d99-3123.pdf+Egal+v.+State+of+Florida&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

If that addy is not right, go to Google and type in Egal vs State of Florida and click in the first option (view as html).

In my opinion, answering the door naked is risky. Unless you know who's on the other side, put something on.

Bob S.

[fanrlawyer]

Bob S., Your link led to another Florida criminal appeal, Farrell v. State, which involved the victim's touching the accused. Farrell cites Egal for the principle that a conviction can stand even without any physical contact. Mr Egal only answered the door nude and bought cookies (under a fake name), without touching the Brownie or himself or saying anything lewd.

I had a bit of a close call today. Near late morning while I happen to be surfin' this site, a knock came at my door.
As with most Sundays I didn't bother to get dressed until I had somewhere to go.
My daughters, becoming more independent all the time threw back the blind on the front door to see who was there. It was a teenage girl and she looked right into the house and probly saw me get up from the computer.
I told my daughter to close the blind and yelled at the door to hold on a second. I threw on a pair of sweatpants and went to the door. She was selling some candy for some youth outreach program. I told her money was tight and to come back during the week. She did look as if she had seen a ghost, but said nothing. Hopefully I am just being paranoid that she actually saw anything but yet again I have to explain to my daughters about answering the door when I am not dressed. /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[NudeAl]

Ah well, it helps to get the blood circulating getting a shock like that. You should have bought a few candy bars or whatever just to keep her happy though. Youth out reach program huh? As long as you weren't reaching out too!LOL /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[RIVERRAT]

I can personaly relate to this, Iam nude almost all the time at home so some non nudist are going to get a surprise from time to time at the door, It's happenned to me maybe 3 or4 times. I tell everyone to call before comming down, then there are less surprises. I don't have a problem but they may have. I don't like surprises, but an unsuspecting visiter may, I guess thats the way it is. Don't come to my door without a warning, I have seen people comming to the door and thrown something on, I feel this is a compromise, but I do it if I get the chance.I like being nude at home so to bad for you, you have invaded my space you take what you get.
