Absolutly, YES

Last year, when I decided to go nude outside, I called two of my neighbors, the ones on each side of my house, and asked them if I would offend anyone if I went nude. They both did not object. So just to give it a try, I did go nude and to my surprise, nobody said a thing. Now the neighbors who live behind me is a different story. I have not made contact with them yet. I'm sure one of them has seen me, but the other ones haven't yet. Maybe I'll go over and talk to them also. So at this time, I have a 50/50 approval from my neighbors.

Yes, it would have been less expensive for us if they were more accepting of nudity. We put up block walls to ensure our privacy...$45 a ft X 350 ft. ... you do the math.

We sometimes forget we don't have clothes on when we do our daily chores and go out into the back. We have been seen nude by the kids on both sides and the woman on one side. Nothing ever said. Like many of us, they were more embarrased then we were.

Not only would it be easier for us if the neighbors were more accepting of nudity but we'd have some more nudist friends to hang out with. Make neighborhood block parties alot more fun. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

Life would be so much easier, granted. But how should we go about this? Indeed, if the neighbors are O K with nudity, great! However, if the neighbors aren't O K then it could be opening quite the proverbial "can of worms". This is the dilemma I'm faced with now. I've got a 6.5' privacy fence around my back yard, but all of the houses in my area are off the grade, and several of them are two story and many have small children. I'm in a rural subdivision (in the heart of a big city, no less) so everyone around kind of knows everyone else, so if I say anything then word will definitly spread quickly through the neighborhood. This could be a wonderful step in the right direction for me, or it could make the rest of my time on this block miserable. My wife and daughter don't want to risk it, and even I am still undecided. I've got a 30 year mortgage, so I plan on being here a while. I'd really love to work naked in my back yard, but I really don't need legal harassment right now. Talk about a catch-22. Oh well, maybe I could....no probably not......or maybe.......

Kenny G: I can see your "catch 22", especially with the neighbors who have kids. All you can do is just ask if they would be offended. If they said it's okay, then you are in the clear, but if they said no, well, you get the picture. Luckily, my neighbors do not have small kids. The youngest kid of all my neighbors is 17 years old, and will graduate this year. Good luck, but you do have to take the ititiative and ask, which would be a lot better than getting caught without any notice. I doesn't hurt to ask.

I just go about my business, which is usually doing stuff around the house nude. None of my neighbors have complained. Did this in Baton Rouge and do it here in Charlottesville area.

Neighbor on one side in Baton Rouge used to call when she had a party. Her daughter didn't though. I stepped out onto the back deck of my barn and saw her whole cheerleading troup next door. There was a fence in between, but from my deck I could see them, and they could see me, probably chest area.

I made the mistake once of going to the mailbox at night when my neighbor here was having a party for some kids. A car came in. All I could do was go over to the side of the driveway and turn my back. Some kids in the car yelled, "He's nekkid." Heard them later telling their grandmother (my neighbor) about it. Their voices were quite loud. The current neighbor who bought from her put in her own driveway. Yeah!!!

I have property in the country, and can't be easily seen. However, my neighbors do know about and accept my lifestyle.
If your ever in my area, stop by and say HI! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

I live on 40 acres and there is only one neighbor's house in view. It's a couple 100 yards away so they couldn't tell what I was wearing anyway. The lot line is only about 40 feet away and sometimes their kids come pretty near. As I am always nude in my hot tub and sometimes the garden, I guess I should talk to them about it. I have no idea what they would think about it.
