using indoor heaters during the cold winter months

[Backyardswimmer]

How warm do you guys keep your house warm during the cold winter months?Like for an example do you leave the thermomerter heater 75F/18C?& If so is it warm enough like to be nude indoors and not have yor feet cold?I'm just wanting to know just to get in idea how warm the house should be in order to enjoy the comfort of being in the nude, in our house.

With the high cost of energy in Canada I have given up trying to keep house warm enough in winter so that I can remain naked. For comfort clothed-sake we keep the house at about 71 but this is not warm enough for me to be comfortable naked. I think you would need house around 74 or 75 but I dont want to end in poorhouse.

One other solution would be to put some fat on but I worked to hard to take it off.

Therefore I just dream of summer coming!

And by the way 18 Celsius is down in low 60's F.

I can be comfortable nude for several hours at a time at 71°. After a hot shower or session in the hot tub 70° is fine. However we keep our house at 68° to save on the gas bill, so not much nude time in winter.

18 Degrees Celsius = 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

We keep our house at 72. My wife is naked almost all the time, but I'm to skinny to stay warm at that temp. In my little office, I have a milkhouse heater so I can at least be naked while on the computer! In the winter I normally just freeball with flannel pants or sweats and a shirt. We do sleep nude all year though, and usually eat breakfast naked.

I am the same.....and I live further north and so the heating system has to work harder up here. I also do not like house at 75 or so at night. It is too hot to sleep, so if you have it that warm for lying around in the evening it will be too warm to sleep.

Sheesh, there is no pleasing some people eh!

I wear loose comfy sweats around the house in the winter.

We kept our house at 55 F in the winter for the years we lived in NJ, but it was often warmer than this due to a wood stove keeping the basement at near 80 F, where our family room was. Our oil heat bill for hot water plus house heat FINALLY went just above $400/yr for about the last 4 years there. Here in Va, after living 10 years in hot Singapore and Baton Rouge, we crank the thermostat up to 60 F and wear warm clothes inside the house. Outside, I'm often naked in the afternoons when the temperature gets above about 40-45 F with the sun out. Still bowling in shorts at the bowling alley because they seem to keep it up near about 70 F.

I'm sitting at the pooter with a little electric heater running beside my chair. When I retire to the TV room, I'll cover with a blanket. Our electric bill last month was $135 in this all electric house (heat pump for heat).

Indoor temp here 71-72. Warm enough to be nude.

Right now it is 71.8 and quite comfy.

I like to keep it between 75 and 80 when I'm up but sleep with around 65. I don't like a lot of covers so 65 is just right.

I like it around 78 during the day but around 72 at nite. Since my wife isn't a nudist, the temp. gets turned down to 74 sometimes during the day. I tell her I look forward to selling the house and heading south where I don't need to worry about the winter temps.

We don't live a nude lifestyle -- but we keep ours at 70F during the day. At night - before we go to bed, we blast it up to 72F and let it go down overnight to around 64F. Then at 6 am it comes up to 72 and at 7 we "level it" to 70F.

We have a programmable thermostat. With gas-forced-hot-air -- many forget that the BLOWER uses a lot of energy -- so by allowing the temperature to decline during the night keeps the heat from coming on.

We also have a pellet stove to heat our basement family room, and have noticed that when we have that running the heat doesn't come up as often.

First of all, it's summer.

My house doesn't have a heating system, nor an air conditioner. When it gets really cold, there's a fireplace. When it freezes, it's uncomfortable, but then it's uncomfortable wherever you are, too - the price of coffee goes up.

The Indians who lived in this area wore nothing at all, all year round. Given the altitude, it's cold at night; the usual way of dealing with that was a small fire near the hammocks, that was fed all night.

That may sound inconvenient, but keeping the fire fed was women's work. Perhaps they got used to it.

I keep it about 72 when I am not sleeping and that's comfortable to stay nude. Like others though, I like it cooler when I am sleeping. I sleep nude (under nice warm duvet), but turn the heat back to about 64. Thankfully, I have very warm, steam heat for the winter, otherwise, I don't know what I would do about being nude in the winter months.

I do turn the heat up to about 74 when I'm able to relax in the nude. But turn it bach down to about 68 at night. I like it cold when I sleep, even thou I sleep nude.
