I'm living with my girlfriend, and her two flatmates who i know quite well. They both seem to be relaxed about nudity although I havent gone as far as to ask them if they mind seeing me naked occasionally. Its difficult to ask that sort of thing without it being interpreted as sexual in some way. any advise? neither of them drink...

Why not buy yourself a robe and put it on after an early evening shower or wear it when you get up in the morning. See what they say about it. Maybe you could talk to your girlfriend and ask her to talk with them.
Or you could even use April Fools' Day as an excuse to start. Just come out where your roommates are naked and not notice. You could play it off as an April Fool's prank if it backfires.
Have fun you lucky dog!

Perhaps I'm a little more bold than you, but I would say, "I was wondering what you three think about nudity. I'm a nudist and prefer being nude. Would that be a problem for any of you? I assure you it's not sexual, and I won't do it if any of you object." Or something to that effect. Good luck, for lack of a better word to use.Comment

First off, I'm going to assume that you are a male but what are the other flatmates? Guys can be nude in front of guys MUCH easier then females and not feel odd.
Being in the same flat there are bound to be times when you are seen nude, that's unavoidable. It's only a matter of time before you're caught nude. When it happens, don't freak out, just be quite open about it. If you are at easy, so will they be.
I would "MATTER-OF-FACTLY" bring up the subject and see what the concenous is.Tell them, matter-of-factly, that you prefer to be nude. Answer all questions openly and to the point. If you hold back or blush you suggest shame and all you're trying to accomplish is COMFORT (key-word here).
I wouldn't suggest showing them what the stork saw until you discussed the subject upfront. If you do and they're offended, you lost your only chance.Comment

Sound advice Stevedaoust. I recommend being yourself and not forcing it but easing into the nudity. Occasional glimpses perhaps and then less concern for covering up. Perhaps plan to be in the kitchen nude when your flatmates are coming in and make little or no issue of your nudity with them. Casual nudity will make it easier for all concerned. That was my experience with roommates in the past and it soon became a non-issue...but then my roommates were guys so you need to exercise caution and not signal discomfort to the flatmates if they are females. Use wisdom and everything should go well. Have a terrific week. I am on spring break and thankful for the much needed rest. Get NEKKID! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]Comment

well I told her - well, I decided to have a nude day so i warned her incase it offended her but she wasnt bothered. it doesnt seem to be a problem but I am worried about her just being polite to me, so I'm not 'thrusting' it in her face (think cleanly [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] so all's well and good, it looks like i've started a trend in my flat now, everyone is wearing less and less!!
fantastic

Congrats on the TREND you may be setting!! Hope it works to the fullest. I started nuding in front of my roomate and he never took to it, and a group of us even went to an un-official nude beach and NOTHING.
I DO have some small questions STILL.
"SHE"? Your girlfriend? How about the OTHERS? Are they female also? Have they seen you open up?
Not to drag this on and on but I love hearing detailed success stories, not only for me but many can learn from this also. Imagine, you may be more then an immediate trend-setter by your story.

I like Jon-Marc's answer and add the following:
Even if your girlfriend's flatmates are OK with nudity, they may be embarrassed in situations where they have invited their friends over.

Not in my case - I don't make a point of being naked, especially when friends are round. in my situation that would be rude i think

no she isn't my girlsfrined, just a frined who is a flatmate as well. the others are cool, as I said, I don't ehibit myself,I'm not sure what you mean by 'open up', but I think the answer is yes -the best advise I've seen in here is just do what you would normally do if you were on your own in the flat/house first/last thing during the day like going 2 the bathroom nude. that way you can attempt to gauge peoples reaction, although I do find that people \I know seem to be slightly overwhelmed by the whole idea at first!
all the best
