Poll: Are you comfotable naked ?

[x EvilErmine x]

Yep i am, doesn't bother me at all really, however it's not really advisable most of the time as it's bloody too cold here.
I do always sleep in the nude though, it's wonderful...you really should try it. I tend to warm the bed up with radiant body heat very fast, my ex said that she really liked sleeping with me because i was so warm it was like sleeping with a hotwater bottle that never got cold.

 

[Freddy]

I am comfortable with it as long as
- I am either alone or with my gf
- everyone else is naked, too

 

[Devetta]

I enjoy being naked even though I'm not fond of my body and can be very self conscious, though I'm comfortable around my boyfriend naked I tend to avoid mirrors, I'm my own worst critic. I also find it impossible to sleep in pjs and only force myself to when I'm staying over at friends/family.

 

[SonofaJohannes]

Maybe not naked, but I do spend most of my time at home half-naked. Completely naked however is a big no, my boxers have become a part of me. I'm perfectly fine with the rest of my flesh being exposed but as soon as my underwear comes off I start feeling uncomfortable.

 

[WaysideMaze]

Moreso than I used to be.

I used to hate my body and how I looked etc, but a few months back I made a consious decision to improve my health, and try and get in shape and I look so much better than I used to. I'm still a long way off my goal, but much happier

I'm a little too comfortable naked. A few years ago when my parents would go on vacation, I would try to be naked around the house as much as possible. The thing is, after awhile something random would turn me on and I'd go to my room and masturbate. Then suddenly I realized I wanted to start wearing clothes again. I basically figured out it was a kink/fetish/sex thing for me and that if I just took care of that need right off, I really didn't need to hang out in the literal sense. Anyways, it feels weird to be naked a lot anyways because you eventually start to feel like a shut in and a little bit nonhuman/animal-like. Wearing clothes is a part of living in civilization and without them, I start to feel alone and disconnected from the world.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Yes, but only when I'm at home all by myself. I'd feel a bit embarrassed otherwise.

 

[Aerodyamic]

I have absolutely no body modesty, and my career choice keeps me in reasonably good shape.

Even if it didn't, I'd work out.

 

[The Heik]

Anyways . Are you guys comfortable naked ?

Generally speaking yes.

I grew up in Estonian ethnic culture, and one of more common practices is the sauna, where you don't wear clothes because it would defeat the purpose of the "steam cleaning" experience. It's one of the few situations where nudity doesn't preclude any form of sexualization because you're naked to clean yourself, not to get dirty, so it's pretty easy to get comfortable with your own body, especially once you've seen that pretty much everybody else is just like you. No one is a model, no one looks like they just popped out of a superhero comic, it's just your average everyday people. Besides, Esto saunas are usually mixed group. Once you've seen old naked granny boobie, one's own self-image issues tend to diminish.

However, that doesn't mean that I go naked all the time. I'm a bit of a pragmatist, so I usually don't do something unless I see a reason to do it. And nudity isn't usually on that list, primarily because the places that I live in don't have all too great climate control. Either I'd be shivering like I was on meth or my balls stick to my leg like crazy glue. All in all being clothed is usually the better option for my day to day life.

 

[Mr Fixit]

I'm cool with being naked. I wish I could get naked right now, it's really freaking hot in here, but i'm at work so that is frowned upon. I can't sleep naked for some reason, gotta at least have the undies on.

 

[Andy Shandy]

I'm a never-nude. It's a real affliction, even though it's not recognized here in the states, but I know for a fact there are two members of German Parliament!

There are dozens of us!

[HEADING=1]DOZENS![/HEADING]

Ah, I can't believe I didn't think of that when I saw the thread originally.

 

[Bestival]

Love being naked, as long as I'm alone.
Walk around the house naked all the time, and sleep in the nude. Have done that for so long now that when I do try to sleep with some clothing on I have the hardest time getting to sleep.

 

[BOOM headshot65]

I cant even take going SHIRTLESS in public. Like, going to the pool, being a guy, I have to wear pants but I can go without a shirt. Nope.jpeg. I will wear a shirt even while swimming. And that should tell you EXACTLY how I feel about being naked. Same when I am home alone.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

I'm cool with being naked. If society in general were also cool with it I'd probably be naked most of the time. And if it weren't so cold in Britain, generally.

I'm actually secretly a fat middle-aged man with a skin condition (don't tell my university course) and I think that the best place to be naked is on a trampoline. Have fun with that mental image, folks!

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Congratulations on the baby!!! ^_^

Thank you. ^^

OT: Go team "Get In Shape for Summer Time"!!!
From the sounds of this thread I suspect a lot of Escapists are working on it.

Well, it is that time of year. I only read a small portion of the responses so far, but from what I saw there are also a lot of people with some fairly severe body issues on this site. Or at least in this thread. The topic seems somewhat polarizing.

Edit: Actually, this page is far better. For some reason, page 2 had a lot of nudity angst.

 

[Combustion Kevin]

being naked is actually quite nice, it only bothers me when it's in a sexual circumstance with someone I'm not familiar with.

 

[Gavmando]

Your poll is broken. There was no, "HELL YEAH!" option.

I'm completely fine being in the buff. I'm not that good to look at, but I dont care. If i'm hanging out around the house and it's not too cold, then i'm nude. Simple as that.

(Dont worry. I do wear clothes in public.)

 

[BlackStar42]

The poll lacks a "Oh good heavens no, I'm much too British" option. Since I live with housemates, I always wear something when not in the shower.

 

[Zac Jovanovic]

I usually sit through most of the day only in my underwear, working from home I pretty much put clothes only when I'm going out or having guests.

Most of my friends know this, when one of them rings the doorbell and has to wait for like a minute for me to open. They say "You were looking for you pants, were you?"

 

[Fappy]

I generally don't like prancing around the house naked because I don't want to bare-ass sweat on chairs, couches, etc. I also don't really like anyone seeing me naked... except maybe my pets... their desensitized at this point anyway. One of my cats deliberately watches people shower. Pervert.
