Casual nudity: around whom??



  • Not a taboo for me, and family / roomates have / do see me naked sometimes
  • Not a taboo for me, but only at a college hot tub party or with certain people
  • Not a taboo for me, but no one would know b/c I always cover up
  • A taboo for me except in single-sex environment
  • A taboo for me: and I always cover up except, say, while changing in locker room
  • A taboo for me, and I really try to cover up even then
  • I won't even have sex naked.


You will be able to change your vote.

The ONLY people that see me nude is my wife and sometimes my 23 yr old step-daughter sees me when I'm getting out of the shower sometimes and same with me seeing her or my wife.We
are very comfortable around eachother,But at first I wasn't during the time that I was dating my wife.I was afraid of what she and my step-daughter would say,But one night my
step- daughter came and told my that she was comfortable in seeing me nude,so I don't have to hind it anymore,so now like I said we are very comfortable around eachother being nude,because we are all adults now.

I chose the top option.

After college I shared an apartment with two other girls for almost a year, each of us being very discreet, before somehow this sort of thing came up in conversation and we realized that none of us were bothered by nudity and had been so discreet only because we thought we'd offend the others. It's not like we're nudists or gay but if it was hot, or if we were on the way to the shower, or slept naked and got up in the night, it was that much simpler. A little getting used to for boyfriends who passed through, but none of them were creeps about it.

I am a mother of 3, and no my kids do not see me nude, because that's inappropriate.

At first I was very shy about my body. A girl I dated the first time she saw me naked said that is not a penis, that is a weapon! So I was shy about it. In college I started coming out of my shell more. After college I had two female roomates. I came home late one night and they were having a lanerie party with 15 woman. The were all siting around in underware half naked. They were all drunk and so was I. They paid me to model some of the male items then do a strip tease. After that there was no modesty in our apartment.

I've always been comfortable with my body, starting when I was about 14 or 15. My friends had always seen me naked (well, not all of them, but some close friends) and I've walked around my house naked a lot. It's just me and my dad and when I first started doing it he seemed uncomfortable, but when I do it now he doesn't seem to care either way. I'm in college now, living in a dorm. My roommate has seen me naked as have some guy friends, but that's about it. Except for two weeks ago when I tripped walking back from the showers and dropped my towel in the middle of the hallway in front of like everyone. I'm comfortable naked, but that's a little much and I turned bright red in front of the guys on the floor and my Hall Director!! in the background. But what can you do?

I voted that it wasn't a taboo for me, family and roommates have seen me. But to me the college hot tub thing is way more taboo than your family seeing you. I

I really don't much like the idea of casual nudity; if I'm nekkid, I mean business!

I cant do the casual nudity thing either. But for me its cause I never grew up feeling comfortable about myself. I dont think i could even have a serious conversation with someone if they were standing there nude, I would just burst out laughing, and thats cause I would be so uncomfortable.

I don't mind walking around naked at all. I live alone though, so there's nobody here to see me. But in college I had no issue walking around naked even if girls were around. And one time in my earlier 20's I did go skinny dipping w/a gf and 2 of her friends who got to see me stripping down. It wasn't a big deal for me, they cheered me on :)

Little kids and their parents being naked around each other is something that seems natural to me, but I'm extremely uncomfortable with the idea of parents being naked in front of their kids once the kids are old enough to start being sexually aware (and teen or older kids being naked in front of their parents).
