Some of you have indicated that you are quite comfortable being nude at home when non-nudists who are aware of your practices are there. The question I have is if you're visiting a non-nudist house where people have seen you nude in your own house, are you invited and do you take advantage of getting nude while visiting. Thank you for letting me ask questions on your website. I probably won't ask many more ever, but I might comment on your comments.
Yes, some do invite me, and i take the opportunity if i feel comfortable with then (temperature, mood, atmosphere ..). If there are other guests too and i don't know if they would feel fine with me going naked, i try to ask. Others don't like to have me naked at their site because of various reasons, so i do respect this. First and foremost i go there to be with my friends, not to be nude.
When visiting my aunt (not blood) who is 89 years of age, always tells me to "go barenaked" if I want and I do. She openly stares and that's ok, too.
That has to be true for most of us, few of my friends are naturists so I would not think of going bare in their homes. Within my own home to be honest I'm only bare on my own or when just my wife is around, repressed maybe but that's the way it is. On a beach it is completely different because you know it is acceptable even expected.
Ahhhh, no, i respect the rules/customs of my friends at their house, if they are not practicing nudists and say... i went around for a beer with him at his house....and he (or them) were not nude then i would never violate their space by stripping down.
So how do you go about that.....do you just rock up and go, "i like to be nude, do you have any objections"? If they said yes but didn't want to be nude themselves then i doubt i would nude up! I'm sorry, i love being nude, I hate wearing clothes, but like all things in life sometimes you need to be mindful of where you are sometimes.
though you asked Jen, i try a little answer too. There were situations, where i did it exactly the way you said. Poeple around i don't know very good, but obviously open minded, a relaxed atmosphere, comfortable temperature, and of course the right mood on my side. I guess you would be amazed how often you get a positive feedback. The crunch is only to feel free to ask. But in the most social situations i don't need to ask. My friends know me and i know them. So usually it only takes some certain smile or facial expression to make me know ift it's ok to bare or not. You just have to be open for signals and kow about the different circumstances and possibilities at your diverse friends. For example some don't like me sit on their sofa with a bare ass, but to see me naked in their garden - another couple feels fine with a naked me inside, but is afraid of getting trouble with the neigbours outside. So you have to be attentive and respectful. Such a freedom needs some care ;-)
Fair call and each to their own, my wife and i are devoted nudists but we would never even ask the question regardless of if they know we are nudists or not. It just seems rude (to me) to ask if you can nude up. However.....If they throw out the invite....."feel free to nude up guys" .....then i'd be swinging free in about 2.5 seconds!
