For asking my partner not to sleep naked

Judging? Where did you get that from? I'm not judging anyone. Sleep attire should be what is most comfortable. I prefer my husband to sleep nude, and it's never been an issue because he sleeps that way, anyway. I wasn't being serious about dictating sleep attire. If he starts to wear clothes to bed I would probably ask him why, but it's not a big deal. Preferences can change. But what I don't understand is why preferred sleep attire is an issue at all.

Its really clear that is a fact from plenty of threads on here.

Pleased this thread has been resurrected - it’s so hilarious - and reminds me of why I first joined MN ha!

The comments on this thread are hilarious. Some of you lot are very uptight.

We sleep naked, always have done. We have 2 non-traumatised adult offspring who were raised to be completely comfortable about nudity. We don’t walk around the house naked, but nor do we treat nudity like it’s something to be feared and shamed.

I’m not disgusted by nakedness at all but people judging others who choose to sleep in underwear or pjs as they are more comfortable isn’t nice either, each to their own

Yes, but they would quite often pull them off during warmer nights, which is absolutely fine and understandable. I wouldn’t want DP or I to sleep in pyjamas at any time, I’d be much too hot and I’m sure they’d get all twisted and rumpled up after my tossing and turning!

Exactly. It’s also good for kids to see normal bodies. The only reason I could see this as odd would be if he’s not her actual father. Or if you don’t trust your DH around your daughter for some reason, then he shouldn’t be in the house full stop.

If the kids want to be more modest that’s also fine and normal.

Otherwise it’s a non issue.

Eh? Seriously why are so many people disgusted at nakedness?

Presumably he was naked when you conceived your child.
Totally bonkers.

Exactly. Nudity among family is not weird. I generally throw on a dressing gown but there might be times I don't bother if going to the loo, my ds knows that people have bodies. He is unharmed.

We have one son who just turned 9. He typically sleeps in his underwear, but when it is warmer he might sleep naked. I've never thought anything about it. My brother always slept in his underwear. I guess I've always figured that's how boys sleep.

My husband stopped wearing clothes to bed long before we met, but you missed my point. When two people are in a relationship they should enjoy each other and not be disgusted by each other's bodies. If that is the case sleep in separate beds.

I find it comfortable like I assume a lot of people do, do you not put your kids on pjs?

However, I would have an issue with somebody doing this if they left skids in the bed! Have been a few grim threads about bum crumbs in the past. I always shower before bed.

I couldn't sleep in underwear.

Why would you wear clothes to sleep in? That just seems totally counterintuitive.

Your post is weird, telling your partner he needs to sleep naked

I just happened to randomly find this thread, and yikes! Skid marks, pubes, scary penises...geez, why do some of you even bother to sleep with your husband? My DH hasn't worn anything to bed in the 16 years we've been married, not do I want him to (I actually told him he better not be coming to bed with clothes on...LOL). And if I don't want a penis next to me in bed, I will sleep by myself.

I wonder if some of these posts are even real.

Hear hear.

MN is in general a very anti-sex place, and on top of that there's an extreme body-horror (and germphobia) prevalent here. Almost every time you see someone refer to a body part - their husband's penis, a woman at the swimming pool's arse, a random stranger's elbow - it's with disgust. I don't know how a lot of these posters get through daily life.

100% this.

Nothing to do with being unreasonable!!
The same way he is allowed to sleep naked you're allowed to request that he wears a gown when stepping out ot the door out of respect for your daughter! but, also living together is about partnership and commitment to each other, to respect boundaries and negotiate your shared living space AND compromise to meet halfway (always following a tranquil mature conversation)

Sorry, thoughts and prayers etc 😂😂

I sometimes think that a lot of mumsnetters may have only got married and had sex in order to have children

I agree. There are some right pearl-clutchers on here, makes you wonder how they ever managed to conceive children! 😃

Well I’m weird as I’m funny either way feet too.

Who said I have sex multiple times a week. I’ve got small kids 😂
