AIBU to think neighbours should not be naked in their garden?

I love MN. The standards are so diverse!

A husband makes a flirty comment towards a woman who is not his wife and everyone screams "divorce him, he's a dirty pervert, you can't trust him" or some such other outraged comment but your neighbours go stark bollock naked into their garden with friends which is fully overlooked by other houses, they party until 3.30 am burning their bits on the barbecue and then dousing them in the hot tub and you're a prude or God knows what!

It makes me laugh 😂

The neighbours probably think she's a pervert 😂😂😂

Its their garden and you shouldnt be looking. If they were turned in yojr direction, wiggling their bits at you then I would agree with you, but these people are just naked. Just get on with your day and leave them enjoy their party.

My neighbour is 97 so please no!

“The dirty, evil bastards.” 😆😆

I can’t quite tell if this is sarcasm or not? If not then I sincerely hope I never end up with you as my next door neighbour!

I think seeing a neighbour naked in their garden would be quite unusual. Not something you would come across regularly. The only time I've seen was when we were renting in SE Cornwall. A woman who lived next door to us would sunbathe in her garden, sometimes nude. I didn't have a problem with it at all.

Obviously. 🙄But I'd rather not see in the first place, if it's all the same to you.

What do you mean 'fairly easy'? As in if I go into our spare room and stand on a chair I can see everything or I was pruning my roses and there they were... Naked!! In their own garden and this was in Nantwich. The dirty, evil bastards.

I think if they are naturists it's not a problem in their own home and garden. It's not sexual. It's our societal assumption that nakedness means sex that is the issue.

That being said I'm not sure how I'd explain that to a child so I understand why you'd wouldn't want it so obvious.

Omg hope your not

You must be my neighbour!

If you dont like what you see then look away

Someone’s eyes pointing in a specific direction isn’t the same thing as ‘looking’.

I agree with you I go around the house naked in this weather and my place is'nt really overlooked so I go out in the garden naked to and I dont really care if neighbours bother to look it's my choice and they dont have to look

If its laying in your garden i agree there is no law to stop it, police will not be interested.
Fences make sense and if a neighbour sants to look out of a bedroom windos it is tjeir choice and they do not need to look if ghey dont want to

Eh? I'm not sure how that addresses what I said in my post, can you elaborate?

As parents we should promote a balanced view and that of toleration if not then children may not be suitable

Sex people Lin! X

That assumes that the parents in question are able to handle it maturely themselves and actually listen to their children if they seem uncomfortable.

Unfortunately though, some parents handle it by laughing at their child and calling them a 'little prude', as happened to me. Which is why I feel passionately now that parents need to be sensitive to whether or not their children seem comfortable with their nudity if they choose to go naked at home.

I get what you’re saying but it probably depends on how overlooked your garden is too. I have houses behind so couldn’t do this but I’m often naked around the house

If we spoke to our kids about our bodies then they would be more confident and mature about nudity and may even appreciated the human body better

Its only becausethe general public isnt used to it yet, its like a victorian wearing a mini skirt im sure one day we will accept how we are are feel comfortsble nakes instead of wearing a bikini and be left with those awful tan lines instead of a all over tan

“otherwise keep it to yourself.”
I’m sorry to be blunt, but you don’t get to tell people what they can and cannot do in their own gardens. It isn’t any of your business.

What do you find weird about a human body? 🤔

But should it? So it’s a discussion point then isn’t it? About how bodies are completely natural and normal and that we all have them and that in the privacy of your own home that you are allowed to not cover up your body. I’m not saying I’m right by the way, I’m no expert on being exposed to the human body vs keeping it private and the effects to that has on children. I’m happy to be proven wrong but to me I kind of like that (in a non sexual way of course) children will see body parts. They’ll see them eventually and I feel like seeing that we all look a bit different is a good thing. Maybe I’m weird. That said, I wouldn’t personally do it but I resent that a man can walk down the street with his nipples on show but that a woman can’t. Different wt argument I know but opens up a wider discussion IMO.
