Naked at home ?

52 replies

Nathan22 · 14/11/2014 18:20

I have always felt comfortable sleeping naked (as does DW when it is warm) but I have not taken it beyond that. I would really like to be able to be naked more often at home (our place isn't over-looked by neighbours in case you were wondering). I won't be naked when the children are around but hopefully in the evenings with DW or when the children are out. Should I feel guilty about asking for this or is it OK ? Do other people go naked at home ? Any suggestions on how I should approach this with DW ?

Thanks for all the comments.

Discussed it with DW tonight. She was totally cool about it. We agreed on using a towel for the sofa but otherwise she was fine for me to be naked whenever I wanted. Really pleased.

Wear an apron when frying eggs. That's all I'm going to say Wink

ginnycreeper5 · 14/11/2014 23:12

And remember to wash the towel afterwards owing to the poo crumbs Wink

BOF really? How badly do you malt to need a Hoover Confused

FunkyBoldRibena · 14/11/2014 23:23

She may have been cool on the outside, but really, a man's bits are not all that. Really, they arent.

Remember the OP on here a while back whose husband only ever wore a tshirt around the house and left his knackers hanging out all the bloody time. Poor woman was distraught.

An air of mystery is a very good thing.

Lol, no, they're not all that but he's not asking if he can mop her brow with his scrotum! If you're a fairly clean bloke who doesn't produce these poo crumbs MN seems obsessed with and that I just can't fathom and she says she doesn't mind, let them breathe!

Bulbasaur · 15/11/2014 01:14

Poo crumbs? Skid marks? Do you guys not get taught proper hygiene in the UK?

I love lounging naked, as does DH. I'm sure as our baby gets bigger we'll start wearing clothes more when she starts expressing discomfort. Believe it or not, our furniture is very clean, because here in America we wipe our ass after taking a shit.

Idontseeanysontarans · 15/11/2014 08:48

Poo crumbs Grin
Only exist on MN I think, I'm fairly certain I wouldn't marry a bloke who couldn't wipe his arse properly..
We don't do naked because we have a fairly cold house and live in a damp area - hypothermia is not my thing!

cuddybridge · 15/11/2014 10:15

I met someone on holiday a few years ago who said that she mowed he lawn in the buff, as she got an all over tan, she said her garden was totally secluded and she liked being naked. It didn't appeal to me, but neither did living in deepest Yorkshire so that you could indulge in that sort of life

Mouldypineapple · 15/11/2014 10:18

Just remember when you pass wind tiny bits of poo fly out...

Dragonfly71 · 15/11/2014 10:23

Wtf are poo crumbs??? Thought this when I read a previous thread about guests sleeping naked ( remember that one?!) I'm pretty sure there is no medical basis for this unless you have some kind of condition.
Enjoy your new freedom OP!

WalkingInMemphis · 15/11/2014 10:29

I don't go naked around the house but dh used to, before we had kids. He feels a bit awkward now though, so his usual home-attire is now a pair of boxers (unless we have company)

That man is like a whirlwind, the rate he sheds his clothes. We'll come in from wherever, i'll take my coat off, turn around, and dh has already undressed and is sitting in his boxers Hmm

Birdsgottafly · 15/11/2014 10:50

I have to keep my curtains closed because I'm never dressed when I'm at home.

I don't feel the cold and have my windows open, with no heating on, still.

I wear underwear, or a bra and PJ bottoms if my DD is about, we are comfortable topless in front of each other, though.

My middle DD is the same, she would live naked, if she could.

I go into my back garden with my underwear on, I see it as no different to the swimming baths and if my neighbours don't like it, they can choose not to look into my garden.

I think many on MN need to sort their diets out, or cut down on Anal, the permanent shedding of poo crumbs, shouldn't be happening.

whois · 15/11/2014 10:55

I did do naked house work about two weeks ago

I always clean the bathroom naked.

That way clothes don't get wet or bleachy, and then I can. Just step into the shower to rinse the cleaning products and 'ick' feeling off me.

ChippingInAutumnLover · 15/11/2014 10:58

'Nathan' it'll be interesting to see how quickly your sex life goes into decline. Do let us know. It's really a turn off to see all the dangly bits, dangling, for most women anyway. Boxers, much better option.

dalekanium · 15/11/2014 11:07

A sarong is your friend here.

And don't, do not even do any DIY in the nud. Really don't.

whois · 15/11/2014 11:11

I think that's quite a sad thing to say. You wouldn't like it if your DH said your droopy tits were a turn off would you?!

Gillian1980 · 15/11/2014 11:16

Why not?

My DH often goes naked including doing housework - I quite like it!! I'm more reserved but do sometimes go naked myself.

Just mention it casually to your DW and see how she feels. Maybe if she's not keen you could do it when you're home alone.

Gillian1980 · 15/11/2014 11:18

Sorry, I didn't see that you've now spoken to her.

Glad she's happy with it :)

Greengrow · 15/11/2014 11:19

Why shouldn't your child see you naked? Some families seems to have lots of hang ups about nudity which is a shame.

ginnycreeper5 · 15/11/2014 13:18

I remember that!
She didn't want his bollocks in contact with her naice new furniture don't blame her
Didn't she keep finding pubic hair everywhere? Like dog hairs.

ginnycreeper5 · 15/11/2014 13:24

Wtf are poo crumbs???

Okay. What are poo crumbs?

Well, I'm no expert, but lots of people, especially men, have a lot of hair growing round their ass hoooole (with me so far?)
Okay, so no matter how much and how well you wipe your ass, then tiny bits of poo are going to be stuck and tangled up in the ass hair.

And then those bits of poo dry out and turn into crumbs and will get transfered to any surface where the ass makes contact. ie naice white sofa

how do I even know this? Confused

catsofa · 15/11/2014 15:14

Speak for yourself, sometimes it turns me on, most of the time it's just my DP's body, wandering about the place, being a normal human being. It's a great pity if you feel revulsion at your partner's body but please don't assume that's normal!

catsofa · 15/11/2014 15:16

Um, no, they don't. I think you may need to change your diet.
