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

[babypickles]

For context: Our house is on a new build estate and the houses are pretty close together. It’s fairly easy to see into neighbours gardens because the trees etc are not well established yet.

AIBU to say my neighbours shouldn’t be naked in their garden. They are often out in the garden totally naked taking photos of themselves. They have parties quite often and it’s not uncommon for them and friends to be out in the garden naked / using the hot tub etc.

Am I being a killjoy ? Seems excessive to me.

I love the emergency kaftan.

Everyone should have an emergency kaftan.

Honestly call the police non-emergency line and have a word. Being naked in public (which includes a garden where people can see you) is hopefully still an offence and they can have a word. The neighbours don't need to know it was you that complained.

Yes you are being a killjoy and a prude

I can't imagine he is too interested.

I’d imagine a boy of any age to be fairly interested

Tbh I'd prefer people's clothes did cover their bits, yes. Sick of seeing women's labia in those stupid shorts just now, for instance.

As I said in my post, I know people who go naked in their garden. Someone complained, the police visited and there was nothing they could do. I'm not saying it's OK and I wouldn't be happy with it myself 's just what happened.

Op I feel your pain im just imaging my neighbours cavorting around naked 😲no thanks .

They /you need to grow trees to stop this

I wonder what Tom & Margo would have made of it?

Being naked in public isn’t and has never been illegal.

hope they are adequately SPF’d.

Unless your garden is completely secluded, wear some clothes. They sound like exhibitionists.

Who exactly is the driving force behind normalising nudity? Is it women, or men?

Is it a male interest, or a female one? Because wanting a tan without strap lines is a very different goal to everyone accepting having to see your genitals.

Who runs British Naturism, for example. Is it women?

I’m quite surprised at these reactions. I think it’s a bit off when kids can see them. They sound like exhibitionists. Really weird. I’d be having a word.

Have you met any 11 yo boys? 😂

@Sherararara it can be a crime if causing alarm, OP can report this, all these posters saying stop being a prude etc, would they really be comfortable with a neighbour behaving like this in a garden in full view, I doubt it

As I said. Being naked in public is not against the law.

What I want to know is do they swan, or parade? Those are things one can only do naked.

OP yanbu

I read what you said about the people you know.
But my point is the law in the matter of nudity is not a " one size fits all" one and just because the police didn't see what was happening in the instance you cite wasn't a crime doesnt mean to say it won't be seen as a crime in the case of OP's neighbours.

🤣🤣🤣

I’m not convinced all these threads about neighbours being naked / ‘prancing in bikinis’ in their gardens which ‘can be seen if you look out of the upstairs bedroom windows’ on new build housing estates are genuine. This is the second one this morning. It’s like people have all been watching 70s sex comedies starring Robin Askwith.

They can do what they like inside their house but in the garden 🪴.?
they must know full well well that neighbours can see them without staring or peeping through the bushes .
You want to do that then you need live out in the sticks with no neighbours .
They’re weird .

Yeah I’m not sure either, although to be fair we had a neighbour who was a naturist, lovely man, bit eccentric, drove past his house one day and he was strimming the borders completely starkers, we thought ouch. 😂

his house isn’t over looked, and sits on a large detached plot. just you could see if you drove past and happened to look, we also saw him doing naked yoga in his living room once, again on driving past, for me each to their own, and he wasn’t visible from our home. If it was I guess at some point I’d get annoyed as I don’t feel it’s reasonable to tell people they shouldn’t ever look out their windows, especially if you’ve kids, I certainly wouldn’t want my young daughter or son banned from looking out their windows as billy and Jane have got their bits out,

I guess it tallies with the heatwave but I must admit, it's one of those topics that crops up on MN every so often but I've yet to encounter anyone who's had this issue IRL.

I'm really in two minds about this. There's a part of me that wants to be all live and let live, body positive (especially in front of my children) and say it's up to people what they do in their own garden.

But on the other hand I can see right into my neighbours gardens from my upstairs window and I would admittedly find it a bit disturbing if I opened the curtains one day to find Richard next door lazing on a sun lounger with his willy out.

My neighbours are naked again. I can see them when im staring through the trees
