Going Naked (or nearly)

I think it is a question of whether you would be bothered if someone accidentally saw you naked.

I cannot say it has ever bothered me, no matter what my shape.

Why on earth would I want to be naked in front of anyone but my OH? Even so, I wouldn't 'parade' in that state.

God no! Who would want to see my strange misshapen old-lady body? Would probably scare the grandsons to death.

Ok with DH. He's not that much better.

That should say,she is Mexican hence the spanish

I don't like my body,never did but when I look back at photos of me in my teens and twenties,have no idea why I disliked myself so much. Am now a bit larger than I was then,still don't like me very much but my ten years younger than me husband thinks I'm gorgeous and fancies the pants off me still,after being together for over ten years. Been in the shower with my granddaughter who was far more interested in my boobs,leche leche abuelita,she was still being breastfed at 2 and a half.She's Mexican,hence the Spanish. 18 month old grandson comes into the lav with me when I need a pee,much easier than him being left to his own devices when I have him for grandma daycare

I look at this discussion from 2 angles.

One is how comfortable I am with my own body and whether I would be embarrassed if an indifferent and uninterested passer by saw me naked. The answer to that is that I would not be remotely embarrassed. I do not have any hang-ups about my body and never have, no matter what shape it was/is.

The second angle is being naked in relation to someone who is not disinterested - family member or similar and that is very different. If someone saw me briefly and accidentally - walking into the bathroom/bedroom when I had no clothes on, not expecting me to be there, again equally unbothered, but I would not go naked where anyone was around who might be embarrassed by it ie not in front of children, grandchildren, friends or other family.

Doesn't bother me being naked.

My DDs take that to the next level by calmly sitting down and peeing when we both happen to be in the bathroom.

no problem with DH - not DG. they getting older.bikini days are long gone but happy in a swimsuit.

After sleeping naked for 40 years, now I'm alone I go to bed looking like Nanook of the North - just in case I get a burglar!

Can't think of anything worse for a child to see!

Totally inecessary to be naked except in bed. I always sleep naked. Otherwise it’s just exhibitionism.

Thanks for the warning kircubbin, I will never be tempted to have a Turkish Bath.

I don't wish my daughter, or son (horrors), any friends or any Grandchild to see me naked.
Why would you, for goodness sake?

Never been shy of being naked in front of DH, and he was the same with me, right up until he died.
Only in front of DC when they were tiny, but I did go topless on the beach in Majorca when they were 8 and 4......
Medical staff are used to it anyway and it doesn't bother me.

I'm quite happy with my own body (72 this year) and living in France with a swimming pool it was a revelation to go swimming naked. Wonderful...and why would you struggle in and out of a wet swim suit. But to our amazement when we casually mentioned this to our adult children they all, seperately, had the same reaction.......ugh!! They seemed horrified that we oldies should do such a thing!
So....

Never had problem with being naked in front of DH. In the ‘80s I used to sunbathe topless with my young children around but strangely, I don’t like to see topless sun bathing anymore. Often see it in countries where I’m sure hosts really don’t approve. I was always slim until I put on 4 stone with baby no 3 at 38 and to my horror only lost 1.5 stone afterwards. Now at 63 I’m about 2 stone heavier than I was pre baby no-3. Never did get rid of extra weight. Size 14 now instead of 10.

Probably not even a 10 with the in-laws tbh! But love swimming naked and don’t m9nd a nudist beach.

im quite happy to go naked in front of my partner but i dont think anyone else would like to see me wandering round as nature intended

We went to naturist beaches and campsites when the kids were young, (less these days) and I have never had any problems with being naked. I am now much fatter and have a front covered in scars, but it's not my problem if it bothers anyone.

It could be living on the continent which made me that way, but my sister is the same and she's stayed in the UK all her life.

I interpret it as a rebellion against the Victorian attitudes of our parents - covering up seems so insidious.

don't fancy naturism, I wouldn't want to sit where other bare parts had been before, have enough trouble sitting on public toilet seat.

Now grandchildren are older they don’t wander into bedroom without knocking but it wouldn’t bother me if they did.

Not a pretty site but nothing to hide.

Can't even bear to show my arms in public let alone anything else.

I would love to be that comfortable about nudity.

I am a naturist, and am naked whenever I can. It is not about thinking that I have a great body, in fact I am size 28 and think I look horrendous, so my own personal body confidence is a big fat zero. It is also not about what other people think of my body. Being a naturist is all about the freedom to get back to nature and it is quite liberating. I love naked swimming, am often in my garden naked, (not overlooked) nudity does not bother me at all. I go to naturist clubs and beaches where many families often frequent. My parents were the same , we had no hang ups in our house and I brought my kids up the same. It is all about accepting our bodies whatever shape , size, warts and all.

Definitely not
