RE: Do you worry about neighbours?

No I don't worry about the neighbours, I am sure they can look after themselves with out my help except in disastrous situations.
Re being seen nude by them I try to be discrete so that I am not in their face, however I have been caught nude on a few occasions but I have had no confrontations with my neighbours over my nudity issues.
I know one neighbour now rings instead of just dropping in as he used too.
Its good not having close neighbours like in suburbia.
I also find country life and country people are in general more relaxed about most life issues. With many people grew up on farms and small towns in the country have skinny dipped and/or experienced nudity at some stage in their life and find no issues with simple nudity..

RE: Do you worry about neighbours?

At our current house, yes, our neighbors in back are just looking for any excuse to make trouble for us. Also, there are now too many children in the area.
At the prior house, not bad neighbors to worry about, but again, children next door.
At the house before that, no kids in the neighborhood at all! It was on a golf course and there were three fairways and two ponds between our house and the ones looking into our yard...about 200 yards away. Did not realize it at the time how lucky we were to be so free to be nude around our pool. (Neighbors on either side could not see into our pool area without going out of their way.)

No, I don't worry about it at all, but we're fortunate to live in a private forested property. I have only one neighbor who could see me from certain locations on the property, but he doesn't care and wouldn't complain. Only if someone traveled my driveway while I was out nude could they see me, and they would have to pass a "No Trespassing" sign to do so. Again, we feel very fortunate.

In the netherlands the law states that you can be naked if it's not visible from public accesable area's (like the road). So, if you want to be naked in your (shielded) back yard, go ahead. If neighbors see you, that's not a problem.
I myself live at the 4th floor of a small apartment building (or 5th floor, if you count the ground floor as number 1). When I want to ba naked on the balcony, I will do so. I blocked off the balcony railing, so up to waist level it isn't visible from the street below. It is visible from the neighbor's balcony, bus I just informed them I like to sunbathe naked when I moved in.

No I don't worry about the neighbor's, when we bought our house we knew from the beginning that it was private in the back except for one neighbor who we talked too prior to buying. The impression we got was she wasn't the type to get excited and call the cops on us if she saw us swimming nude in our pool, and wouldn't you know the first weekend in our new house she saw us moving in and heard the sterio playing in the back yard and came over to formally welcome us to the neighborhood. When she came thru our gate in our private yard I was laying nude facing her and my wife was nude on a raft, since she invaded our space I found no need to run for cover so I went our introduced myself and my wife got off her raft and walked past her towel straight up to the neighbor to say hello. In the past 5 years we are always nude in our backyard during the summer and my neighbor comes over from time to time and never once has she complained or even said a negative comment, and she has even complimented us and has asked my wife how she keeps so smooth without bumps

RE:Do you worry about neighbours?

Not really. We have a privacy fence around most of our yard. The back part is heavy in vegetation.

We had a couple of our neighbors over Saturday night to sit out around the firepit have have some drinks. Clothed or course. My dear wife, after having a few, decided to announce that I was a nudist and went to resorts and such. I don't think anyone was particularly shocked and but it did open up a rather lengthy discussion on the subject. Mostly curiosity. The same old tiresome "No they are not sex clubs" and No we not swingers" etc. The young couple next door has 2 kids they let play in the yard naked. They are toddlers and they have a hard time keeping clothes on them. That lead in to a conversation about just leave them alone and how kids are taught shame. Apparently they are in to home nudity.

The other couple did not seem to add to the conversation much so I was a bit concerned that they might have been weirded out by it, He texted me yesterday and said they had a wonderful time and would be interested in doing it again soon. He even talked about joining us on a cruise we have planned for next May.

Who knows.. after a few more firepit sessions.. We may actually get to do a nude one.

RE:Do you worry about neighbours?

Yes and no. I have a 6 foot wooden fence and very tall bushes in the backyard. I am cognizant of what areas and angles are safer from the view of second story windows but I have spent more time out back nude when the weather is nice. It is my private property so I figure I am entitled to do what I want back there as long as I am at least trying to stay out of direct view.

We also have a privacy fence on three sides and bushes on two. Our house is on the other. The house on the remaining side has one window and a deck from which you can see part of the yard. Luckily the prior and current neighbors are single males and didn't mind if I was nude, My wife is very rarely nude in the yard.

RE:Do you worry about neighbours?

On one side we have retired neighbours whose kitchen window overlooks our place, so that's out unless they're on holiday. The other side have a back sunroom with a garden seat and zip-up clear plastic 'windows' that looks over a little, but I've never seen them there unless they're entertaining, so that is generally okay. However, one of their security cameras overlooks our vege patch, so I keep the swim briefs on for that. Perhaps I could find out if they ever check it by going nude and seeing if that earns a response. :-) We did have some trees on the fence line but we had to pull them out as they were growing too fast and the replacements are taking their time.

Over the back fence, we're in the clear while the front yard is fully open to the street. So I guess half the garden is okay. Good for sunning and work in selected areas, but have to be conscious of the virtual boundaries in daylight.
