Outed by Ring Camera
I have the Ring App on my phone in order to help monitor my 80 year old parents. I recently obtained my own Ring cameras and started installing them. In hindsight, I realize I did an amature mistake. I set up my new camera while still logged in to the account of my parents. In installing my cameras, I was all over the place. One of my siblings, who also monitors my parents, called me and asked me if I had been naked in my garage. I was shocked at first and thinking that someone riding by had seen me. I told him yes, I was naked in my garage!He eventually told me that I was viewable on a camera. He said you have cameras in your house bro. and you need to put on some clothes. He is one of those people that constantly views cameras to be nosey. . I responded that I would not be putting on clothes, but ensuring that the cameras were disabled. I'll see him in person tomorrow at a family gathering and considering his past, I anticipate that everybody present will know about this situation. I hope they don't, but if he has blabbed his mouth, it may not be a good scene.
Nowadays, there are many homes that don't have Ring or some other security cameras. We were the first to have one on our cul de sac. Now, everyone on our street has one. I was once able to walk down about 5 houses to the gang mailboxes and retrieve our mail. I'd do it naked around 3am. I was having trouble sleeping then and so I'd do this. It was such a freeing feeling.
On a trip to the mailboxes on morning, I noticed one neighbor installing a doorbell vid camera and a couple other homes had cameras with motion lights. My nude trips to the mailbox ended. I retrieve packages from our porch most times and I am naked. Our Ring captures those, but we're not connected to family, friends or neighbors. It's come in handy when packages have been said to have arrived and that was not the case. A few times, I sent video to the product sender to show that the package hadn't arrived as stated. They sent a replacement.
Most times, the Ring keeps us from answering the front door. I can pull up the live feed and see that it's usually a solicitor. I have been in the office many times when they come to the door. I can see that it's someone I'd rather not speak to. When they continue to ring the bell or knock, I walk to the door and say, "I'm naked and will answer the door this way. If that's going to bother you, I suggest you stop ringing the doorbell and move on." Usually, they move on, quickly. hahaha
Well, my nakedness on camera was not mentioned at our family event. My brother didn't mention it to me but that does not mean he didn't tell others. He frequently has diarrhea of the mouth. My wife has been very vocal over the years around our immediate (and sometimes distant) family members and a few friends about us being empty nesters now. She's been a lot more vocal about it than me and has told many that they need to call us before dropping by unless they don't mind seeing us naked because we rarely wear clothes at home. I think most of them think she's joking and just running her mouth because it goes against their mindsets. I even believe our sons didn't believe it until each of them showed up unannounced at various times and discovered we were doing regular things naked. They have gotten better about calling before visiting now, especially when they are bringing friends with them. However, my mother still doesn't get it and was stopping by unannounced until I reminded her that my wife told them not to stop by unannounced. She threw a little fit and said she was grown and almost 80 years old, she could stop by when she wanted. Although she said it in a joking manner, I know she felt justified and confident with her statement. I really don't think she remembers the reason my wife recommended calling first. LOL
After we got married, my wife hit the ground running with nudity at home. We lived in an apartment, newlyweds at the ripe old age of 20. Her parents were protective, but her mother was a nosey woman. She told my wife that with me being in the Navy and away, she needed a key to our apartment for emergency purposes. After the second time she walked into our apartment unannounced and saw us both naked, once coming out of the shower together and the other lying in bed post sexual intimacy, my wife drove over to her parents' house, held out her hand and demanded the key back.
We moved and rented a few other homes before buying our first place about an hour away from family. We loved our freedom, our privacy and private backyard. Her parents would drive all the way out to where our new home was and just show up. After the first couple of times of racing around to get dressed to answer the door, we decided to not answer the door when they just showed up. They finally got the message.
All our immediate family members know we are nudists and call or text before coming over. On rare occasion, a family member will show up but park and sit at the curb until they've gotten a text response from us that we are home and ready for company. They know if it takes a few minutes for us to respond or answer the door, we were naked.
Had a neighbor that saw us naked in our previous backyard quite a bit. We had a party and invited these neighbors to attend. She'd had a couple glasses of wine and thought she'd be funny and start blabbing about us "always being naked in our backyard." She was talking to our daughters and said, "ya know, your parents are always running around naked in the backyard," Our oldest said, "yeah, they are nudists. We were raised as nudists as well. There's nothing wrong with it and we all know about it." That shut this neighbor down and she shut up after that.
That's a very interesting story! I'm glad your daughters shut her down and I hope she learned a valuable lesson about running her mouth.
I'm wondering if anybody has had any success with being able to remain nude with non-nudist friends and family. I've read a few rare stories where people have stated that they stopped getting dressed for visitors. Eventually the visitors accepted their nudity and would continue to visit although they didn't feel comfortable getting nude themselves. We have some friends with whom we've shared our nudist lifestyle with but they think we're crazy. They have visited us several times and even gotten in the hot tub with us, but balk at getting naked. The ironic thing is that one couple we've spoken to has a long friendship history with us. The female has been my wife's best friend since grade school. I'm sure they have seen each other in various states of dress over the years and I know my wife showed her friend her nipples after she got them pierced. The male and I were roommates in college. We frequently saw each other naked when showering, getting dressed and even just beginning in the room. Both of us played football and were on the line. During the beginning of each season, due to the heat and 2 or 3 practices each day, we would get chaf between the legs. Our (and many other teammates) only remedy was to lay around during our free time without any underwear or pants, after medicating our raw groins. We didn't have air-conditioning back then so we keep the doors open with fans in the windows. We lived in a male dormitory and all of the football players showered together a few times everyday so nudity was no problem. However, my ex roommate doesn't seem to want to budge on getting naked in our hot tub. I've explained how natural it would be, but he stated that he knows it would be awkward because he gets erect every time he sees his wife naked. I'm thinking, everytime, at 60 years of age and after being married over 30 years? He's got it going on! LOL
It's been a discussion we've had over the 50+ years we've been nudists. Should we get dressed in our own home when someone comes to visit. We've said we wouldn't but end up doing so. It's a comfort thing for them so we become uncomfortable, in a sense.
We've had family sleepovers, after a party, and had immediate and extended family members stay a night or two. We keep our nudity confined to our bedroom and master bath. There have been a few times where both our daughters, separately, have come into our room or bathroom to ask a question, borrow their mom's hairdryer, curling iron or something else. Di and I are standing at our sinks or taking showers. They knock and then walk in. We've stood and talked with them for a moment but not long conversations. They grew up being nudists and have seen us naked throughout most their lives. But when they come to visit nowadays, we are always dressed, even if minimally.
I think some friends feel like casual, non-sexual nudity, in an intimate setting, might possibly lead to something sexual. We have a couple we are very close to. They know of our lifestyle and have made some mild joking comments, nothing mean or harmful. She's even made comments about not being able to do housework naked because her mother now lives with them. We've invited them to use the hot tub/spa and they've answered with, "we didn't bring swimsuits." We've extended the invitation to use it nude and they've declined, more than once.
We've ended up with two circles of friends. Textile friends and nudist friends. Our nudist friends live out of state so the possibility of mixing both circles is near impossible. I think they'd all like each other, but the textile friends would always be thinking, "are they going to try and get us/see us naked?" No matter how many times you try and explain it and educate them, most just don't get it and won't try it.
