What a pathetic lameass postie. I respect you didn't want to make a scene, but I'd have told him to grow up.

While you are free to do what you want, it is not appropriate to impose your lifestyle on others when it causes them to feel uncomfortable. Have a pair of shorts handy for when someone comes to the door, it's really just being respectful to the feelings of others who do not share the lifestyle.

Not everyone feels comfortable seeing someone's penis when they come to the door. Perhaps showing respect for others means you need to grow up.

I see a fine line between freedom and safety. Whereas everyone has a certain degree of freedom to do as they please, people should also have the option to keep themselves out of vulnerable situations. You can have a loose friendly pit pull but still recognize others might not see the dog the same way. The bridge between freedom and safety is respect (being able to look at twice, the second time from the other's perpsective) and responsibility (the ability to respond to rapidly changing situtations which make us socially adaptable). I agree that it's a good idea to have a pair of shorts handy. Remember some people have encountered sexual abuse as children and might not be as calm and rational about nudity as the readers on this site.
