The relationship between two guys, heterosexual or a bit homo, it doesnt matter. It is a deep understanding of friendship for one another, that counts complicity and who has more affection, even if it manages jokes about being gay or not ... this is not the point. The most important thing is the support it offers to one another. Do you believe that? Did you have the chance to live like a...

Return to DiscussionsI began sleeping naked when I was around 14 or so and had my own room. And it wasn't an intentional decision. I would wake up in the morning with my undershorts on the floor, as I had taken them off in my sleep. After awhile I began taking them off before I got into bed. I just grew to prefer sleeping naked. That was pretty much the case except while I was in the military and sharing a room in the barracks, feeling like I shouldn't sleep naked because of the frequent boner I had in the morning. The undershorts made it easier to hide. But over the years I have preferred to sleep naked and I felt like I should be able to walk around my own house as an adult naked if I wanted to, but learned a lot of guys have a hangup about that. So then began the frustration of having roommates as an adult who objected to me being nude around the house. The roommate that was ok with it was quite rare. Nowadays, I have my own house and no roommates and I am naked much of the time, as long as it isn't too chilly. I only have two friends that occasionally visit who know I'm a nudist at home, and they're the only two I have felt comfortable sharing with that about myself. (There was a third friend but he died) One of them comes to visit me overnight around my birthday and is one of the best buds ever. Oddly, I have never seen his dick and balls. I only saw his naked butt once. When he comes to visit he is ok with me being naked in the pool, then coming inside, grabbing some sort of alcohol beverage and watching tv with him and me being naked watching the movie. But he stays fully clothed. He tells me he doesn't even get naked in his pool at home. Whenever we have shared a hotel room on a trip he wears way too much clothing to bed. I have another friend I have known since forever and somehow at some time it came up in conversation that he is a nudist at home, and of course I told him so am I. But, when he is at my house he never takes his clothes off. He is another friend whose dick I have never seen and I have known him a gazillion years. He gets naked alone at home, but not with a friend. Weird. He and I went camping a couple times, sleeping in the back of his van. I was naked, he wore shorts. Anyhow - it would be awesome to have a buddy that would come over and hang out with me, drink booze, get naked, watch tv or get in the pool. We don't have to mess around. I just want a dude friend that's cool, easy going, and likes being naked. Simple, right??
I think it is funny how people are so thrown off by nudity. Granted, to be fair, some people make it weird by being inappropriate when they're naked, but I think majority of us are sincere with your non-sexual nudity intentions. I've slept naked since I was 11/12 years old. Even going to college I just told my roommates that I slept naked and all of them were fine with it. I stayed on campus my whole time there and shared a room with 4 guys. After I joined the military, I've only had a few roommates. Majority of them were fine with morning nudity too. The friends that I met while in the military were mostly okay with it. I even had some of them join me at nudist resorts. I would say about 30% of the people that I were friends with in the military were not okay with any kind of nudity, 40% didn't mind if I was naked, and 30% would casually get naked as well.
Ive had a very similar experience with nudity amongst my mid and later life adult friends. I discovered nudism when I was a teen when one of my friends whose family were nudists asked if Id like to go on vacation with them. I accepted and that started several years of going to nudist resorts, camping and hanging out nude with men, women, kids and unrelated families. As an adult I remained a nudist sleeping, swimming and hanging out nude. Whereas I think many people are fascinated by the idea of doing it, it takes a spark of exibitionism to try it the first few times. Then youre hooked! Now I spend as much time as I can nude but, like you and others here, have not found many local or nearby friends to hang nude with. I still havent found a way to bring it up in conversation to see if others are into it without seeming weird! My wife tolerates it but (so far) wont go outside nude unless its dark and then only to our private pool! Heres to the journey and finding one another!

I am always naked when possible. I assume anyone who knows me, knows that about me. Anyone who visits knows what to expect. Some of my friends and/or acquaintances stop when they arrive as well. A few of my textiled friends also expect me to strip when I visit them and often mention being surprised if I don't disrobe shortly after arriving. Growing up naked made being naked with loads of others natural and normal long before I knew of sex, so nudity has never been particularly sexualized. Reading your post caused me to reflect on many of my own experiences. I have never been one to want to make others uncomfortable. There have been times when people would be working on something on the property where I live that would unexpectedly come across me nude around the house or yard. If we had any interaction, I would offer to put something on. Usually they said it was not necessary.
There have been 2 occasions when I was nude on local beach, public nudity is not legal where I currently reside, where people came upon me before I noticed and could cover myself. Being directly above me before we saw each other, I expected very different reactions than I received. Being that I was naked on a public beach where it is not legal, I expected to get some grief from them. Instead, both time I was met with sincere apologies...not like they were startled or nervous. They seemed like very sincere, genuine apologies for interrupting my Zen moment.
I have spoken to others who know me about these experiences. Most of them assume that others confronting me unexpectedly when I am nude do not feel uncomfortable because of my attitude/demeanor. People always tell me that I am no different in situations when I am clothed or naked. They think that my relaxed, comfortable, non-issue attitude whether clothed or not helps others to remain at ease.
Truth be told, I have no idea if that is actually the reason or not. I do know that I have rarely had negative reactions to people being around me when I am nude, whether or not it was expected.
