Another approaching nude dinner & drinks has thrown up a question for me. I invited a new friend who I know is comfortable nude and likes to be that way on the beach and around the house, with or without company. Yet he declined the invitation because a dinner and drinks in someone’s home was too intimate a setting for him.
Is there a “correct” setting to be naked with friends? Should we restrict it to the gym change room or the beach? Some of my friends I know, don’t get nude with friends at all, just with lovers or alone. Personally, if it’s not making anyone uncomfortable, it’s legal and others might join me, I’ll be nude.
How sensible Brenton. I’ve always love to have sex outdoors. What could be more cool than doing that in a park with someone that you love or have just “hooked up with”.
I agree. If you want to be naked, then be naked. I love going around the house naked. Or work outside naked. Especially with a hot summer, it’s nice to feel the sun on your skin and be naked while you do gardening or tidying up the yard. Plus if the person that you live wants to do more, then it’s so much easier to not have to struggle getting clothes off. You are set to go.
The key is not making someone uncomfortable. I love to be around naked men, but if it’s an unconventional setting or a place you don’t expect to be naked, it could cause discomfort or a sense of being pressured. Also, you may find a certain man’s body totally hot and stimulating, but know him to be a jerk. Getting an erection sends out the wrong signal to this person you don’t like, but you can’t help it - his junk is in your face and clouding your judgement. Once nudity becomes commonplace, it ceases to be exciting and special. Bedroom, with lovers, nude beach, gym, nude-only parties, nude twister, online - all fine because people/guests expect it. Don’t open your door nude or spring your nudity on anyone you’re not sure would be fine with it. Streaking is ok too.
While I love being nude, certain contexts actually make it unappealing to me. I don’t find nude dining too intimate, I just don’t find it appealing. If I’m sitting down to dinner I at least want to be wearing some shorts. I’ve been invited to nude parties and I’ve declined because standing nude around a buffet table just grosses me out. But nude pool parties, or nude hiking or anything outdoors is grand. Nude game nights are fine, too, but somehow formal eating and nudity don’t mix for me.
