When I posted about finding a nude friendly flatmate a few people commented that I sounded obsessed with it and would possibly scare prospective flatmates away. I have to say I disagree with that. I’m not obsessed with being nude around the house, but I want the freedom to relax in my own home. My thinking was more along the lines of another commenter or two who said that it should be mentioned when interviewing prospective flatmates rather than cause tension by wandering out of my bedroom nude one day and find out that they are completely uncomfortable with it.
As it so happens, the discussion was brought up by the guy that is moving in, not me. We have lots of mutual friends on facebook and they all know of our respective nude tendencies and put us in touch. He’s also a photographer and has just been to Burning Man for the first time. We only met last night and I offered him the room straight away as there were timing issues with other candidates and he felt like the best fit. So, once again I will be living with someone that is comfortable nude. I don’t sit around the house nude often and that isn’t likely to change, but I like knowing that we are both ok with it if we do. Plus, there will probably be a nude housewarming.
Good news. People get so uptight about nudity. Pfft. I knew you would find someone. Cheers!
Good! Sounds like a good fit. Having a roommate you can feel comfortable having around is SO VERY important. I have had at least 21 different room/house-mates (only)….yes, really. While, most of them were OK, I was never out to any of them (at least not while we were roommates) and I certainly didn’t run around naked with them around. How much better it would have been if both had been possible!
Hmm… now that would be a fun housewarming party to go to. I wonder if that cuts down on how much people eat LOL.
I hope everything works out with your new housemate! Have fun at your home warming party.
I am glad you found someone that is comfortable with nudity too. Personally I am naked as soon as I walk in the door, all my family and friends know this and the guys will usually give me a heads up if girls are coming over (that is the only time I put pants on). As you said, it is your home and you should be comfortable in your own home.
Happy to hear that you found someone. I hope it all works out for the best for you.
