allez cuisine!
I always walk around naked for 15-20 minutes to cool down. I'm an introvert, i don't meet that many people, so I keep my curtains open. So far, no results yet.
I put on whatever I wore into the bathroom, then change into new clothes in my room.
Usually towel into bedroom.
In college when I shared the bathroom and bedroom with my roommate I'd take boxers into the bathroom, put those on after I dried off, then finished dressing in the bedroom.
But if I know no one is home or around, I may walk naked from the bathroom into the bedroom and hang out for a few minutes, just to feel the thrill of the cool air all over my naked body.
After getting over teenage self-consciousness, my brother and I "agreed not to care" about that stuff, and now don't care about changing around each other. It's not a big deal at all. There comes a point where you realize we're all the same species and there aren't any surprises, and that simply being naked in front of someone doesn't mean you will magically be mindswept into fucking them lol.Originally Posted by 07430
I'm not sure whether girls or guys are more averse to being seen naked by a member of the same sex. What do you think?
If Joy's chap is here, I take a towel into the bedroom. If he's not, I peel my skin off first.
I used to have a sea green bathrobe, but I eliminated it in my quest to end my impending slavery to materialism. I don't miss it. It took up too much space in my closet and caused everything else to fall down. I don't really pay attention to what I do after I leave the shower because I'm usually too tired and I think it involves having a towel around my head and looking for things to wear, somewhere, because I put off my laundry a lot and it may be a challenge. Anyway when I lived with other people it would usually be more pre-planned and dressing in the bathroom, although when I lived with other people having my clothing all over the floor in every room wasn't acceptable and so it didn't happen. But now it does. Oh dear.

OK, so I'm glad most of you guys are like me. I HATE to have to get dressed in the bathroom, which I'm glad doesn't happen very often. I always use a bathrobe or a large towel to roll myself in and walk out the bathroom... And I love to just sit around in my bathrobe for as long as possible, unless I'm in a hurry in which case I just dry off and dress right away. Sometimes I might also walk around naked for a couple of minutes if the place is warm and there's no one (important) around. I've known people who always take their clothes into the bathroom and do the shower&dress thing in less than 5 minutes, but I've never really admired them. Also, I don't care if ANYONE sees me in a robe or a towel, as some people do.

One time this guy exposed himself in front of me, and I shoved him out of the room, it repulsed me so. He reaked, and it was gross, and it was less gross to shove him out of the room even though it meant pushing my palm against his chest and pushing him out the door then tolerating him inside. Afterwards he seemed a bit "shocked" though. And I left him outside for a while with just a towel. Then my friend "encouraged" me to let him back in. And he went off to his room in a kind of sulk.
Anyway, I only later found out that that behaviour from him was kind of normal. And that my friend just tolerated it because he was "gay". Go figure.
Gee, I sound like a girl.
@Warlord: what's that supposed to mean?

Actually I have a funny story what happened once. I was in the shower at my parents. And when I came from the shower, I was wearing a towel and was going upstairs, and my sisters friend was there. So she was like:"hi", then I covered my chest with my hands, like girls would do, and screamed IIIIIIIIIK! in high pitched voice, lol.

I do all my laundry, bathing, dishes in the shower, then I go to sleep on my hammock outside to dry what I'm wearing off. Clothes dry must faster when you're wearing them.
@ polikujm: Do you bathe with your clothes on, too? Is that how you do the laundry?
Oh ok, I thought you were making an association to something else, like something "I've" said... That's a fun story, btw. (: I've been in similar scenarios. I remember once (when I was about 13?) I was alone at home and had just gotten out of the shower, took my robe off, turned up the stereo and my mom suddenly came from work and caught me singing a love song in front of the mirror, naked, lol. I stood there shocked for a second... I wish my sister's friends caught me by surprise like that though. I'd be lucky!

But when I know my roomie is not home, and will not be home, I tend to do whatever I feel like at that moment. Sometimes that means walking around naked, other times it does not.
In change rooms I'm that person who doesn't care that they're bare-assed naked in the middle of a bunch of strangers. I just don't see the point in dicking around with keeping a towel up and struggling to put your clothes on underneath. During lifeguarding/instructing certs I became lazy and said fuck it to that nonsense and just stopped caring about being naked in the change room. I'm in no hurry, just doing my business then moving on.

Very busy with work. Only kind of around.

If I knew everyone was ok with it I wouldn't hesitate and hide nothing, and basically enjoy the raw natural-ness of it. I don't have anything to hide or be ashamed of really. Growing up when I was young me and my brothers didn't really care, and we even used to skinnydip with my cousin in his pool. It was great, water feels great and free, and you move so much faster in the water. Then as we got into middle teenagehood all the self-consciousness and taboos creeped in, and this kind of innocent behavior would be judged and condemned as "Ewwww, weird, that's gay!" (the worst possible self-conscious fear criticism for teenagers). I think the same judging would've happened if I ever tried it in school locker rooms (which I never did - I knew it wasn't the thing to do).
I wonder how many other people are like me - people who don't care about being naked around others but instead turned it into a taboo because they didn't want to be seen as weird or singled out by others.
Now I'm kind of over that teenage fear of being singled out, thus me and one brother agreed to not make a big deal of it. I'm still hesitant in most public places, but I'm trying to get over it, and all along kind of wished that I could let go of this taboo and just not care about what ppl think.
About modesty, it really depends. When I feel at home I don't like clothing. It really depends how well I know the other people... if they're kind of friends or slight acquaintance and we're not very close, I don't want to be naked around them... Maybe it's that emotional nakedness and physical nakedness go hand in hand for me? I like to have the "whatever" attitude, but I can also be really self-conscious.
Yeah, there is an element of that too.
I've been like that on and off as well.Originally Posted by Loki
Yeah that's probably part of the thrill for those who like to do it lol. I will admit, times where I've wanted to do it, that's been part of the motivation. It can be an attention-seeking rush, and I guess it psychologically mirrors people wanting to be "naked" in front of themselves metaphorically (as in, feel comfortable with their own emotions and stuff). Also, it can be an attempt to overcome social insecurity by like "if my peers can accept me 'naked' than I am accepted fully".Originally Posted by Allie
I'm just going to say that this topic hits a very deeply seeded issue that I have related to self-consciousness that I've had to deal with for the majority of my life to the point that I'm basically embarrassed to elaborate further in detail.
More deeply seeded than anything I've probably talked about on this forum.

It doesn't sound like it to me, not about things like this:Originally Posted by Allie
That just sounds like sexual harrassment to me, honestly. I don't think that sort of thing is okay unless the person they were doing it to was okay with it, and I know I would feel really uncomfortable and violated if I had experienced that.a straight SLE girl who'd tell me every day how hot I was, or the IEE girl who'd grab my ass or grope my chest to be playful with me. Or a game that this same group of girls used to play where they'd squeeze one of your breasts and shout, “milkshake!” before you can cross your arms (it scared the shit out of me every time, and I've probably hit at least fives different girls purely out of reflex for doing that to me).
No, it's more just a social anxiety sort of thing. I'm just not comfortable in that state in a public-ish sort of setting when people are around.
Basically I constantly feel like someone or a group of people are always looking in my direction and it's a rather suffocating feeling.
