I sleep naked, and on cold nights just thrown on another comforter onto the bed. I sleep better in a coller room.

i started sleeping naked when I red how it is easier for the body to maintain homeostasis and an even body temperature if you sleep naked, whci gives you a better rest.

aanr.org has a listing of clothing optional clubs and resorts.

The rules for most clubs are that clothing is optional except in "wet areas" like the pool, Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and showers. In those areas nudity is mandatory. The resoning being that if you mix clothed persons and nude persons in such persons, the clothed persons are more likley to misbehave or engage in inappropriate behaviors.

I don't mind the nudity part, heck other than a brief glance now and then I doubt I would pay much attention at all in a very short time. I don't want to go to ogle folks, just to see if I like the sensation of being outdoors nude.

No. Shoes don't count. I wear shoes when hiking nude, or riding a bike nude. Unless I went barefoot 24/7, to toughen up the soled of my feet, my feet wouldn't be tough enough to handle some activities without shoes.

Clothes serve two practical pu8poses, which are warmth and protection. For some things you just don't need either of those purposes fulfilled, however proper sfety is just good common sense.

I also once modeled nude for an art class. They were impressed at how long I could hold still.

That's a good one! And it also makes great sense.

I'll put on a robe in the winter when it is cold. Otherwise, if home alone, no clothes needed.

I ofen hear stories about peopel wh onever considered going nude, bu tthem they were with friends who went to a nude beach or a nudist resort, and they were suprised at how mucy they enjoyed themselves.

We had chickens when I was growing up, and I'd say I'm not about to dangle MY bits around them. Chicken are one of those instances where I think clothing is warranted for protection. Perhaps your chickens aren't all that aggressive....

@snytiger6 My girls are highly civilized ! But then I have nothing that "dangles" either ....(ha)

@evergreen Perhaps the chicken yard growing up was a bit over crowded. It was only about ten by twenty feet, and there were about 30 chickens. I'd think they'd need more room than that.

I remember pulling tomato bugs off the tomato plants and throwing them to the chickens and how aggressive they got going after them... which is why, as a male, I'd be a bit concerned about my dangly bits.

burn baby burn !

@AncientNight I think the '20 minute rule' needs to be modified by basic skin color. If I spent 20 minutes in the sun I'd be like bacon -- extra crisp. Even with maximum blockage sun screen I begin to burn within ten minutes.

People who sleep naked usually have a more restful sleep. Without clothes it is much easier fro the body to maintain homeostasis, or specifically to matain a uniform body temperature while sleeping.

I was surprised that you specifically said you are not a naturist. However, on thinking bout it, naturists/nudists usually engage in social nudity. I hadn't thought about it before, but a person who likes to be nude, but only when alone, is not quite the same category as a naturist/nudist.

In any case, I tend to think other people should identify themselves as they choose, because theorectically they shoudl know themselves better than others could know themn.

Where do you live that nights dont go down below 144 degrees?.... Hell?

@lookinhard Oops! That should have been 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Hell has improved, I gather, The devil doesn't spend much time there these days, too many priests!

@lookinhard evidently we are all going to hell here my mother tells me, so I've been practicing sleeping naked for 50 years now. I'm ready

@snytiger6 If I sleep nude, as a stomach sleeper it's like sleeping on a short fat branch of 'woodie' all GD night!!

@Agr8m8 I'm a stomach sleeper, and especially if it's a woman's.
