And so the topic that drew you out was nudity? lol

I'm not uncomfortable with my body in general- I don't get self-conscious when going to an OB/GYN or anything, even though I'm fairly exposed. But if I have the option to not be naked in front of people who aren't my boyfriend, then that's the option I take.
Same here exactly........... except for the OB/GYN. I'm a guy, I don't need to do that.
On a broad sense, all forms of embarrasment at being seen naked in front of others disappeared during my time in sabaneta. In case you don't know how prisons work, I got 2 words for you: Communal Bathrooms. Hell, the "Shower room" (if you can even call it that) was just a hose in the backyard.
So yeah, any inhibition more or less evaporated over time. (At the very least they had the dignity of putting up real high concrete walls, and there are no tall buildings anywhere near that dump, so unless you were flying above the place, nobody could see anything)
However, I prefer to be dressed simply because I feel more confortable like that. I like my pants, though I ditch the shirt any time i get the chance. I hate wearing shirts, and if any of you lived here, you'd hate them too, Venezuela (or at least Zulia in particular) is WAAAAY too hot, the sun in here is SCORCHINGLY HOT.
So, I feel like I'm suffocating when I'm wearing a shirt, and yet I have to wear one, because going on the street shirtless means a fine by the cops, and going to work shirtless means a boot up my ass. Reina is the same way, she goes topless around the house most of the time (or at least at noon from 11 to 4 pm which is when the heat is JUST TOO DAMN MUCH >_>). Since its just us and the kids she's not embarrassed or anything (though she does closes the curtains). Only exception is our older kid Danny. He's already 10, going 11 soon, but when he's around she doesn't go topless (her decision, she says he could develop complexes about that, I dunno why, I didn't developed any, and my mom used to go topless around the house too due to the heat)
(Little off-topic note: Since he's her son from her previous marriage, he lives with us for 6 months and then with his biological father for 6 months, so when he's away that's when she goes topless)
And lastly our little girl Annabell, good lord in heaven, I think she's a full nudist. Admittedly, she's only a toddler, so she probably hasn't developed any real sense of embarrasment, but still, when she's on the house she's either naked or almost naked the entire time (when she gets home from school she's in her undies, but after dinner is full commando till next day) I suppose its not so bad since I don't let her get outside naked (and even when I do get her outside, I NEVER EVER let her play without my supervision, there's just a lot of sickos out there) but sometimes I wonder if I should get worried, or start talking about her that as she grows up she can't do that.
hummm.
Either way, no, I have no issues with nudity, I'm simply more comfortable with my pants, and I agree that we shouldn't go full naked with strangers, maybe significant others and/or real close relatives, but that's it. Its a security thing mostly, we live in a really sick world, no need to be baiting the sharks with some fresh blood.

What are your thoughts? Are you embarrassed or not? Why? Is it because, like my wife, you are overweight, and thus have low self image, or another reason? Are you like me, and don't give a flying proverbial?
thoughts are, do whatever. if it was me, i'd give people the respect and keep my clothes on, or boxers. i'm not embarassed, but i do not want confrontation.
i give a flying proverbial because i do. i'd be disgusted if i saw you. that's how my human nature works even if it was my eye that looked at u.
but if it's fun to be urself and make everyone tend to stereo-typically hate you, that's perfectly fine too.

The people at the car wash aren't thrilled about it either.

Are you implying that I take showers in public?

Because then you'd be right.

Reminds me of the time Homer walked in on Flanders while he was in the tub to look after Maggie since Homer had to run somewhere.
*Flanders stands up wearing a swimsuit*
Homer: You wear a bathing suit in the bathtub?
Flanders: Well yeah good neighbor, wouldn't want to accidentally see my doodle now would I?
Homer slowly: Makes sense.

As humans I don't believe it is our nature to ashamed of our bodies I think it is something we are taught from a very early age.

Heh. I scan the forums. But very rarely post lol. She's very opinionated. Enough so for the both of us.

Like a boss.
Nah, she probably just felt like throwing out a story she knew would make my face red. Plus I know she was rather appalled at the statement of letting your children play outside complete nude.

When I was younger, my friends and I would routinely go skinning dipping in his pool; the pool area was on a deck so technically people looking out their back windows that were over the fence could have seen us with our ding dongs hanging out.
As long as they are in a well fenced off backyard area, or out in the country where there aren't a lot of people, does it matter that much? Leaving out we don't know who old pikey's kids are, and if it's a 1-3 year old, it's harder to keep them in clothes at that point lol.

I can vouch for this.
I'd normally be ok with letting children play outside naked if we lived in a safer world, but we don't. Lots of sickos out there, and its better to be safe than sorry about this. On my house I have no problem with letting my little annie prance about on her undies/nothing, but if she wants to go outside, she gets clothed. NON negotiable.

We have a seven year old daughter. And I have a nephew I used to take care of when he was a toddler as well. So, I know it can be difficult to keep them clothed. And I'm sure it has a lot to do with how you were raised and such; not to mention everyone has their own principles. But Kynn and I just can't allow ourselves to have our daughter nude outside. Even gated. Even in the country.

Well obviously it isn't for everyone. But at the same time, it's a little high handed to come down on someone for that; different strokes for different folks and all that.

Its not high-handed (at least not in my opinion), its just that the standards have changed over the years. Back when I was a kid, crime was a lot lower than it is today. Venezuela was a hell of a lot nicer place to live. Things have gone downhill since then, and after seeing what I've seen, I can't be blamed for being a little paranoid.
Again I'd have no problem with this if we lived on a safer region. I don't consider nudity to be indecent, I don't stay nude simply because I'm more comfortable in my pants (though i always lose the shirt first chance I get, damn this heat)

I know the standards have changed, and I wouldn't blame you Rank or Fatal if that's how it is in your areas. At the place I live in now, if I had kids, I wouldn't let them go out in the backyard without at least undies on, since while we have two large fences, the back one isn't high enough; but if that fence was as large as the other two, I don't think I'd have an issue.

When I am home, I am almost always wearing just my underwear, and when my sister is out, I go nude. I don't really care about closing the curtains or anything. I do not tend to be naked anywhere out... used to go to a nudist beach when I was a kid, don't do that anymore. I do not get offended when I see someone nude at a place where it isn't inappropriate.
