Any guys relax nude with each other?

[b.c.]

I used to hang around the house nude all the time and frequented a northshore nudist park (for well over 10 years).

Truth is, over time I gradually lost interest in the latter, and at about the same time along came "the storm" and the changes that came with it...among them being a change in priorities... a clarity (purity?) of view whereupon one realised what (and more importantly, who) really mattered. Anyway, I never went back, and haven't missed it.

But hangin' around in the buff is still a lot of fun.

I think the biggest hangups that people have about nudity is that nudity equals sex. And for most people that's what it is.

I think body image issues would be the biggest hangup about nudity for most IMO.

Now in a situation where everybody is cool and acting like a regular situation and being nude? I'm totally cool with that. I think that's what fascinates me about nudist camps.

I think that attending such camps would help the aforementioned persons to overcome their body issues as nudists don't make an issue of our different shapes and sizes.

Having lived most of my life on the other side of the Atlantic I am used to the casual attitude toward nudity that is not found here in the states. I have six brothers and none of us feel the least bit embarrassed about changing in front of each other. We used to skinny dip in our pool all the time with our friends, with our parents blessings. You won't see that happening here in the states unless the pool is completely secluded. There were times that we would shoot hoops after swimming or have a friendly game of pool without ever getting dressed.

I think Mum was uneasy some times, especially after we got older and started to mature cause she would stay in the house instead of comming out by the pool. If it were just me and my brothers she would sometimes come out but if friends were round she stayed out of sight.

My roommate and I spend a lot of time in our boxers in our dorm room. Studying, watching the telly or listening to tunes you'll find us in boxers or butt naked. If someone knocks on our door, they just might be greeted but a butt naked male.

Never been into that with my friends. If I was hanging out with a dude like Scott Taylor, or Jeff Stryker it might be cool...

I agree with Jake: Real masculinity is being able to hang out naked with your buddies -- swimming, at the gym, watching porn, whatever.

My buddies and I enjoy watching porn, and we happen to jerk off together. The focus is on the porn -- not each other. Being able to sit naked and jack off is a bonding experience. It shows that we trust each other and that we are totally comfortable with each other.

I've got a question for the group - not sure if this is the appropriate location for it or not, so if it isn't, my apologies.

I'm just curious - do any of you enjoy relaxing nude or say, in your underwear or other shorts with your friends? This is for everyone - straight/gay/bi - I'm intersted in some perspectives.

Likewise, if we're at someone's house watching the game or a movie or something - a lot of times we'll end up throwing on some shorts or boxers and hang out that way. It's just much more comfortable. Half of my friends are single, others are married. Could be becuase some of us are friends from the dorms in college that we're used to seeing each other that way (btw - we're in our 30's now)?

Just wondering what everyone else does with their friends - is hanging out nude or w/very little clothing something others do? If so - where at?

Great question. Hang out with friends in various state of undress all the time. I'm naked at home 90% of the time. My friends know to get comfortable when they are here as well. It's no big deal. Not sexual at all. just guys being guys.

Does skinny-dipping in a heated outdoor pool count?

Granted...I'm gay! However, in a perfect world, wether in a group of straight or gay men, I have alway's thought, " why does there always seem to be an expected agenda?" Wether being accused of sexual desires or advances by a straight man, or a gay man automatically assuming that just because a group of guys feels comfortable enough to hang out together in boxers or sweats, there must be sexual advances being made here! When,.. HELLO!!! Just cause a guy takes his pants off in front of one of us doesn't mean he's looking for anything other than relaxation! For whatever its worth, I wish we all could and there was no other reason than just taking some layers of clothes off!

Exactly. as we get older society tells us we have to cover up...be discrete...there is nothing wrong with uncovering and being comfortable...and I agree with you, why do people assume that once you disrobe there is an agenda behind it??? You hit the nail on the head malinariboy8.

I prefer to be nude at home.. and am usually. So when I get a chance to have a friend over that is also a nudist I do. I've loved being nude for as long as I can remember and I don't see it changing anytime soon.

i would hang out naked with you anytime...

 

[erratic]

Yeah, but it's a spontaneous thing. During the summer it happens all the time. During the winter, meh. At the gym, all the time; at someone's girlfriend's parents' home, not so much.

 

[mwesty]

I go to the steam or sauna often with my guy friends. No big deal

 

[bigdick69]

in college i lived with 3 guys. we all tended to hang out in just our undies -- white briefs. sometimes one of us would get a boner and really tent the briefs, but it was no big deal...

 

[scarletfury]

I wouldn't say I relax nude with friends but sometimes we strip to underwear and hang out.

 

[D_SharronTaint]

we're not considering it "hanging out nude" when we do it, but i have a hot tub and host bbqs/sports nights and shit for my friends and co-workers. if we use it, most of us just go in nude. i see most of them at the gym at work anyway. same goes with when my brothers visit.

we just bullshit w/ each other though and drink beer. ive never thought about it any more than that.

 

[SR_Manny Manparts]

it would be fun to do!!!

 

[aegis100]

My buddy and I do it all the time. We sleep together sometimes naked sometimes not. We play x box, watch TV, hang out in our boxers as well. Hell, we even give each other back rubs in our underwear. We change clothes, shower, pee, etc. in front of each other. He is completely straight, a real pussy hound, and he knows I have bi tendencies. We are just that close and comfortable with each other.

I think it's just a matter of what you and your group of friends are comfortable with. Everyone has their own hangups about nudity - body issues, hair, dick size, etc. My feeling is, all of these issues are pointless to worry about - love who you are and be done with it. But that's really another discussion altogether.

I am gay and my roommate is as well - there is no attraction or hanky panky going on between us at all. I like to be naked and he is very shy. He's quite ok with me being naked in the apt but I limited it to my room pretty much. I feel that sitting naked on the couch with him watching tv would be pushing the issue a little. Although, we're basically just roommates, not exactly friends, and don't spend a lot of time together anyway. Still, trips from my room to the bathroom, or the kitchen to get a drink or whatever - I don't make an effort to put any clothes on. Several times I've been in the shower when he's come home and unknown to me, has a friend with him. I come out of the bathroom naked and they both see. The point being, it doesn't bother me and doesn't seem to bother them.

I think MOST guys would agree that being naked is comfortable, but mostly when they're alone or are in a sexual situation. Too many people equate nudity with sex and that's a huge fallacy I think. But, nevertheless, it is the way it is. I think you should do what is comfortable for you. Everyone is going to have a different opinion about it. Some valid in your eyes, some not.
