How do your roommates seem to feel about your penchant? Any reactions, verbal or non-verbal, positive/negative? Some men are uncomfortable and others just don't care. Others are attracted
 
Or do you enjoy the akwardness? Some dudes (jocks stereotyping) like to strip down and make others uncomfortable by doing so. I think it's an alpha/dominance kind of thing. If he can target others who are actually akwarded or bothered by it.

I keep finding myself being nude or half nude in front of roommates. I am the most awkward person ever. I hate everyone and want clothes to not exist anymore.[/QUOTE
I hope you mean you hate clothes. Anyway I to love to walk around with nothing on at home. It's a liberating feeling to not have to wear clothes. Where I grew up we were always half naked as you say. Just shorts no underwear and no shirt. That was the norm around our home. Walking from the bathroom after showering to our room buck naked was normal also. My parents thought nothing of it and would also walk around half naked. So to me you are just another guy like myself who doesn't think twice about walking around comfortable so to speak.
 
I had new roommates move in this month. So I did it once with my previous roommate (he was living here for like 4 months) and once just now with my new one.

My older brother tells me I thrive on discomfort. I just don't understand where and why people draw their boundaries. Everyone seems so sensitive to me at times.

Haha, I'm not an alpha (though I do wear jocks), but I do have a strong personality (when I feel safe).

Neither seemed to react actually.

If they didn't react that's probably a good sign then. Have they behaved awkardly since then? If not, then you might be in good company. Do they seem like people (dudes?) who have few body inhibitions themselves? Sometimes if one breaks the boundries and drops the towel others might follow out of relief.

That's good that you didn't get a reaction. For all you know your current roommates may actually be alright with partial to complete nudity in the home. They may even strip down and walk around like its the most natural thing in the world. By the way it is, kids have to be taught to wear clothes. So I know I'm not you but I would just walk around partially clothed some days and just in my birthday suit on others. To the point were I am not clothed most days.

They just get in the way. Why should I wear anything if I'm not going outside? If I'm sitting on common room furniture, I can understand keeping my ass covered. But clothes restrict how we understand and relate to our bodies. They limit how we may view them. Clothes can so easily block any chance a body has of being a sculpture, a beautiful piece of art.

Does all of that make sense to y'all?
 
Ok now I've got you. You're right we should love the skin we are in. The Greeks had it right.
 
I don't have a problem with nudity per se, but in a room mate situation it can be a problem. Some years ago I was approached about sharing an apartment with another guy I knew casually. For me it was a home away from home situation - I commuted to my perm home of weekends. Turns out this guy has no internal limits at all. I found it annoying to come home to naked and nearly naked guys in the living room, bathroom and patio on a regular basis. I did not feel comfortable having friends and co-workers in because I was embarrassed for this guy. I did mention it when it became a regular thing, but that didn't change things - so I found new digs.

I would talk to your room mates about this. Not saying anything does not mean they are okay with it. You might wake up and find yourself in an empty apartment because they kept their mouths shut and just moved. If everyone is on board - great, but grown ups do not just appear naked regularly around people they are not intimate with.
 
When I had roommates, we'd always lounge around in boxers and a t-shirt, boxers, or nude (pretty parallel to the clothes we slept in). No one seemed to mind, and friends who came to visit didn't seem to care either. Some of them would strip down like us once they got inside the house. We had a house out in the boonies, so never had anyone just "drop by."
 
It's only happened twice. I generally try to wear at least something because I feel more comfortable that way. I just get a little lazy at times, and see no reason to be embarrassed about it. Until I actually get caught, at which time I feel all conflicted.
 
I basically agree. Clothes are important for temperature regulation and for sun protection and protection against other hazardous elements. I also have a liking for clothes in a ceremonial or fashionable sense. However, I don't agree with the enforcement of clothes as a standard of modesty.

When you violate a common social norm, others have to wonder about your motive. Until they are sure your motives don't threaten them, many will tend to be awkward.

Others will assume your motives and either shun or join-in. . . .

Then, there's that little problem that "you hate everyone!" What if the room mates guess that?
 
Well you say you are comfortable being nude, but you have no pics that would suggest I would want to see you nude again and again and again... Maybe if I had something to judge on your profile as in cock pics maybe I could let you know if I would be offend by your nudeness as my roommate.;)
 
So you want to know what I look like, huh? Hehe...I did have plenty of photographs on this site before, but then I started a blog on wordpress. It has a photo of me on it and everything. I decided I wouldn't want my nudes connected to my blog, particularly because I've started a thread about specific posts here before.

I AM comfortable being nude, but that doesn't mean I don't feel conflicted about it at the same time. There's this tinge of failure I feel welling up in my chest when I'm caught nude, even though I believe I should feel different. It's almost as if I'm embarrassed to be me.
 
I am at home by myself a lot. When I am by myself or just me and my wife I am usually just in my boxers and a t-shirt. It is so comfortable and I don't think anything about it. When I am going out naturally I dress for the occasion. But at home I love being comfortable and that is usually boxers and a t-shirt. Plus my bulge show in my knit boxers. My wife loves to look at my cock away. She told me the other day she couldn't wait until I put my cock in her pussy again. Made me feel so goooood!
