I would say, depending on how close you are with your friend, it would be fine. My close friends and I have seen one another nude a gazillion times, and there was never any weirdness....bring it up in conversation and see what he says..
- alx,
Two seperate singles lol. I've top and tailed for the night in a single and that was enough.
.... I know the friend I'm sharing with is a virgin and a bit reserved when sexual topics come up in convo generally. I met him through another friend so we aren't mega close.
I was just wondering if there were any kinda unwritten 'man' rules?

I'd say consider your own comfort first, and if he is uncomfortable, how does that affect your comfort level. I'd just do it and if anything negative was said, I'd take the offense and let him know that where I came from men had no inhibitions about appearing nude in front of other men, and where was he coming from? That should put him at ease at best, or set about his working out his discomfort at even better. If he's just a total prude, he'll just close his eyes or block it out and if he does that, what does it matter?
- art,
Seems to me there are two ways to handle it, depending on how close friends you are.
You could discuss it, and work out some ground rules, or
You could just strip naked as you usually do, climb in your bed and not worry about it. Which might well lead to a discussion!
I've shared rooms with friends on many occasions, and I've always done the latter. My friends have always done the same.
If you don't treat it like a big deal, it won't be a good deal.

Golden rule I have always used in this situ, is if I don't know any different, min wear a pair of boxers / briefs, and take it from there.
I was going to start off with "as far as I'm concerned", but you're not really asking that, are you OP? I guess it would be best to tell this guy how you go about your day and ask if it's going to be awkward for him. If he says no, then you're golden. If he says yes, offer to not walk out of the shower naked or something. Then you've shown him you're willing to compromise, and you don't have to sleep in your clothes like a chump 
Good luck.
Good luck.
I'm a nude sleeper as well, but on the occasions where I've shared a room with others, I've always worn at least a pair of underwear, or sometimes a pair of running shorts to bed. Everyone else always did the same. That seems like the reasonable a courteous thing to do. I mean, seriously, it would be that big of a deal for you to have to do this and not sleep totally nude for a whole 2 weeks?
Funny that this topic has come up!! I'm pretty much dealing with the same situation. I have a friend that I've known for probably 30 yrs. He's straight, at least for all practical purposes, but I KNOW he's fooled around with guys as well. He has a girl friend, but they pretty much broken up and he doesn't spend that much time (or live with her) anymore. He wanted to resume the friendship. Not to make the post too long, I won't say anything else as far as background info is concerned.
Since Feburary, he's been spending a couple of days at my place almost weekly. When he's here, he sleeps in my room on a mat on the floor. He could sleep somewhere else (and has a couple of times). Of course I LOVE it when he sleeps in my room. It's almost like teenagers having a sleepover.
OK, to the topic under discussion. I sleep in the nude and was wondering if I should go ahead and do so while he's here as well. I finally decided, out of respect for him (he may not WANT to see a fat/hairy guy in the nude) to wear boxers or some gym shorts to bed. That's what I've been doing. He always go to bed practically fully clothed and uses to blankets to cover himself and make himself into a 'cocoon'. I don't know how he does that, I'm too HOT in my room and usually never even cover myself with a sheet.
It been a few months now and I've been thinking about HOW I can tell him I sleep nude. Last time he stayed over he slept downstairs on the couch and the next morning he gave me the perfect opening for the 'nude' discussion.
That night I knew he wore some sweatpants to bed. He had told me he always at least wears some sweatpants to be because he never knows who will come in to the room at night. I can understand that, when he was younger he shared a room with three of his brothers and now his sons often come over at odd hours and spend the night.
He was telling me over breakfast that he got hot during the night and was wearing sweatpants....I never let him finish that sentence. I told him I hang my underwear on the door knob. He looked at me kind of puzzeled and I told him I sleep naked and hang the underwear on the door knob in case there's an emergency during the night and I have to leave the room.
That's when we had the sleeping naked discussion. I told him the only time I wear anything to bed is when he's spending the night in my room.
He said; "I'm sorry to disrupt your routine." I told him that was fine and it was out of respect for him that I wore something to bed.
Anyway, now that we've had the discussion; we'll see if he's open to at least my sleeping in the nude!

I actually think it's quite rude to assume he'd be ok with it.
If I was sharing a room with a friend, regardless of sex and how well I know them, seeing them naked is just so unnecessary.
Put some clothes on ;-) The fact that you had to start a thread here to ask, means you should already know the answer! If you think it was ok, then you would have done it already! ;-)
