room sharing

[ladristo]

During college, I had roommates that were comfortable and uncomfortable with me sleeping naked. Those that were comfortable slept naked themselves so it wasn't a problem. With those that weren't I would just wear shorts and take them off once I was under the covers.

If someone has been your friend for years...like best buds...I can't imagine sleeping nude is a problem.

talk it over with him first. cant assume folks will be comfortable with nudity.

thats something i had to talk to my roommate about. anytime he showered he would walk out his room naked to the bathroom and leave the bathroom naked when he was done. and a few times when it got hot he would lay out on the couch naked and i have to tell him to stop because it made me uncomfortable.

Let us know how it goes

If he is a good friend then what is the problem,when i have shared a room with friends/mates never had a problem being naked and yes a lot are 100% str8 guys.
We have even used the bathroom together one in the shower the other having a shave or a piss.
So unless your friend is a real prude then do what you would normally do.

I agree with hotswim and 092.... If one of my buddies (even best friends) did that i'd be like WTF man!!! and I've been in the swinger world and am quite comfortable around other men. but it has its place. its not going to kill you to throw some boxers on for a couple weeks. Or, as a few others have stated, ask him. But don't assume it's ok.

Just sleep nude and have a pair of boxers next to your bed to slip on when you go to the bathroom. Also comes in handy when housekeeping knocks on your door unexpectedly.

I would agree with shard and sleep naked. I don't see why he should dictate how you sleep. You are not forcing him to sleep naked with you. He is a guy, you have a penis and so does he. Nothing new.

There was once when I spent a few nights in a hotel room (separate beds) with a long time male friend of mine. I slept naked, and did not bother to slip on something when I went to the bathroom. My friend said nothing to me, but subsequently complained to his wife of my nudity. I did not care. We still meet up and this matter had not been brought up again. I treat it as though it is his problem, not mine. If he is almost 50 years old and is bother by the sight of a cock, then he is a cock. Not me.

I have spent night sharing a hotel room with a female friend (separate beds) and I slept naked. I slip off my boxers under covers. I slip them back on (my back facing her) when I emerge from under the covers of the bed.

It’s a cultural thing, isn’t it? I sleep naked. Were it I, I’d pack boxer shorts or be prepared to sleep in my boxers if seeing me naked seemed to bother him. It’s never wrong to make some effort on another person’s behalf.

Personally, I wouldn’t have any problem winging it, so to speak, taking measure and making a judgment the first night. Exactly how close are the beds, for example; I assume these are not bunk beds and you wouldn’t be climbing up and down from the top bunk; how much space will there be between you, that sort of thing? I wouldn’t be afraid asking him whether he cared, if it seems the thing to do. However, remember, if you ask, you have to respect the answer.

He might not care. If it seems awkward, maybe you could slip out of boxers with your back to him when getting in bed and slip them on when getting up. Would he really be upset if he accidentally caught a peek? That seems to me to be a little much for two guys sharing a room for two weeks.

I wouldn’t normally expect to wander about a room nude, sitting on my bed nude, around just anyone, first night out. While it wouldn’t bother me I understand some people are different. Some guys at LPSG claim they’ve never even seen another male’s penis. It’s amazing to me, but I guess if people never lived in dorms or frat houses, were never in the military, don’t shower at the gym, whatever, maybe, that’s their normal.

Actually, what I’m wondering, isn’t anybody going to wank for two whole weeks?

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! ;-)

I agree that sharing a room is about compromise. If one guy smokes at home, it wouldn't be cool if he smoked in the room just because he does it at home. If one guy sleeps with music on, it wouldn't be cool if that kept that practice at the expense of his roommate.

I've shared lots of rooms in the past couple years, and every time I discussed it first. Maybe it was just a joke like "Oh by the way, I sleep nekkid" or more involved conversations ahead of time about attitudes on nudity.

Maybe you could work in a warning, like "Hey, did I tell you I usually sleep nekkid?" and if you really want to be courteous, you can ask if thats a problem. If you are splitting the costs and sharing a room, you should treat your roomie with respect as you would wanna be treated.

Hopefully he won't have a problem with you being comfortable. If he does have a problem and you just can't sleep with clothes on (I hate it), slip your boxers off under the sheets, and slip them back on when you get out of bed in the AM.

I say open up the discussion, that's where it starts. U wont know if he comfortable/uncomfortable unless u ask him, or tell him your sleepwear preference. Who knows, you might get him to start.

Hey, who knows he may be a nude sleeper too. This is what I do. As I am undressing for bed, I simply say, "I generally sleep in the nude, if you have a problem with it, I can wear boxers or something." More often than not, they tell me that they are nude sleepers too and wondered about it too, others are whatever makes you comfortable, only one guy has ever had an issue with it, and requested that i take cover with a towel while moving around the room, he turned his back while I got into bed. Had a similar situation in a public shower at a campground. This was a huge group of mostly married friends. My best bud and I had an appointment in town that we had to keep, so we had to shower. I am a freeballer.. anyway we are stripping down and he gets to his underwear and has this puzzled look on his face; he just waits on me. So as soon as I get to my pants and drop them and he sees me naked, a look of relief comes over his face he drops his drawers and we hit the showers. Is what I am saying is that sometimes you have to break the ice like I did in the shower situation; and people always appreciate being before you do something that may be shocking to them.

 

[Longfun]

Sorry that last sentence should read being warned before you do something maybe shocking to them.

 

[ibisc]

I agree, I'd have boxers on, and see how it goes. You may want to bring up that you sleep naked usually and see what he says, he may too.

 

[JohnDoeXXXm]

wow dude he might snore a lot and then to you have to deal with that... or maybe he likes to open the window or put on a fan... people sleep in lots of ways that make them comfortable- my dad turns on the TV and can't get to sleep without the noise and the glowing light... rude to those of us who are within eyeshot/earshot.

Ask him what his night routine is so that you can jive with his-- snoring, sleep with a fan or with lights on or absolute darkness... all are 'safe' questions to ask that don't talk about your wang being out... then you can say -well I normally sleep naked- and just see what he says. He might think you're kidding, which is fine, too in case he's super tight assed about the whole thing. You should be able to sleep naked under the sheets, however- just slip your shorts down under covers if that's all that you can do.

Now that I'm in my last year of college I have a lot of friends staying at my place when they come into town or just want to party. I normally use bball shorts but if I'm drunk I sleep in just boxers. None of my friends have a problem with it, but I dont think I would sleep naked while they were here. I would feel awkward myself.

 

[nguyenpa]

I see no problem sleeping nude in same room, different bed with a male friend. probably with a close female friend too.

on the other hand I would not wander nude in the room if it may make him uncomfortable.

 

[kscird]

if it were me id have not problem you'd have to worry about me touching in but in all seriousness is it really gonna kill you one night to sleep in your boxers or wear a towel when you come out of the shower? now if you are wanting to let this guy know you are king of the hotel room then do what you would if he were not there.

 

[gobigold]

First off, let's separate being a "confirmed nudist" from casual nudity as it normally occures.

If someone I'm planning to stay with is a confirmed nudist and intends to be naked when I'm around I'd certainly appreciate knowing about it before my visit.

But, in terms of casual nudity, like sleeping in the buff, I wouldn't make any big deal about it. When the came to go to bed I'd just get ready like usual, wear shorts or a robe until I got to the bed and then just casually slip whatever off and climb under the sheets. Don't make a point of it, just do it.

I do think that I wouldn't walk around naked, and since it seems to me to be common courtesy to close the bathroom door when I have guests I don't see the issue here either. Do you really expect to treat your guest to all sorts of gross things that adults do in the bathroom? Taking a crap, tweezering out the random nose hair, etc. For God's sake, close the door.
