The Fringed Gentian

Too many excellent puns to choose one as a title for this one...

So I went to dinner on Friday night with the remaining two as a late birthday lime. The conversation turned to in-house nudity. This isn’t the first time I’ve had this discussion with a group of friends and the content is always interesting to say the very least. The divergent views on what is appropriate or is not appropriate can be very enlightening.

It would appear that some people are extremely comfortable with nudity at home or around family. They lounge naked in just about any room in the house completely unconcerned about the presence of family members of either gender. Others wrap themselves from head to toe when stepping out of the shower and then screech in dismay if someone manages to glimpse a bare thigh.

As for me, I’m pretty comfortable with nudity. My mother has seen my bare body for the last 22 years. I tend not to lounge naked because I figure my step-father would find that a tad awkward though … but in the event that I’m home alone, a naked stroll is fair game… and of course, what better way is there to sleep?

What say you on the issue?

    I'm a stroller around the house naked kinda girl. I try and confine it to my room since my family are a bit "go put on some clothes girl", but when I am home alone...its all about the fan and my naked body...or if everyone is in their rooms and I need a quick stroll to the fridge...nekkid...I think this is why I love Finland...two words: naked sauna..! Do you think I'll get to use the Surfside sauna nekkid? Nope, didn't think so...

    LOL! That's mad funny lizzle! Does that mean I have to be careful about sitting on your couch? :o)

    To those of you who live with siblings/parents of the opposite gender, isn't it weird to have them see your everything all hanging out? How bout you bumping into them ass-naked in the kitchen or chilling on the couch? As I only child I have no experience with this, so enlighten me!

    Raiser, I already told you that you can't handle that blog :p. You wouldn't be able to stand for hours afterwards. They don't call me the 'little blue pill' for nothing.

    Actually...they don't call me that ... ever ... but the point still stands!

    My problem with you naked strollers are you become naked stroller parents. There are few things more disturbing in life than to see a parent without clothes on...

    *curls up and rocks back and forth*

    I'm not disturbed by seeing my parents naked *shrugs* Or maybe I am so disturbed I think its normal? Besides, I won't traumatise my own kids, since they will be non-existent, it will be the neighbourhood kids (as if they prolly aren't already) and my nieces and nephews...

    Today, the house was empty and I, like Jamie Oliver, was the Naked Chef! Oh, marie there are some rules in the house "So no sitting on the couch without clothes" is up there with "Wash your hands after using the bathroom", "Do not leave the last drop of juice in the fridge" and the other commandments...My couch is naked free...my bed however...but I change the sheets regularly, especially before sleep overs *giggle* Ok, got to go outside, and in order not to be charged with indecent exposure, need to put on some clothes...tootools!

    Seeing my family naked would be gross. They probably think the same towards me, so that naked thing fail in BIM. While i am in trinidad, naked all the way.
