I was chatting to a mate about how people live as naturists and the topic came up of living nude at home. I was hoping to see how often people who identify as naturists are nude at home? For me its every day, usually once I've finished work/going out for the day and nude to the next morning. For my mate, its all the time when his at home. 

So I was curious as to how often are you nude when at home?

In the winter months about 80 % naked and in summer 99%.

For me, it's 100% of the time. My birthday suit is my home clothes. In winter I keep an open robe if it's too cold (I don't want to push the heater for ultimate comfort), but once temperatures are OK, nudity is 100% at home.

I'm nude at home pretty much all the time. I don't necessarily remove my clothes the instant I come home, but they inevitably come off and stay off until they need to go back on. I work from home and spend a lot of time here, so that adds up to a lot of nude time.  At this time of year, I benefit from being in a fourth-floor apartment and having a supermarket on 1-3 give off a bunch of heat that rises up to my level, so I rarely need to either run the heat or get dressed out of cold.

On a somewhat related topic, I finally (at 53 years old) answered the door nude for someone today. Granted, it was my partner (who does not live with me currently) and she knew to expect me not to be dressed, but it went completely uneventfully. Within a few minutes she was nude as well and we enjoyed a lovely afternoon before getting dressed for dinner out.

That’s genuinely awesome, Mark. Not because of the nudity itself, but because of what it represents.

You chose to show up as you are, without drama, without performance, and it unfolded exactly as real life usually does… calmly, normally, uneventfully. That’s such an important reminder. So many of our fears live entirely in anticipation, not in reality.

You’re right to highlight the context too. Courage on one side, respect on the other. When those two meet, nudity stops being “a thing” and simply becomes a state of being. No shock, no tension, just two people interacting honestly.

Moments like this quietly rewire our confidence. You don’t come away thinking “I got away with it”, you come away thinking “This is actually fine”. And once that clicks, it tends to spill into other parts of life in very positive ways.

Thanks for sharing it. These everyday, uneventful stories are often the most powerful ones.
