I am 53, from the boomer generation that had Physical Education classes in high school and college, with the accompanying nudity in the showers and occasional nudity in the all-male dorms, or in the military if you served.
I own a 4BR house and rent to three guys from church. They are in their late 20s and early 30s and have never experienced male nudity and thus totally freak out even when I make a midnight trip to the kitchen for a snack or early morning trip for coffee. It is a real issue for them.
My internal compromise is that I go shirtless all the time, and boxer shorts (hey, it's Florida!) but how do I convince them that casual male nudity like I experienced in my own 20s and 30s is NOT a big deal? PS: Their aversion is not a religious thing. They have just never been around it.
You might get some of the brochures from TNS and/or AANR and leave them around or possibly print out from TNS's website under Resources, the 205 Arguments in support of naturism.
we have a pervert and if were sunning on the privacy deck he always has business on the roof of his storage building. he once told me he couldnt stand a naked man. oh well
It IS your house. At the same time it would have been appropriate for you to discuss this with them before you rented to them. This could have allowed them to make a decison before moving in.
