OK, I've looked all over the website for this information and, not seeing what I'm looking for, am starting a new thread to figure this one out.
What do we do when we're in others' homes? Especially if they're not nudists? OK, now I'm no Nudi-nazi, so I'm certainly not going to pop in, take my clothes off, and tell them that if they don't like it I'm leaving. BUT.... is it against nudist etiquette to sleep in the nude in their homes? Case in point: I'm going to my sisters house (maybe) for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Can I sleep nude at her house if I have my own room? (I'm not sure what the sleeping arrangements will be... I may go with safety and just sleep at a hotel.)
And what about at the homes of others who are nudists... can you just disrobe or is it good etiquette to ask first. I'm smart enough to realize that if you're going to a nude party at their home you can pretty well just go somewhere to disrobe. But what if you're just getting together?
So many questions... can you tell I'm still a fairly new nudist? LOL
Melissa

Melissa I have stayed at other's homes and slept in the nude. They were not nudists so I did not offend them by walking around the house nude. But once in the privacy of the guest room, I was always nude, whether relaxing or sleeping.

Melissa, IMHO, I do ask if I can get comfortable when in another nudist's home. Should I visit others' homes who are not nudists, I definitely remain clothed. I want to enjoy people's company and not offend. It may be my lifestyle 24/7 when possible, but I don't like to be "in your face" when with others. When you visit me and it's only me or Allen & me, you are welcome to disrobe when you arrive. :)
When I sleep over at non-nudists' homes, I sleep w/o clothes. However, I do keep a robe near by and if I have to get up during the night, I wear the robe.
Hugs, Cheri

Hi, Melissa,
I say--just DO it, and be comfortable! Or, if you need more guidance, ask Mike or Janet--TSSC. Your Swim Club meetings! I think they could give you the best up to the minute advice! (Yes, I think I mentioned this earlier, I a former TSSC member, who respect Mike & Janet)
I mean, in your own sisters house? WHY NOT! And especially, if you have you OWN room! So whose to know??
Otherwise, about a year or so ago, I traveled (a business trip) with a 'textile' friend and business partner of mine across several states, rfequiring several overnite stays on the road. While he slept in his underware (EVEN KEPT his HEAVY HOT SOCKS on), I, as I always do, slept in me 'birthday' suit! And walked nude to the shower in the am! There was no problem. (Now I DON'T, WON'T prance around his home nude this Thanksgiving, invited up for Thanksgiving dinner with his other half, friends, etc.) (Had my NUDE dinner at a local ID resort yesterday--the turkey, ham, potatoes, etc, was all DELICIOUS, and the camaraderie of all the guests just OUTSTANDING!)
And re visiting 'nudest' friends--just follow the lead, put your towel down on some chair, and join the party.
Melissa, I'm new to ths forum myself, but from the comments you've asked and replys received, you'll do fine! Best wishes, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Alright, it seems we agree that when in a non-nudists home you can be nude if you're in private/ sleeping. And when visiting nudists ask if you can be nude (except at Cheri's house, where I can get comfortable as long as it's just family there.) But what about if there are kids around? I have a 4 year old nephew who may or may not understand doors. Last year at Christmas he came to see me first thing in the morning- while I was still in bed- to tell me Santa had come.

Melissa,
Absolutely sleep nude if you're in a private room. As for your nephew walking in... Cover up with the sheets and explain to him that he should knock before entering another persons room. He'll probably be more embarrassed than you and it may even teach him the importance of observing others privacy. You could also explain to your sister that you want your privacy (you don't have to explain why) and mention that your nephew has a tendency to enter without knocking.
If he does enter and see you nude, make him feel comfortable with your nudity... Afterall, it is no big deal!
Cheers,
Spontanudity

In my book, a private room is a private room. I presume you wouldn't remain clothed in the bathroom or the shower. Likewise, you would change clothes in and out of clothes in your bedroom.
I've slept nude since I was a child, pretty well regardless of where I am. I might not strip down for a nap on a park bench, but even at summer camp or on church retreats I slept in the nude...long before I considered myself to officially be a 'nudist'. Its never been an issue.

Melissa,
You're gettin alot of good advice here and it all sounds about the same. If at a nudists home, just ask if you can get comfortable or wait and follow suit, birthday suit, when the host get comfortable. As for a non-nudist home, we've stayed with non-nudists many times and still sleep nude.
As nudists you become more creative about sleeping nude when around those who do not or are not nudists. But if you are fortunate enough to have your own room, I'd say go ahead and sleep nude. As for those youngin's that pop into your room unannounced, either lock the door or place something in front of it to give you enough time to slip on a robe.
First time we had friends over just for dessert and spa after dinner, it was a little strange having someone else running around your home nude. That quickly pasted and we look forward to having all our nudist friends over for a get together one day.

Only house I visit or used to visit was the Mother in law when her son didnt live there now he does , but I had confronted her about idea of me sunning nude in her backyard, to which she said its not private enough otherwise its ok and some or most of her neighbors have been known as peeping toms as she herself has caught one of them looking through her kitchen window from their own window hoping to see her in states of undress. But she said as far as inside I can wear almost anything I like in her home as long as it hides my genital area from her.
