Being nude

Post Reply New Topic

From what I've heard aspies either tend to fall to either extreme, not caring at all or being a megaprude. I fall in the later category.

I often do as well, though I'm trying to switch to pajama bottoms or at least sweats.

As far as the whole non-prude/megaprude dichotomy, I was definitely a megaprude when I was younger, though I have become somewhat more relaxed and "NT" about it. I'll often have days where I don't wear a shirt, but it's kind of embarrassing to do in front of other people.

I don't mind seeing my body or other people seeing it while changing, but I don't like the feeling of my skin touching my other skin (especially on my legs), so I wouldn't be naked any longer than necessary by choice.

it is better to sweat naked than with clothing on.

I don't like being naked at all. The only time I will be is when I'm taking a shower.

Aside from that, clothes on all the time.

I mostly have clothes on. One notable exception is when taking the shower. I even slept naked before and it felt weird.

I can't sleep clothed. I always awaken all sweaty.

I'm not a fan of being nude. I think because I don't like my body very much as it is not very attractive to me. For example I wouldn't do nudity in a public locker room at all. I even get changed as quickly as possible after a shower at home.

I would not be very comfortable seeing other people strut around naked either. Maybe I am just a mega-prude.

I used to be at the extreme where I would sleep fully clothed or wear long sleeved clothes even in the middle of summer. Now I have moved to a more 'normal' place where I will dress more normally.

I like being nude whenever I am in the shower, and whenever I am done with my washing process, I plug up the tub and let the water fill up a bit, then I sit down, and sitting in that water feels really nice (in a sensory way). However, in general, I am usually cautious taking my clothes off or being nude, since I don't want anyone peeping at me, especially in my room because I don't have a lock on my door.

Me too. I'm extremely self-conscious and also hate all the different textures against my skin. Better for me to have one constant texture that I know I'm okay with. I also will wear nothing but jeans and T-shirts, with a fleece sweatshirt when it's cold, and one set of pajamas that's tolerable. Barefoot in my house, tennis shoes and socks everywhere else. I also refuse to change in front of anyone else, though a significant part of that now is because I have self-harm scars that I don't want other people noticing, that are normally covered up by my clothing. I went to a summer camp in June, and I hid under my blanket to change.

I walk outside at night in my birthday suit

In the summertime at home I am usually just wearing my boxerbriefs. Sometimes after a shower I forget to put on underwear. Visitors have accidentally gotten the full monty before.

I always have worn as few clothes as I could get away with. in the military and business world, people routinely overdress for the conditions.

I agree, Aunt B! Seems silly to me, although sometimes extra clothes is needed for protection, as in the military or firefighting. But when that's not an issue, they should be able to dress for comfort and conditions.

In winter it's generally too cold but in summer I wear as little as possible.

even in the winter I dress in layers, a tank top, briefs, socks, thin pants, fuzzy jacket and windbreaker atop that. this is so when I enter a typically overheated interior space, I can quickly strip off outer layers.

It is only me and two cats who live here. Deduce from that what you may. Thanks to some neurological and endocrine conditions I get very cold very fast and have to pile on layers in winter. It is nice to use summer as a relief from that. I usually set the air conditioner no lower than 80F. The furnace, well, that's another matter - no way can I afford to run it at same temperature!! !
So, I endure winter and enjoy relief from the weight and pressure in summer.
