Are aspies more (or less) ashamed of being nude in public?

I would not be ashamed of it, but I just would probably prefer not to......I like clothes.

I was mega-prude just like Ganondox when I was his age. It came with puberty, before that I was 'normal'. When I had the worse of it I could not take my socks off in public unless I was at the beach. When I went to do a little physical farm work at summer I had to wait every evening until everyone had taken the shower except me and only then I could take the shower 'safely', all alone in the public bathroom. I craved for shower after a day's work in the sunshine wearing long sleeve white shirts against the sharp corn leaves while picking the tops off.

During the decades I've become much less purde gradually, though I still have to remind myself every time I take off my clothes in front of others at places like public locker rooms or bathrooms not to feel embarrassed or ashamed.

In private I like to be naked, I always did. It feels so good. At home when the weather is warm and I'm alone I prefer wearing nothing on me. I admit I stripped off outside in the nature a few times when there was no one else but me, or so I thought...

I remember when I went to greece I saw women laying on the beach with their boobs out. But I could never do that because I wouldn't feel right. But it seemed acceptable there because nobody took any notice and lots of women were doing it as though there was nothing wrong, and they weren't Greek either because it was on a tourist holiday bit near the hotel, and most of them were English.

I can't see how clothes can be "comfortable", being trapped in my textile prison, is very uncomfortable. I'm actually wearing clothes now, only because I'm going out very soon, and just had dinner with the family, so don't want to become too comfortable nude. I hate putting on clothes again, unless I really have too.

I laugh when people say "indecent exposure" because how is nudity indecent? It's part of who we are. If humans are indecent then so are animals (whether they have fur or not). I don't call wearing clothes indecent either, but it's just not natural. My girlfriend, has Asperger's and see feels the same way as I do, about clothes and can;t understand why in this day and age we still are ashamed about our bodies and clothes is required by law in most places. France is nice, because pretty much through the whole control, you are allowed to be nude. If you on vacation, no doubt that you can walk nude from your hotel room to the beach. Europe is more open and accepting of nudity, then America is.

In America, society dosen't help nudity much at all. You walk by the cash and see magazines, talk about shagging, being the best looking etc. Shagging, fashion, money and getting wasted which is what most people are about in North America. I call that immature. I not into any of that, because I don't drink, don't care about looking like Brad Pitt or someone like that, I just accept who I am. Ad I don't care about shagging, at least not until after I'm married. Because of that stuff, I can see why people are ashamed of themselves and why most Americans see nudity as wrong or "indecent".

But even with all this fashion stuff and everything, naturalism is slowly rising. More and more Americans (and Canadians too) are choosing nude recreation. I study showed that 9% rather go somewhere for nude recreation. That number may seem small, but 9% of everyone is actually quite a lot. I believe that there is a future for naturism in North America, but it's gonna take some time.

Correction, they're called breasts...

And no, there isn't anything wrong with wanting to be free.

If I have to be nude in public, I strike a "David" pose.



Last time I was naked was at the gym locker room after working out to avoid this:

I woudn't be ashamed. I'd be arrested.

I wouldn't even want to have my shirt off in public, never mind be fully naked. =/

I don't like exposing my body...aside from my arms (in a t-shirt) I keep myself covered up. I even wear a t-shirt and boxers in bed...which many people find odd.

I fear that after the many years of feeling insecure about my body, I will never feel good about it at any stage in life.


Hahaha, omg. XD Yeah, I am similar to that. But cats do not make me feel as uncomfortable as other people.


The irony is that many people find that behaviour odd, while a lot of us are made to feel ashamed of ourselves and our bodies. I don't find it odd at all and I do not want to be made fun of because I prefer to keep clothes on.

I'm not sure why people would find that odd. If everyone slept nude or nearly nude than why do stores sell so many pajamas and nightgowns?

I like to wear fleece pajamas to bed in the winter and flannel or cotton ones in the summer. If it's hot I wear a loose t-shirt instead of the long sleeved pajama top.

I never worn clothes to bed, and think it's stupid since you already have blankets to keep you warm if it cold. I just couldn't image sleeping in clothes, how they get tangled and stuff *vomit* I used to swim with clothes on quite a few years ago, however the thought of it makes me sick.

Not odd to me, as I do the same. Well, unless I'm in a relationship. Then why bother going to bed with clothes on that you'll just end up removing!

I wouldn't go around nude. My ribcage shows just a little.

Same here!

The only drawback of sleeping in the nude for me is that my male parts stick to my thighs and they often get itchy... Sigh. Is it easier for women to sleep in the nude?

the people on here who want to be nudists should come join this: http://www.truenudists.com/search/

I'd get a sex change before I go around nude in public. That way, my exterior would match my interior and I'd have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about.
