Sleeping Naked
Return to DiscussionsSleeping naked for me began around age 12. The constant erection of an adolescent male is uncomfortable in jockey shorts. I remember one summer morning when I had kicked off the covers in my sleep. My mother came in to call me to breakfast. I got a good beating for my comfort. From that day on, she learned to knock before she entered.
My experience has been on-again, off-again depending on circumstances. I started as a juvenile; about the time I started going commando. This continued until I graduated and joined the military where it was mandatory to wear shorts to sleep in. As soon as I left basic training it was back to sleeping nude with my first wife. This continued through the marriage and divorce. When I married my second wife, I continued sleeping in the nude although she frowned upon it (very conservative). When my daughter was born, my wife at the time was adamant about wearing something in case I needed to get up in the middle of the night. I acquiesced until that marriage resulted in a divorce. For the last 28 years or so it's been sleeping in the nude, going commando and expanding my small circle of nudist friends and lifestyle.
Wearing anything to sleep is simply the sleep of the damned for me! I've slept nude at home for years, but when I was at other's homes, I would wear something (grudgingly) and got ZERO sleep. Over the years, I sleep nude everywhere now! If I am visiting somewhere and have to put something on for breakfast, so be it - but for sleeping, it's nude all the way!
So nice. Even as nudists, most of us probably have to wear clothing at some stage, so nighttime can be a nice clothes-free experience, unburdened by straps, cords and belts and other tight elements that are used to hold those clothes in place. So nice to give my body relief from such imprints on the skin.
Started sleeping nude as a teenager, wore less and less after marrying and now go nude every night except if staying with textile friends who dont appreciate the freedom of nudity.
What was your progression in wearing less and less and how long did it take?
Mine was long pajama top and bottom in winter and short in summer to short year-round to sleep shorts and no shirt to very short boxers to nothing;
Whole transition took about 14 years. If I had it to do over again, I would have begun sleeping nude as soon as I got married.
