How much Naked Time do you need?
First let me define naked time. Naked time is any period of time you spend naked where you aren't doing something that requires nudity.

Examples:
Showering or bathing - Not Naked Time
Having "The Sex" - Not Naked Time
Reading a book while nude - Naked Time
Surfing the Internet while nude - Naked Time

How much naked time do you like to get in an average day? I don't mean how much you'd really like to get. I mean more like, what is the minimum amount of Naked Time you can get a day and still feel like you've gotten a good daily quota?

Me... anywhere from 15-30 minutes works out best.

As long as it's practical, the clothes are off as soon as I walk in the door.

Does naked sleeping count?

Naked sleeping does not count if....
you normally sleep naked.
Naked time only counts when you are doing an activity that doesn't REQUIRE nudity to be done.
If you only feel comfortable sleeping in the nude, then it is a REQUIREMENT.

4. No one to be shy for...I live alone.
I'm just not into being nude except when it's "naked time". Maybe if I had a better body, I'd be happier about being nude more often.

6. So only naked with a mission for you then??
I don't have the best body in the world but dammit if I don't need to just be unencumbered by clothing now and then.

5. I have two daughters
so my naked time is somewhat restricted. When they're out of the house and it's warm in the house (summertime) I walk around naked all the time.

7. From the time I walk through the door at home after I get off work.
Until I get dressed for work the next day.

I love going around the house in the nude. As nature intended.

12. Yep. I think I might be a naturist at heart.
Nudity is especially necessary during the humid summer months.

15. You mean, on average?
I don't have air conditining, so in summers it can be nearly "anytime I'm not outside". In colder weather it varies substantially.

16. I mean..
How much gets you through the day?
I'd like to be nude more often, but as long as I can squeeze in about 15-30 minutes a day, I can continue to function normally.

23. It's a wonderful
California white wine. "Rich and lush, full bodied yet silky on the palate. This unusual blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Viognier and Muscat grapes lives up to its name. Nonetheless, it's well integrated, with peach, pear, apple, toast and spice flavors... bla bla bla..."

21. An hour or so is fine
Edited on Fri Jan-23-04 12:19 PM by supernova
esp after a bath. I don't surf the net nude because my desk is at an open window and, while the neighbors aren't right next door, the kids often cut across my yard.

edit: Nudity is primarily a summer activity for me. I get too cold in the winter.

25. Sorry but this one is too easy.
moof will not stoop to venilating fish in a barrel.

ok one.

Naked is a state of mind, so there is no time that is not naked time
because under the cloths, you know what, always naked.

so the retired Boxer is talking over old times with one of the new kids at the Gym and the old guy says " Yes in my younger days I was
something to see, why one time when i was in the irng & they took off my robe, men howled & women fained."
Really exclaimed the younger boxer ?
Yes he replied, I had forgot to put on my trunks.

27. Its too cold in my apartment....
Edited on Fri Jan-23-04 01:08 PM by foamdad
right now to do much of the "naked time". However, if I had to answer, I'd have to say whenever its convenient. I don't set aside naked time. But if I'm heading to the shower, catch something cool on the news or receive an email I want to respond to, I wont drop everything and clothe myself.

But maybe you have a point. Maybe I should set aside some naked time when the weather gets warmer. Its gotta be therapeutic. Not having all those clothes rubbing against your skin. I used to have a penchant for skinny-dipping and streaking in my youth. Maybe I should get back to that.

edit: I like how you added "the" to sex. Alot more fun to say that way: "I was-a having the sex." Sounds like Strongbad from Homestar Runner



"Im-a having the sex!"

28. I have to get nekkid...
and get into a tub of warm, peach-scented bubbles at least a couple of times a week or I'm impossible to be around. I've been known to lounge around the house nekkid (or nearly nekkid) a lot too. Usually though I like to have a little something on...if nothing else at least something to keep the boobies out of the way. :-)

36. We let our 2 1/2 yr old have Naked Time...
I usually let him run around all in the buff for 5-10 minutes before bath time. He even has his own Naked Dance.

32. The minute I get home from work, my clothes come off.

Sometimes, I don't wear anything else until I get ready for work the next morning.
