Early one Saturday morning after some (very loud) sex, I went down to the kitchen in the nude to get some ice water. On my way back up I heard the bathroom door down the hallway open. Not only did that startle and confuse me because there wasn’t supposed to be anybody else in the house, but out came DS19 still in a sleepy fog…and also completely nude. I screamed, he let out an expletive or two, and we both disappeared into our rooms until getting up the nerve to face each other at breakfast.
It turns out he had decided to come home that weekend and pay us a surprise visit. After arriving in the middle of the night, he went to bed and then woke up to go to the bathroom assuming the coast was clear since nobody would be awake that early. Just. Really. Bad. Timing. But we can both at least laugh about it now. DH thought it was hilarious from the beginning.
Sooo…why was he also nude? It’s obvious why you were but seems kind of weirdly coincidental that he was also.
Not the PP to whom you're responding, but: Why does it seem "weirdly coincidental" to you, with your "Soooo..." as if it's odd?
There are many people who sleep in the nude; even if you claim you don't know anyone who does it, well, there really is such a thing, and it's not inherently sexual. Or maybe, since he came home as a surprise and maybe on the spur of the moment, the kid forgot to bring any pajamas and didn't want to sleep in underwear. Or, sure, maybe he'd been enjoying himself solo earlier that night and didn't bother to put anything on afterward. It's weird that you find it weird for someone to be in a bedroom or a bed while naked, whatever their reason.
This. Sleepwear preference is not a subject anybody talks about other than with close friends and in anonymous forums, because why would we need to? How I go to bed at night is a very personal choice and probably not known to anyone other than my spouse.
I’m an introvert, pretty conservative, not a risk taker…nobody would peg me for someone who wears nothing to bed 80% of the time and swims and lounges naked by the poolside after dark, yet it’s true.
Trust me, PP who thinks it’s “weirdly coincidental” - you have many relatives and friends who enjoy non-sexual nudity, be it sleeping nude, walking around naked when home alone, skinny dipping, cleaning or doing household chores in the nude on occasion, generally wanting to be free of clothing when it’s not necessary, perhaps all of the above, etc. You just don’t know who they are. You’d probably be surprised if you did and maybe you’d loosen up a little.
