My kids crawl into bed with me most nights so I dont


Also I can't sleep with my thighs touching. It's weird, I know, but god I can't handle it. When i sleep in my undies even I HAVE to have a blanket between them.

I can think of few things that make me cringe and feel super uncomfortable like being naked.

 

[Dancing Fire]

Never

 

[packrat]

never. a few, very few, times, I end up in just my underwear if I'm having some sort of early onset hot flashes or something, but that's few and far between. I have a body pillow so I always have that between my legs.

I have no opinion about what you wrote, or advice for you.
You feel how you feel.

I will say I felt exactly as you do up till around 8 years ago.
For me, I was ashamed of my body. (I'm not suggesting that you are too.)
I don't know why I changed but now I just accept how I look in my birthday suit.
It is what is is.

BTW, it has been the hottest summer I can ever remember and we don't have AC so sometimes I 'wear my skin' at home during the day.

Again, I'm not judging or giving advice.
Nudity is a very personal subject and I can think of few others that demonstrate how much people vary.

95% of the time

If I'm really really cold I'll wear a long sleeve shirt but almost never a bottom. I tend to sleep with my legs and feet sticking out of the covers too. DH almost always wear bottoms and is 50/50 on a top. I need to be much cooler. I have a big fluffy body and 0 issues with it whatsoever.

 

[telephone89]

Rarely, but does happen. I also dont like the feeling of my thighs touching. Sometimes I will wear pj bottoms/sweat pants but no top. I prefer to be fully clothed, but I'm also usually cold anyways.

 

[baby monster]

Always. I buy expensive sheets and love to feel them on my skin.

 

[momhappy]

I sleep in just my undies every night - that's close enough to naked to me

It's not so much shame in my disgusting body, it's more about tactile things. I have weirdness about what might brush up against me, what my touch me without a buffer. I HATE to be tickled, like, I consider that to be violence against my person moreso than being punched would be--I will commit heinous crimes against people for tickling me, and it takes every ounce of my strength to not attack a child for doing so. So the idea of a stray hair, or a sheet/fabric, or a critter, or something else potentially lightly fluttering against me...I just can't. I need that barrier for "protection."

 

[dk168]

Always, and I love climbing into a cold bed, even when I am camping in deep winter!

[tuffyluvr]

Almost always. I hate the way that nighties get all twisted around me and I hate it when pants get twisted or bunched up. In the winter I put warm flannel sheets on the bed so I'm cozy, but no matter how cold it is, I can't wear sweats or pajamas to bed!

 

[kenny]

Never

You don't even wear your Octavia to bed?
My Octavia is the only thing I wear.

Hey!, maybe Rhino can use that as an advertising slogan.
You know what they say, "Sex Sells!"

Now I'm wondering whether all the 'Never' votes are from those who wear rounds.
... Is there a Freudian psychologist in the room?

 

[CJ2008]

Never.

I *always* think about having to get up suddenly, as in there's a fire, or I need to run outside for whatever reason.

No thanks. :/

That's what robes are for

To those of you ladies who sleep naked please post some pics!... Not you Kenny!...

Nope, I don't wear my ring nor my watch to bed.

 

[madelise]

Always. I try to be as naked as possible during the day, too. Every time I bend over, my belly fat folds over, and I force myself to learn to love what 'flaws' I have. Every mirror I pass, I see that I don't look like the perfect celebrities' bodies. And I force myself to see it. This is normal. I shouldn't NOT be naked because the media worships one appearance over another. I plan on staying naked even after having kids. There's nothing wrong with naked bodies.

 

[Maria D]

Never. The few times I've tried it I've had "naked" dreams. Like I'm in the middle of the supermarket wearing no pants or underwear. One time I dreamt that I had to use a port-a-pottie (as if that in itself isn't bad enough) that had glass walls like an old phone booth.

Aw, come on DF.
I can tell you fantasize about me dropping my towel.

Okay, my good friend.

Tell me, where do you put these goodies, what's your address, and when do you do to sleep?

[jaysonsmom]

I'm just wondering how anyone can get any sleep naked, especially if their SO sharing the same bed is also naked?

 

[stracci2000]

Kenny, you always ask such PERSONAL questions!
And we are always happy to answer!

I sleep in underwear in the summer.
Sweat shirt and PJ bottoms in the winter. I am sooooo cold all winter long. I dread the change of seasons.
Sleeping in the nude feels too "vulnerable" to me.

 

[yssie]

Hah. NO.
Cats.
'Nuff said.

b/c some of us isn't as horny as you!...

Uhm, clearly you've not been married very long.

I've been married 30+ years, and I do not get any sleep if I am naked.

 

[iLander]

But seriously, I sleep on a $9,000 mattress* (but heavily discounted) in finest silk pajamas. I wear 100% cashmere socks that are so light and fluffy, the knitter specifically states that they are not for walking in. Even then, they wear out in 6 months. I sleep on 2 pillows of the finest down, almost $200 each. I love those super fluffy blankets that Costco sells and replace them frequently so that I don't have to wash them and make them less fluffy. The sheets are the finest Egyptian sateen that I could find. The bedroom must be exactly 74 degrees and faintly lavender scented.

So, you can see there is entirely too much pomp and circumstance involved in my sleep to just plop down in my skivvies.
