Answering the door nude?
Return to DiscussionsTechnically ... yes, I've answered the door twice while I was naked but I didn't stand their fully exposed in either incident. Once was to JW's that came to the door (2 women) and the second was a young man and woman (18-20) selling a vacuum cleaner. Both times I was naked at the computer in the office and I was seen by them so I didn't ignore the knocks on the door.
The JW's came to the dooor in the late morning and the young man and woman came to the door in the evening, after dinner. I got up from the desk and answered went to the door for the JW's and told them, with the door closed, that I wasn't dressed. They continued to state that they'd like to talk to me about their pamphlets and I opened the door. I did so because I wanted them to stop coming by and was hoping that slight exposure would get the word out to stay away from our house because of the naked man. I stayed mostly covered by the door but it was obvious I was naked. The older of the two women immediately looked down. The younger woman talked for a couple of minutes and actually did a good job of keeping her eyes on mine. As I began to say goodbye and close the door, then she gave me an up and down once over. :D
The younger couple arrived around 7 pm. I was deep into a response to a topic or answering a message and didn't even notice they walked up to the door. When the door bell rang, I looked up and they were standing at the front door and the young man could see into the office window. The light from the computer screen illuminated me to a point and again, I just got a wild hair and got up from my chair and headed to the front door. I told them both from the front door, "I'm not dressed," but they pressed on with their sales pitch. I answered the door in the same fashion and unlike the older JW women, the younger people had a little bit harder time keeping their eyes trained on mine! :DDD
After their first couple of minutes talking I said, "you can come in and demonstrate the vacuum but we're nudists and we'll be naked while you're in our home." They looked at each other and the female said, "not sure our boss would want us to do that but we'd be okay with it!" We talked a bit more but they didn't come into the house. I did notice that while talking to these two that I'd exposed a little more of my nudity than I did with the JW women, although they weren't expose entirely to my pubic area and genitals.
Since then, I've begun closing the blinds slightly on the windows in the office, at night. I will get up and look through the blinds to see who it is and most times will not even answer the door. If I do go to the door, I tell them that I am not dressed and all of them usually just walk away without saying anything or say, "maybe another time!" The JW's ... haven't had any come to the door since that incident so it's been a good thing. Our cleaning lady is a JW and leaves us pamphlets from time to time. It's usually after they've been here and I've forgotten to take some of the naked pictures of my wife and I, down from the shelves, bulletin boards or nightstands. ;D
IMHO: just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
you look out the blinds or peephole and see uninvited strangers or service people who are there just trying to do their job.
so you pop open the door to your full monty pose and a big grin. that strikes me as disrespectful, discourteous and blatant exhibitionism.
yeah, it's your home - it's still rude.
in the big picture, I suspect they go away with a negative impression to be transferred to all nudists and nudist culture.
there lives a nudist trying to push their perspective down everybody else's throat. that is not acceptable even at a nudist club.

I agree to a point but I do not agree with what many, like you, lump each and every nude encounter, with nudism. In both cases, I NEVER said, "I'm a nudist." I didn't show them a membership card. I don't have signs on the door, although I'd like to, that state "this is a nudist home and you will encounter nudity. " Both times I simply said, "I'm not dressed." When they persisted, is when I decided, they must not care.
I agree with the whole full exposure thing. It's not right and it's done for shock value but in my case, and only in my case, I was trying to get the JW's to stay away and obviously, it worked. In the case of the young adults, they were persistent in wanting to talk and sell me something so I figured I'd do what I did and they'd leave ... they didn't.
So ... I think it's unwise for a nudist to assume that any and ALL nudity, anywhere, is automatically linked to nudism, and frankly ... it's just not true and those that think that way are misinformed and sadly mistaken. Two cases involving nude drivers; one male truck driver and one female driving a sedan. Both were involved in solo occupant, solo vehicle accidents. Both of them were naked. NO mention in the news feed that they were nudists. It did, however, state that they were both legally intoxicated. Within seconds of the posting of the news story, nudists ... nudists, began stating that these two incidents gave nudism as bad name. Fact is ... it gave driving drunk a continued bad name and had nothing to do with nudism.
Are there nudists that do things for shock value ... I suspect so but unless you are a known nudist to those that come to your door, whether you say it or announce it or have it posted on your door, these solicitors don't know whether you're a nudist or not and if they assume so, then they are only assuming such ... and they shouldn't do that.
we certainly can agree, that in your JW case, you accomplished your purpose.
as stated, in my opinion, it is not right/ok/respective to try and force one's own view onto someone else.
it is ok to agree to disagree without being disagreeable.
If a man answered the door naked, I would think of him as a pervert and not a nudist. I like that Andy would announce his nudity and not fully expose himself.
In Lees case being in his back yard and people coming around the house to where he is is different in that there was no ringing or knocking. He could have been hosting a nude party back there.

... and this has also happened to me three times; twice by the pool guy and once by the lawn maintenance guy. The pool guy caught me coming around the corner of the house. He wasn't suppose to be here taking care of the pool that day. I went inside and came out with shorts on. I explained that we are nudists and this is the way we live. If he was embarrassed or uncomfortable with that, he needed to adhere strictly to the schedule and any deviation would necessitate a text or phone call from him. He showed up again on the wrong day and that time I remained naked and told him, he could pack up and not come back. Both times, he acted like a 12 year old girl. He was a pathetic excuse for a grown man.
The lawn maintenance guy, Mexican guy, apologized and always makes lots of noise when he's here and beginning work. He sticks to the schedule and if he doesn't, he calls us to ask if he can come on a different day. I did get caught by the young guy that now cleans our pool. I didn't realize he was here. It was early in the morning ... 7:30 am! Because of what had happened prior, I keep an old pair of shorts in my work shed. I walked back, slipped on the shorts and came back around the corner of the house and he waved and said, "sorry, I should have let you know that you'll be my first stop of the day and that stop starts at 7:30. Is that okay?"
Simple communication between the nudist homeowner and the vendors they contract with goes a long way. Our pest control company always calls two days before to tell us that our pest control guy is coming. The pest control guy always comes to the door and rings the door bell, knocks on the door then starts work. If we answer the door, no worries. If we're in the backyard, we've been warned and it's our fault but we've never been caught by him,
:D
I do not ever expect that I will answer my front door nude to a stranger because I have no wish to risk offending them. Or even a nudist friend because neighbors would see. I have a couple of acquaintances that expect me to be nude when I answer the back door, but I would not answer nude to a random knock. I had one experience when a neighbor unexpectedly entered my private back yard. That is quite different, and it worked out fine.
