Robe. I’m not allowed out of our bedroom in only underwear, on account of the kids. I’d walk around naked if it weren’t for the kids. Sigh.
I think that most guys are a lot more relaxed about looks than girls are. Many girls seem to feel like they should not be seen without their “faces” on, and I’ll bet they have this attitude that their guys should likewise not be seen without the proper amount of dolling up. Of course, there are more relaxed folks who don’t place such a premium on looks. To each their own, I guess.
My wife never minded if I was naked until we had kids of a certain age. I can see her point, but I long for the times when people thought nothing about their bodies was shameful. Her excuse is that she is always cold. This does not explain why she always wears pajamas even in the hottest part of summer, so pardon me if I think that something else is going on here.
I think that there are people who are very into looks and don’t think they or anyone else should ever be seen without looking their best. Then there are others who are more relaxed, and who I think can see through looks to the person inside. Looks don’t matter so much to these folks. Of course, issues about nudity and near nudity play into this, and a whole slew of messages brought to us courtesy of our Puritan roots and our own native instincts towards censorship—to protect the children, of course.
As I said before, sigh.
