Girls, would you be willing to see a platonic male friend nude?

[Anonymous]

I know this is fraught with all sorts of misinterpretation, so please read on and I'll cite some examples. For all of these, assume he's a close friend you know well, and he is respectful of you at all times. Say you're swimming with a guy friend, and he wants to skinny dip, he asks your permission first, and makes it clear that you're free to do whatever you're comfortable with. Would you be okay with him being nude? Say then both of you get out of the water to grab a drink or whatever and he doesn't bother covering up... still okay? What if he got an erection and didn't say or do anything about it, but it's just out there? What about other situations? Sitting around at his place and he'd just rather be nude? Or after a night of drinking and he thinks it'd be awesome to strip down for some reason or another? Or sharing a double hotel room on a trip and he wants to sleep nude? Remember, he's not doing anything disrespectful to you, just exercising his own preference. If you say no, he'll live with it. Would any of you be open to anything like this? Would you encourage it, or find it amusing at all? Perhaps you might want to join him? Would you tease him or try to embarrass him at all? Encourage him to masturbate if aroused? Anything? Just describe what you think it'd be like. And lastly, do you think that it could be a bonding experience that strengthened your friendship?

"Do you think that it could be a bonding experience that strengthened your [so-called] platonic friendship?" Ha! I don't know about some people but this would be getting a little too sexual for me. Especially with the whole erection thing? Yeah. I mean, I might want to if I was attracted to him, but then this wouldn't really be a platonic friendship now would it? I guess it depends on how liberal you are about sexuality I guess. A person who doesn't see nudity as purely sexual may be totally up for it. Not that I intentionally view the naked body as sexual-sometimes I do things with no clothes on simply because it feels comfortable- but I do have a hard time not doing so subconsciously. I am human after all and society does teach us to view nudity as sexual (adult nudity that is). Therefore, it would be hard for me to trust that this friend would be making this request with no ulterior motives.

[Asker]

That's interesting... I didn't really address the trust component.

[lavalamp87]

hes a creep cause he likes the girl but is playing the "friend"...

[luvu209]

Lol!

[lavalamp87]

XD

[Asker]

Lavalamp- there's no need for you to disparage me when you know none of the facts. I've been nude in a non sexual context around dozens of women ranging from strangers (life drawing model) to best friends (recreational swimming, etc). I've done these things while single and attached, with women of all relationship statuses. Friendship is important to me, I wouldn't disrespect a friend the way you're intimating.

[lavalamp87]

i don't need to know any facts, your question reveals all I need to know by what you are asking. You're asking if a girl would be comfortable with you getting naked , sleeping naked, getting erections in the water and this is the f***ing most laughable .. "Encourage him to masturbate if aroused? " LMAO every single girl who read that just shuddered

[Asker]

Because everyone who ever started by saying "I don't need to know any facts..." Has ALWAYS been correct.

[lavalamp87]

no its because the information is revealed in how and what you are saying in your statement. Trying to generalize that without facts people can't read personalities is retarded.

My extremely close guy stayed over (on the couch). I washed his clothes and when they were dry he uncovered and git dressed in front of me and our conversation didn't skip a beat. I saw his butt and penis kinda close up and wanted go oooh , nice but that's natural and I would never, ever make a comment because we totally trust each other and while he is an attractive guy we are not into each in "that way."

[Juliabellybutton]

My really close guy friend (totally platonic) stayed over and slept on the couch. I washed his clothes and sat on the couch with a blanket partially covering him. When I brought him his clothes from the dryer I saw him get dressed. I wasn 't trying to look. We just continued our conversation as he stood up and put on his shorts. No big deal. I saw it (kinda close up). Nothing happened. We 've been friends since we were 8 years old.

[CurvyPryde]

Really depends on the friend. But i am practically a nudist so i dont see much issue.

[ketfoen]

Fantasize much?

Any girls or women that agree to such a thing are clearly interested in the guy without a doubt or are the free thinking sexual women that resemble more of a nut case than a rational person.

[Asker]

So, do you think all hippie-types are nut cases? In my experience they're pretty level headed and have much better priorities than material girls. Just saying.

[ketfoen]

can't speak about hippie girls, because I've never known one, so I can't say for sure they are level headed. A material girl isn't the girl type you were insisting on in the first place either. just saying

[ketfoen]

come to think of it, you sound like a nudist.

[monkeylovesblue]

I think it would be fun! Not A LOT of guys are comfortable in their own skin but they should be, it is a beautiful creation by God.

[prithivi102]

Be comfort

[lavalamp87]

Lol.. you are so clueless and creepy

[Asker]

What makes you say that? I actually have a friend that is cool with such things, just wondering how common it is.

[lavalamp87]

your whole question? Geez. Friends do not get naked together. Do you get erections in front of yoru guy friends and wonder if they are comfortable about it? My god lmao

[Asker]

Some friends do in fact get naked together. A great many people have gone skinny dipping in a group. It's not for everyone, sure, but this is obviously directed towards those with some proclivity to it. It seems that that's not you.

[luvu209]

You make a good point. To the Question Asker: Would you want to be nude with any of your guy friends? And the whole getting an erection really threw me as well.

[lavalamp87]

Nah that is just a bullsh*t excuse because you secretly like this girl so you say "oh some friends get naked together". No, friends don't get naked together unless there is some sexual tension there. You wouldn't do this with a guy friend. You wouldn't have a boner in front of him and wonder if he was comfortable, so drop teh bullsh*t already

[Asker]

I've gone skinny dipping in co-ed groups, as well as locker rooms and the like. I'm not averse to nudity of any sort. My circle of make friends are not as open to it, but when drunk are extremely "live and let live". I don't do anything with the intent to make anyone uncomfortable. The erection thing has never happened, I just figured I'd include it to if it made a difference. It seems to matter.

[lavalamp87]

haha yah right. I bet it happened and you're embarrassed about it. Man that must have been so baddddd

[Asker]

Nope. Well, actually, yes, once, after I had gone into my tent for the night. Not that anyone's ever seen though. Even so, it wouldn't bother me, I'd just prefer not to make anyone else uncomfortable. You simply don't have the mindset for this, there's nothing shameful about nudity for me and millions of others. If you're ashamed, that's on you. I just want to be able to fit into the world.

[lavalamp87]

hey look bro, I'm being rough on you because girls will honestly find this kind of stuff quite creepy, so cut it out. Wondering if a girl would encourage you to masturbate after you got out of a pool is just wierd.

[Asker]

I know one thing, my friends seem a lot cooler than yours must be. It's a hypothetical. Just the other day I saw a question about guys masturbating where the answers unanimously said it was a turn on. I appreciate your candor, but I'm far more interested in the nuanced answers of ladies themselves, to see if any trends emerge. My experience says one thing, but it's not a representative sample. I want the larger sample, what's wrong with that?

[Asker]

Your thoughts are duly noted. Now, could you please allow others to speak for themselves. If they want to call me a creep, that's fine, if they enjoy nudity that's fine too. It's kind of the point of asking in the first place.

[Asker]

I'll even tell you a story. I have a friend who's a nurse and totally desensitized to nudity. She came to my studio apartment to pick me up for an outing once. I had just finished showering when she arrived so I let her in wearing just a towel. As I grabbed my clothes to get dressed, I said "you mind if I do this here?" She didn't mind, so I got dressed. All she said was "I saw you naked." And laughed about it. That was the extent of it. It just wasn't a big deal.

[iluvdylan]

My thoughts exactly ^^

[Hannajenky]

No big deal my roomates and i used to meditate nude it was kind of fun so no big deal

[JennieF]

Sure.

[Anonymous]

I have been nude around 2 female friends and 1 has seen me get hard... no big deal

[Anonymous]

Girls don't really find guys attractive so no they wouldn't want to

[Asker]

No intent to attract, so that is irrelevant. Unless you're saying kindly that guys are repulsive, which would make sense.
