I have been sleeping nude for over 2 years. Mum, Dad and my brother have all seen me and that's ok bc they are family. My 3 cousins are coming to stay and the 2 girls will be sharing my room. Mum says I can't sleep nude bc they might get embarrassed. What would you do? Would you be embarrassed if you shared a room with someone who slept nude?

They are going to see me in various stages of undress when I am changing anyway so what's the big deal if I sleep nude?
BTW my girl cousins are 14 and 13. My other cousin is 17. I am 16 and my brother is 14.

i'd say your best bet would be to ask them and see what they say . . . .if they say that they do mind then atleast wear boxers or something to cover up. if they dont then go ahead, offer them to join you but please keep it down, else it could be very very disturbing and embarrasing for you and them . . . . .theres nothin wrong with sleepin nude with your cousins as long as you keep an appropriate distance . . . . . .i'm sixteen and have been in your dilemma once but i carried on doing it all the same. . . . . . at the end of the day the option is yours

I sleep nude and love it. I wouldn't be embarrassed to sleep or be nude in front of most people, but if your Mom feels that your cousins would become embarrassed I'd respect her wishes. Your Mom may be concerned that the girls will get the wrong idea or be shocked, tell their Mom who would tell your Mom...then all of a sudden something as simple as sleeping nude becomes a big deal.
Nobody needs that. If they weren't sharing your room it would be a different story.
You might consider asking them if they've ever slept nude and if they have, the problem's over.
Good luck!

Well, as much as I would argue for nudist rights within your own home, I have to say that respecting your parents wishes is primary. That being said, perhaps you can work out a compromise?
Why not ask your mother if it would be OK to discuss with your cousins before you do anything? If they agree that it's OK, then perhaps she will let you sleep nude. They may not have a problem with it; then again, they may be more comfortable if you remain dressed. Either way, at least you would know their preferences. It would also open the door for some honest discussion about naturism.
Good luck!

Yes your mum is RIGHT!!.. You should show some respect to your cousins.. After all you are the host and you would want to make them as comfortable as possible..
Or alternatively, you can discuss with your girl cousins.. and make sure you locked the door when you do sleep nude with them..
take care..

When you have guests, whether they are relatives or not, you should try anticipate circumstances that would make them uncomfortable and try to avoid them. Be a good host; don't make them feel awkward in any way. Any inconvenience or change in routine that comes from having guests is just something that you deal with until they leave. It's just part of growing up and becoming gracious, my dear!

Well if they are your cousins than i would put some PJs on.. some of them might be uncomfortable with someone being nude in the room.

Sure they make take that the wrong way and be uncomfortable, but if yo are not in the same roomit should no be a problem. I would just keep something near by in case of an emergency and see how it goes.

I don't think I would just get naked with them while getting ready for bed. It would be best if you check with them. They may sleep nude. Girls talk. Bring up the subject and see the reaction. Who knows all 3 may end up naked and loving it!

I think out of respect to your company you shouldn't sleep in the nude. I know its more comfortable but it will probably make your cousins uncomfortable.

If you are older than them and are more developed than them and they look up to you then I would say to just sleep nude. They may think it is cool and join you.
