If you’re exploring naturism/nudism as a lifestyle, you’re probably wondering how you can get some personal nude time without your roommates or family knowing about it. While you certainly have nothing to be ashamed of, it’s reasonable to want to explore this path on your own. In this article, we’ll show you how to practice nudism in your bedroom without anyone being the wiser. We’ll even cover how you might spend that time to make the most of it!
Things You Should Know
- If you can’t lock your door, at least put a heavy object behind the door so people can’t burst into your room.
- Keep a spare set of clothes nearby and get a good excuse ready in case somebody calls on you or knocks on your door.
- Enjoy a nap, get some work done, or simply relax in your room. Don’t pressure yourself to do something unique just because you’re nude.

QuestionWhat happens if I am around other nudists and I get an erection?wikiHow Staff EditorThis answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Staff AnswerwikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerThe whole point of naturism is that you shouldn't be ashamed of your body. If you get an erection around other nudists, they're likely to have no reaction at all. After all, erections are totally natural. -
QuestionI stay at a farm with 2 small Welsh ponies when owners away weekends and want to ride a pony bareback naked. Do I tell owners of my secret nudist desire or ride in secret without telling them?wikiHow Staff EditorThis answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Staff AnswerwikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerIt's probably best to not do either of these things. If you don't tell them, it's still possible that they spot you on a security cam. On top of that, it's a little disrespectful to do something with a person's animals without consent. If you have a super intimate relationship with the owners you can ask, but if you don't know them that well and you aren't close friends you could alienate them. -
QuestionDo I have to be naked to appreciate my body? I love myself just the way I am!wikiHow Staff EditorThis answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Staff AnswerwikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerAbsolutely not. If you're most comfortable in clothing you shouldn't change anything. Everybody is different when it comes to what makes them feel most comfortable in their own skin!
