For males(some females too perhaps), it's considered decent as long as your penis is covered and stays covered. For the poll question, do you agree?
wrong! it is never right for a female to cover her penis! and don't think that can't happen!Quote: onenickelmiracleFor males(some females too perhaps), it's considered decent as long as your penis is covered and stays covered
as for the poll, I voted yes and no both. Meaning it's ok but 'not really'
For a woman, it's a question of embarrassment. For a man there's a slight fear of being labled a perv, perhaps officially.
Quote: onenickelmiracleIs it socially acceptable to be outside on your own property wearing boxer shorts without pants or shorts covering them?
You need to get out more. This is normal to many people walking around in public!!
Amusingly, it is not illegal to walk anywhere in the UK stark naked unless you are 'causing a breach of the peace' or 'outraging public decency'
Test cases have shown that simply hiking through the countryside, visiting pubs and shops wearing no more than sandalss and a rucksack is not in itself an offence. Walking naked past a school with a stiffy would cross the line :o)
There are some Brit naturists that do the whole naked hiking thing as protesting their human rights though they get a lot of grief, they are pretty much accepted as eccentrics.

...the legal position is often less clear cut. In England, for example, the law does not actually prohibit simple public nudity, but does forbid indecent exposure[1]. In practice, this means that successful prosecution hangs on whether there is a demonstrable intention to shock others, rather than simply a desire to be nude in a public place. Specifically, using nudity to "harass, alarm or distress" others is an offence against the Public Order Act of 1986. Occasional attempts to prove this point by walking naked around the country therefore often result in periods of arrest, followed by release without charge, and inconsistencies in the approach between different police jurisdictions. Differences in the law between England and Scotland appear to make the position harder for naked ramblers once they reach Scotland.
I would think the general rule is that if you have any doubt then some of your neighbors may have doubts and cameras and a willingness to make a complaint about it which gets you into computers and once in, you never get out.
So I'd be careful about anything even if its strictly legal.
Lol. Depends if they are perky or saggy. But seriously, anyone that complains about that needs to get a life.Quote: FleaStiffSome people in Maine drive past a woman riding her lawnmower topless and go to the police station but are promptly informed that it is perfectly legal.
I have to disagree a little. One should not fear the state 'getting you into the computer' for doing something legal. That's letting the state bully you with paranoia. If my neighbours have cameras outside their homes pointing at my drive and they find it amusing to watch and share videos of me doing what I want to, then bo11ox to them. If they had cameras surveiling my back garden, I'd take action against them.Quote:I would think the general rule is that if you have any doubt then some of your neighbors may have doubts and cameras and a willingness to make a complaint about it which gets you into computers and once in, you never get out.

I understand that Americans do not generally share our European attitudes towards personal expression, toplessness and nakedness.
I wonder how you guys think about breast feeding. Here, very few would give a damn if some mom popped her breast out to feed a baby in any public place. Mom might or might not try to be discrete but would be respected regardless.
I prefer my Thai masseuse to keep her penis hidden. What I don't know can't hurt me. $:o)Quote: odiousgambitwrong! it is never right for a female to cover her penis!

Are you sure ?

Sometimes you can have too much information.

lol.... well played.

Given the posts before that, I'm going to assume you meant that literally (as a joke). My mind went there, anyway....again, well played. :)

Ehh... as long as there's boobs, I can keep my eyes above the waist...!
It gets very hot and very humid here and if I need to work in my yard, I would prefer to "soak with sweat" as few clothes as possible.
Here's a question: would you go outside wearing "briefs" - men's underwear that is the alternative to boxer shorts?
I forgot about saggy pants. I might not like them, but I don't say anything. Have to say it's not as bad when they're wearing boxer shorts as briefs. It's totally different with just briefs, the world sees more dimensions of the body. Neither case I would say is illegal unless they don't really fit and people can see what shouldn't be seen, in a graphic way beyond a silouhette.Quote: IbeatyouracesYou need to get out more.

I don't wear them anymore, but if I did, very quickly or if it were dark out. I'd probably just grab a blanket to cover up if just sitting out during the day.Quote: gordonm888In the heat of a summer day, I often go out into my yard wearing only soccer shorts -or basketball shorts or gym shorts. Whether I have anything on underneath is nobody's business. Its essentially the same thing as wearing boxer shorts but a little classier in my opinion. Like wearing bathing trunks.

You're really a woman? I just figured you're a catfish without even thinking of it. Your profile pic is you? I have trouble believing it.Quote: HeyMrDJAs a woman, doesnt bother me. It's no different being at the beach. I often wear just a bikini in the back garden, sometimes with no top. Never had any complaints :-)
it's possible, they can even get maternity leave. Think a kidney stone has to take an evolutionary leap, unsure.Quote: odiousgambitwrong! it is never right for a female to cover her penis! and don't think that can't happen!

There's nothing better on a hot summer night than to go from shower directly to porch. Thanks for the support; knew I wasn't the only one.

ditto, but I have no neighbors
I let him in to use the phone but the super said it was after hours and wouldn't come to open the door. He ended up calling a locksmith and waiting in my living room for an hour or so.
Always expect the unexpected and plan accordingly.
Simply put, it is a bar or a section of a bar where the occupants are dressed only in their skivvies: men in briefs and T's, women in bra and panties.

Where do you keep your money, keys and drugs?
I gave him a bath towel to cover himself up and escorted him back to his room to make sure he could get back in. His room had quite a few good-looking young ladies and guys in it, all of them drinking and most in some state of undress. In retrospect, I just wish that it had been one of those good-looking ladies that had knocked on my door, naked and needing to be rescued. Or, just for one evening, that I had been born gay.
Quote: gordonm888Here's a question: would you go outside wearing "briefs" - men's underwear that is the alternative to boxer shorts?
Oddly enough. No. I'd rather be seen naked than in y-fronts or men's briefs.
I think it's because I'd rather the neighbours know the colour of my pubes, which they could have guessed, than and colour and style of my knickers which is a bit personal.
Its sort of like letting the casino know you are card counting. Might not be fatal but it is rarely helpful.Quote: OnceDearLol. Depends if they are perky or saggy. But seriously, anyone that complains about that needs to get a life.

I know one man who thought he was wearing a different type of shorts than he actually had on when he went jogging, but apparently one female passerby liked what she saw, she later married him.
When on holiday in Spain, it's indeed great to go from shower to balcony to dry off natures way. Probably visible from the hotel opposite, or from the odd other balcony but who cares.Quote: FaceThere's nothing better on a hot summer night than to go from shower directly to porch.
