Is it okay to be nude inside your house? (If it could effect others?)

A lonely old man was inside his home, watching TV. He was naked. A little girl (8 years old) crossed the frontyard with her mother. The little girl was very innocent with this stuff. The mother was furious a man didn't have clothes on, as it was ruining a child's innocence. The old man was inside his own house, his argument was it was free will, it was his house. The man did not show himself off to make the girl look in his direction, and the girl did not sticky beak into the house- she was just bypassing. Both are angry at the other, and both claim the other is in the wrong. Who is at the wrong? (If you had to pick one)

Lol, who doesn't hang out naked in their house at some point?!

though the man may want to invest in curtains and blinds, he isn't in the wrong. The girl looked inside at her own accord, and it's just a naked body. She has one too, though a little different than his.

Free will. If the man didn't have the right to be naked in his own home, then when could he be naked?

Side: yes

If I wanna be naked in my home then I'll be naked in my own home. The human body is nothing to be ashamed of, and is perfectly natural. Anybody that thinks otherwise is a clinical moron.

It's his home! He may do as he pleases in his own home. The man did not intentionally make the girl look at him. If they need to reach a compromise, then the man could just buy some curtains...problem solved.

I like being nude in my house....if guests comes, I tell them to go away. ;)

Side: yes

Of course that should be ok. Who hasn't walked around nude in their home at one time or another. Granted most people have the decency to close the curtains before hand. But just because he didn't do that doesn't change the fact that he should have the right to be nude in his house. Also another thing. Why are people so scared of the human body? So the girl saw some dudes member. Its not like she wouldn't eventually see one in the future. He didn't rape her or try and get her attention in any way. He was just watching TV. I highly doubt her seeing some random dudes junk when she was a child is going to harm her in anyway.

Side: yes

Honestly, I would have blinds up to be a considerate neighbor... Can't have all my friend getting jealous now can I? But yes, it is okay.

It is his house; he can do as he pleases inside his home. He should, however, be considerate and close his blinds so that he does not surprise or upset anyone around him.

I would like to make the less obvious point of: so what? To see a person naked neither breaks your leg nor picks your pocket. I think one of the interesting things about our culture is that there is this tendency to always associate nakedness with sexuality, which in many cases are unrelated. At some point all children will eventually see someone naked, and they are no better nor worse off for it. It is quite silly I think.

And as others have pointed out, some curtains would help.

It is your house you should be able to do what you want. If someone is peeking in your windows and is offended, that is their problem.
