Shorter shorts — Discussion on True Nudists

Tom DOriginal Poster

Jul 21, 2020

Some of my gym shorts are wearing out so I ordered 2 new pair yesterday.
Since our grandson is here more and I am going less places that expect better dress, my gym shorts have seen a lot of use lately
My current supply has inseams in the 8" (20 cm) range, well above the knee but not really short.
Wanted to try something shorter so I ordered one pair with a 4" inseam and one with 5".
Will be fine at home, but don't know how it will work when I eventually get back to the gym since I never wear underwear.
One of the reviewers called them the ideal work at home uniform.
I suspect most of us would disagree and say that the ideal at home work uniform is nothing at all!

I now wear cargo shorts almost anywhere, including restaurants, theaters, concert halls and church, so I haven't experienced any problems.

[quote]3" shorts arrived today.Perfect for yard work and when I can't be naked at home but probably too short for the gym. Shortest shorts feel more annoying and confining every time I wear them. Considering either opening the side and crotch seams for more freedom or just ripping them to shreds. Anyone prefer one idea over the other?[/quote] Decided to open the sides to the waist but leave the crotch intact. Opening it would likely create problems when sitting.

Cut and ripped them while wearing them until there was nothing left but the waistband which I then removed and threw out with the other pieces.

[quote]I have decided that as my 8 to 10 inch dress shorts wear out, I will replace them with 5 inch shorts. I do have 2 pairs of zip off cargo pants that become about 9 inch shorts that I can wear places where I would not be comfortable with the shorter ones.[/quote] Why wait? Ordered 3 pair of 5" dress and cargo shorts today. When they arrive, the longer ones will go!

Two pair of the longer ones will go on the next trash day, While I will keep the pair that is in the best shape for a while, I suspect that after wearing shorter shorts most of the time, the longer ones will feel so burdensome that they will be gone soon also!

Since I bought 3 short ones, I also got rid of an old t shirt to keep my clothing count even,

Wore long pant for the first time in 13 days on Sunday since it was cooler and I had something special to do at church.
Felt strange and confining.
They were actually cargo pants that convert to shorts, so right after church I zipped off the bottoms.
That was better, but since the "short" mode has about a 9" inseam which is quite a bit longer than the 5" I had been wearing, I still felt overdressed!

Crossed one of the last 2 frontiers and wore 5 inch shorts to church today.
Then went out to lunch at a place that has a big band for dancing on Sunday afternoon.
My wife asked me if I was going to change into something with more coverage but I politely declined.
Last frontier is wearing short shorts when I am playing in a band concert.

I took two pairs of shorts on holiday recently, both intended to be perfectly modest pairs suitable for shopping, textile restaurants, etc.
The pair I wore for the last couple of days driving home (commando and unlined of course) got a bit uncomfortable while driving so I adjusted them a bit with the result that when I git out of the car at the next services my flaccid penis was poking about 2" out of the leg.
When I got home I measured them and found they were 4 1/2" inseam unlike my other modest pair which was 8" inseam.

The latter are difficult to find so I have to take whatever shorts length is availalbe.

It seems to me that I am seeing a lot more mid thigh shorts and less at the knee.
Has anyone else noticed this?
If so, do you think it is a trend or a response to the hot weather?

Or perhaps it could be a response to the hot weather which will start a trend.

The lightweight "transparent" shorts which I bought for gardening have a 5" inside leg which I thought would be perfectly adequate for total modesty.
However, this morning, while using a hedge trimmer to trim off all the dead heads from our senecio in the front garden, I noticed more than an inch or penis poking out of a leg in full view of the road.

I wore my black transparent shorts for garden work today and kept them on for the barbecue dinner. During the meal I noticed my cock poking out of the leg hole so after loading the dishwasher I posed for these pictures. THey show things just as I saw them when I looked down and exactly as my dining companion would have seen them.

I'm trying to work out if they're subtle enough. They certainly obscurifate, although the pockets make it more obvious how thin they are.

They are OK by my wife, who is a stickler for modesty in public, for working in the front garden.

I was wondering about things like a quick trip to the shops. Gardening or the walk to the beach from the carpark likely fine!

Both of my pairs of jeans are showing a lot of wear but don't have any holes in them.
I will probably want to buy new ones in the fall.
Should I:
Cut them to about 5" inseam and have 2 more pairs of shorts for general summer use?
Cut them really short and open the side seams and just wear them at home when I can't be nude?
Toss them and have 2 fewer items of clothing?

Now that I am wearing only 5" shorts, I guess when I need to replace any, it will be time to move down again.
3" gym shorts and 4" dress shorts sound good.
