Do you worry about neighbours?

  In the netherlands the law states that you can be naked if it's not visible from public accesable area's (like the road). So, if you want to be naked in your (shielded) back yard, go ahead. If neighbors see you, that's not a problem.
  I myself live at the 4th floor of a small apartment building (or 5th floor, if you count the ground floor as number 1). When I want to ba naked on the balcony, I will do so. I blocked off the balcony railing, so up to waist level it isn't visible from the street below. It is visible from the neighbor's balcony, bus I just informed them I like to sunbathe naked when I moved in.

  No I don't worry about the neighbor's, when we bought our house we knew from the beginning that it was private in the back except for one neighbor who we talked too prior to buying. The impression we got was she wasn't the type to get excited and call the cops on us if she saw us swimming nude in our pool, and wouldn't you know the first weekend in our new house she saw us moving in and heard the sterio playing in the back yard and came over to formally welcome us to the neighborhood. When she came thru our gate in our private yard I was laying nude facing her and my wife was nude on a raft, since she invaded our space I found no need to run for cover so I went our introduced myself and my wife got off her raft and walked past her towel straight up to the neighbor to say hello. In the past 5 years we are always nude in our backyard during the summer and my neighbor comes over from time to time and never once has she complained or even said a negative comment, and she has even complimented us and has asked my wife how she keeps so smooth without bumps

  Not really. We have a privacy fence around most of our yard. The back part is heavy in vegetation.

  We had a couple of our neighbors over Saturday night to sit out around the firepit have have some drinks. Clothed or course. My dear wife, after having a few, decided to announce that I was a nudist and went to resorts and such. I don't think anyone was particularly shocked and but it did open up a rather lengthy discussion on the subject. Mostly curiosity. The same old tiresome "No they are not sex clubs" and No we not swingers" etc. The young couple next door has 2 kids they let play in the yard naked. They are toddlers and they have a hard time keeping clothes on them. That lead in to a conversation about just leave them alone and how kids are taught shame. Apparently they are in to home nudity.

  The other couple did not seem to add to the conversation much so I was a bit concerned that they might have been weirded out by it, He texted me yesterday and said they had a wonderful time and would be interested in doing it again soon. He even talked about joining us on a cruise we have planned for next May.

  Who knows.. after a few more firepit sessions.. We may actually get to do a nude one.

  Yes and no. I have a 6 foot wooden fence and very tall bushes in the backyard. I am cognizant of what areas and angles are safer from the view of second story windows but I have spent more time out back nude when the weather is nice. It is my private property so I figure I am entitled to do what I want back there as long as I am at least trying to stay out of direct view.

  We also have a privacy fence on three sides and bushes on two. Our house is on the other. The house on the remaining side has one window and a deck from which you can see part of the yard. Luckily the prior and current neighbors are single males and didn't mind if I was nude, My wife is very rarely nude in the yard.

  On one side we have retired neighbours whose kitchen window overlooks our place, so that's out unless they're on holiday. The other side have a back sunroom with a garden seat and zip-up clear plastic 'windows' that looks over a little, but I've never seen them there unless they're entertaining, so that is generally okay. However, one of their security cameras overlooks our vege patch, so I keep the swim briefs on for that. Perhaps I could find out if they ever check it by going nude and seeing if that earns a response. :-) We did have some trees on the fence line but we had to pull them out as they were growing too fast and the replacements are taking their time.

  Over the back fence, we're in the clear while the front yard is fully open to the street. So I guess half the garden is okay. Good for sunning and work in selected areas, but have to be conscious of the virtual boundaries in daylight.

  I live in a large community and only have women on either side...The one I see few times a year when she is leaving her home..She is never outside or even in yard...Now my other neighbor is the one I had to work with....I posted the story a few weeks ago here...Was just last week invited a gal over to sun with me...We were out for a few minutes, I heard some noise, looked around nothing...Then I heard my name she was on her deck looking down towards us with are backs turned.....So I got up and talked to her for a good 5 minutes wearing nothing..I think she is starting to enjoy it ?...There is a fence between her place and mine, and maybe the couple next door down can see me? Who cares we are all adults and none have children...
  Now if I can get her to give it a try? She is such an introvert! But did admit once she went to a nude beach many years ago....Im going to keep trying to get her in the sun, and still bring friends over so soak in the sun!

  Moved out here recently and immediately got the sense it would be frowned upon by the neighbors behind and both sides. I stay nude inside for now but looking for opportunities for hiking in the nearby canyon or down along the river.

  When I lived in Chicago one side was an empty house and the other was an older couple who kept to themselves. Behind was a swale and then a forest preserve. Went for nude walks in the woods very early in the mornings quite often and several times the neighbor was out there walking his dog and pretty sure he saw me. Never said anything about it until I was nude in my backyard one time and he called over the wood fence and asked me about some work he needed help with and then asked if I had time right now. I said I needed to go inside and change then would come over. He replied, that's OK you can come as you are. I did. His wife was out and he needed help rehanging closet doors. He was not surprised at how I was and offered me a beer and we sat around his kitchen for a while having the obvious discussion.
