  I have been in that situation a few times. I found that honesty works. When it comes close to bed time, I just say something like I hope you don't mind, but I always sleep naked. Depending on the reaction on their faces, I added, don't worry though, I'll take my underwear off under the blankets. None of the guys ever had an issue with it. The answers ranged from 'ok', to 'I always sleep naked too, glad you brought it up'.

  No. When I've been in that situation, I'll minimize the nudity, but certainly not resort to undressing under the covers or dressing for a nighttime trip to the bathroom. Typically, if the roomie is there as I tuck in, I'll sit on the bed in my pants, take them off and fold them onto the night stand, and pull up the covers. (Can't do the underwear-last thing because I don't own any...)

  I had that situation one time. I turned the lights off, stood next to my bed took everything off and got in bed. As far as night time trips to the restroom I simply got up and did my thing. If he was awake he never said anything about it. This last a week.

  II usually talk openly and say that I am naturist. The last few times that this happened, I told the other guy that, usually, when I am alone in my hoterl room, I get naked as soon as I enter the room. But it is ok to stay dressed if he prefered. I had a few guys who told me "I do the same" and we both got naked in the room without any problem and it was the same the following days as soon as we entered the room.

  I used to have to share a room with coworkers on business trips. I did a whole "I'm not a very private person, so if I'm in the shower and you need to brush your teeth you are free to come in" kind of thing and gauged the guy's level of prudishness based on his response. If he was shocked, things ended there. If he was cool with it, then I could bring up sleeping in the buff near bedtime. If not, I packed a VERY loose pair of boxers to wear in the event that he couldn't handle seeing skin.

  Its been 30 odd years since I had to share a room with someone who wasnt a family member, although I did like spending time nude back then, Id not considered myself a naturist. So there was no issue.

  If I had to share now, although I cant imagine a situation where Id need to, Id not even mention naturism to the other people/person. Acting like a textile for a day or so wouldnt be a hardship and it wouldnt become awkward.

  I have made arrangements to share not only the room but driving as well . When I first talked to them I explained that I prefered being naked and would probably be naked at the hotel
  He said I like driving naked and I was going to ask you about that!
  We had a great few days and have remained good friends ever since
  For a long time I wondered if we might develop a deeper relationship
  We have had the friends with benefits for a few years but now we have gone back to being good friends who feel a special bond. Naked the whole time and never feel awkward
  Honesty is the best policy from the start and if you really have to share and they complain I guess it's one for the textiles..

  After moving from the barracks into the 2-man room at my first Duty Station in NOLA One day I decided to walk around the room naked and sat naked on my bed. My then roommate asked: "Is this a new thing"? I was like yeah! Get used to it. Well, I'll be damned if eventually we ended up moving into an apartment out in town and before I knew it, he was walking around the apartment naked as well. I was like well, I've created a monster LoL. We never judged each other and there was never, ever nothing sexual about it. We did had guy talks about things but never more than just two guys hanging out naked. Hawk

  [quote]I had a roomie while in the Navy and our ship was in dry dock. He didn't complain but slept in whitey tighties. Onboard ship I had close to 30 roomies in the berthing compartment and though there was some complaining at first, it subsided quicker than I thought it would. On the fire department, it was well known that I was a nudist. We slept in a dorm style room, I always slept nude and I routinely got up in the middle of the night to go to the head or across the way to the kitchen for water. No complaints because most everyone on the fire department was ex military. We were deployed to fight major fires out of the county or state and when that happened, they'd put us up in motels/hotels going and coming back. We had roomies then and I usually roomed with someone that was well aware of my nudist life and didn't mind me sleeping nude, even if he didn't. I did room with a couple of friends that initially made jokes and slightly complained about my sleeping nude and saying, "don't do that on this trip." I did anyway and they really didn't care.[/quote] Were there any female firefighters at the station? If so, did they have separate sleeping quarters?

  [quote] Yes, our department had a couple dozen female firefighters by the time I retired. Several of them came to work for me on my shift. They continued to return because they enjoyed working with me. There was only a separate sleeping quarters for Captains. The others slept in a dorm room. [/quote] Then everyone else either had to wear something in bed or be very discreet?

  Didn't think about cubicles that would provide some privacy.
  One time when I went on a family scout trip when some of the scouts' mothers or sisters were there, we all slept in one big open room and were told we had to wear shorts at all times. I did as commanded, but my shorts were fairly short, and someone accused me of being in my underwear!

  I was fortunate that my random roommate for a few days said it first. We both were comfortable the entire business trip. The next year we both requested each other as a roommate for the same trip. Phoenix was not the place to have clothes on due to the temp.
  My first time this happened though, was long ago. Was working in Kansas City, for a convention. The random roommate I had also said it first. I agreed as well. We would often hang naked after work and till the next day.

  I find it surprising that at a fire station this was even a topic of conversation.
  None of us are prudes; we're nudists on the TN site. ;)
  But a fireman at the fire station is on the job. And if there are women there it seems kind of inappropriate professionally to put them in a weird situation like that.
  Now if it's all dudes, whatever.
  I mean, it's still the workplace. But if you're all guys, I guess, who cares. Not unlike the barracks in the military.

  When I used to do a lot of group travels I was in most cases traveling alone and would inquire with the travel agent if there was anyone else traveling alone that would like to share a room to avoid the single supplement and allow the agent to book another couple on the trip. Most times there was someone who did not mind sharing a room to save to money - plus you might make a new friend.
  We usually met each other at the airport as we got introduced to each other by the tour guide. Most times we were seated next to each other and could talk to get a feel for each others thoughts on the trip. When we arrived at the hotel we were checked in and found our room and i would usually strip and go take a shower after all the plane travel, room mate usually did the same. I was not quick to get dressed again, so I was nude when he came out of the bathroom/shower area, that's usually when I let him know i like to be naked when in the room, if it is/was a problem I would cover up and get dressed. Most instances it wasn't talked about - other than the other guy saying he wasn't sure how to broch the topic or that he just wore boxers or briefs in the room. Did also let them know I still awake in the morning with an erection, and I would take care of that out of sight of them. One guy got upset and asked for another room and that did cost me additional hotel charges at a couple of the places we stayed, since I now had a single room. Most of the guys were OK with something that happens naturally.

  Working over 30 years in the technology field, I attended my fair share of conferences, etc. Most times I would be paired up with another guy to share a room in the hotel where the conference would be held. It was always my habit to strip down naked as soon as I got settled in the room. Most guys were ok with it and several would join me in being naked while in the room. I did have one guy who couldn't handle simple, casual nudity and asked to be assigned another room. His loss.

  I was at a 3 day workshop at the home office of my company, which was my normal workplace.
  There were people from branch offices there, who stayed overnight in a hotel.
  They were booked 2 to a room and were not told they would be.
  Some of them complained that they would have packed more clothing to wear in the room if they had known they would be sharing.

  [quote] Some of them complained that they would have packed more clothing to wear in the room if they had known they would be sharing.[/quote] Being surprised that they had to share a room on a business trip and complained they did not pack enough clothes? That was the complaint? Do you ever read the BS you type? Rhetorical question. No need to answer. We know.

  I have shared a room with colleagues and I have stayed in hostels and in none of them have I had the problem of being naked (even in the hostel they have had to see me get on the top bunk) and it has never come out to clarify that I am a nudist, only with one colleague who was surprised to see me but it was only in his surprise.
