i have been seeing a therapist and i have told her that i have been going to nudist resorts because i like to be nude. i've been spending a lot of money when i shouldn't be. it's not that i like to look ok at people just to be naked that's all. Is it appropriate to ask my therapist if i can be naked for our session. it would lower my temptation to go spend money

[Shazerac]

My vote is no

[LadyShadow]

I vote no too, I think it would probably make him/her uncomfortable. Just my two cents.

I think you can talk about it with your t. Maybe you should try to find a t who belongs to your nudist club? Ie, just generally make that group a larger part of your life, if thats where you feel more comfortable. If your current t does not partake, then their office is probably not a place to practice that lifestyle.

Probably that's a no.

um, are you being serious. I have a hard time taking this literally. No way is my answer.

I don't understand. What does spending money got to do with being nude??

[taylor43]

No Way you will lose your therapist very quickly. There is a nude therapist in new york if you feel like paying $500 per hour. Up to you. I would never ask my therapist for a nude session. You need help Sex support or rehab.

most if not all USA states have a state law that all public buildings require the person to be clothed and shoes of some kind.

that doesnt mean you have to be extremely uncomfortable. I know some people who enjoy the nudist lifestyle wear a bathing suit and robe and slippers to their appointments....

that said this time of year you might want to rethink going as clothes less as possible. the USA is in a bad freezing weather across the USA. being out with just bathing suit or naked right now can lead to a persons freezing to death. not to mention what if the power goes out in your therapists office and theres no way to heat the place. and you are sitting there in a bathing suit that barely covers the important parts. by the time the session is over it could be freezing in your therapy session.

not to mention your treatment provider. what if a male client went to their therapy session with a speedo bathing suit that barely covers and the therapist is an undisclosed in the closet gay person. or vice versa if you are female and have a female treatment provider who is a lesbian or straight.. dont you think wearing little to no clothing could make your therapist unable to concentrate on the problems at hand.

its one thing to go naked at a nudist camp where its understandable that everyone is naked and no one gets sexually aroused by it. but its other to be in the general public where other people may find your body to be interesting to say the least.

my opinion I wouldnt want to put my treatment provider through having me sit there naked or half clothed in therapy sessions. I too enjoy being naked but I know that the place for me to do so is at home when I am alone or with my wife, not for my children and definitely not for my therapist. my therapist would probably have me arrested on my locations indecent exposure law.

I can understand that the nudist lifestyle is not always about sex. However, if your therapist is not a member of the nudist community they may be very uncomfortable with you being naked during therapy sessions.

I do not think it is an appropriate request.

If this is a serious post, I don't think naturism (nudism) has anything to do with wanting to be naked in front of one's therapist. This has nothing to do with naturism. It is a compulsion.

I believe your therapist would say no. IMO it would be an ethical violation on their part to see you naked. It's a cultural thing-at least in my culture it is not appropriate for me to be with naked adults while at work. In fact, I would probably get in trouble if I went to nudist camps and got "outed".

But it would make for interesting conversation with your t if you talked about wanting to be naked there. Who knows what you would discover?

No just no , but discuss this issue with your therapist.

Whats the deal with the money ... I'm a bit lost

I think it would be okay to ask,therapy is supposed to be a safe space to be able to say/ask anything you want.

The answer most likely would be no though,but it would be an interesting topic to discuss with your therapist I think.

I'm going out on a limb here....

Please don't feed the naked trolls..

[Misssy2]

I felt most of my face go into shock..sorry..but NO.

[Crazy Hitch]

no therapist would/should see a patient naked. Unless he/she is a gynaecologist too.
