Please don’t laugh, this is embarrassing enough. I thought of posting this in the MORAL forum, but I want traditional responses.

Is it morally wrong for a single person who lives alone to sleep naked? Explanations backing your opinion are desired. Thanks.
 
:hmmm: I can’t pretend to be a moral authority on sleepwear, but I can’t imagine there is even a moral side to this at all. You are single, you live alone, there is no reason to say you would be immoral to sleep naked. It’s not like you are in a position to be a cause of temptation to someone else in the house.

Has someone told you otherwise? :confused:

My only caution is this: I had a friend who was more comfortable sleeping naked until there was a fire in her apartment building and she had to exit her bedroom window, down a firetruck ladder, with only a sheet wrapped around her. :eek:

She now sleeps fully clothed and ready for such emergencies, a little extreme, but I can’t say I blame her. 👍

I know for me that this would be a near occasion of sin. But I’m sure it depends on the person. LOL :o
 
What would be the point of sleeping naked? I can see no point in it at all. And no, I don’t think it appropriate. It is immodest as well as undignified. Out of respect for God, one should be properly clothed at all times.
 
Nakedness isn’t a sin. But it is forbidden in situations where it would likely lead to sin. Most public nudity in western culture would fall under this category. As for private nudity such as sleeping in the nude, it would depend upon whether or not this is a source of temptation to you.

I had heard this also; well, it was actually to consider our Guardian Angels, but still. It’s sometimes just so tempting, at least when fresh out of a hot shower, powdered and sprayed soft and scented…to get under fresh, crisp sheets.

LOL… are you kidding?

Is it morally wrong to take a shower?
 
I think that just reading a thread about a woman sleeping naked is a near occasion of sin :o

(unsubscribing from this thread)

Oh my gosh! Your poor friend, how aweful.

Nobody “told” me, but the issue’s been raised a couple of times, so I thought I’d ask and get some opinions for or against.

I think this would have to fall under the freedom of personal preference and/or conscience. Some people are raised with a hyper sensitive view of the naked body as being evil or close to it, or have faced hard temptations in this area. And to them it would be against their conscience, even if that conscience may not seem to us to be the most well informed. And the scriptures tell us to follow our consciences, which is why some things may seem to be sin to some and not to others (St. Paul used the example of eating meat that had been offered to idols).

We know that the naked body is good, God created it and called it good. We have some personal freedom, and then we have moral responsibility toward not being a temptation to others. You have to judge your own situation and live by what your informed conscience is saying to you.

So you shower or bathe with your clothes on??

I believe the Church teaches that a husband and wife should feel no shame in each other’s nakedness.

Now that’s not related to the OP, but the point is that there are times when being naked is a necessity and is appropriate. Should God be embarrased by our nakedness? I think not. After all, He created us that way. Modesty in our dress, IMO, has to do with not how we relate to others.

Sleeping naked is no more immodest than taking a shower, provided you are doing it for reasons that are not immoral. If it helps you to sleep better, go for it. If you are doing it for some kind of perverse pleasure, I’d say no.
 
I would not do it, for practical reasons already outlined.

But I would not do it for moral reasons either, because I have always read that one should behave decently even when alone. It’s immodest. Hence one can be indecent to one’s-self…and Guardian Angels, and God!

And yes, it can be a near occasion of sin.

How could it be considered immodest when modesty requires dressing to suit the situation or activity participated in? Clothes that covewr decently on the streets, swim suits at the beach, shirt and shorts or sweats at the gym. I mean what does common sense dictate?

Yes, and we have pyjamas / nighties / nighshirts.

Umm, how? Outside of the discussion of it, for those like Neil_Anthony for whom the thought is enough, this is not a near occasion. If it were, whose sin?
 
Now I have heard it all. No, it is not ‘immoral’ to sleep naked; unless your willpower is so naught that it might be an occasion for you to sin.
