Our balcony faces a hill, and being on the 3rd floor, no one can see in unless they are up in the hill. I have seen kids messing around up there and some landscapers clearing dried up bushes, but other than that no one can see in. I wouldn't really care anyway. I am not ashamed of being nude and I'm not concerned about anyone seeing me.

Totally agree Karen. I adopt the same attitude. Recently I was decorating my study whilst nude and whilst painting around the window I remained nude. We are not directly overlooked but what I do in my own home is for me to decide. I believe I was well within English Law anyway.

Digital Cowboy, interesting you shared the story about the woman whose privacy was invaded.
I read a similar story in the paper with what I consider a just outcome.
A woman wrote in to one of the two nation-wide syndicated advice columnists with
a situation she wasn’t sure how to handle. This woman and her husband had
recently purchased a home in the Los Angeles area. It had a nice sized yard
that was surrounded by a 13 ft. privacy fence. They specifically selected this
house as she frequently tanned and gardened nude. One day she noticed a
teenaged boy in a tree in the vicinity of their house peering in on
her in while she was gardening. Her dilemma was what to do about the situation.
The advice columnist suggested she try and find out who this kid was and contact
his parents and inform them of his conduct. Not bad advice. Several days later
there was a letter from an Orange County Deputy Sheriff about the woman’s
situation. He politely informed the columnist that her advice was off track. There was no
need for the lady to play amateur detective to deal with this kid. He advised
that if the lady saw this kid spying on her she should immediately call the
police. Why? Because he was invading her privacy which is against the law
in the State of California. The law states that as long as a person(s) makes
every reasonable attempt to ensure their privacy, invading that privacy is
unlawful. The 13 ft. fence constituted a reasonable attempt. Makes sense to me.
I agree with you completely about ‘rights’ that seem to be a one way
street. We’re discreet nudists and I absolutely reject the notion that I have
to shutter myself in the house because other people can’t mind their own
business. No one will see anything in or around our home unless they’re making
an effort to do so. And if that’s the case, it’s not my problem.

I hope that things worked out for the woman. I’d have to think that depending on how often the young man was “peeking” over the fence, that she might also be able to get him for stalking.

Well said, very well said indeed. WHY can’t people just Mind Their Own Fracking Business? And IF they see/hear something that they don’t like approve of just look away. Unless the “offending” person is clearly breaking the law? If more people did that then there wouldn’t be as many problems not only here in the USofA, but around the world as well. And us nudists would be able to walk out in our own yards day or not without worrying about being arrested.

There's been a lot of great comments on this topic.
My neighborhood has small yards and close houses, leaving the blinds up is not an option in the front of the house. My solution was to tilt the blinds down towards the inside of house so that I can get sun but not be seen from the street. From the sidewalk it looks like the blinds are almost closed.

I doing a major rehab on my house. I removed part of a wall and added a 1/2 bath downstairs. The problem is it looks like the new layout will move my TV and internet much closer to the front of the house. I'm VERY close to the street and the windows basically go from my knees up. I'm thinking of trying sheer drapes. They will give the illusion I'm not putting on a show but, still let in some light. Not I that stand in front of the windows. It is just that I will be walking past them much more often then before. My neighbors have all seen me do yard work in a g-string. So, I"m not too worried about them. There is some foot traffic during the day but, not much. The miniblinds maybe an option, too. I had pull shades on the front windows before.

No worries here except for our bedroom window which you have to walk right by to approach the front door. We are getting some sheer curtains that will allow light in but prevent anyone from seeing inside in daylight. The other windows can not be easily be seen from the road one of the advantages of living in the woods. The front dor has a large cut glass window in it that is possible to see though I know the neighbors must have figured out we are nudists by the way we scurry about putting cloteson whenwe hear a knock on the door. LOL must be funny watching from the other side!

We absolutely love letting the sun into our house. I put up mini blinds which are open during the day and closed at night. I then added heavy lace sheer curtains on top of them. Between the 2 they not only break up the pattern of anything seen through them from a distance but also reflect back just enough of the incoming light so as to act like one way glass. As long as it's brighter outside than inside no one can see in. I've stood outside my house and peered in my own windows to see how well we can be seen. Other than at night there are no worries.

My house is set back about 35 feet from a 4 lane road. I have white sheer curtains covering the picture window. During the day they act like one way glass blocking all views into the house. At night if I use a bright lamp placed next to the curtains, they "glow" enough to block almost all view into the room.

in florida, i have a very large picture window in the front of the house that i used to walk by naked all of the time. i know a few times the mail woman got an eyeful.
here in montreal, i don't really have any worries other than in my kitchen, some people may be able to see in the sliding glass door, or the windows, but they would be a couple of houses down on the next street over.

I guess it's up to the person if the blinds should be closed. But you also don't want to upset the neighbors. So all I can say is do feel is right. I have one neighbor who has seen me naked lots of times.
And i have seen her. but the other neighbors have not see me. Of coarse they don't skinnydip. I do know that in Michigan if you outside naked and someone complains to the police they can give you a ticket.

I have small diameter bamboo blinds at most windows that are kept down, I can see out and you can see in but you got to close up on the window, if your that close and looking in your a peeping tom.

My front windows are about 15 meters from the closest footpath and 30 meters from the house in front. On these windows we have louvre shutters which I tend to leave partly closed. This I find makes it difficult to look in and see anything clearly. My wife has the habbit of opening the louvres completely, go fight it. At the back of the house there are no shutters or curtains, but then there is nothing there anyway!

I always used to be a little paranoid someone might see in so I got venetian blinds. You can see much through them open in the day and at night i keep then shut when i turn on lights. But it no longer bothers me as it's my house and i can be naked if i want too.

"I always used to be a little paranoid someone might see in so I got venetian blinds."
How do you make a venetian blind?..... Poke him in the eyeballs.
Anyway I am fortunate to live on an acreage. However it is on a hill so it is very difficult to wander around outside naked but while inside there is no problem. We have big picturesque windows over looking our valley with no window coverings at all. We have some blinds on one side of the house because we have some kids living in one of our out buildings.

Is open blinds or curtain an issue while nude?
