How hard would it be to see your naughty bits through a window?

[PersonAndStuff]

Sitcoms lied to us. They told us if we moved to the big city, one day we'd look out at a neighboring apartment and see a whole lot of nudity through that window. But the truth is most people work hard to avoid being partially or fully unclothed in front of a window. People are shy and don't really want to expose people to sights they may not want to see. But compromises must be made to the security of your genitalia to ensure a comfortable, free-flowing environment. Sure, maybe someone could see in your underwear watching TV but they'd have to get real close to the window and peek around a corner. And no one is going to work that hard for you. Or hey, I'm just going to walk past this window naked. The chances of someone watching my window closely enough and at the right angle are pretty slim.

I used to be super worried back when I had a window that basically looked out over my whole studio apartment. And my cat could open the vertical blinds a bit. But I've relaxed a bit over the years. I have a patio that has some shielding from prying eyes but you can kinda see through it. So some weirdo could sneak behind my neighbors and peak over during a rare instance where I'm differently clothed and didn't close the blinds. But, weirdos, this ain't worth it.

Somebody is aiming for the best thread of the month award lol

 

[Officer Big Mac]

You seem to know a lot about covert peeping.

 

[Adventureracing]

Our bedroom is on the second story of our house which is surrounded by trees. Pretty sure the only thing that can see in is the possums that frequent our balcony.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I'm on the first floor of an apartment complex with a trail behind me. I guess if someone wanted to walk up and look through the window when I was naked (and I don't waltz around naked so...) they could if that was their thing.
I never close the blinds because one of our cats would completely fuck them up.

 

[Khanimus]

There's a heritage building next to our apartment (which is about a dozen floors up), so someone would need to definitely need equipment to see into our bedroom. From another window, someone might be able to see us shirtless if we were walking around naked in the living room, but the lighting isn't so great in our apartment that it'd be will defined. Not in that spot of the apartment, anyway.

 

[louiedog]

I've definitely had my curtains closed more during covid because I feel more exposed being at home so much. Previously I'd see my neighbor across the street and one building down standing naked in his kitchen every two months or so. It's far enough away that I can't really see the guy very well so I've probably passed him on the street without recognizing him.

I lived in another apartment with a bathroom facing the alley. Sometimes I'd be brushing my teeth at night and glance down to the unit across the way and see those neighbors walking around fully nude and looking like they were getting ready for sex/bed.

Weekend Era already?

 

[AMAGON]

I like being watched

 

[PaulloDEC]

Not difficult, but also not worth the effort.

 

[tormented]

My childhood bedroom obnoxiously had two massive windows that were extremely easy to gaze into from the street. The worst part was that one of them was in the direct line of sight of my next-door neighbor's porch. When I was maybe 10 or 11 they commented to me that they often saw me farting around in there, and it was probably supposed to be a funny quip since they were geezers, but I had my curtains essentially stapled shut from then on (which my dad fucking hated, but whatever man).

 

[CupOfDoom]

I guess if someone was really determined they could catch a glimpse. The only real way to see into my apartment is if you go on the roof of a nearby building so I don't stress it too much.

 

[Bakercat]

Either I keep the blinds down and the cat tears them up wanting to sit in the window, or I keep them slightly raised and take chances that I forget curtains are pulled back while walking out of the shower.

 

[mentok15]

Given my size I'd say pretty easy.

More seriously I live in a suburban house with a front yard with trees. Unless I'm standing right against the window with the blind open you're not going to see anything.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

I'm not gonna lie, I like to sorta let my fellow hang loose sometimes when I'm sat at the pc and I've got a big wiiiiiide window that normally doesn't have the blinds closed. My pc is in my bedroom so I'm not super exposed but if my neighbour looked out their window they could see my fellow out and about.

 

[Teriyaki Blues]

Our master bathroom has enormous, oddly shaped windows and an equally enormous mirror (of course in the perfect alignment with the shower), I imagine it would be impossibly easy for anyone with a pair of cheap binoculars... as long as they were looking out of the upstairs windows of the house behind ours. Good thing I'm not terribly body shy, I guess?

 

[Rygar 8Bit]

I live like a vampire and have blackout curtains on my windows. No one will see anything.

 

[Deraldin]

I have my windows blacked out so I can sleep during the day. 0% chance of anyone being able to see anything in my room.

 

[Deleted member 12833]

I'm sure most of my neighbors have seen me naked

 

[Deleted member 2317]

 

[Van Bur3n]

Oh I make them work for it.

 

[Musubi]

Blinds are mostly closed but also I don't really care.

 

[B'z-chan]

If you're looking that's on you. I used to care but I just don't care anymore.

 

[ColdSun]

If people want to take a gander, so be it. No shame.

 

[TheMadTitan]

I'm short and my windows aren't that tall.

 

[IconGrist]

My upstairs neighbor in my last apartment used to just hang out on his balcony naked. Sometimes when I'd come home from work he'd be standing there looking around leaning on the banister and wave to me and say hi. It was jarring at first but then it was pretty normal to see him like that and no one else in our complex seemed to care.

I personally don't roam about naked to any real degree of consistency but there has been a time or two where someone caught me through a patio door where the blinds weren't entirely as shut as I thought. I only felt bad because obviously it wasn't my intention for anyone to see me naked, especially without warning, but I have no qualms about being naked in general.

 

[Khamsinvera]

I didn't ask them to look into my place.

They f***ed around and found out.

No refunds.

 

[earthsucks]

i'm always hanging around in my underwear, picking my nose etc. i don't care who sees what.

 

[Temp_User]

I always keep my blinds down but against an enterprising peeper its probably not much of a cover.

 

[SOBOSLDR]

Not hard at all I live next to a busy park footpath, and there are people walking by almost all the time, we don't have blinds on the kitchen window and I frequently walk around naked.

My only window nudity story was when I went to Osaka. I went to Tsutenkaku tower and used the telescope on top, I was swinging it around looking at stuff and found a window with a woman putting her clothes on.

 

[John Rabbit]

I didn't ask them to look into my place.

Click to shrink...

This is where I'm at too.

 

[Imperfected]

It should be easier but my windows just aren't big enough.

Also I'm on the top floor of an apartment building, so I guess non-residents kind of have to want it pretty bad.

 

[Fliesen]

1. Unless someone looks down from a higher floor, they can't see below your waist line. Try it out - put your head on "dick height" and look out the window.

2. Don't forget that, when you look out from your window, what's through the window occupies much of your FoV, when you look inside a window from tens of meters away, it's only a very small angle, you actually see a very small amount of what's happening inside.

3. If it's brighter outside than it is inside, the glare will make it harder to see what's inside. If, however, it's dark outside and you have the lights on, people will be able to see what's going on inside, and the brightly lit window in an otherwise dark setting will additionally attract people's stares.

 

[Deleted member 37917]

I have no curtain and I live in front of a beach in Spain. While I don't deliberately walk naked close to my window, I'm pretty sure that a few people had the privilege to witness my dangling dong. I have the last 2 floors of my building though, so one needs to specifically look up.

 

[texhnolyze]

My apartment is "L" shaped and my unit is on the lower part of the L, 2nd floor. So yeah, it's possible if the folks on the higher floors (especially 3rd and 4th) peek on me but I have set up some curtains.

 

[Finaika]

Holy shit this just happened to me I swear.

 

[Shiz Padoo]

Depends on the size of the window and naughty bits.

 

[Menome]

I have encountered the "Woman undressed in front of a window" trope three times in my life, in which I did a polite British raised eyebrows "oops" and carried on with what I was doing. To my knowledge, I've never entertained any passers-by.

 

[MrCibb]

I live in Scotland and it's Winter, so right now I consider lounge wear to be only 3 layers of jumpers rather than 6. So there's no chance of anyone seeing my bits through the window. But in the Summer though they could easily catch a glimpse of a bollock or two, we're on the ground floor. I couldn't care though, if you don't want to see my dick then don't look in my fucking window. That's a you problem.

 

[Ethereal Ardor]

The sun rises facing my living room window and I like to tan there fully nude a few days a week. It is what it is.

 

[Quantum Leap]

You need to be really close to see mine

 

[I am a Bird]

Look my wife broke the blinds and my work schedule was busy. Just don't look in my window between 4 and 5, that's willie's time.

 

[Acidote]

I have a big ass 2m wide 1.5m tall window in my bedroom. But the lower .5m part of the window is acid etched so my junk is blurred to outside viewers. Bathroom window is the same but fully acid etched. I did it like that so my shower glass wouldn't be.

 

[Thorn]

I work nights Mothafuckerz, I got block out blinds.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I'm pretty much a nudist, and I don't really make any efforts to hide it.

 

[Fevaweva]

Really easy. I have a massive penis.

Sorry, let me rephrase "an average ERA sized penis"

 

[Ashdroid]

I live in an apartment complex, but all my windows look out into a field, so I'm good. Until a neighbor walks by.

 

[shaneo632]

I'm always baffled when I walk past houses and the blinds/curtains aren't closed. Like, how can people not be aware I'm able to look in and see everything?

Unless that's their kink or something.

 

[TaySan]

Pretty hard since i live on the second floor. :P
