Hello, Im 28 and I was talking to a member of the opposite sex online one day, and I asked them what they were wearing at that time. They replied with the type of clothing they were wearing. They then unexpectedly turned the question around on me and said that since they had answered my question, I had to answer the same one for them. After some persuasion, I timidly admited that I was actually naked at that time. They did not take offence at knowing this. It felt risque at first, but afterwards, I felt kinda releaved to have been able to tell a member of the opposite sex that I was nude. Was it wrong to tell someone of the opposite sex about my nudity when chatting with them? Anyone else have any oppinions or suggestions?

As an adult, you can choose to tell anyone anything you want online. It's important to remember that many younger people pretend to be older, so you could be telling these things inappropriately to a much younger person - which is an offense.
I wonder why you felt 'relieved' to be able to tell someone you were nude. This suggests that you have some issues in that area - but please rest assured that you were born nude. It's a natural state.
Telling someone you are nude will probably lead to a more 'physical' conversation. If you are seeking out an emotional connection, it might be best to skip the nudity thing.

dqlovesu answered Friday May 20 2005, 9:46 am: its not wrong to tell the opposite sex whether you are nude or not.. it is better if you tell the truth anyways.. and most people wont take offense to that because almost everyone is nude while they are online at one point in time.. i wouldnt worry about it too much..

craazylau answered Friday May 20 2005, 9:38 am: It would only be wrong if that person was made to feel uncomfortable by what you said and it doens't sound like that was the case. Therefore don't worry about it although you probably shouldn't freely go around telling everyone you talk to online that you're naked! The way you did it was fine especially as you were persuaded into telling this girl the truth. Don't worry about this particular incident just be aware that not everyone may act in the same way!
