Please read notes 1 - 4 before requesting a stay and let me know in your request that you're ok with nudity.

1) I live the lifestyle of a naturist (nudist) - naked. I welcome fellow naturists and those that are curious. I encourage those of curious mind to give life without clothes a try.... even for a day or two. However, if all you're looking for is a place to sleep with no intention of trying clothes free living, please look for another couch. (Please see comment "D" below for further info on my expectations.

2) If seeing an older gentleman in the nude is offensive or not desirable to you, I ask that you look for another host that is more suitable.

3) I live just north of Jane St. and Sheppard Ave. (Not downtown partyville) It's an easy transit ride from my place to downtown but it will take you about an hour. (Look under the tab "My Home" for more about my location).

4) I will want photo ID from you. No different than staying at a hotel. Today, so many people do not use their real name on the internet and I'm ok with that. But when you get here, I want to know who is in my home.

Below is optional reading if you want to know more about clothes free living.

Why "No Clothes":
A) To me, it's the most comfortable way to live. No elastics, nothing hanging on by a belt, and the way we were born… healthy and unrestricted.

B) Simplicity; clothes either equal warmth (accepted here) and fashion. Fashion throughout the ages has meant status. Most often we use clothing to shield our bodies when we are ashamed, to denote social, economic, political, or professional status. At my place, we are equals! Let's converse over our life experiences without encumbrance of how we want to be perceived and only judged by what we say and how we act.

C) Nudist (naturist) lifestyle = To many people naturism is only an occasional recreational activity representing simply an alternative to wearing clothing. Gone are the days of the 60's where puritanical right wing naturists did everything from being vegetarian, having cold showers and banning alcohol. I prefer to live more with the 2000's and have an open mind towards things in life. However, in saying this, my place may not be right for everyone and so there are over 5300 CS hosts in Toronto (last time I checked) and only a very few of those offer a naturist friendly, totally liberal and free from clothing environment.
Naturism/Nudism is a philosophy of life. It's a way of thinking, acting, and looking at the rest of the world. we are fostering respect for self, for others, and for the environment. Complete nudity is fundamental to those values.

D) So if you have "just an interest" in my lifestyle or you are arriving because of unique situation, you are still welcome to surf a night or two and ask what you wish. If you intend to stay more than 2 nights, then there is an expectation that you will join me in my lifestyle. No different than your expectation of me to wear clothing if I were to come to your place. In saying this, like swimming with a bathing suit has no practicality nor does sleeping in underwear, so I have a strong expectation that minimally you'll give our lifestyle a try by sleeping nude. There are many benefits to sleeping nude and as a naturist, we don't see a necessity of wearing clothing to bed except for warmth… and sorry folks, those boxers and panties don't add a lot of warmth.

I'm always intrigued by those that say in their profile that they are "open minded". I think that's a very relative term based on what one knows at the present time. Given new facts, or new conditions in life, they may not be as open minded as they say. I prefer to think of myself as open to new ideas and thoughts and, what interests you, not necessarily open minded. If I try something once and I enjoy it, great. If I do not enjoy it, then I should be able to say "no thanks" the next time without offending anyone. My only provision is that whatever "open minded" is to you, it has to be safe for everyone! (That's the bottom line!)

There are interviews with me at a club I help run in the Toronto area where we skinny-dip and bowl naked:

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I’ve been part of CouchSurfing for a number since 2020 and I have the ability to host those that are comfortable without clothing.
There are 1000’s of couches out there, but to find a host and home that is naturist/naked friendly can be a bit of a challenge.
I really enjoy meeting other people and listening to their stories of life experiences.
