Free Advice Fridays: Nice-Nekked or Butt-Ugly?

_582764_naked
Dear Ken & Ariel: I’m a chick and I live with two other chicks, both of whom have no problem with walking around the place naked. Honestly, I don't need to see anyone's boobs or vayjay but my own, and I don't know how to tell these two to knock it off. They really helped me out of a jam by letting me move in, so I feel awkward saying anything... but I really, really need to say something. Any ideas?

Ariel Says: I'm not sure what your options are, my dear Prudence. They let you move into their nudist colony, as you said to "help you out of a jam" so you kind of have to play by the house rules. Of course, you have a right to express your discomfort/distaste at looking at a pair of hooters as you try to enjoy your Special K and OJ at the breakfast table, something along the lines of "It makes me uncomfortable when you guys walk around naked." But there's no guarantee they'll change their ways. You may just have to suck it up and get used to it - who knows, you may start to find clothing to be an inconvenience, too.

Ken Says: I find your friends’ lack of respect for your feelings utterly disturbing. My suggestion is to make the boldest statement of all by moving out. Of course, you’ll need someone to help you out with any messy “lease-breaking” complications. That’s where I come in. Tell your roomies I’ll have my stuff over by 5:00pm.
