In a scenario that sounds straight out of a reality‑TV bizarre‑roommate saga, a 27‑year‑old woman from Reddit’s “Am I the A**hole” thread found herself at odds with her 23‑year‑old brother after he moved in rent‑free — and promptly made himself comfortable by stripping down sofa‑style. He declared himself a nudist, arguing that clothes indoors were unnecessary, while she insisted her apartment, her furniture, and her sanity required boundaries. Reddit exploded in support of her stance: yes to nudist lifestyle, no to full frontal on the loveseat. This story, originally reported by Indy100, highlights a classic clash of personal freedom versus shared‑space consent.

A woman threatened to kick her brother out of her apartment because he is a nudist. She consulted Reddit to see if she was in the wrong.

Taking to the notorious ‘Am I the A**hole’ subreddit, the anonymous 27-year-old woman explained that her 23-year-old brother had just lost his job and could no longer afford his rent… so she allowed him to stay at her place rent-free until he found new employment.

She added that they both had a good relationship and that it wouldn’t have been a financial burden on her, as she could afford to support both of them and that he had also agreed to help with chores and cooking.

However, things went awry when she returned home from work one day to find him watching television on the sofa completely naked.

She writes: “Yesterday, when I came home from my job I had the surprise to see my brother naked on my couch, watching the tv. I froze a bit out of shock then asked him what the hell he was doing sitting on my couch naked. He tried to explain himself but I just told him to put on clothes first and we would talk later.”

After he got dressed he told her that he was a nudist and that he “preferred to not wear clothes because it was healthier and more natural.” Although she explained to him that she didn’t have a problem with him being a nudist – she just didn’t want to see him naked in her own home.

She added: “I explained to him that he is my brother and I don’t feel comfortable seeing his private parts at all and that even if he didn’t see nudity as sexual, I did.”

However, he protested and said that he “wouldn’t put clothes on when he was home and that it was tiring enough to have to be dressed in public.” She said in response that if he wanted to be naked at home, then he would have to get his own place.

She left her post explaining that her brother is now ignoring her but that she feels “guilty because he would probably be homeless if I kicked him out… but at the same time, I don’t want to see him naked.”

The overwhelming consensus in the replies to her post believed that she had done nothing wrong as it was “your home, your rules.”

Another said: “I actually don’t think even nudists are cool with the idea of forcing others to accept your nudity – in their homes.”

A third person added: “There’s nothing wrong with being a nudist – but you can’t force someone else to deal with your naked a** on their furniture. He stays clothed with a roof, or he moved out and rubs his a** all over his own belongings – those are his choices.”

A fourth said: “He can be naked in his bedroom but shared space means he needs clothes. If he gets really pissy, he can at the very least get a proper loincloth. Or move out.”
