Is High Rise Nudity Normal?
I actually searched the forum first and didn't find this topic, so...
I come from a small town, but I have "heard" many, many times that people who live in high-rise condos don't usually have curtains on their windows or don't use them. I had always thought "Yeah, right! Like people would be naked in their own homes naked without curtains when there is are people in a building across the street who can see them."
Well, I was in New York this past week, and before I went, my co-worker said "have fun looking in windows!" I rolled my eyes at him.
Well, apparently, there is something to this. Or did I just get lucky?
During my two nights in a hotel, I saw quite a bit in people's windows! Seriously! After I got ready for bed the first night, I turned off my hotel room lights and sat in front of my window, looking into windows right across the street. After 20 minutes, I got bored of it, but I had my eye on a lady who was watching TV in her living room. Just before I gave up, I saw her get up and go into what I assume was her bathroom. Then she started pacing around her condo while brushing her teeth. I then saw her take pajamas out of a drawer. I thought for sure she was going to change in the bathroom, or close curtains, but after all of a sudden she was taking her clothes off and putting her pjs on. I couldn't believe it. She was right across the street, so it was like she was right in front of me, naked, but acting totally normal!
Then, about 5 minutes later while my heart was still going crazy, I saw a light come on and a couple came in from their hallway--I could actually see all this perfectly. The husband/boyfriend/whatever sat down and started watching TV, and the female went into her room, turned on the lights, and got naked and changed into a t shirt and shorts without closing curtains, then she went to watch TV, too. Again, it was just acting normally, but in front of open windows like 15 stories up!
That was all I saw the first night.
So, the second night, I decided that *I* would undress and walk around in my hotel room naked for a few minutes, acting as though I didn't realize people could see. I didn't see anyone looking at me, but it was quite fun.
Anyway, about the same time, I started looking for the first lady I saw undress the first night. No luck. I knew it was too good to be true. I walked away and started doing other stuff, naked, and turned my room lights back on, making sure to be in front of the window, but actually normally like the other people had.
While I was sitting on the bed, I thought I saw a light turn on, but I couldn't tell because of the glare, so I turned off my hotel room lights and went to the window. It was the lady from the first night again! She was in a blue dress in her room. I thought for sure she would change again, and she did, but it was better! She took her dress off, and this time brushed her teeth topless in black panties, pacing through all the rooms of her condo like the night before, but topless this time. She put pjs on and went to bed. My heart was hurting it was beating so fast, so assuming she was still sort of awake, I turned the hotel room lights back on, hoping she could see me, but without me looking out the window.
That was all I saw that night.
So, anyway, was I just lucky, or is this stuff normal? I did some searching online, but I couldn't find anyone talking about it other than people who have sex in front of hotel room windows on purpose. But I am not asking about that--I am asking about normal people in their high-rise living being naked in normal circumstances with their lights on and no curtains or not using curtains. Is THAT normal? Maybe I am nuts, but to me that is way more of a turn on than people who are having sex in front of windows on purpose, for example.
Do people just not care? Are they that oblivious? When I saw these women changing, they certainly acted as though no one could see them at all.
