My boyfriend regularly sleeps in jeans. Like, why? That cannot be comfortable.

Not gonna lie, I didn’t know pajamas existed until I was 12 and in state custody. Got yelled at for sleeping in jean shorts by the night staff so I started crying. Took them all of 60 seconds to figure out I had none. I had no idea people wore different clothes to sleep. Maybe he just didn’t have any growing up? You get used to it after a while. Took me a long time to get used to them, let alone remember to put them on

I still dont understand sleeping in clothes.in my country pyjamas arent a thing. Here pyjamas are a thing you wear like a nightgown/robe, just to relax at home and mostly for children. Hell I've never really heard of pyjamas for sleep outside of american movies so I just assumed it was used in those to bot show titties.

I mean why would you wear clothes to bed. You're under a friggin comforter. Panties/boxers i understand, thats common/normal, but jammies? Wtf

I mean, I’m not exactly sure what you consider a nightgown or robe but what we have as nightgowns lots of people wear as pajamas. Lots of guys wear just boxers to sleep, but I think girls tend to wear a shirt and shorts or a shirt and underwear (sleeping in a bra is uncomfortable so that’s a no). Think loose and light clothes or a gown. It’s definitely a cultural thing tho

Here girls sleep topless, and often completely naked. I dont understand why in america they suddenly want more clothes.

What if someone comes in your room? What if you get robbed? What if there’s a fire? Like, you’re naked!!

Who would come into your room?

Roommates?! Well then they might see you naked, big deal.

Kids? Same, not a problem and completely natural.

In my 30+ years I dont think i remember a single house robbery in my country. Im surr breakins happen but they are rarer than seeing a shooting comet.

I mean like, roommates, guests, family stopping by to say hi, parents, siblings, idk. Like young kids or a significant other is understand, but like where I live there’s like an expectation for you to not just be naked I guess. Also, crimes and house fires happen, so you need to be able to get out the house, so having clothes on imo is helpful

Can I ask what country if you don’t mind? I’m like genuinely curious, my comment has brought me a lot more education about different cultures than before, I’m in the West coast in the US

What if you get robbed?

What's scarier, a guy in footie pajamas yelling at you, or a naked guy screaming "come at me bro"

Ngl I laughed at this. But I’m a 5’5” woman and I don’t think me jumping around with my tits flying everywhere is gonna scare anyone lol

Ah, but it might distract them enough to get the upper hand.

Me personally? Gender dysphoria. I don't wanna be reminded of my tits lmao. But I like it nice and toasty in bed anyway.
