View Full Version : Naked Office
I wasn't sure where to put this, but mods feel free to move if you so wish. There is a show starting on Virgin 1 called naked office (http://www.virgin1.co.uk/shows/naked-office/about.php). How would you feel if as part of a work you were asked to go in to work naked for a 'Naked Friday'?
I know for sure I wouldn't be doing it. I'm no prude and it's not about being ashamed of my body or thinking there is something wrong with being naked. I just am very private about my nakedness and save that treat for my partner ;) The point is supposed to be about breaking down barriers, removing envy and improving working relationships. Personally it wouldn't help me do any of those things. I know they probably can't make you go in on days like that (well I would assume). I dunno it just baffles me if they think it's going to help, though I suppose depending on the workplace and the people there maybe some people would be happy doing it.
All very odd to me..... anyway would you do it?
Oh and I won't be watching the show ;)

We remember seeing this advertised, thanks for the reminder Mubs :)
I wouldn't do it, but that's just because I know I'd end up getting an erection =/

Cobblers! It's about creating a controversial TV program.
I'm getting flashbacks to Keith Chegwin's 'Naked Jungle'. Anyone remember that? Good grief.
I'd do it without any bother. Wouldn't be allowed to though ;D

I can only begin to imagine the envy that the other chaps in the office would experience once they'd got a glimpse of Paul JR at his 2" glory :evil:
The day I can ice skate in hell with avian swines and galloping unicorns around me would have to happen before I'd ever entertain the idea.

*rings hell to enquire about rink opening times*
You'd be disappointed. It's hypocritical with my avatar, but for some reason I look "ok" in the pic, but at the moment I really feel meh.
I'd be more embarrassed about that than about the family jewels on show - at least it might detract from the rest of me though.
Don't be silly *hugs* You're gorgeous. You can't have changed much since I last saw you!
Probably not, but the only chance you have of seeing me close to nekkid is Cyprus :p
*sets timer counting down* ;)
I would definitely be up for some of the birds in work doing this.
Actually good point - there are no attractive women at my work that I have the remotest desire to see in the nuddy.
Just watch for dangly bits around the paper shredder!!
Certainly couldn't complain about sexual harassment around that work place. Certainly not the ones of, "He certainly wasn't looking in my eyes. They're up here." Meh, you stick a pair of naked boobies in my face, I'm going to look. Don't want me looking? Don't parade them for me to ogle.
Does working from home count?! I kind of have to be naked at some points at home!! ;D
If working in an office and it was suggested I would politely tell them to **** off and if they went ahead I wouldn't be able to go in that day... in fact... I'd probably would quit. :p But then I have issues with this kind of thing! :)

I think I would probably be arrested if I went to school naked! :shocked:

Well my work is all male except for one or two women who come in maybe once a month, so no, I won't be going for this :p
Unless your work colleague have part time jobs as underwear models, i don't see why anyone want to, and if you are so lucky to have everyone at work looking like models, how would you get any work done ?

Same here! There are some female staff I wouldn't say no to seeing naked, but not at the price of having to see all the male staff nekkid as well!

This seems appropriate!
/edit - Yes, I did, thanks Kitten!
can't see it :(
Edit: I think you need a "7-" at the beginning there Feekles.

Every day is naked work day from home, but I think its kinda frowned upon on commercial shoots.
There's quite often naked people at work. Not the sort of people you want to see naked either :puke:
And after seeing what a cell door did to the end of our last Inspectors finger (i.e. took it clean off), there's no way Little Faysh is coming out at work.
I think the phrase is "snowballs chance in hell" :p I hate being naked alone let alone in a public setting :p

Just started watching my first episode now. I like to think I'm quite open to most things but this would just never ever happen. Ever.

I'd do it, and there are a couple of Clunges in my office I would love to eyeball. :D
We watched this the other day and seriously... wtf?!
How on earth did getting naked help things?! I'm sure they could have achieved their goal of getting their butts in gear, sorting out the business and their relationships *without* the whole naked thing!
Why!? Okay, it might make them have a laugh and what not and broken a few barriers (but also - scuse the pun - erected a few barriers at the same time), but so does a pint in the pub!
It's completely radical and the only reason I can see they did it was to get the publicity on national tv. I say this... and yeh they may have achieved that but I'll be damned if I can remember what company it was! No idea! So it kind of failed on me then!
*baffled*
How very daft!
If it proved to work though (as it seemed to), does it matter that it was this rather than some other method?
My dad berates me for taking echinacea when I get a sore throat ("It's hokum!"). I find if I catch it quick enough it prevents a full-blown cold. Medically it's unproven to do anything for me, but in my experience it works. Not a perfect analogy but you get the idea!
The thing is maybe it worked there, but would it work in most places? I know if I was forced to do it (which I know they couldn't but just for the case of example) I would either pull a sicky, or if it was to be a long term thing I would leave my job.
But I'm not convinced it was the naked thing that actually made things work though. They obviously didn't air everything which happened during the week and something tells me the whole week of this awesome resolving business dudey involved much more than just the whole getting naked thing. I'm sure the other things he did with them/the discussions he had and the interaction they had, as well as heightened awareness they needed to get their butt into gear and now was the time to air any problems... I think this was what got them going. I don't understand how a day of nakedness will help a business move forward! The getting naked was just a shock and distraction... which I'm sure could have been replaced with something else I'm sure! Even bungee jumping or abseiling or maybe even a day of rafting or something daft! There's extreme and there's extreme.
I think he said at the beginning he's sorted out many work places with different techniques but had never done the naked thing before... so to me it was all a big publicity stunt! For the company and the dudey of resolving goodness :)
I guess I don't like things like this though so I would be all uppity over it ;D
