Are You Blogging in the Buff

I've been with Hubpages for 4 years now and I have a confession to make that may surprise (or even shock) you.

I hub in the nude. (Both writing and reading them)

It began one stifling hot evening a couple of years ago. It was late at night and after sitting at my desk, drenched in sweat working on my newest hub, I decided to take it all off. It's just my wife and I at home and she was asleep in the bedroom. I thought. Why not?

So, I stripped down and continued with my hub. I haven't hubbed clothed since.

My wife doesn't like it at all. "We're not nudists!" she exclaimed. "It's just gross!"

How can it be gross? I'm her husband. She's seen me naked thousands and thousands of times. I don't get it.

Hubbing naked rocks! It's awesome. It's a freedom that you'll never understand unless you try it yourself. And what got me thinking about doing this hub, was that I don't believe I'm the only naked hubber out there. Hubpages.com is worldwide. There are a zillion of you out there. I estimate there is approximately 100 naked hubbers on the site. Whether they would admit it, or not, is another thing. I know they're out there. Maybe more. Both men and women.

Since this is basically a hub to promote nude hubbing, I thought I'd fill you in on both the pros and cons of the sport.

The Benefits of Hubbing Naked

Benefits of Naked Hubbing

-You can usually fan yourself with a newspaper just about anywhere without standing up.

-Letting your in laws know you hub naked reduces their visits, dramatically.

-It frees your mind, allowing you to write more creative and better hubs.

-It will force you to give up smoking.

-Wife usually brings you food and drink to your office, rather than run the risk of you strolling naked into the kitchen while her sisters are over having coffee.

-Priceless look on neighbor's face when you forget to pull down the window shade.

Disadvantages of Hubbing Naked.

-Be extra careful with that hot cup of tea.

-Butt cheeks tend to stick to cheap vinyl when you try to stand.

-Unexpected visits by Jehovah's Witnesses. (Keep a towel handy.)

Naked Hubbing Will Catch On.

I have a feeling that naked hubbing is going to be the next big thing online. I propose to start the very first Naked Hub Club.

What's the Naked Hub Club?

Just for fun, you have to promise to blog naked at least once per month with a one year commitment.

How do I join?

Easy. Simply comment and you're in. Thanks for reading!

I would consider joining the 'naked hub club' but for the fact I have 3 cats, who are inclined to launch themselves on to my lap without warning. Having seen the pain and damage caused when one of them did exactly this to my naked Husband and then got a claw attached to a very tender pat of his anatomy, resulting in an audible scream and chaos rapidly ensuing, I think I will be forced to give naked hubbing a miss, although I can certainly see the potential benefits ;)

Excellent hub as always.

oh no! I've forgotten what it's like to have cats around the house. I actually felt his pain as I read your comment.

All guys share that pain together :P

Ok, you're excused from Naked Hubbing. Ouch!

Thanks for stopping by, Cindy.

This is a very stupid, pointless hub but wonderful in a liberating sort of a way too. My surname starts with Buff (really) but i can't imagine why i never thought of Buffing myself. Um, that sounds a bit odd, but not to you of course. Must de-frock.

LOL... this Hub is super funny!!! I laughed all the way through just imagining all the different scenarios, thank you! I can't make the full naked hubber commitment because I would probably be distracted by myself... but, does partially naked in the summer time count?? Excellent Hub! ;0)

I thought everyone hubbed in the nude. I'm a little shocked to find out this is not true.

There are, of course, certain drawbacks, but your guide for newbie nudies should help them over the major obstacles.

I was drawn in by Austin Power's man-hair, and stayed for the sage advice.

Awesome stuff!

LOVE IT....... I wonder how many others are going to comment confessing that they too are BUFF BUNNIES...

@Genesis- Thanks so much for the compliment. I think you're gonna have to get 100% nakie for this group, Genesis. Even though you'd be distracted by your good looks, the real test is to write a hub while in your birthday suit.

C'mon! Step up to the plate. You can do it, I know you can!

@sueroy333 Thank you for stopping by. I know. I thought everyone hubbed naked too. Imagine my surprise when I got nasty comments I had to delete from those who prefer to stay dressed while they create.

I'm glad you're with us! Yeaahhhhhh, Baaaaaby!

Mrs. J. B. I LOVE THE NAME BUFF BUNNIES! You're just too funny!

I hope you join us. It's nice there in Southern Ca., for a transplanted Bay Stater, such as yourself.

I'm down the street in RI and I'm blogging nude in 28 degree weather!

I'm in dude. Just a little scared of the sticky vinyl. I'll stand up slowly so I'm not walking around with a chair stuck to my ass. And as far as the Jehovah Witnesses go, I'll just keep the towel off. That should take care of it. Could we just keep my membership in this club our little secret?

Thank you for the comment, Stan. Absolutely it's our little secret. You remember the first two rules of Fight Club, don't you?

1.) You DO NOT talk about FIGHT CLUB

2.) You DO NOT talk about FIGHT CLUB

Same rules for naked hubbing.....

I know it doesn't have the same literary kick as your

"10 reasons why to never get a taxable money job begging!", but can't you find another hub writer to troll?
