People seeing you sleep naked

This is the problem:

I am male and 19 years old and I have a room in a friends house. I get on great with the family.

There is no lock on my bedroom door, and people in the house don't knock before entering. The mother of the house often comes into my room to wake me up or get stuff out of my room that she needs. The problem is, I often find my self naked when I wake up due to the heat. I am not aware of taking boxers off in the night, but it happens. And as lots of teenage males, I often wake up with erections.

So people are in my room and seeing me like this. I am not comfortable with it but what can I do? Moving out is on the agenda, but til then?

Just tell them how hot it is..that you cant sleep with clothes on..therefore please knock before entering my room..

Just keep wearing the boxers, even if you take them off or not. Try getting in the habit of pulling a corner of the covers over your abdomen. And most importantly, talk to the mother and ask her if she will please knock first, because you don't want her to see you that way.

I know how you feel. I have the big problem of people walking in when I sleep nearly naked too, and no matter how much I tell them not to, they still do it AND leave the bedroom door open! And because it happens so early in the morning I am still asleep and can't do anything about it. Grr.

I think I would feel even more uncomfortable with having that conversation. Having them know that I know that they see me like that would be even more embarrasing for me....

And I can't help taking the boxers off, I never do it knowingly....

And the erections are even more embarrasing.....

Tell them in a "by the way" sort of fashion, as if you are just warning them in case. You've got to tell them, since there's nothing else you could do about the situation. Just say it in private.

I would have thought if they had walked in on you and seen you like that once they wouldn't be in a rush to do it again. You have to talk to them about it or they'll keep coming in.

The mother probably likes what she sees, that's why she keeps doing it.

the mother clearly wants you to give it to her if she repeatedly comes in when you are naked avec boner

i say... go for it!

Keep a window open, it would then be slightly cooler and you will be more likely to keep your boxers on.

And more mosquitos will bite you!

Get a fan.

Get mosquito netting and leave a window open.
Works great.
Fan's are no good, if the ventilation is poor.

ever thought that maybe u sleep under the covers so when she comes in she sees nothing, then u throw the covers off when you're asleep then wake up? i don't think a mum would wanna keep doing it to you - she must appreciate why you dont want her seeing you nude.

I doubt the mother has set times when she needs something out of the room......
Duct-tape your boxers on, and what lies beneath, down.
