Donald Ducking

Next best thing to nudity

I’m a big fan of nudity, although I suppose I’m not technically a nudist. I have no problem with communal nudity and the idea of separating nudity from sexuality. I have no problem with familial nudity for many of the same reasons. Nudism (or naturism, although I won’t split hairs here) tends to promote better body image, practicing acceptance, removing the taboo from nudity and somewhat from sex too, more meaningful and genuine relationships, and so forth. However, I also really like nudity precisely for its connection to sexuality, obviously in the context of a partnership/marriage rather than something more communal. (Maybe the lesson of nudism ought to be less about decoupling nudity from sex and more about keeping sex in its proper context, but that’s another discussion for another time.) Anyway… Today’s Urban Dictionary WOTD (word of the day) — I do recommend subscribing to this, as they are both informative and hilarious — was “Donald Ducking”. Its definition is wearing only a shirt and no pants, similar to Donald Duck’s habitual attire.

I enjoy Donald Ducking at home frequently. Not only is it usually more comfortable and avoids the occasional chill of total nudity, but it keeps my meat and potatoes front and center for Mrs. Hammers to enjoy. And I really enjoy her enjoyment! It’s like carrying a sidearm openly. You’re always armed and ready and onlookers know it. (I tried to find a good picture of Donald Duck with a sidearm on his hip but couldn’t. I also couldn’t find one with his penis and balls hanging front and center, although I did find a couple with him sporting a covered boner. I wonder what that search history will do to the ads I’m shown.)

I’m going to sidestep some of the usual topics of nudism, even home nudism, like avoiding leaving hash marks when you sit, sweaty butt crack on certain seating materials, stovetop cooking with grease, and shaking that last drop of pee before dripping it any ol’ place. These may be legitimate questions easily addressed, but this isn’t about the nude lifestyle per se. I’ll tackle these in another post.

Maybe Donald Ducking can be used as a stepping stone toward total nudity, explored part-time for heightening a couple’s sexual atmosphere, and beginning on the road toward a healthy body image. No matter the cause, it’s a worthwhile practice to experiment with. You can also work your way up to it gradually by starting with going commando (no underwear), a generally healthy option you can read about online in countless places. You can keep a pair of pants or a skirt, whichever is your bent, near the front door for those times you must answer it or leave the house. Or you can bravely forgo all day and save on laundry, too.

Besides the silly name, I really just wanted to bring awareness to some of the joys of partial nudity. I also like to encourage as much sexuality as you can handle, and going without pants is a fun way to do this with your significant other. I especially encourage the occasional pelvic bump when encountering your mate around the home, all the more so if one or both of you are Donald Ducking.
