My father did it to my mother and now my husband to me.

I noticed that men are very testy about undrawn curtains during the day and especially at night when their wives are undressed.

As women, we honestly think that we are covered at that there's no chance of any one getting a show, but the reactions of the men in my life have led me to believe otherwise.

When curtains are drawn and the inner blinds are down I believe that there's no chance that anyone can see me (during the day) and if perchance at night a curtain is open (only bungalows surround our building and we live on the first floor), my husband is still not at ease.

Another female friend confirmed that her husband reacts this way as well.

I was wondering whether it's because men know that many men are/were peeping thumbs and they believe that their kind will take advantage of any opportunity to sneak a peek.

Any similar experiences and to our nairaland men, what is your take?

Honestly, you are right. I have had arguments relating to that with my husband a million and one times. I have told him to get over it, who's interested in seeing my bosoms that have lost gravity or my sagging belly anyways

its an instinctive reaction. I've even had cause to ask my woman to change her leggings because it hugs too tight when she goes out on her own. No man wants another man peeping at his exclusive show abeg.

Lmao @ leggings. God help you men

Interesting insights, thanks for confirming this observation.

@davidylan does that mean if she wears leggings out with you its ok, since u'll be there to police your 'exclusive show'

@jennykadry my sista, i feel ur pain, my husband is even cool, you should see my dad who's over 60 giving my mum a hard time, no be small thing.

Wearing leggings out with me is very fine, since i get to admire, touch all day and stand guard over my "show".
without me, its a complete no-no. Cant trust men these days . . .

OMG! I thought I was the only one. I always ask him - do you really think there is a man standing outside, holding binoculars, just waiting for me to open the window so he can sneak a peek? Here I was thinking my husband was paranoid, and it turns out all men are .

Oh, gosh, my hubby is like that too! You should see him if I get out of the bathroom wearing a towel around me, he'd be running everywhere trying to close curtains and lock doors, as if there were a crowd of men waiting outside for me to come out the shower

Ladies, please tell me: does it make you feel more of a woman to be scantily clad or naked in your own home?

It's not your fault . . . . you wear your boxers and singlets about and you think we don't like fresh air touching our own bodies too . . . Mtchhhhhew!

Waoh ! Nice to know i'm not the only man bothered about this. When we moved to a new apartment ,I just couldn't bring myself to have sexx with my wife until I had studied the whole area to be sure that my "private show" is secured. In fact I couldn't sleep for several days.

And for the ladies. YES almost any man will stop and peep if you make it easily available to him.

Nice thread!!!

We do that cos our wives are/have precious thing/show that belong to Us ONLY-Hubby

i used to think he was just been over protective but reading dis now, i now know it's a male thing/ego.

The worst was when we were still dating. He made me promise never as in never ever open the windows or curtains once i am home even if heat wan kill me. In fact, he made sure the curtains were very thick and none of those ones that meet at the center, then he used pegs to hold down all the edges. In the bathroom, he used a big cement block to wedge the windows and then cover it.

I always ask why it is okay for him to prance around the house in his boxers (and we are all women o) but not okay for me to wear my bum shorts. I always wear jeans trousers or skirts at home. So uncomfortable. Wonder what their problem is. Even if guys sneak a peak, so what? Can they touch? I try not to bother cos it could lead to arguments.

So if I should get married he'd be worried about un-drawn curtains? Coolllll Can't wait to torment him further. As for now, he gets agitated when I wear clothes that are above my knee. Always talking about a ra.pist/pervert sneaking up on me. Says I can get away with it, while he's with me. I've never been this conscious while shopping for clothes. Before it was a matter of if the clothes are fine or not, now I have to think of long, tall, lofty dresses that are below my knees lol, just to pacify him. But sometimes I go for the shock value, the expressions I get are classic. Love it!

Lol @ your husbands. Funny thing is the women I've been with have enuff paranoia to last us both, but I think it's instunctive o, considering what you ladies put us through before we could see, abeg your bodies are treasures o even with gravity-compliance bobbies and sagging bellies. Your body, MY treat. Chikena.

Why would you want neighbours to be ogling at your wife through the windows, Maybe invite friends over to come watch free show at a certain time of the day, Might even take pictures

omg, this is all so funny ROTLMAO

I dont know where to start.

. Abi o, they can't touch

If we are both in and I am scantily dressed and the doorbell rings, he will come sliding & catapulting down the stairs three by three so that he gets to the door before I get there even though I am already downstairs. Just hope he doesn't break a leg one day. . . .As if the post man or delivery man doesn't have his own wife at home.

It's kinda cute to see our men tripping over "nothing",

We men know what goes on in the minds of other men, so trust us on this one .

In terms of drawing the curtain I think my wife is more paranoid than I am. But I noticed I don't like her walking around the house scantily dressed, I think I find her more pleasing and attractive when properly dressed. I am not sure if this has something to do with her naked-appearance or if she just looks better when dressed. In general, I think our wives are a big part of our lives, they make a big imprint on our image and ego, and I guess the husbands are afraid of anyone seeing some unattractive inner body parts (e.g sagging breast (u will get if you have given birth to babies), big tummy (u will get if you have given birth to babies), spotty chest/back etc). Usually all these things are covered under nice decent dresses.

whether the bosoms have lost gravity or not, the belly is sagging or firm. We Men always  protect our investments.

Me I don talk tire. My wife just keeps forgetting to cover up and shut the blinds. Now I know it cuts across most women, I wont bother anymore.

i'vnot seen that in reality but a lot of movies show where neighbours peep into neighbours room nd some actions consequently. So I think that if our husbands
are edge abt this, its undastandable.

Funny thread. My wife has one dangerous hot pant she wears at home, I had to warn her when I caught her attempting to go outside the house while wearing that same hot pant. I couldn't believe she would even answer the door wearing that thing. Meanwhile, she's always not comfortable with me wearing only boxers in the presence of other ladies except relations and when I asked her reason, her response was; can't you see your something is almost popping out.

Whether my wife had the body of Beyonce or Patience Jondull, as a man i'm a security guard first and everything else second.
And you ladies, how do we win with you? It is only when we show you love and affection the way you've seen it in popcorn movies that you are satisfied, but when we express it in the way we've been doing it for thousands of years we get certified paranoid, na wa o!

We moved to a new area and i had to change the curtain TWICE.
Because the first one wasnt thick enough.
Its ok for me to walk around in my boxer shorts but for her to do the same is something else.
I know how happy i am seeing my wife UnCloth,bath,cream her body and wear clothes in my presence.
I'll love to make that experience completely PERSONAL.

Call me greedy,jealous or any other name in the dictionary.Na u sabi.

I remembered when my wife wore her g-string underwear with a net evening wear and she was about going down stair to message d gateman. I called her back in a romantic tone and said " Abeg no vex heat dey too much why not remove d gown as well" . She understood me sharp sharp.

Only men can understand what men can do.

Good to know am not alone, And my hubby is very normal when acts up coz of curtains.
