I think all these questions are a bit more ... tangy ... when it comes to neighbours close by. The current builders are kind of neighbours, that I see fairly often. I see more of them than I really want to. Perhaps if the workmen are people you're never likely to see again, it might make a dfference.
But of course @Dovefromabove, I hope you know what sort of man I am, and of course I have mentioned to Moira, that the scenery next door has considerably improved.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
My OH is a Naturist - he's 81 and has been of that persuasion since he was a teenager. That rarely causes an issue but 2 occasions stand out in my mind : When we lived in France ( in the midst of a 2 acre Oak woodland ) , we were "adopted" by the local Nunnery . One of the Nuns would often pop by with various bits and pieces of foraged food. Francois turned up one day and failed to knock on the gate - just walked straight in to the garden only to be met by OH sitting on the bench totally nude. She wasn't at all fazed altho OH very quickly placed clasped hands over his lap. Whilst he didn't stand up to do the usual kiss cheeks greeting, nothing was ever said and it didn't stop any of the Nuns popping in when they wanted. The 2nd occasion took place here in the UK some 10 years ago. My elderly NDN's daughter knocked on the door early one morning and said " Can I come in - I need to talk about my Mum ". I said "OH isn't dressed yet " and she said "No problem, I've seen men in pyjamas before now ". I then had to explain - when I say he's not dressed, that's exactly what I mean - no clothes on ". The layout of the house meant OH could not sneak upstairs to get dressed without being visible. Daughter thought it was hilarious and came in, sat down and had a cup of tea. Even tho her Mum died and we moved house, she's a firm friend and still pops in every so often. IME it's not so much nudity or accidentally showing bits that are usually covered up that's a problem - after all bodies are bodies but if you ( male or female ) use it in an overtly sexual/intimidating manner, it's an entirely different scenario. I doubt the majority of trade personnel of any gender visiting your house fall into this latter category. Someone may well be embarrassd or feel a bit uncomfortable if met with this in their own home but a quiet word will usually do the trick. Basically if there is no intent to offend or shock, I can't really see it would prove a life changing incident for the average adult.
A very old fashioned (but awesome) Sister who said that full tights were mandatory to reduce the risk of pubic fallout.
"pubic fallout"? That sounds like it would need staff to sign some kind of non-disclosure agreement. Can you say more? Full tights for men? My mind is boggling.

Don’t read the next bit if easily offended...
