I find myself liking it more and more when everyone leaves, ( ex. shopping trip, girls vacation, travel for work). I strip naked and enjoy doing whatever tf I want to do. Sunbathe nude outside, watch whatever I wanna watch on TV, eat what I want etc, walk around the house naked..
Anyone else do that? Enjoy it?
Why do us men like having the house all to ourselves?

Because there’s no nagging
I can jerk off
Peace and quiet. It’s good for our mental health,
.
It’s more peaceful and as someone else already stated, no nagging 🤣.
Don’t say jerk off in peace, dont say jerk off in peace..
Awww yeah its nap time
Done all of the above today (apart from nude sunbathe)
Silence!
Having other people in the house is like being on call
It’s not just men. My wife enjoys turning me down on a afternoon long motorcycle ride as much as she likes going. Who doesn’t want to have the house to themselves?
peace, quiet, and calm.
I’m home alone today as my wife and daughter are at her sisters helping with the weans, and my son is at his pals for the night. Watching what I like, eating a takeaway, and lounging on the sofa with the cat and a wee dram is smashing from time to time.
The silence is soothing.
I think we enjoy the contrast. If I was by myself all the time I would be climbing the walls, but getting a few hours to myself away from responsibility is bliss.
2 days max. and then I’m missing the misses. I can’t game for more than 5 hours per day because I get a bit frustrated. Im already working on a computer for 8-10 hours each day for work. So… what to do with the remaining hours? Drink alcohol? Clean the house? Jerk off 5 times? … yeah. Most times I clean the house perfectly. Then the misses is happy.
Because it NEVER happens. I spend a half dozen to 10 days a month in a hotel for work, and while that time alone is nice, it doesn’t remotely compare to being home alone for just a little bit. My house is literally the one place I don’t ever get time alone. 99% of the time that’s great. I love how much time I get to spend with my wife and kids and have a job that lets her stay home and let’s me have a ton of time with all of them. But man… just 2 hours on the couch playing a video game without even the dog bothering me is such a treat.
It’s a break from the chaos that is having a family. I rarely get alone time these days so I savor what I get.
As a man, there is nothing more liberating than sitting down naked with your legs open as the air circulates around your balls
Jacking off
Peace and quiet.
Because you can enjoy your time guilt free. You don’t feel like you should be doing someone for/ with someone else.
Nothing better than living alone in your own big house over a cuckpartment.
You can actually get the stuff done, that’s usually put off in order to do things for others
Sometimes I just want peace and quiet. If that means I can watch sports, a movie, game, etc. I like other people but just need to relax sometimes.
This is the first time in 15 years that my wife travelled and I’ve been without kids (in college) and our dog (passed three months ago).
This is the first week that I haven’t liked being alone. It’s a little too alone. I should have prepared my time better.
You answered it in the question. It’s the freedom. The peace. Those precious moments one can move naturally with no pretense, no expectation, no judgment or need to justify. It’s that beautiful balance of being alone, but not lonely cuz you know your lady / family is coming back and life goes on
Personally it is so that I can choose what to do and when and how but without having to have a conversation and having to have someone else on exactly the same page. As someone who was formerly married but now lives alone in my own house, the biggest thing that comes to mind is food. Next would be things like, music or tv show or computer/game use. Choosing to do a task without having to do it in the way or achieve the result to some other person’s satisfaction. Or choosing to not be productive if I don’t feel like it.
For me some of it is also a hyperindependence thing probably related to CPTSD growing up with an abusive narcissistic perfectionist mom for whom nothing was ever good enough.
It’s the best. We can play video games, nap, watch whatever we want on TV, have a few beers all in peace. I love when my fiancé is out doing stuff on her own
I love my wife to bits. We’ve been together 25 years, but I got so tired of fixing everything. I get tired of doing all her thinking for her. She can’t do anything on her phone, if a message pops up asking something she throws it at me to sort it out. She can’t find anything to watch on TV so it’s up to me to be entertainment manager. She can’t fix a set of garden lights so it’s up to muggins to unscrew a flap and put new batteries in.
She can’t drive so it’s up to me to take her places. She doesn’t understand time or space constraints so it’s up to me to plan. She will order some thing that needs building or fixing and it’s just assumed I will do it. if there’s a problem, it’s up to me to sort it.
She won’t even make phone calls if she can palm them off onto me. Vet, insurance, anything to do with the car, etc. that’s all me.
Are we going out this weekend? Where are we going? Who knows? She already has something in mind but it’s up to me to guess correctly. Is it here? No we went there last month. Is it there? We could do that another time. What about here? Oh well I’ve wanted to try that place for a while … Ok it’s here. Why couldn’t we just say that in the first place?
It’s a game where I constantly have to know how to play to rules that are constantly changing. Fuck man, I just want to watch my show or play my game without having to save the world every ten minutes.
Let’s put a movie on. Ok it’s five minutes in and she’s already scrolling fuckbook. Here’s a cat. Great. Here’s another cat. Awesome.
“Why’s he doing that and who is she?”
YOU’D FUCKING KNOW IF YOU WATCHED THE FUCKING MOVIE.
“But I can scroll and watch the movie at the same time!”
Tears own fucking face off
“Ok I’m off to work!”
Bliss. Silence. Relief.
Because I live alone and can enjoy the silence
So I can be left alone.
Because lots of people still put on show , when there’s no one around there’s no need. It’s a tough habit to break.
No nagging/whining/complaining
The house is so clean with her away, even if the kids are home
Nothing getting broken that I have to fix
Free balls
I used to love it. Been diagnosed with some mental illnesses. Been depressed for two years now and attempted to take my life nearly a year ago, was super close to being succesfull. Now when I’m home alone I get super anxiety, afraid of what I might do.
So yes, I used to love it. Now it scares the shit out of me
Can do what you want
Missus has been away this week and I can do what I want when I want. Done nothing but watch sports, smoke weed, catch up on some projects and play warzone with the boys. My girl doesn’t even nag but I wouldn’t do all of this with her here. It’s a different pace
I think it’s not just men, it’s everyone. I’m a woman and I love having the house to myself. Even if you love your family, they can be overwhelming and it’s nice having a quiet break with no one watching or asking you to do anything.
I just like watching what I want, playing video games without a negative commentary, cooking/ordering what I want. Just basically doing whatever I want.
Like, we all miss being single, admit it, having the house to ourselves is the closest thing to it.
Because we get to watch whatever action movie we want, dabble in a video game we haven’t okayed for years without judgement, hear ourselves think and focus on ourselves. It’s a break from ourselves
I like peace and quiet. Luckily my wife did too
Peace of mind.
Autonomy.
When I was younger, and my girl wanted to go on a girls trip I would panic. “Oh no, all of those single guys, she might cheat!” Now it’s like “please go, enjoy yourself. 7 days? Awesome!”
Maybe a part of me knows that if she does cheat, I’ll be back to my life where I’m in my fortress of solitude like Kal-El.
But.. having the house to yourself, with no one talking to you?! Man, I would say that’s LEGIT better than sex. No lie.
Quietness
I like it occasionally. Recently I’ve been living alone and a lot of the time the loneliness and emptiness of the house can be overbearing. But when it was and I’d get the occasional time alone it was great
Not having to navigate 9000 questions, comments, and negotiations on every single decision I make during the day.
It is curious to see how much women seek connection and validation in their everyday lives….plus, in terms of negotiations, when I’m alone I dont have to have a discussion about how much mustard I want on a slice of bread. I just want mustard and I want to eat the sandwich already!!
Masturbation in private
So we can watch porn…
I can shit with the door open
Peace and quiet
No noise. I have 3 kids the oldest 8. Bro I just wanna hear my own thoughts
Silence….
Peace to do whatever I want. I don’t need a lot of it though. A couple hours a week
Peace and calm
No latent anxiety that you’re gonna be hit with some new expectations
No one asking me to do things or demanding my attention.
No one making me read their mind in the other room.
Even the most beautiful woman and wonderful children will drive you nuts eventually.
Peace and quiet is one thing, but it’s also nice to have a break from anyone placing demands on you. Kids need stuff, gf wants to talk, need to make decisions, need to make plans, need to pick out draperies… Whatever. Solitude means I can pursue my own agenda without having to consult or consider everyone else, and that freedom is healthy.
I’m thwacking it like there’s no tomorrow.
Because women never understand that just because we don’t want them around for a bit doesn’t mean we don’t want them around at all ever
I like to take a bath, safe in the knowledge that two minutes in a family member won’t want to take a shit in the toilet.
