Neighbour over the back has recently cut down a tree in his garden, which sadly means we are now treated to a princely view from our kitchen window of the fat bugger waving his wedding tackle around as he gets dressed in his bedroom.

The concept of curtains and blinds seems somewhat lost on him.

Any tips for putting an end to this glorious peep show?

I had the same problem,posted about it on here and Junkyard said he had let him see him rubbing himself while he was enjoying the view,which had stopped the problem.

Laser pen.

Nothing would make you shut your curtains quicker than having your tadger being targeted by a sniper.

I did jury service for someone being prosecuted for waving his todger around in similar circumstances, though with slightly less gardening involved.

Tell him you can see him (it) and if he doesn't stop, tell the Police. Child's face etc...

Now if it were his 18 year old daughter...

We lived the other year in a 5th floor flat, which had a view of the back of a terrace. One old lad used to go out the back door and stand there ****ing while his wife was in the kitchen.

That was odd...

IANAL, but I don't think that would work. I'm pretty sure it has to be proven that he is naked with the intention of causing offence, or something, which would be very hard to prove indeed, in his own house. Unless he was, y'know, doing a bit more than just walking around.

So, stop looking seems a good answer. Although a note probably wouldn't go amiss, he'd probably not be too happy that he's strutting his stuff unintentionally... Personally, I'd generally be a little averse to deliberately aiming lasers at other men's penises, but whatever floats your boat I suppose...

I tend to strip naked in my back garden after a ride. I 'think' the shrubs/trees are preventing neighbourly views, but they are now looking a bit thin. No-one has mentioned anything...

I suppose if I was causing any offence, I would like to be told.

It's strangely compelling. Well, not actually, but what I've seen already cannot be unseen, any more glimpses of the underworld may cause mental scarring.

As for me having the put the blinds down, I would say the onus is on the nekkid person to pull down the shutters, as it were.

How can you be sure your neighbour isn't blind and doesn't realise the trees have gone? Your post makes the stereotypical non-disabled assumptions with worrying undertones of black Jewish gypsy homosexual lesbian whale-lover hatred as well.

Whack a leylandii in at the end of your garden.

Then topiary it into the shape of a big old wang.

Just video him. Put it on Youtube (with bits pixelated) then share it on here. When it gets 1000+ views send him a card with the URL on it.

OP, how many times a day does he get dressed? Do you just stare at his window daily just to catch him in his birthday suit? Maybe stop staring into his house?

It's quite hard to avoid it 'catching your eye' when it's the only light on opposite while I'm doing the washing up. This morning he had the blind half pulled down, which meant that only his nethers were parading across my eyeline, like some bizarre art installation.

But you're right, I shall not raise my eyes from the dishes in future...

You might think the onus is on him, but you'd be wrong. Nothing wrong with being naked in your own house, thank goodness. Stop looking or you might find the police are more interested in your activities as a peeping tom.

How about a brazillion lumens lamp aimed at his bedroom window. Every time he gets nekkid turn on the lamp. That might get the message across....

Just as there is nothing wrong with being naked in your own house, there is also nothing wrong with looking out of your own Windows.

Do you live in a Victorian house, OP?

According to [b]Planning[/b] magazine:
[i]The Edwardians first introduced standards for minimum distances between main house windows.[/i]
[i]They were built 22m apart so that a gentleman's wife's nipples would not be visible from next door.[/i]

Get some of that one way reflective film on a roll, and while he's out one day, apply it to the outside of his windows.

Derekstarship (of this parish) had a similar problem, but the neighbour was about 20. She frequently applied all over moisturiser and did stretches in full view of his kitchen window IIRC.

In my last job my room looked out over the road at the back of the school and from my desk I could see the windows of the top floor flats. Depending on shifts there would appear in my line of sight a nurse who would strip then wander round naked for a while. Id say she was about 25 years old.............and stone.

Eventually got her to stop, amazing the effect of 20teenage boys staring can have.

It really is as easy as don't look don't focus on it. Go to the far east people manage to do everything in public sight with a complete air of privacy because others simply ignore them and don't stare.

I has this same issue in a tenement flat. Mine was slightly higher than across the (one lane) road. Guy across the way streaked all the time, but he was young and good looking so it never occurred to me to complain. In fact I think there were two of them. He used to do his ironing naked in the morning with all the lights on. Not every day mind.

Then some people I knew moved in below him, could see right into their flat too. I told them the very first time, cos that was not cool, and they put some blinds up.

The ability to stare with a horrified expression, and tut loudly, is what sets us above other nations. 🙂

Fortunately the blinds are down this morning. Makes me wonder if he's on here...

If you can't tell he is flacid or not from a distance, how can you see the cock?

From that distance a naked person is simply going to look like a sausage with legs wandering around in the window.

But surely there is something wrong about parading naked in front of an window visible to any passers by? I'm sure if you lived next door to a school or something, then police may have something to say about it, even if you are in your own home.

I live at the top of our staff village, in the bosses house, I parade around naked all the time, nobody has complained so far, although I don't often see people peering at me through their windows.

We had to point out to old neigbour in Sheffield that having a bathroom that faced onto the terraced steet and applying hemorrhoid cream was not a good idea - and that two other neigbours had mentioned it to us before we noticed, but were to embarrassed to say to him...

There is a new build up here that I ride past regularly, which is the typical concrete block guest houses we have around here, but this one has a bathroom off the side, looking at the busy main road, with the toilet on the corner. Not unusual you might think but the whole bathroom is three very large looking sheets of glass with no curtains.

Weird

having a bathroom that faced onto the terraced street

Our over the road neighbours have a front facing bathroom. It has that privacy glass in the window, so you can't actually 'see' whoever's in there. However, it does give a sort of pixellated version, and distinguishes between light and dark quite well. From which we readily deduced that she is not 'on trend' when it comes to pubic trimming.

We had to make a comment - we can avoid looking and a bit of pixellated minge is hardly worth getting frothed about anyway - but it's a busy commuter rat run, and there's an awful lot of people on the 27 bus of a morning.....

She now has a blind.

Daily Mail reader, are you? When the window is lit, and directly opposite, thus making it pretty much impossible to avoid, then do you seriously suggest that the OP spends his entire time in his own kitchen not looking at anything outside?

countzero, no I'm just explaining the law to some who seem hard of understanding. Contacting the neighbour might work, but they are not doing anything wrong. If the OP doesn't like the view, he is perfectly at liberty to close his own blinds.

if he really doesn't realise then laser pen

Of course he's not breaking the law. He's just haunting my nightmares...

Some of the lawyerly advice extended to suggesting I was going have the cuffs slapped on for glancing out of my own window, so I'm not sure it entirely hits the mark.

Just to emphasise the true frivolity of the thread for anyone who's not quite grasped that, here's a gif. 😀

The lawyerly advise is both voyerism and indecent exposure are offences both have a mental element that would be hard to prove for either of you.
My last similar case involved me measuring my clients inside leg and the height of his window sill.

Why should he close the blinds just because a tiny percentage of the view out of the window has a cock in it? All he needs to do is draw a pair of pants on the glass.
