Taboo question. Any naturalists here?

I’ve never been naked outdoors in Japan. I presume those are nude beaches or baths?

Perhaps the next thread can be a poll (or should that be pole) if you are a show'er or a grower?

If that’s what you’d like I presume you make a subsequent thread with poll/pole attached.

No judgement here. But I can’t even change at the pool without briefly panicking.

To each their own I guess bro. I have always felt comfortable without clothing. Don’t know how it would feel to be afraid to take it off in front of people. I don’t know if that makes you better than me or vice versa.

I’m just comfortable in different clothed setting than you.

Try it some time where it’s legal and it’s a bunch of strangers. You may enjoy it.

Ha! I think all it says is how uptight I am. 😀

Appreciate the encouragement to give it a try sometime. But these denim cutoffs never come off!

Bro, those things went out of style like 15 yrs ago. Swing it proud and reap the emotional benefits (where allowed).

Hilarious side note to define my frugality. When my jeans get large holes in the knees I cut them off above the knee and make my self some Jorts.

It’s OK Goat. We all get confused at times. But you did mean walking around in your birthday suit while a tour bus pulls in, right?

I still think it’s fine if nobody screams.

I’m not against it or for it…if it makes you feel happy and you’re in a place that it is acceptable you should be able to enjoy yourself. The people in the other boat were wrong for intruding on your space.

Back in the late '60's, in New Zealand, a friend took me along to a 'nudist’ camp' where he was a member.

When we got there i understood why.

He was wearing a Rolex Daytona with bagettes and i wasn't.

Uh, no... not for me. There are parts of this body that have never seen sunlight, nor will they.

Ain't nobody that wants to see that. I think a hand full of sand in the eye then a fork to scratch it with would be less damaging than to see this stuff in the out in the open.

So no one asked? What do you do with your watch when you're Au Natural?

We went to a nude beach on our honeymoon, sort of by accident. I say sort of because we were aware, but we’d heard so many great things about the beach itself we decided why not. After the initial (I’ll call it … “uncomfortableness”) wore off, we did enjoy the day.

I can’t say it was necessarily my thing, but I can see how for others it might might be.

Your question makes me wonder where you generally have your watch strapped to?

Most people leave it on their wrist or put it in a beach bag I guess.

I frequented nude beaches in California and Hawaii when I was in my twenties and thirties, but at a wrinkled and flabbier eighty I'm afraid I'd scare the horses. I never equated being au naturale with sex.

But haven't you been tempted to take your plane up in the air and strip off all your clothes and buzz the neighborhood.


Or am I just projecting????

Not just tempted; I've done it (flying solo). I never joined the Mile High Club.
