Seniors, Are You Comfortable Being Naked in Front of Others?

A friend described a weird neighbor/exhibitionist who sometimes did gardening in his front yard naked. It's a regular family neighborhood with houses 5 feet apart & lots of children. Police were called several times & he was arrested.
My friend's description had me ROFLOL'ing:
She said, "I looked out my living room window & he's just dangling along." :ROFLMAO:
 
You know they say that Europeans are more easy going with nudity. At the same time, Canadians and Americans are generally speaking pretty uptight about stripping down to the "nitty, gritty." As for me, I not very keen on "strutting my stuff." Actually, I'm a little bit like that little dwart called Bashful that used to hang around Snow White.

I grew up when we had communal showers for Physical Education (PE) - I graduated High School in 1977.
There was no choice, just the way it was - like it or not.
We also would sometimes skinny dip in lakes and creeks if we were out hunting or fishing...

In the PE Change Rooms in school, it was a lot of boys buck neckid with the associated / expected grab asszzzing and horseplay - until the Coaches had enough and went to Teeing Off on the wet naked Butts with the Board of Education...... It was Bend Over and grab your ankles and then Bam ! They would raise some hellacious welts on the .....
But I will say, when the Coaches controlled us all - and if there was a fight - then it was going to be painful for both parties no matter who won.

When I went Offshore in 1979 as a lower than dirt green wormy Roustabout - we had communal showers... it was a promotion to move up to where I had shared Bathroom with 4 man Cabin.

Then as I progressed - I got my own private cabin and bathroom...that was much better.

Now in retirement, I love to chase ms gamboolgal around the ole 4 poster buck neckid...🥰

Always heard about Hippy Hollow at UT near Austin growing but ms gamboolgal and I have never been to a Nude Beach or Resort. Honest truth is we would not be comfortable....

Why do we feel uncomfortable about the human body? Is it because we are so called civilized as opposed to people living in a culture that does require clothing? For us who may be ashambed or uneasy around nudity I must question which of the two cultures are savages and which culture respects the nudity of human beings?

I’m not going to walk around nude even in privacy of my home, but interestingly modern society with its pornography and perveted sense of reality cast's a dark shadow on the nature of humanity.

In Genesis it roughly states after Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge they realized their nakedness and ran and hid from God because they were ashambed. Ashambed of what, God created them or were they ashambed of breaking their covenenet with God? In any case, the before and after fruit consumption, Adam and Eve evolved into an impure state being, seeing and understanding life differently than before.

In my present state of being I could not live in culture that promoted nudity. If however, I grew up in such a society I would not be opposed to a life without clothing. If given the choice at birth I would go all out free as a Jaybird.
 
I find "normal" beaches far more seksual than nudist beaches. Young women in small bikinis are highly seksual and alluring. Nudist beaches portray women that leave nothing at all to the imagination. Curiosity is gone. All the women are far more alike at a nudist beach. It's the --- seen one, you've seen them all. Sure, when you just arrive and see the nude people, it's a novelty. That goes away fairly rapidly. From then on, it's just people, and their gender-based bits are about shocking as seeing naked dog. People are the only life-form on earth that are afraid and disgusted to see a human body. It's called gymnophobia - the fear of nudity. It's a mental disorder that can be cured. I'm not being insulting, or trying not to be, but why is the human body something to fear? We all have them.
 
El Publico? Totally nekid nope haha. 🥵 But at the level of conservative modest swimwear, no problemo. Sun to skin, have always greatly loved looking at females at ocean beaches. In this era visit our Pacific beaches occasionally and more often than not is about specific adventures and photography. So not even near people. Besides to be honest, I've always enjoyed having smiling tanned women at beaches in warm sun and sand look at me too.

In wilderness, I jump in lakes and streams almost every day regardless of how cold waters are. Just might instantly bound out like jumping jack on steroids if cold. Unlike most, I love being fresh and clean out on the trail. But...buh...buh.........bu## nekid in human public.............................. :ROFLMAO:

Exposing skin to the sun on Australian beaches leads to skin cancer.

As for nude beaches as a general topic I am OK with it provided every age level, from children to teens and young adults, all the way up to grandparents, is safe from harassment.

It is exhibitionism that I find offensive, especially when the beach is a busy family beach rather than a secluded beach for nudists.
 
I don't wear a whole lot in summer
Camo shorts, shoes
Tank top when we go to town

Comfy even without any of those

After awhile, it feels weird to wear anything

Now that the temps have dropped, started wearing actual clothes

I'll get used to it...snow predicted
 
I am not a modest person. I just don’t really care about nakedness. I wear clothes because it’s the socially acceptable thing to do, and because it’s not socially acceptable to go without clothes.

I mean when it’s cold, sure. But when I go swimming? When it’s super hot? When I’m sleeping? I can get away with not wearing clothes when I'm sleeping or when I’m in the house but I would dearly LOVE to have the freedom to go without clothes at other times to, whenever I feel like I’d be more comfortable.

But I’m a rule follower so, sadly, I don’t. 😢
 

Seniors, Are You Comfortable Being Naked in Front of Others?​


"Y'mean everything off, absolutely naked, even showing the bits below my belly that have been hiding from me for years, well, I don't know, I'm a bit shy. 😊

Not at all ! I have a friend who lived in a nudist colony for many years and I never went to visit him. Even though in my mind I can rationalize that it is not a sexual atmosphere where he lived I could not get over my insecurities to go there to visit. Plus I am uncomfortable seeing other people naked .
 
I would never go to a nudist camp or beach but perfectly happy not to wear clothes at home, certainly in summer, I live up in the clouds, people would need to be double jointed and use binoculars to see in, if they manage it, good luck to them ! :ROFLMAO:
 
If you're personally uncomfortable or embarrassed about being naked in public or seeing other people naked, it's not a crime. 👮‍♂️ No one is going to force you to disrobe against your will and/or look at naked people. :oops:

Yes, there are some people who enjoy getting naked and are exhibitionists. They go to places like Hedonism, where that type of behavior is permitted and engaged in. However, true "naturists" are not exhibitionists. They're not looking to show off their perfect physiques or engage in lascivious behavior, and there are no judgments or criticisms about being less than physically perfect, i.e., wrinkly, saggy, or overweight. They are people who enjoy allowing themselves to relax and commune with nature in the buff, either alone or with like-minded people. It's a very freeing and beautiful thing! Nobody who is truly into the experience gives a cr@p about how you look. It ain't about that. 🙂
 
its not a problem as we came out naked and will go back naked ...

but clothes maketh a body ...and going topless to me always looks ugly , but if you have a nice fitted bikini or costume , one looks so much better ........doesnt one think ? LOLL

Yea, an eight year old naked topic thread. Naked these days isn't what it once was, I can go to a Halloween party now dressed as myself and win the prize for the scariest costume.

Back in the mid 70s was camping in the Sequoia National Park, was a group of people skinny dipping a stream that cut into the granite, we just took off our clothes and joined in. The novelty of naked wore off after a short bit, and with sufficient wine coolers seemed quite natural.
