I was sixteen, riding my bicycle all by myself on the coast of Croatia, near Rijeka. It was summer, and the temperatures were soaring. I had to stop very regularly to fill my water bottle. I came to a small bay, and the water looked extremely tempting, so I decided to go for a swim. I didn't have my swimming trunks, but I figured I could swim in my boxers. So I locked my bicycle to a tree, and started climbing down the steep cliffside down to the sea. When I finally managed to get down to the small pebble-beach at the bottom of the cliffs, I realized that of the twenty-something people on the beach, not one was wearing a single thing. I suddenly felt like I was intruding, and was about to leave, but I really wanted that swim, and I did not want to climb back up the narrow path on the cliffside without having cooled down.
I took of my T-shirt and shorts, and was standing there in my boxers. I was embarassed to take them off, but somehow it was also embarassing being the only person present wearing something. So I stripped off my boxers, and strode quickly into the water, as I felt I was getting an erection. Once in the water, it was just lovely, but the erection would not go down, and when I looked back up at the beach, and saw some of the sexy young women lying there, proudly displaying all their beauty, it sure didn't get any better. I swam from the small beach, along the side of the cliffs, till I was hidden by the craggy rock. There I held on to the rock face, and jerked off. Images of the girls on the beach kept flashing before my eyes, and I remember I came pretty hard.
I waited a little while, and then swam back. As I walked out of the water, being naked strangely didn't feel awkward any more. I didn't have a towel, so I lay down on the smooth, tiny pebbles of the beach to dry off. I gazed around at the people there, and I saw that they were of every age, from 1 to 90, and every shape, from pencil-thin, to walrus-huge, both men and women. And it was neither embarassing nor disgusting, it felt like the most natural thing in the world.
I didn't leave that beach until it started to get dark in the evening. Some of the young people there spoke English, and I got to know several interesting people that day. We were sitting talking, playing in the water, diving off the cliffs, all the time wearing nothing but our birthday suits. Since that day I have always preferred skinny dipping, and when I go to the sea or to the pool, I try to find places which are clothes optional, or where there are no people to protest. It has made me accept my body much more than I did before, and it has taught me the beauty of the human form, no matter what shape it is, without it being a sexual thing. It is simply a thing of true beauty. If and when I have kids, I'll take them to places where nudity is normal, and not something naughty, in the belief that it will give them a healthier view on their own body. I have talked to many, many people who have grown up with nudity as normal, and not a single one of them have had self-esteem issues, eating disorders, or any of those things connected to the image of the human body that is created by media and commercials.
I highly recommend taking the big step past the nervousness connected to taking your clothes off. You'll never want to go back.
The only one I can think of that was on purpose where someone might see, and it's a big might, was skinny dipping at night in our pool when I was younger. Pretty securely private yard, so nobody from the street could see. Though, someone in an apartment building next to us or something might have gotten an eyeful. Same goes for the sex in the backyard.
I never do it where there are a lot of people around. Don't want to have to sell tickets!
It's never happened...but after reading a book of memoirs by David Sedaris called "Naked" and his visit to a nudist colony..it has sparked my itnerest...
Lol- that would so be worth getting kicked out.... I have this open campus, trees and grassy areas everywhere- lots of places to run free through...lol.
We have at least one every year go through "the oval" which the person taking this photo was standing on the west side of, looking east. Basically, it's a huge open grass area with some brick walkways, shaped like (wow) an oval. It is surrounded by buildings with windows looking out over the campus...so, everyone can see when a streaker goes through. This time of year though, things could get frostbitten.
I once ran through a mall and the adjoining parking lot naked. I was drunk and towards the end, had a hard time running because I couldn't stop laughing at the old security guard chasing me.
I have skinny-dipped, but that was with people I knew, so I'm not sure if that really counts - the beach was so deserted I don't think anyone could see me.
I have been to a European spa, though, where the major part of it was clothing-optional. most people wandered around naked and, once I saw that I had really nothing to be ashamed of, I stripped off too. It felt very liberating and (with one minor exception) not at all sexual. Went there many times.
I adore nudity...enjoyed skinny dipping many times at a small lake in the town I lived in years ago. Was with a small group of friends. It's awesome and liberating. There's a nude beach not too far from me that I recently heard about...looking forward to visiting!
I actually just came from the official opening of the first clothes optional beach in my town! There's like a sign and all, but still some people come wandering down, and get really confused when most of the people aren't wearing anything. Some just get all embarassed and leave, and some just say "what the heck" and sit down. After a while, those people normally shed their clothes as well. Like after the first swim, when they come back out of the water and the swim suit is all cold and wet and clammy, they realize that swim wear is actually a nasty idea, thought up between religious prudes and fashion companies...
I am a Christian, but I don't think it's any kind of sin to wear the suit God gave me for my Birthday... ;)
I would love to go sans clothing more often than I do.... In college some folks had a very private off campus house with a pool and went to several parties where a group of us (not the whole party) would go naked usually ended up with a group of us in the hot tub 12 was the max we ever got up to. On my honeymoon in jamaica.. Camping trips... In my college there is a tradition of streaking and I am proud to say I am a very traditional person!
nudie beaches rock, took my freind to one she was very self conscies about her breasts which where a little scared from a breast reduction that she had had. after that her confidence sored and we went nude several times afterwards to different beaches. It is liberating to wip off your gear and say to the world this is me accept me for who I am and to be accepted for all of your differences.
I went to a nudist resort in oxford mi once with my wife on our anniversary. it was great i love being nude in doors or out i used to hop a fence when i was younger tothe clubhouse pool and we would skinny dip
me and wifey go to the hotsprings here in oregon naked. not drunk, but do have a few drinks while in the pools. remember no glass please. peeps of all ages from 4-80 yrs. old. every walk of life at the hotsprings. hot chicks to some people that should not be naked in public....ooops did i say that out loud? its all good.
When I was younger, we used to have "moon races". While walking home from the movies, we would pull our pants to our ankles, and then "race" to the next telephone pole. We did this next to the main highway through our town, so lots of folks got to watch. The gals would race too! Been streaking as well.
Cofee is good in the morning, beer is good at night.
Tea is good in the daytime, soda is alright
But there’s something that I always like
Any time night or day,
making love to you
Love’s the only way.
Only if you stayed in the snow for too long. I’ve been "snow-bathing" naked when it was 20 degrees below freezing, it’s kinda nice. You need a hot shower or bath or sauna to flee into, though.
standing in door way at hotel. ass to the beach. buurrrr its a bit cold out there.
