Getting naked...Are you a naturist at heart ?

[Trixie]

Being nude in public is something I'd probably never do. I have no problems with nudity myself, just so long as it's not me who's sans clothes. Of course I make an exception for when I'm home alone and can just relax or something. Sometimes I just won't put clothes on for a while after a shower or something. Being nude or in my underwear or other very light clothing is comfortable and relaxing for me, just so long as I don't actually catch a glimpse of myself. Keep the mirrors away.

Nope, I don't even like being naked in the shower

Well aside from the annoying reminder, I tend to live my life with nothing on but a shirt 90% of the time.

We have taught our son there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the human body regardless of the idiocy society obsesses over.

I have also told him once past the door to the outside he can expect to get that belief club over his head so he might as well just keep our belief in the house.

We have never made any effort to hide our sex life.

But when it comes to outdoors and nude, it is me time and I prefer my me time to be with mother nature, not a bunch of naked humans. I go nude to get rid of society and civilization. Unless I am with my wife for play time in the grass, I make no effort to be with anyone. I prefer untouched wilderness. A nice beach might be nice, but this is Canada.

Kia Ora Lesley_Roberta,

What Canada's got no nice nudist beaches ?

Mind you, two my sons have been to Canada and they really like the Canadian wilderness...

Somehow I can't really fathom a person considering any part of the Toronto harbour Islands an acceptable location to walk around naked

Well mostly it is I can't fathom anyone taking any of the Toronto harbour island beaches seriously.

I have been to Sand Banks Provincial park once. Nice place, the water goes out foreeeeeeever before it gets past chest height. Incredibly safe place to let kids swim, near impossible for them to end up in water too deep for them.

But for me, the idea of walking around naked in a location that is ideally a place for attracting crowds is all wrong.

What I want, is a location that looks like mankind has never been to it. And a nice spot of beach would be fun. But I fail the sun worshipper test for the most part. I am not the sort that dreams of tropical vacations. I guess I know too much about tropical climates and diseases

[Trixie]

If I were in a body I liked (a female body -  people are beautiful, I just don't like to be reminded of my dudeliness) I would be so okay with walking around sans-clothes (in a safe, accepting, non-creepy environment).

[Darkflame]

No. I can't even imagine it, I'm only naked for bathing, getting dressed, or sex. And those things took some getting used to. I don't even think post op I'd feel down with that. Maybe the little things like walking around at home without a shirt on, but in public    Not my thing. All the power to those who feel confident doing that though

If it weren't incredibly likely that id be misgendered while naked (dangly bits booo) I would rarely bother with clothes.

On second thought, the pacific northwest is cold and wet like all day every day, so maybe not....

[Lesley_Roberta]

I suppose if I rated at least an 8 on the superficial appearances scale, I might feel better about being seen naked. But then I suppose that's more a person bragging than anything else.

But I am at best a 6, and I say that knowing I am likely a 5 these days. I might have been a 7 when I was 20.

But in addition to having the wrong parts for my peace of mind, I am also not in ideal fitness. The atypical waist situation and the male pattern hair loss. The truth is the only person that wants to see me naked is my wife. And I think that is more she's seen it and just doesn't mind. I don't think I make her horny any more

I prefer to be alone, because mother nature is not interested in making a fuss over me.

I clearly remember my first time at a nudist beach, it was Studland on the south coast of England, I was about 13yrs old & spent a very long time lying on my front whilst a certain part of my body tried to tunnel through the sand to Australia.
When my body finally realised that Australia was a it too far away & gave up the effort I went for a swim, once I got used to the cold water my body started to betray me & by the time it was safe to leave the sea I was wrinkled like a pensioner.

the next day I could barely move due to a very badly sunburnt back

Kia Ora,

I was at the beach this late morning/ afternoon for a skinny dip, later this afternoon I was driving home after some shopping and was shocked to  hear a man was just killed by a shark at an Auckland mainland beach, possibly a big white, I think a few sharks joined in the attack when the first drew blood... There are plenty of sharks around NZ waters and sighting are common, but very rarely are there fatalities especially in the Auckland area...I feel for this person's family...
