+1 yA little clarification up front -- I'm a 53yo male, not in bad shape (no beer gut, ok muscle tone, working on making it better) -- not a creeper or an exhibitionist. I simply love the beach and don't like to wear clothes if I don't have to. I don't care if anyone sees me naked, but I also don't want to make anyone else uncomfortable. I went to a beach with a C/O area for the first time this week, midweek in the late morning. It was cool and with the exception of a couple of people laying on their towels at upper edge of the beach by a bluff, everyone on the beach was clothed, but I knew nudity was accepted and common here. I shed my clothes and sat back on my towel for a bit to check out the environment. Shortly, a couple of girls (late teens, maybe) and their mom walked by -- all clothed (jeans, pullover sweatshirts) -- and asked if I knew where a set of nearby stairs led. I answered, they thanked me and went on their way without batting an eye. I decided to take the plunge and walk the 200-300 feet to the surf. Walking along the surf is one of my favorite things anyway, just have never done it naked. I spent the next hour or so walking up and down the beach, stopping to watch the ocean, look at the birds, check out jelly fish that had washed up. I passed people of all ages -- individuals, couples, joggers, walkers, people with their dogs -- no reaction at all, just like passing people on the street. This was my first experience being naked in a truly public setting and it suddenly occurred to me that I was quite literally the only naked person walking around on the beach amid a decent number of clothed folk and it was perfectly ok and accepted. It was exhilarating and liberating -- a really wonderful experience. I can't recommend it enough. Once you realize that you're not being stared at and nobody is shocked, you can simply relax and enjoy the feeling of not being draped in fabric.

Haha, whatever floats your boat! If you don't mind seeing a bunch of older men naked! XD

I'll try not to stare even though I know it will be hard but I think I can do it if I bring some people with me
+1 yI have and would again. However, I've never gone nude hahahaha. I've been with my boyfriend and his mate, and they both got naked, and I went to various ones in Europe with my two best friends and they got topless, but I'm a prude! I feel uncomfortable being nude in public. I went skinny dipping the other day with my bf because we were completely alone at a secluded beach, and someone came down the cliff thing. I almost had a heart attack. lol

I might go, but in all fairness I wouldn't feel comfortable being naked around a bunch of strangers, besides I am not of the impression that anybody else would really want to see me naked, and even if I were in better shape, I still don't think I'm all that and a bag of chips. Granted as I understand it the whole nudity thing isn't really all about that, but still I wouldn't feel comfortable presuming that they would find me appealing, and no I'm not trying to make this about me, I'm just not of the belief that my middle aged, overweight fish belly white body is something other people would look at and say "wow that is a pleasure to look at" ;-)

Your welcome. 😄
I enjoy swimming naked but not with other people around. I'm not ugly but I be very self conscious of myself. I've gone swimming naked with my girl in high school and my buddy and his girl. We were close friends then so we didn't care but I don't think if do it now lol
10 ReplyThe rule of thumb is, 99% of the people willing to go nude in public will be people you'd pay to wear clothing.
60 ReplyI would go but not alone I would definitely have my gym crew with me anyplace that involves no shirt on were there (joking)( we don't steroid) but i don't think i would go naked i would leave my boxers on that far as i go. Not because im self conscious i'd feel like as if i were bragging walking around naked
00 ReplyNo, I really don't want to see all that nakedness. Plus there's lots of little creatures at the beach that I'd prefer not exposing myself to.

+1 yI've been to a nude swimming area on a river, in mixed company. So yeah, I'd go to a nude beach. When everybody is naked, it's almost like nobody's naked. It's a really relaxing, accepting environment to be in.

the first time you go you have to deal with the anxiety you have about it, and for guys that means the fear of getting an erection. But once you get naked and everyone else is too, you sort of wonder why it's such a big deal.
- +1 y
Yeah ok. Guess I'll have to try it one day. I might chicken out though but I will try.
- +1 y
you really owe it yourself to at least try it once. If you don't like it, don't ever do it again. But I think you'd be surprised how accepting it is. People don't judge you. Everybody pretty much looks the same without clothes on.
- +1 y
Ok if you say so. I'll try it next time I'm in Miami

that's a great place to start. :)
