Close as I have been is skinny dippiing in a hot tub with friends! :)

I don’t see the reason for it. And after my city tried legalizing it for awhile (a very short while), I’d rather not see it at all. The folks who participate are [b]never[/b] the ones with fit, “beach” bodies. 😳🤢

@chrisCA Hey, I resemble that remark. (grins) we have an area near Malibu that still has a communal atmosphere, lot's of musicians, artist, and earth lovers live in Topanga Canyon.

bijouxbroussard · F

@Grateful4you You folks still have your own piece of the 60s (which is awesome).

Grateful4you · M

@bijouxbroussard Yes, many of the women still wear granny dresses and glasses, most are vegan. It's a walk down memory lane. Many of the homes have stained glass windows, the air pungent with the smell of pot. Very quiet and mellow.

Straylight · 31-35, F

It’s acceptable in my backyard.

GirlPower · 26-30, F

@Straylight Cool. Where I live you can also walk around a country block because there's only a few cars whizzing past.

[c=4C0073]not against it, it may need to be regulated a little, but sure why not[/c]

Degbeme · 70-79, M

Personally I`ll avoid it. I don`t need to be sued for causing trauma to people. 🤭

nedkelly · 61-69, M

@Degbeme 100% correct

Nimbus · M

@Degbeme We will be the judge of that ;)

I'm nude under my clothes 🤭

I rather don't see everyone naked 😣😵😰😰😰😰😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨

{@kesleyrules] 😆 perhaps a sick bag may need to be required in some cases but i not a prude and really are not bothered

Magenta · F

@smiler2012 Would need a lot of bags. 😄

ViciDraco · 36-40, M

So long as good hygiene is being practiced, I am okay with it. I figure I cannot put bags over the head of people's faces I do not want to see so what difference is a nipple or penis I do not want to see?

In the short term it would definitely be disruptive just due to social norms and fetishization of the naked form. But once it became normalized, it might be a net positive. Specifically regarding people with body image issues in typically concealed parts of the body. There would be more visibility of what is normal. A lot of people only see those things in advertisement, entertainment, or porn and those are all highly curated and not representative of normal.

@ViciDraco [c=4C0073]nicely said[/c]

bijouxbroussard · F

@ViciDraco Those are valid, logical points. But I suspect it would’ve taken awhile for me to not be startled by encountering naked people while running daily errands. What got the laws repealed here were complaints from people whose children were seeing them.

ViciDraco · 36-40, M

@bijouxbroussard that is where I would actually say it went wrong. So long as we're discussing nudity and not people engaging in sexual behavior, I do not think children should be shielded from it. The treatment of it as forbidden and "adult" is part of why we have such an unhealthy societal relationship with nudity to begin with. It is why we have trouble separating nudity from sex.

Normalizing a taboo, even if completely logically supported, is always going to be difficult to accomplish. Public nudity is especially broad and emotionally charged. And the bridge from where we are to normalization is fairly long.

Doing hard things over long periods of time to be logically accommodating to lifestyles we don't really have much interest in ourselves is a bit of a stretch for our current society.

Hell, we can barely do things most people agree should be done right now.

Keepitsimple · 51-55, F

I’d rather watch a dog take a shit

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@Keepitsimple you make me laugh 😂

Keepitsimple · 51-55, F

@iamonfire696 I can’t help myself. If I think if I type it out. I have no shame 😛

GirlPower · 26-30, F

@Keepitsimple Ew. I turn away from dogs doing that.

Grateful4you · M

I went to a nude beach once and it almost made me go straight. Not pretty at all.

SubstantialKick · 31-35, M

Well, unless it's a nude beach or camp, it would be considered indecent exposure.

Nudistsue26 · 31-35, F

I personally think most if any would not go nude. Some states have laws that allow women to go topless and you don't here of any doing it.

DunningKruger · 61-69, M

There are eight million stories in the public newdity.

GirlPower · 26-30, F

@DunningKruger Is that part of the show? It sounds vaguely familiar.

DunningKruger · 61-69, M

@GirlPower "There are eight million stories in the Naked City. This has been one of them."

Nudistsue26 · 31-35, F

Seems there is a 50/50 consensus here. I myself would embrace it.

SW-User

Doesn’t have to be commonplace but it would be nice if it were legal.

GirlPower · 26-30, F

I have to admit that I have mixed feelings on public nudity. I'd never expose myself on purpose to random strangers, and I dread the thought of seeing absolutely everyone nude. Yet I enjoy sneakily getting away with as much public nudity as possible. I've also been witness to hundreds of party goers fornicating. Not for the shy.

adorbz · 26-30, F

don't be creepy and I dont care

natureboy3 · 18-21, M

Nudity itself isn't inherently sexual, I myself would be fine with public nudity but I'd imagine its a 50/50 split with the general public

DragonFruit · 61-69, M

I don't mind it as long as you have designated areas set aside and that there's no lewd activity. Simple nudity is not a problem as far as I'm concerned.

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

There's time and place. Beaches are okay, private resorts are okay, public streets not so much. Restaurants, bars - not okay at all.

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

Not as sexy as you would think :P

bijouxbroussard · F

@JimboSaturn Indeed. The folks who participate are [b]never[/b] swimsuit models. 🤭

braveheart21 · 61-69, M

Yes please... Anywhere everywhere always

Virgo79 · 61-69, M

Ah in the right place, alls good

likesnatural · 70-79, M

It has its places.

SW-User

It’s just not necessary

butchd823 · 61-69, M

I would love it

cycleman · 61-69, M

in ways I'm thankful it isn't around, but then if we all openly see each other, not much imagination is required to see if things would work between the two[i](or three).[/i]

would there less value for porno stuff?

Mindfulness

Go for it, it's quite liberating as long as it's for the right reasons and in the correct context.
Chasing women down the street with an erection is probably going to be frowned upon.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

It is not a terrible thing. For those comfortable being nude it is fun for those who are comfortable being around nude people it is not a big deal.

Magenta · F

No thank you. Keep it private or in an appropriate place. I don't care to be traumatized or have my stomach turned. 😄

BigBulge · 41-45, M

It should be legal, except in places of business, unless you work there.

GirlPower · 26-30, F

@BigBulge Women can go topless in Canada.

Tracos · 51-55, M

pretty sure it would be too cold for most people to enjoy it

SW-User

I've been to nude beaches and camp grounds..
That's public .

SW-User

Have never personally witnessed any

vetguy1991 · 51-55, M

Well its not something I would do myself

ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M

That it is discussed surprisingly often on SW 🤔

acpguy · C

Best way to be until it gets below 70

GirlPower · 26-30, F

@acpguy I'd say 60 F is the limit for me. I had to convert from C.

JonLosAngeles66 · M

I love that show!

GirlPower · 26-30, F

@JonLosAngeles66 I've never seen it. Is it from the 1960's?

JonLosAngeles66 · M

@GirlPower yes. It’s really the police drama that set the template for the modern shows now. Incredibly well written. Great acting and featured guest stars like Dustin Hoffman, Robert Duvall, Alan Alda and Robert Redford.
