How important is an allover tan to you?

ArishMell · 70-79, M
Though his post shows the "Now left SW" symbol, I reckon NewName summed it all up very well.

I've seen some naturist magazines in which this seems a common letters pages topic - along with the usual male problem - but those moaning about pale or semi-tanned bodies spoiling the decor are answered by fellow-naturists who don't care about extent of tan, except perhaps their own.

Why worry about uniformity of sun-tan? Is yours[i]that[/i] important to anyone else? If so, to whom and why?

If other people think it wrong that your are in two-tone rather than brown all over, that's their problem, as it's them looking at you in the changing-room or on the naturist beach. Unless you intend to show off anyway.

Away from the naturist resorts, I suspect most of the changing-room people who are tanned have pale nether regions (and for the women, breasts too), so why get het up about it? In such situations, I think you're more likely to be noticed and commented on, or about, if you have an all-over tint. Perhaps that's what you want - fine! If you don't, well, it's hardly a serious matter.

So put the paint-sample cards and RAL meters away and remember we are not items on an ISO9001-accredited production-line. We are individuals who enjoy being nude for our own pleasure according to our own needs, wishes and opportunities, not to meet others' imagined norms.



For me - I don't tan deeply but that's as much choice as nature; I'd rather a gentle tint than holiday-brochure brown, I value my skin too much to risk harm - and I am not so vain as to imagine others on the beach might be discreetly surveying my skin colour. If they do, and don't approve... their problem, not mine.

it's very hard for me. I always end up getting aroused as I apply lotion to my penis, and then I have to stroke it to completion. After that I fall asleep. Everything burns in the sun except my penis because I've lathered it up with so much lotion, even a blow torch couldn't brown that sucker.

@Diggler: But surely you provide a wonderful talking point
ArishMell · 70-79, M
Not ever so. We can't all be nude as often as we'd like and it doesn't worry me being a bit pale and patchy on the clothes-optional beach not far from home. At home of course, it doesn't matter at all.

I have occasionally seen naturist magazines and this "you're not a real naturist unless you're tanned all over" business seemed the letters pages' main controversy!

My sack must have the perfect hue.

[c=#7700B2]it isn't important at all to me.. I will stick with my pale skin instead of some artificial colouring lol [/c]

@PlumBerries: Not thinking of artificial colouring but rather the real thing from the sun.

[c=#7700B2]oh well I burn and don't tan at all.. so yeah its still not important to me[/c]

Very important. It would be embarrassing to be a nudist with visible tan lines.
Walter1946 · 80-89, M
@kaf9292: Yes, and the the locker room those tanned bodies with white briefs look so Odd, better to be all over and people know what you do.

I trust you have the correct mirrors available for minute inspection!!

Ugh! I like my chicks pale like moonlight.

@Allelse: I find that some of the pale UK ladies have a pasty unhealthy look!
