Nudity in Parks

[imcarthur]

Nude or topless beach? Who cares. It's the beach & you are supposed to expose a bit. Sometimes too much.

Now a nudist resort? My wife - years ago - and I went one time. I dragged her there to get her naked in the sun (the last time this was possible was a deserted island in the Gulf of Panama - long story). It was truly bizarre. Everybody was trying so hard to be 'natural' that it came across as forced.

The hippies I party with each summer don't have a problem with the "natural" part. The Sauna is a wood-fired facility with two saunas and perhaps sixty shower heads or so. A fire pit. Baby grand piano. Et cetera. Really cool. Anyway, there are always a couple hundred nekkid hippies in there. Bathing. Drying off. Sitting or standing and chatting about whatever...... Kids are in there. Amputees. Everybody. It is, truly, a "family" atmosphere.

Majorca, Spanish Island 1976. (32 years ago)

A beach, two blonde tanned beautiful Dutch girls playing beach tennis in white bikini bottoms. Everyone watching or so it seemed - they didnt care.

Two years later a stunning girl swims from the beach in a multi coloured tiny bikini bottom, stands up, faces the beach and smoothes back her hair with two hands. She does this periodically all afternoon - I take a picture (30 years ago)


I posted the picture on Ren**** 4 years ago and got moderated and an email from JD because it had nipples.

I cycled nude once, back in my college days. It was a co-ed group run. It was great as long as I could maintain a position behind a beauty. If a beasty got ahead of me, the proximity of the front sprocket became terrifyingly near, so I never rode nude again.

We drove down the bluff via really crappy twisty dirt road (with my wife screaming) to reach a clothing optional beach near Nerja, Spain 5 years ago. A photographer & his model were the only ones on the beach with clothes. The scenery was quite stunning in more ways than one.

I'll second that

I'm a nudist and love it! There's absolutely nothing sexual about it. Wish it was legal in more places.

Was on my daily hike/jog near work the other day. While talking on the cell phone (to my wife), two 20 somethings come by - topless. It's a fairly steep and winding trail, maybe 90 deg F. out, and I don't think they expected to see anyone. There was nothing they could do - they were carrying some kind of tops, but it was too late. They just grinned and moved on. I told my wife that if I wasn't on the phone I coulda takin a pretty good cell phone pic - oh well!

Randy lives in Eugene...he knows what I mean.

I've joked many times that Eugene should eliminate it's topless is Ok city ordinance in favor of one with a cutoff age of 40.

BTW - nude bike rider in PDX won his case. It was on the news just today. Unfortunately, it was a guy who rode nude. Fortunately, he did it at night.

When I was in college, we'd take the trail on university property down to Black's beach. It's kinda' tough to get to and was pretty much ignored by law enforcement. It's still a clothing optional beach today as far as I know, but I've heard that it's become pedominantly gay.

A nudist in W PA? You must not go out of the house much. When I lived in FL. my band played at a few nudist dances there. Believe me it ain't like Playboy magazine.

Seattle (and Portland) has a long tradition of nude bicyclists at demonstrations and parades. The nude bike riders in the Freemont Parade are widely renouwned and perhaps one of the most featured attractions in that celebration. Apparently, Portland has an annual event at which 1200+ nude bicyclists participate.

So....the parks department is mulling over a proposed ban on nudity in public parks. A hearing is scheduled at which there is expected to be very good attendance. I believe clothes are required at the hearing but you never know......

So, when was the last time you guys had a public nudity ban hearing?

Is nudity obscene? I mean.....lewdness is of course obscene, but is nudity automatically offensive or obscene? I mean.....as long as it's not Byron. Of course.

Let's make a deal. You don't work to ban my semi-auto rifles, and I won't work to ban your nude, whatever.

Just don't expect me to attend, and I won't expect you to come to the range...

Have a yearly streak that occurs here on campus. This year, 10 or so people participated. The cops caught two of them. One decided to fight the charges. Turns out someone actually has to claim injury in order for the lewdness/public nudity charge to stick. As far as I know, the nude girl won the case as no one claimed to have been injured by her naked college body running down the road.

Like I said, nudism has *nothing* to do with sexuality. Even if the redneck population of pennsylvania shouldn't be naked, they should be able to be naked if they choose. Turn away if you don't like it.

Yeah it does. Having sex while clothed is tedious and frustrating.

I thought this was going to be a picture thread.

This one appears to have a stamp of approval.

My wife never wears makeup, and she's beautiful that way.

Thing is, I can't convince her about the topless thing. Its like she got part 1 right, but decided to keep the twins hidden away. The beach here is topless, so it would't even be illegal, and hardly anyone besides tourists would care. Oh well... maybe on my militia farm...

Funny, BITD, I actually did some, well, dancing, of course that was when I looked like this.



But now, well, my attorney told me that I ruined a good picture while at Sebring this year, but it was hot
