thought for sure that the mods would censor that one - but there are more graphic nude scenes in the National Gallery of Art, isn't there?

Why is it that most nudists are people you don't want to see naked?

Well, judging by the results of this poll, if the nude beach becomes reality, it will be a bunch of men all sittin around naked hoping a woman will eventually walk by.

i'll only say that, if you went to Haulover in Miami (as noted above, a fully legal nude beach), you'd see that both the two preceding posts don't hold up. You'd see plenty of women, alone, with men, and with other women, and no shortage of good-looking, fit people-much better, in my opinion, than what you'd see at an average shopping mall or supermarket around here, for example. There are probably more men than women, but there is a group of gay men, and there's a section where the gay men tend to congregate, so in the "straight" section it's basically 50-50.

and, as for the picture, be honest-is it really so painful, so psychologically shocking, so terribly repulsive and distatsteful, to see a couple of saggy old bottoms? doesn't bother me at all. :-)

A true nudist doesn't go to a nudist area to see naked people. They go to enjoy the freedom that goes along with the nudist lifestyle.

I dont think its illegal to show pubic hair at a public beach. This was at newport beach.
girls these days dont have pubes...

You've obviously never visited a nudist or clothing optional beach.

What I find really amusing at Haulover is how the supposed "beautiful" young bods are usually the ones most reluctant to go nude or even just topless.

Most nudists are accepting of any body type - the goal isn't to be naked to gawk, but to be accepting of one's own body. And most folks there aren't staring. The only "body oriented" conversation I've ever overheard at nudist parks, beaches and resorts is usually related to a really BAD boob job....which is more than I can say for normal beaches. Folks at clothed beaches can be downright mean in their conversations.

Oh for Pete's sake. I was trying to make a joke.

since your name is Johan, I think you're not a Swedish woman. LOL. just kidding.

so, what do you think about the subject at hand, whether there should be at least one fully legal clothing optional beach in the area, such as a relatively small section (400 meters or so, in my mind) at Ft DeSoto Park?

what about running around naked outside in public in general? what are the laws, the social conventions, and actual practices in Sweden, as you know them?
