Well, you win some, and you lose some, don't you?


When we were honeymooning in Kauai, we ended up at a secluded section of the beach at the north end of the island. Several European tourists were sunbathing. DH insisted that I should take his picture on the beach, and kept positioning himself so that we had some interesting background "scenery".

Later that day, we were at the surf area of the beach. Being non-surfers ourselves (not many waves here in Iowa), we were admiring some of the folks out there riding the waves. A group of guys came up, and started making small talk with DH ("Great sunset! That's a nice wave! Look at that guy go!" etc.) After a while, DH and I glanced down and realized that these guys HAD NOTHING ON!!!!


DH keeps saying we should go back to Kauai sometime . . .

When I was young, probably too young, I went to the beaches of Nice, in France. I couldn't bring myself to "join in".

Yes, I've stumbled upon naked people - go to some outside, all day concerts like the Grateful Dead concert in Englishtown, NJ and you're bound to stumble upon a few, or a Philadelphia Flyer's victory parade where they ride around naked in the back of pickup trucks until someone busts them.

I grew up in the 70's. Streaking was a big deal then, so was skinny dipping.

I WAS AT THAT CONCERT, SAFFRON! LOL LOL LOL LOL

Muddy mess, wasn't it?


I have a Crete story, EROS! LOL! We were on our honeymoon and opted at the last minute for a few days on Crete. DH and a friend he had met on our cruise opted for the beach, the friend's wife and I opted for the pool. Topless women everywhere. DH couldn't get enough! I swear his eyes were bugging out of his head every time he came up (which was extremely RARE) to see how we were doing.


Gotta love the good ole days! LOL LOL LOL

Sooooooooooo, I'm at a Russian resort named Sochi on the Black Sea and decide to wander down to the beach. In the days of Communism, the regimes were quite puritanical and there were no nude beaches per se. However, there were some very LARGE women, >250 lbs, wearing skimpy bikinis .....it's a cultural tradition there.

I sat down next to 2 young couples.........both of the women were topless. I was reading SHOGUN , and after 1/2 hour, one of their boyfriends asked in Russian if I was enjoying the book. I responded in English and explained that I was visiting the USSR on a U.S. Inspection tour of Soviet hospitals. Both women then IMMEDIATELY reached for their towels to cover their breasts . I could just make out their explanation in Russian that they did not wish to be seen topless..............BY AN AMERICAN . Their boyfriends first laughed and then got quite angry with them, but it was clear that the Cold War had caused these women to feel quite uncomfortable around an All-American boy .....

SO, I think it's time for a reflection assignment. What had you hoped to get? Did you get what you wanted? If not, what can you do differently so that NEXT TIME you get what you want?

Ahh, so you've taken to being EROS' conscience, eh, JTB? Well, GOOD LUCK (I have a feeling you're gonna need it . . .)



By the way, shep, nude beaches are HIGHLY OVERRATED, in my opinion. There is a very good reason most of us are not Playboy centerfolds and swimsuit models -- it's because most of us don't look very good naked! Believe me, I've seen plenty of nude bodies (I AM a doctor, remember), and they are nothing to write home about.

Not speaking about anyone here, of course . . .

 

[ILUVDXL]

Geesh! I live a boaring life.

 

[leahannpen]

Weellllll.... okay, I'll fess up... what the heck, I say! I was in Jamaica, and was staying at a racey resort... and decided, why not! So, I joined in on the nude volley-ball, which atleast was played in the pool, so I had a little cover atleast!

Oh well... you only live once! It was fun, and really no big deal. Atleast I can say I tried it. Although I wouldn't go out looking for it these days!

 

[snoopy]

I was a Club Med employee, need I say more?

And I can tell you right now, nude beaches are not all they are cracked up to be. Trust me, the people on nude beaches are not people you want to imagine to be on nude beaches. I seriously had no trouble making "eye contact" on a nude beach, I sure wasn't interested in looking at anything else!

 

[gemmie214]

Hmmmm I guess you can say I have but it was also a very secluded beach and DH and I were the only ones there at the time. I don't think it would have bothered me if other people had showed up. It really didn't seem like that big of a deal.

When I was 12, I went to Barcelona, and the tour guide took us to a clothing optional beach. It isn't that exciting...everyone who might have looked decent naked kept their clothing on. All we saw were old ladies sitting around topless...not the greatest sight in the world...
