Naked on the beach

Why is it usually the ugliest bodies that are on full naked view?

Well done Cambia! That’s fantastic!

That made me laugh Gabriella as the same thing happened with my DS when I was sunbathing topless on a secluded beach in Greece! He was about 15mths at the time and crawled over to avail himself of the exposed facilities!

maddy, yes skinny dipping, when I did it just common sense. The boys were in the sea dragging the net in, girls racing along the net on shore with torches looking for the catch. Very hot night, swimming in jeans not appealing so stripped off, swam whilst the boys lit the bonfire. On Rhossilli beach, I can recommend it ?

Coming back from a holiday in the sun some years ago I was discussing sunbathing habits with some friends. I said that although, when younger I had often sunbathed topless, now, after breastfeeding 3 children, those days were over.
‘What size are you now then?’ said a (male) very good friend, ‘36 long?’

My friend and I went to Ibiza years ago. While sitting on the sand i commented that a man emerging from the sea was naked. Lets just say, he had a lot to be proud of! Anyway as we looked around we saw that everyone was naked except us. We had wandered onto the nudest beach. Quite an eye opener.

I've done naked on the beach back in the 70s. Wasn't my thing, so I thought, but as the days went on I thought what the heck and joined in. Totally liberating and very comfortable not having sand trapped in places by bikini tops/bottoms. Also had the best tan I've ever had. Ff to now and I wouldn't impose my naked body on my cat let alone other holidaymakers but it dosn't bother me that some still do even though they are no longer model slim, young and firm. I do wish they would cover up when leaving the beach though. My biggest dislike though is the men (usually german) who strut about in their budgie smugglers even into shops and bars, they do put me off my sangria and look so much better in shorts

GabriellaG, I never thought you could make me laugh but you and MissAdventure had me laughing out loud today.

By the time you get to using gransnet you shouldn't sunbathe much anyway. We went to the Canaries on holiday with daughters aged 13 and 15 and I sunbathed topless. They sat as far away as possible, pretending they were not with me . About 12 years ago I lived in Spain for 2 years and our closest beach was a naturist one. There is no obligation to join but I was happy to do so after an initial feeling or surprise, encountering naked males going for walks along the beach or prom. There is a certain etiquette to using cafes and restaurants by the beach.

You sit on your towel or a wrap for hygiene . Once used to it it doesn't really matter whether the body is less than perfect as I don't think a fat man with tum spilling over the top of his swimsuit looks better than one not wearing the swimming trunks. Suntan is flattering to the larger figure. But also dangerous if overdone. You did also get good-looking bodies of both sexes. Apparently children of naturists grow up with fewer hang-ups about their bodies, presumably because they are used to seeing a variety of them. With everyone naked there is nothing sexual about it.

We were in Minorca a few weeks ago and there was a woman and man complete nude on the beach - to make it worse he was strutting around quite proud of himself standing with his hands on his hips looking pretty pleased with himself. It was a family beach and they were the only ones thank goodness.

Two things here - First, you cant put on a plate one minute that which you want him to think is a real treat, the next. Second. It was the ultimate degradation
of the Nazis to force the Jews in the concentration camps to walk around naked.

So many women are inclined to wear more clothing as they become older thinking they want to cover up because they feel less attractive. Many years ago we both had demanding jobs, we were both on call. We never seemed to have any ‘ME’ time. My female GP said she would not give me anything for stress other than advice. That advice was to join a nude swimming group at our local pool. I was surprised by her suggestion whilst at the same time intrigued by it. I have never looked back. I went along very nervous and ironically stressed about it. I never told anyone I was going. However I have always been greatful for the doctors advise. One of the first persons I saw in the swimming pool changing room was surprise surprise, my GP. Who told me “This is how I get rid of my stress” She was delighted I had taken up her advice. 45 years on and now in my 70s i am now thankfully still in good health and we belong to a naturist all year round club. I have not been on any medication since. I also life model at a art group and have made so many genuine friends. I can only speak as I find and have found the naturist I have met have been friendly open and honest with literally nothing to hide. I think there is nothing sexual being naked, I think the tiny costumes that just about cover the nipples and labia are worn to be sexually saying “ Look at horny me”. In a naturist club no takes any notice of how big or small you are or what you look like because we are all naked.

A sunshine holiday is the best Hotpants. I have just returned fro a USA holiday. We travelled around to different states. What ever you are comfortable in seems to be. I took x2 tankini sets with me. I did see some older ladies in tiny swim wear standing bold and proud.

Thanks for that, bbbface*. I could think of a few suggestions for what all those Bs stand for. Actually, I think a well fitted, supportive costume is far more elegant than flabby body parts flapping around.

No predictions yet on the future of beachwear

You shouldn't worry what you look like, people only glance anyway, it is your insecurities, which we have all got, that makes you think people are staring.
Do what you are comfortable with.

I go in the sea facing away from the beach or people and pull my top down, it is lovely feeling of my boobies floating ??

Annie, think it’s called skinny dipping, but I was never brave enough. I did go topless in my youth, but I had a nice figure then.

Swimsuit for me, my bikini days are over. I cannot imagine that anyone wants to see my fat tum.

* On the beach I wore my elegant swimming costumes as usual.*

Lying on my front sunbathing in mum's garden a few decades ago and with 3 children playing nearby, I heard one of them call out. I turned, sat and stood to see what was the matter. It was mum's milkman at the side gate, wanting to be paid.
He certainly didn't know where to look. I was only topless but, when I picked up my youngest, he, my son, decided to have a drink. I think that put the kibosh on the milkmans his collection round. What was worse was that his brother was mum's postie and he couldn't resist telling her that his brother was still recovering a week later.

Do skinny dip in Crete but only when no one is around. Just done the Big North East Skinny Dip in aid of Mind. This was the North Sea at 6.30am. Very different!!!! Freezing but so exhilarating and 615 other dippers were with me.

Forty years ago, when I had a figure, my first husband persuaded me to go naked on the beach in the South of France. Met a couple from my singing group also in the buff. I still feel embarrassed when I spot them in Tesco. At least I looked ok then. Now I’d look like a whale.

The only plus of going braless for me is that at least it would pull some wrinkles out of my face. I actually laughed out loud at this MissA ???

I find that rather underdressed Nfk

I have gone starkers in the distant past on beaches in Crete and Greece where any swimsuit was overdressing, and have to say I did enjoy skinny dipping. But I never wandered around naked. It was undress on the edge of the sea, in for a dip, and then sit on the edge of the briny until dry. I was never tempted to play beach volley ball as some did.

These days, having acquired rather too much surplus skin and cellulite, I wear short Lycra leggings and a baggy t shirt!
