[QUOTE=nofloyd] “Rare and coveted” glimpses sound nice. But along with that you get this hysteria over a public sighting of nudity that’s ludicrous. Someone appears naked it makes news. I saw a magazine cover that showed a breast in profile with a nursing baby and there were many hysterical letters the next month. [/QUOTE] You’re speaking about the macro level. The media and the reactionaries in society will always freak out over stuff like this, but that doesn’t effect how an individual feels about nudity. I like the thrill of porn and strip clubs, I have to guess that seeing many hundreds of nude sunbathers regularly would have to mellow that personal reaction, nevermind what society thinks, fuck them. I’d be all up for a nude beach as a novelty or a daring adventure in mixed company, but turning it into a lifestyle feels like it would remove the thrill of more illicit or intimate nudity. Of course, I have no body issue problems, shyness or need to break conformity. It sounds like the personal benefits far outweigh the negatives in your case. More power to ya. ---
