> [@](#): > > \*\* > Do you get burnt when you fry bacon ? > \*\* Yeah… I’ve lived and learned. I wear clothes when frying bacon now. > [@](#): > > \*\* > Do you have blinds on your windows ? > > Do you get ay problems from neighbours ? > > When somebody you don’t know comes to your door do you put a robe on ? \*\* Yeah, I don’t wag it in front of open windows. And I generally check the peephole first. If it’s someone I don’t know, I put stuff on. I am not a confrontational nudist after all. > [@](#): > > \*\* > Do you drive in the nude? > > If so, do you at least wear shoes? > > Ever have any trouble in public (e.g. nude beaches) with erections and such? > \*\* No, I have not as yet driven in the nude. Although the idea somewhat intrigues me. I’ve had a couple erections at nude beaches… I generally just lie down on my stomach, and said erection usually goes away soon thereafter. > [@](#): > > \*\* > What is your average wardrobe budget? > \*\* Hrm… I can’t come up with a specific dollar figure, but I’m as much a clothes horse as anyone else. And the fact that I make a decent income leads to too many 100-dollar shirt purchases. Believe me, I do appreciate clothes. I guess the only saving I realize comes from more infrequent clothes-washings. > [@](#): > > \*\* > What is your average wardrobe budget? > \*\* > [@](#): > > \*\* > Do you dingle or do you dangle? > \*\* Ask the Hindenburgh announcer guy. > [@](#): > > \*\* > Umm…Los Gatos is only about 10 miles away…is there any chance we’ll be friends? > \*\* Probably not, but possibly, where do you live, exactly? > [@](#): > > \*\* > When friends come over, I am naked. > > * * * > > How fast do they leave ? > \*\* They don’t seem to care. > [@](#): > > \*\* > > Since I’m in Willow Glen, I think I have to see this for myself. What’s your address? > > \*\* My crappy hairdresser is in willow glen. Anyway, if you’re interested in visiting, [http://www.lupin.com](http://www.lupin.com) is the place to check out. > [@](#): > > \*\* > > Do you live in a house with a yard? If so, do you do your yard work in the nude? And can neighbors or passersby see into your yard? > > \*\* Yes, I live in a house with a yard. I don’t do yard work. I hate it and refuse to engage in it. I pay a gardener to do it. No, I don’t run out flapping away in front of neighbors. > [@](#): > > \*\* > Are you male or female? If female, aren’t you prone to infections? If male, aren’t you vulnerable to…collisions…with furniture and such? In either case, don’t you ever get cold? > > \*\* I am male. I’ve never had a serious collision… nudists seem to love volleyball, but i am generally into tennis… never had a problem with it. I’m a fair-weather nudist. I wear clothes most of the time, but in summer I rarely wear any. > [@](#): > > \*\* > > Where do you carry your wallet and keys? > > \*\* In a duffel bag, most of the time. When visiting beaches, I usually throw my clothes in the car, and my wallet for that matter… then put a towel, book, keys, and whatever in the duffel bag. Same goes for the nudist club, I guess. Some nudists wear keys on a chain around their necks… but I just use a duffel bag. > [@](#): > > \*\* > Assuming you’re male… > > Do you ever get erections at inopportune times? If so, do you have a pre-scripted list of comments to go along e.g. “Hey, nice sweater…”)? Does seeing nude women all the time make intimate moments “less special”? Do you keep your penis all waxed up and shiny to impress the ladies? > \*\* On rare occasions, yeah, I get erections. It’s generally not a sexual thing, so, this is not a common occurance. Of course I am 30 now, and it doesn’t happen as much as it did when i was 15. But generally no, I don’t get erections, and when i do, diving into a cold pool or flipping over onto my stomach suffices. As far as seeing nude people all the time, intimate moments are not less special for me, as a hundred nude people dont particularly phase me, whereas sex with a person i care about does get me going… > [@](#): > > \*\* > Assuming you’re male… > > Hmm…mebbe the name of this thread should be “ask the nudist (even tho you won’t get an answer!)” > > I, too, like baring buns, but mostly just in the back yard. Mrs. ricepad and I have gone to some nude beaches, but we can’t seem to get the nerve to hit any clubs/resorts, even tho there’s one not too far away. In fact, I think proximity works against us, because we’re too afraid we’d see somebody we know there. > > So the question, then, is…have you run into an outside acquaintance while at a club? If so, was it awkward, and how did you deal with it? > \*\* Oh hush, I don’t spend every waking hour at work at [straightdope.com](http://straightdope.com)🙂 well, maybe sometimes… but anyway. Go to a club, ricepad, altho it’s been my experience that most clubs are crappy,. What area do you live in? And I have seen one or two people I know at my nudist club. it’s king of embarrassing at first, but really… they’re hanging out for all the world to see as well. There’s nothing wrong with it, and they too are doing the same exact thing. I just said “hi” and babbled about whatever mundane things we had in common, and that was the end of it. ---

The club looks really nice, maybe I’ll trip on out to it one of these days when I’m feeling particularly good about my body 🙂 -Sam ---

Dear Nudist guy, You don’t, by any chance, eat Carls Jr. burgers while in the nude do you? ::Ducks and runs:: -Sam ---
