Public nudity survey!

Pstarr, you are, of course, correct that that is the regular definition. The catch, of course, is that in practice, no one ever gets to “dip,” instead, the tea-bagging must be done surreptitiously, hence, the “get the passed-out-guy!” tendencies. As you said, though, YBMV.

Until I read this post, I had not realized how boring my testicles’ lives have been.
I need to let them experience life more…

Nude? all over the place. On nude beaches, at friends’ pools & hot tubs, nudist colonies, bath houses, deserted beaches on various continents, in deserts. I love the feeling of no clothing, especially while swimming.

However, I won’t take all my clothes off if I think someone is going to be offended by it. I think that is inconsiderate. I have never bared it all just because I was drunk or high, because I think that is juvenile & silly.

Back in college, there was sort of a tradition that after spring finals, they have coed naked soccer on the library lawn in the wee hours of the morning every night for a week. It usually wasn’t too big a deal, the administration looked the other way, it was just good fun.

But, the year I was there, the administration decided they needed to put a stop to it because it was dangerous and would encourage rape or some ridiculous thing.

So, I don’t really remember the details, but there was a lot of attention paid to the coed naked soccer nights that year, and they weren’t able to stop us from doing it, but they did have campus security and police there taping it, and they identified people from the tape later on and issued public indecency citations, and one guy got arrested for “assaulting an officer” (he touched a policeman’s shoulder and asked him why he was videotaping), and it made the front page of the Des Moines Register.

So, the night I participated, there were maybe 60 of us, buck naked, chasing a soccer ball, with like hundreds of onlookers, even townies came down to the campus to watch. I was one of a very small handful of women who did it, and had the guts to go completely nude. I felt really exposed at first, but as soon as I got used to fact that I was running naked in front of a huge amount of people, it was fun.

I often paddle nude. I don’t like clothes for the most part. The further from civilization, the fewer people I encounter, and of the few I do come across, nudity is relatively common. For example, on this two week paddle on which no other people were encountered, probably about a quarter of our paddling time was nude (clothes often are needed for protection from sun, wind, rain, bugs, and abrasion), and about half our camp time was nude.

I had sex on the top level of an abandoned parking garage once.

I also ran around in a field with my pants around my ankles while extremely drunk once. Didn’t run far.

In a few National forests, but not for a few years now. I especially enjoy being able to hear other people approching, walk 10 steps off the trail so I’m concealed by foliage from the waist down, then smile and nod as they pass by.

Dragging this up again because I just thought of something…

This isn’t “public”, but…when I was 22, I was visting my parents and got some kind of bug. I was sick as a dog, and my mom suggested I get in a cool bath to try to reduce the fever. I didn’t lock the door, just in case I lost consciousness or something, and of course my dad didn’t know I was in there, so he walked in.

He hadn’t seen me naked since I’d been young enough to have to be supervised in the bath, and he did a perfect silent-film doubletake. I was too old to be shy and too sick to be embarrassed, so I looked up and said glibly, “Well, of course they float…what did you expect?”

That’s the caption from a Peter Arno cartoon. Couldn’t find an image of the one I was quoting, but it depicts a man looking into a bathtub with a bewildered expression, while the unseen occupant says that. One of the few times I’ve said the perfect thing with perfect timing.

Well, I’ve previewed twice, and I don’t know why I can’t remove that gap in his first name, nor why the link doesn’t go directly to the search results. The search feature is on the right-hand side, FWIW.
