So, I got into this conversation with some friends on Sunday. One of them had gotten bad sunburn on her back, and one of my other friends said it was just fortunate that it wasn’t on her front. Got me to thinking, what with nude beaches and all, someone must have gotten sunburn in that most sensitive of areas. Is it as terrible horrible as I imagine it would be?
I go tanning sometimes. Never gotten a burn on my hoo-hah or boobs but I did burn my ass a bit last week, didn’t notice until I took a shower. Not a plesant surprise.
When I was in Brazil I was embarrassed by the size of my bathing suit so I had to buy a smaller one. My old one was a two-piece I bought in England and I was wearing way more fabric than anyone on the beach. So I bought a skimpy one and I forgot about the little strips of skin in between the old, big leg holes and cleavage, and the new, skimpy ones. The strips that had never before seen the sun.
So I got a bad stripe of sunburn on each ass cheek and the middle-low part of my chest.
Yes, it hurt.
Two of my TAs hit the tanning salon to “even out” their tans before prom one year. They ended up being out of school for 4 days because “they couldn’t fins any underware that didn’t hurt.” I found out later from their friends that it involved both boobage and hoo-hah-age.
The worst I’ve ever gotten was on the soles of my feet. Debilitating, to say the least.
Peeling nipples are no fun at all. I don’t remember the sunburn itself being especially painful, but the memory of itchy peeling nipples has kept me from ever even considering again going topless outdoors. <shudder>
In April, I got the worst sunburn I’ve had since I was a little girl. Apparently my skin has gotten a little hardier over the years, because there was a span of time where I had a blistering sunburn every summer. Unfortunately, it is not so hardy that it could survive the first truly sunny day of April. Witness the horror of the sunburn.
It was terrible. I was wearing this dress, and as those pictures were taken at the end of a long day, they bear witness to my state. I couldn’t wear a bra for three days, and it wasn’t because my shoulders were burnt. No, the tops of my breasts were absolutely fried because of the cut of my bodice. The first night, I couldn’t wear a shirt. I sat in a bathtub of cold water and sniffled. I think I might have some scarring on the top of one of them.
When the burn finally started to peel, nine days later, I left little trails of dried skin behind me. I felt like a molting snake, fully expecting to find a Miss Purl-shaped skinbeast in bed beside me when I woke up.
I’m still wearing the tan this sunburn left behind, more than two months later.
Aww, now don’t let a little thing like that put you off. I’m sure they have nipple-sunblock.
I have a ton of scarring and freckling on my shoulders, and a perma-tan line horizontally across my chest from a truly horrific sunburn about 15 years ago. The fronts of my thighs were also thoroughly charbroiled, but no scarring there. I think all I did for about three days was sit in the tub of cool water and oatmeal and cry.
I haaaaaaaate that sunburn that I always manage to get on my ass and the top of my thighs, below the bathing suit. I never seem able to avoid it, no matter how much sunblock I put there, and it makes sitting a misery for a couple of days each summer.
As a kid, I got sunburned on all the exposed parts of my body that were exposed . The worst for me then was the backs of the knees…a dose of solar-overcompensation saw me unable to walk for a week!!
More recently (like 30 yrs ago!!) my mum and sister and I were camping in the bush on the banks of a really nice river. We did the nudie thing, and all got a goodly dose of sunburn on our tits. Fuck they hurt, baaaaad.
But I HAVE heard that the VERY worst place to get sunburned is on the soles of the feet. Hasn’t happened to me, but from testimonies of sufferers, it really, REALLY hurts somthing shocking!!
How in the world do you get sun-burnt on the soles of your feet? I’d think the callouses would give you some protection from getting a bad burn. I’m trying to imagine how this could happen - falling asleep on tummy in the sun? I’d die from heat exhaustion long before my feet got burned.
Eyelids.
Not only does it hurt like a son of a bitch, but they will swell up a little.
The worst one I got on my eyelids was actually from a MIG welder. But, you can get one there if you fall asleep, too.
Regular visitor to nude resorts and sun-tanner checking in (and before anyone starts - yes, I know it is very, very bad for you and can lead to premature aging, wrinkles, and skin cancer. I am also an adult and have made the informed decision to live my life this way).
I’ve seen some pretty bad tans at resorts and beaches. They’re usually early in the season or are being suffered by people who have sort of jumped into the deep end of the experience without some thought (“Hmmm…you know, I’ve never been to a nudist resort before and its really is sunny today. There isn’t a cloud in the sky - I bet I could get some nice sun on these pale buns and bits.”) They then join us in our merry-making, enjoying the sun, fun, drinks, jokes, etc. etc. etc all the while cooking. Pretty soon they’ve taken on the color of a lobster. Ouch. You know that’s going to hurt in the not too distant future.
Shoulders, noses, and backs are bad. Shins hurt, too. The tops of feet make wearing shoes really uncomfortable (but the tan does show off nail polish really well). Surprisingly, genitals tend to tan pretty quickly and darkly (I think there’s more natural melanin there for some reason), but I’ve had too much sun there and it isn’t a pleasant feeling.
People who sunbathe nude almost always have little smiley faces of pale skin in the crease where their butt meets the back of their thighs. That’s a tough place to tan.
Nice Dress!
Sorry for the off topic post, but I have an appreciation for good (Medieval and Renaissance) costuming.
I once got sunburn in a very unpleasant place.
Basingstoke.
I’m not going there again.
two summers ago, I still had a decent tan in October from working outside all summer. I was heading down to FL for a week, so I thought I go to the tanning bed to get a little better tan before hitting the Florida beaches.
I had the forethought to cover little brewha with a washcloth. It never occured to me however, that my ass hadn’t see the light of day for about 25 yrs. Sitting was quite uncomfortable for awhile.
You look gorgeous.
I’ve never burned my Daddy bits, but I’m bald and sunburning the ol’ noggin is very annoying.
You know what’s more annoying?
Managing to burn your scalp, despite having a full head of hair.
I’ve done that more than once, since I have a hard time finding hats that fit.
I have shoulder-length hair and have managed to burn the part on the top of my head several times. Yeah, try explaining to your date that you really don’t have dandruff. 
My wife visited St. Barts during the time the movie “10” was in theaters. Several vendors were on the beach putting cornrows in women’s hair ala’ Bo Derek. She said the sunburn of her scalp was one of the most painful she’s ever experienced.
