As far as men’s dangly bits are concerned, what I’ve seen is that they provoke women to laugh hysterically! At least my girlfriend says they’re too funny looking (not just mine, but if she sees one on the Internet too).

I guess I can see why women laugh at that.

There is a naturist beach that I visit regularly. First time I was a little nervous, but it was liberating to strip off. Since then I am comfortable, even in front of those who stroll by wearing clothes. Very few ever stare or pass comment. If the weather were better I would spend hours there.

I have no problem with public nudity, as long as it doesn’t involve my bits being on show. It’s always a good conversation piece.

On another topic though; golf, lawn bowls – and you reckon cricket is boring!?

Cheers,
Steve

errr, no one needs to see me naked, especially with the state that my thighs are in, haha! Who knows, maybe that will change over time once I’ve thoroughly got into the routine of training for and participating in fun runs can’t decide if I should start simple with a 4k one or throw myself into the deep end with an 8k one.

Meanwhile I’m happy to keep my nudity confined to when I’m home alone and in my room

hey cj… and Vin… you KNOW I would have to put my 2 bobs worth in on this.. one of my favorite past times!
Nudity.. once married it just seemed the normal thing to be… have always and am still naked walkin round the house… love to go bush (no that isnt a pun) and swim in my river and much to my daughters horror, still go naked into the back yard. Its my back yard and if the neighbors are disgusted then they shouldnt look! During the course of one of my pregnancies I ‘sat’ naked for a local artist… I love those photos. My body is not the greatest by far… but it is mine and all I have… I love it that people feel comfortable in their own skin…it has taken me YEARS to feel that way… and I still fluctuate with that sometimes. And I am going to go completely against the grain here and say.. males arent so bad naked either! Just as well I dont live in sydney… that would almost be too tempting!

Interesting topic,

I myself have no problem with nudity at all. It’s open, it’s comfy and can feel good, it’s what we are when all stripped down, it’s our natural make-up and even as far as I’m concerned is our beauty! In my view if others have a prob with seeing my body naked, it’s their problem, not mine! They don’t need to look or take notice and can choose to turn the other direction! If I see another person naked minding their own business it’s certainly not gonna bother or offend me whatever their age, shape or fitness level is! It shows character and confidence to me.

Because of the ‘social taboo’ factor and the concern of either getting arrested or offending other people or getting hit on in public when I don’t want to be I refrain from going nude in public. If walking from bathroom to bedroom in my flat, (with a few different nationalities for flatmates) I wrap a towel around me after a shower. If I lived alone I’d walk around home naked a bit! Maybe I’m still a bit too concerned with what others think of me!!!

I’m not worried about lean buff bodies, I just don’t see why nudity seems to offend some people so much when it’s comfy and natural.

Hi Guys,

Ahhh, Vin. I always suspected there was a bit of skulduggery going on in that garden. And poor Eve has had bad press ever since …

You really had a teacher called Sister Mary Francis, Corinne? That is so cool; just like in the movies.

Thanks for sharing, everyone. Now we all know exactly whose garden fences to bother peeking over. We can’t let the cows have all the fun, can we?

Have a great week.

CJ xox

Ps. Em, Tania and Lisa. Poison? Mouthwash? I’ll never tell.

Sue, and again I was not going to keep posting, but no offence to your husband, but without being there surely the parents would have kept an eye out for strange people. I just find jumping to that assumption terrible, not so much your husband, but to society in general.

Cdn I am 150% in agreement with you have had this arguement with the morals police many a time.

I’ll give you an example at random, there was fuss over Brokeback Mountain at a DVD store recently not due to gay things but you see Heath’s bits (whatever) and I have not seen that movie but I pointed out this. There is a movie out called Law Abiding Citizen with Gerard Butler, CJ’s obession or is that some other actor, but anyway in that film people, good and bad, including a child are horribly murdered, one cut up, blown to pieces, buried alive etc.

Now I am not a censor and the context of the film is revenge, people have the right to see that trash and there is value in understanding human motives for revenge, and I’m gulity as I liked the Halloween movies. But to say ohhh look a breast ban it but ok she was sliced in two that’s ok reeks of society’s double standards.

Hi CJ,
I think public nudity remains a social taboo because it can make the clothed onlookers squirm.

There’s a killer confidence I admire in some circumstances, and yet there can be the element of creepy exhibitionism too.

I was the one in life drawing class offering robes to the nude models at break time, but I got over it.
xo
p.s. It’s mouthwash- swish but don’t swallow, right?

I always thought it odd that you could watch a movie where a hundred people get shot up or otherwise killed and no one bats an eye. But if there is any frontal nudity then you better believe it gets rated to the hilt and everyone is shocked.

We are so strange.
