Oh, that thread. Yes, so wonderful ... the only people who should be naked are the pretty people. But it begs the question, who is going to do the hours of really bad retouching to make people look like the misshapen mannequins in the throw-away grocery store magazines?Schtev wrote:Just...wow.FIGJAM wrote:This was just too much fun to be forgotten!![]()

There are a few dudes here who have their own swinging man-utters as well.Elliot wrote:Just in case I did not express myself clearly: I back you 100%. NOBODY tells anybody how to dress (or not dress). I might joke about it, since I go naked a lot myself, but it would be entirely in a friendly / tongue-in-cheek / you-may-notice-it-is-myself-I'm-making-fun-of / I-think-you-know-me-better-than-to-take-me-seriously spirit.Kairielise wrote:But one thing that does irk me, is the suggestion or implication that if I choose not to be naked in public, BM or default, that I'm somehow not expressing myself to the fullest/limiting my freedom/conforming to the norm/afraid of others judging me/embarrassed/ashamed of my body/a prude.
Come to think of it... we have a running gag here on ePlaya: Sometimes we tell somebody "Show us your tits". That's a somewhat self-deprecating joke. It is a reminder that some men on this planet are actually so crude as to say that and mean it, which reflects poorly on all men. So we feel that here on ePlaya we all know each other well enough (or soon will) to make such a joke in the knowledge, or at least expectation, that nobody will take offense.
In fact, if I ever say "show us your tits" to a lady on ePlaya, it would constitute a statement of respect.
20 ePlayans will now pick this apart, but that's how I feel and interpret it.
I knew what Elliot really meant, so fixed that for ya.Elliot wrote:![]()
Charlie Parker, it is utterances like that which give plain sun-loving nudity a bad name. Please take that stuff to one of the CAMEL tents.

My only issue with nudity is where one puts their nether parts. Some guy got real pissed at me last year when I asked him to put something down before he sat on our piano bench. I thought that was common courtesy.Elliot wrote:Good sentiment.tatonka wrote:the beauty of nudity in public isnt their bodies , to me its their free spirit that has no concern what others think , thats whats beautiful .
That said, I am concerned not to offend anybody too awfully. But do I feel a need to keep secret what Mother Nature "dressed me in"? Not at all.
