that's my point

i tell ya - it was like a back hair convention a waxer could have made a fortune on referrals but nice people...

Do you think it's the hairy people who think they don't need other clothes?

Sounds like a day at the beach in southern CA

i suppose all that hair would make a person warm so forgoing clothes would be a lot cooler

the one i had gone to - years and years and years ago - wouldn't allow in single men - because single men can't control their impulses or something but honestly looking around at all the saggy boobs, saggy butts, and flabby thighs (and that was just what i saw when i looked it the mirror and every person looked like that -inclulding the menfolk - only they had backhair too... i'm not sure what would be a turn on about that

maybe instead of a turn on zone, it's a comfort zone.

back when i first started losing weight - i went to a water park - 5K people walking around in bathing suits - 2 were perfect

the rest, not so much

Who's to say what "perfect" is?

Good morning.

I thik i'm an authority on pretty darn close to perfection

Good Morning You,

And absolutely, perfect is in the eye of the beholder - what I meant, was of the thousands of people I saw that day, I took comfort in knowing that precious few of them looked like what I would expect from a magazine, one was an absolute model woman and one was a guy who looked a little like you

The rest were just like me, some in better shape, some in worse. It worked as a great reminder to me to not hide behind my weight (I SO did not want to go to an amusement park and walk around in a bathing suit), that even people in much better shape then I still had areas of their body they could work on, and that people who were in much worse shape then I could still be out there doing their thing.

It was a very motivating, inspiring day.

swimming naked in the ocean is great. so liberating. makes ya feel like a little kid out there in the waves.

okay...maybe that was TMI....

beth

Oh, I've done *that* bethann - but never in day light

after seeing the movie jaws - no way would i ever do that again hotel swimming pools after they're closed are fair game though

You just jogged my memory, bethann. I've spent such a long time going to the beaches that suit dogs or kids or dogs and kids ... I forgot we have a nude beach here.

At least it would save that enormous buying-a-bathing suit issue.

Ooops. I just brought this conversation back to the beginning didn't I? Sorry.

LOL!! SURE you are!
