Turns out the"beautiful black sand beach" my dad used to surf on when he was stationed in San Diego was the gay nude beach. I found out when I finally visited SD. But my dad isn't a weirdo so I'm sure he didn't care. The waves were pretty choice!!!
There used to be a few clothing optional beaches in the NYC area and I'd go once or twice a summer but afaik, Gunnison Beach in Sandy Hook, NJ is now the only one where it's official permitted. Kind of microcosms of society in general in regards to age, race, gender, etc though less families with children over the years. The most special aspect of it was learning to feel unselfconscious of my nudity by seeing others appear the same way. And swimming/strolling nude feels so free physically.
Not an awards show to my recollection but the white house correspondents dinner. Fired almost as soon as she was booked, some time between Obama's term and Biden's.
Whenever some straight cis asks "Why do *insert under attack group here* get their own *insert location, holiday, month, or food here*", I always assume their parents were related AND didn't love them.
She's talking about people arguing that gay isn't irregular, so calling it a regular beach is ostracizing the gay community. Gay is normal, or regular, and the anybody beach shouldn't be called the regular beach. The name makes it seem like being gay isn't normal. So the opposite of what you're talking about basically.
That response always gets me, because it shows just how little they actually fucking care, since there IS a military appreciation month already, they just never gave a shit, and still don't - military and veterans are just a prop to them, or something to use against others.
I’ve never met someone so vocal about “the veterans” who actually served themselves. It’s performative. If you really care so hard about the military, either join up or vote into office those whose voting record shows substantive support for those who did.
Wife absolutely loves it. It's one of the things about her I just don't get. She brought me with her. I sat under a sun umbrella and read a book the whole time. She knows what I'm like.
No. You don’t. I take good care of my body, but I’ve seen things I can’t unsee. Piercings where there should never be piercings. Proof that the American diet is designed to make you unrecognizable as a human.
You're not gonna like it unless you yourself are a nudist Let me tell you though: going in the ocean nude is AMAZING. You can put clothes on when you get out.
I've thought about going to one in the past, but being on night shifts has made me afraid that even with the strongest sunblock that I'd look like a burnt hotdog in an hour
Take off your clothes and go outside in the yard on a sunny day. Feel the warmth of the sun on your body and that free flowing breeze. That's the general fuss. It's just freeing and relaxing if you aren't self-conscious about being nude. Though at the nude beach people generally won't act weird if they see you. Outside your house they might react strangely or even angrily, even when it is legal, which generally requires no sexual arousal or attempts to arouse.
Don't know about the beach specifically, but in my discussions with an acquaintance who was a "naturist" (the preferred nomenclature a couple decades ago) and an upper level Soc. class WAY back, the whole thing is about NOT making a big deal about being naked. And yeah, the naturists were family-friendly, out camping together even WITH their kids, because the nakedness wasn't a sexual thing. Just "natural." Having gone to a "swing" club once, it was also a matter of comfort just being 'you.'
Which? I wasn't party to the naturists gatherings, so don't know. A friend and co-worker sprung the other on me as a place to grab a drink and told me he'd done it on a lark to see my reaction. (I give off a very staid vibe and appearance.) HE was the one surprised. Just a bunvh of people being comfortable in their own space as far as I was concerned. Played some pool. Some darts. Danced a bit. Chatted with patrons. Nice evening...
There was a clothing optional beach at a resort I went to a few years ago. Not many folks and a couple of topless ladies. Wife was super jazzed to check it out, but the appeal was more that it wasn't crowded.
I went to a resort like 20 years ago. The only people that went top less or nude were 70+ year old you wouldn't want to see anyways. Its not like most people imagine. Not a bunch of 20-30 year old running around nude or topless. Granted as a dude I was in my 20s at the time too. I didnt partake myself. I have vitiligo and still dont like showing people.
I was at Blacks Beach, the nude beach in San Diego, a few years ago. Kinda hard to access because you go down a narrow, treacherous decline down the side of a cliff, but there was definitely some weapons-grade fuss going on.
Just Google "average dumpy sunburned people naked" and save yourself the trip. Or you can do like I do and go see it every other weekend for yourself with your average dumpy sunburned ass.

The reason that They get their own Whatever is so they don't have to put up the kind of people who ask that question.

It's pretty peaceful. People don't stare or judge. Once you start going, it seems a bit lame to go to a beach with clothes.

Quite a few people at the nude beach are in their 70s.

Yeah it’s really not sexual, it’s about being free and natural under the sun, feeling the wind, having no tan lines. The more you shrug the better.
implosion3
Not sexual? U must have been at the regular beach
idkdjsjsjskj
I like the no tan lines thing the most. I hate fooling with my straps at the beach.

Avoiding tan lines is counterproductive

No. But I wish I bring my bidet

They make travel bidets. It’s basically just a squeeze bottle that produces a water jet but it’s better than nothing.

Sunglasses, flip-flops, and a smile only goes so far.

hannahbutnotreally
It's not about being sexy. It's about being naked.
Hrafna55
Exactly. But many people who haven't experienced it think it is about being sexy. Rather than being naked, as you said.
hannahbutnotreally
I think Americans have the tendency to equate nudity and sexuality whereas Europeans generally don't.

Depends upon which particular Europeans, there's a huge disparity between different countries.
