1. Are you kidding? I'd be harpooned.

[debm55]

5. HAHAHAHHAHAH. Thank you Ocelot II

2. When a teenager

Many decades ago….

My teenage girlfriend and I would skinny dip in my parent’s swimming pool
late at night,

we’d sneak into pool at summer nights, by opening the locked squeaky metal gate very slowly,

And the pool was set back a little from the house, maybe only 40 feet,
But it was surrounded by a six foot height privacy fence on three sides,
The ‘entrance to pool was metal gate and fence maybe 20 wide at front towards the house.

[debm55]

6. Thank you for sharing. IrishBubbaLiberal. We used to do that in our backyard and hoped the baby didn't wake up.

[George McGovern]

72. You rascal you -- Thanks for your sneaky memory IrishBubbaLiberal!

[BoRaGard]

3. They used to call me BareButt BoRaGard back in the day

Tips from the top:
Lakes, ponds, and rivers are a barebottom hoot. But there's nothing like returning to the restless seas just as nature made you.

[debm55]

9. Yes. BoRaGard. The ocean is the best.

[walkingman]

4. I did several times at the beach and at "Hippy Hollow" in Austin with

girlfriends. Good memories. Like most young people (and I suspect even today) in the early 70s we were quite rebellious and sexually adventurous.

[debm55]

10. Thank you walkingman. great memories.

[LoisB]

7. Never.

[debm55]

11. Thank you LoisB.

[AllaN01Bear]

8. nope. not.

darn.

[debm55]

12. Thank you very much Allan01Bear.

[RainCaster]

13. We sat in our hot tub this morning

With nothing but a cup of coffee. Enjoyed listening to the birds while we planned our day.

[debm55]

14. That sounds very relaxing. Thank you RainCaster.

[boonecreek]

15. I did in high school.

Went to an all boys school, Lane Tech in Chicago. Swim class was mandatory
and we all swam in the buff. But these days? Trust me, nobody wants to see that.
A few years after I graduated the school went co-ed so they probably went to trunks.

[debm55]

16. Thank you very much, boonecreek. We had coed swimming in my High School. Tha girls had to buy a tank suit--no bra and

the guys wore these skimpy "trunks" that left little to the imagination.

[Basso8vb]

17. No way!

I'd be mistaken for a Humpback for sure!

🐳

[debm55]

18. Thank you Basso8vb.

[True Dough]

19. I figured this would be a thread full of photos!

Just last summer, LuckyCharms and I got together at the beach to let it all hang out. I snapped this shot of him, delicately configured to preserve his modesty. Good times!

[debm55]

20. Hahahahahahahhah. Is that you True Dough????

[True Dough]

21. No it's some random internet hunk!

Enjoy, deb!

[debm55]

22. Thanks True Dough.

[LuckyCharms]

47. You didn't have to use that big furry thing to preserve my modesty.

You could have just used a thimble, or the cap of a tube of Chapstick. Or even a grain of sand would have worked.

Also, I'm questioning why you photoshopped out most of my chest hair, True Dough.

[True Dough]

48. Oh, come on, Lucky!

Don't you remember people pulling up alongside you in their motorhomes mistakenly looking to refill their water tanks with your hose?

As for your chest hair, I photoshopped some out so people could clearly see your face. That's all.

[k_buddy762]

23. Yep. Daily in the summer.

[debm55]

28. Thank you k_buddy.

[lark]

24. It was pretty standard when I was in my teens - mid 30's.

Jax has a lot of marshes, streams and lakes and back in the day there were a lot of spots to swim in and no one else would be there. That was before they allowed all the gators to come back so it was still safe. We skinnydipped in these hidden wooded places often. Later, when I lived in the foothills outside San Jose, CA there was a small lake behind the houses, very secluded, and we skinnydipped there occasionally when it was really hot. I've only gone skinny dipping once in the ocean, it was too cold in northern CA for that and too many people at the beaches in FL. Quit going skinny dipping after we had children and moved back to FL. to help take care of parents.

[debm55]

26. Thank you very much, lark. for sharing your post. I understand about the kids.

[catbyte]

25. Nope. My dad was a cop, lol, and he would've skinned me alive if he caught me doing that.

Even as an adult, the memory of what would happen if I broke the law lingers on. Well, except for speeding.

[debm55]

27. HAHAHAHAHA. thank you catbyte.

[SWBTATTReg]

29. My dad and uncle would go down to the river way, way back then in the later 30s/40s or thereabouts. I wouldn't

go at all, the river is chock full of springs thus the water is literally ice cold...brrrr! Heck, just standing out in the water in my waders, my legs still got cold when I got back to shore eventually.

[debm55]

30. Thank you very much for sharing your memories, SWABTATTReg

[pandr32]

31. I went skinny dipping in Waikiki.

It was late night and I had a companion. Fun!
Now I have a swimming pool and occasionally jump in sans attire. My dogs think it is okay.

[debm55]

32. Thank you very much, for sharing, pandr32. The water must have been warm. We did the same in the Bahamas.

[Norrrm]

33. Admit it.

[debm55]

34. HAHAHAH. I was a much younger then. The place is beautiful. Have a wonderful time with you and your honey. Me, too old.

[CTyankee]

35. Only about 8 years ago I did at dawn at my daugter's house in August. I thought it would be nice.

Daughter was angry. Not because I skinny dipped but because I swam with nobody around in case I needed help. I was in my elder years, ahem. I guess she thought I might have a heart attack or something...

[debm55]

38. Thank you CTyankee. That sounds that your daughter loves you very much. If you feel good tell your daughter that you are

okay. Or ask here to join you. Or take a cell phone to call in case something happens. Best of luck to you. Love, Debbie

[CTyankee]

49. No, not again. I'm too old and don't care that much.

I'll just have my coffee and Cheerios by the pool and savor the morning sun...

[LudwigPastorius]

36. A few times in college...

There were a couple of secluded creeks about a 10 minute drive from campus.

They were coeducational affairs with just a handful of friends, and they frequently included music, poetry, and mind expanding goodies.

[debm55]

39. Thank you LudwigPastorius . Same here at Penn State.

[Archae]

37. Alone. At my parents' summer home after they went out for the evening.

Sure felt good though.

[debm55]

40. Thank you very much, Archae. I agree it is very relaxing.

[flvegan]

41. Many times. Both fresh and salt water.

Natural and man made. Good times.

[debm55]

42. Thank you fivegan. I have also and it is so relaxing.

[Aristus]

43. No. Never.

I’ve always been self-conscious about my body. Even when I was at the peak of physical condition, and had real, actual abs, I never felt comfortable enough about my body to do something like skinny-dipping.

[debm55]

46. Thank you Artistus for your honesty.

[retread]

44. As teen aged boys in a Florida tourist town we would "visit" motel pools for a dip. I think we called it "pool hopping".

When my future wife and I lived in Eureka California, we would go to a place that had cool, deep swimming holes with lots of mud to roll around in.

[debm55]

45. Thank you very much, retread. I think pool hopping is funny.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

50. Yes

Stupidly, in a gross lake, and ended up with a rash in a bad spot.

[debm55]

60. Thank you very much for sharing your story, MorbidButterflyTat.

[ProfessorGAC]

51. Never

I asked my wife & she says "never" too.
Two votes in one reply!

[debm55]

64. Thank you Mr and Mrs. ProfessorGAC,

[wcmagumba]

52. Yup, a few times...

A river that fed the small nearby lake had a swinging bridge and we swam there one time. Went swimming sans clothes at a couple of rock quarries. A friend had an indoor pool and when his parents were out of town we swam there...I'm a badd boy. I also went streaking one time in my little town when running naked was in vogue...

[debm55]

65. HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH. Thank you very much wcmagumba.

[Americanme]

53. Oh yeah

During my first marriage we had many late night skinny dips at our pool, and we went to a nude beach on vacation once. Long time ago.

[debm55]

66. Thank you very much for your response, Americanme. We did the late night skinny dips in our pool too.

[surfered]

54. Taking the 5th on this one.

[debm55]

70. HAHAHHAHAHAHhaha. Thank you surfered.

[no_hypocrisy]

55. I did --- until

my dermatologist read me The Riot Act about my proclivity to skin cancer and my history of melanoma.

[debm55]

67. Yes, I had skin cancer too. But when I swam I was waaaaay younger. I am careful avout being in the sun too long.Even

sunscreen. Thank you no_hypocrisy. Take care of yourself.

[no_hypocrisy]

73. Same here, but let's say my melanomas were like

time-bombs. My dermatologist found it when I came in for something else decades later.

I'm forever in her debt.

I don't even go to the nude beach club on a cloudy day now.

[debm55]

75. Thank you no_hypocrisy. I am glad they caught it early.

[mike_c]

56. younger?

Yes, but I assure you that naked 70 year olds can clear a crowded hot spring out fast, lol.

[debm55]

68. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHH. I'm 70 also. I would never do it know.

[beaglelover]

57. I don't think I did as a teenager or young adult. But I do it now in our private pool all the time, especially with my

husband.

[debm55]

69. Thank you very much, beaglelover.

[LiberalLoner]

58. Once, in my late 20s, in the Sea of Galilee.

[debm55]

71. Thank you very much, LiberalLoner.

[Emile]

59. Of course, didn't everyone 🙄

[debm55]

61. hahahhahhahhahh. Thank you, Emile

[womanofthehills]

62. Lots of warm springs in NM where everyone goes nude

In my 40’s and 50’s our group of 3 couples soaked nude in warm springs around NM. Once we went on a week of camping around NM checking out lots of warm springs. At one site, we hiked in 2 miles to a spring crossing the River many times thinking we would be alone - but when we arrived there were about 50 nude people in the springs. As we all got older - we definitely stopped. . 🙃

[debm55]

63. Thank you for your post, womanofthehills.

[WestMichRad]

74. News flash: You don't need to be young

Just sayin’…

One of life’s pleasures is a jump in the lake when you’ve been backpacking out on the trail for a few hot days. No sense in getting your clothes wet. Yay north woods!

[debm55]

76. Thank you very much, WestMichRad. Sounds great.
