Skinny Dipping - Have you or more importantly would you?

This is something I’ve always wanted to do
I see it as a really spontaneous and freeing thing to do (to me anyway) especially over here seeing as its pure madness because of the weather and temperature of the water
Talk about begging for pneumonia

But I know one day its something I will muster the courage to do…maybe when I’m away somewhere exotic(secluded) and really warm!
I remember when I was 17 and away in Crete with my mates we seen a couple starker’s in the sea in the early hours of the morning and we thought it was hilarious though
Have any of you ever done it? If so were you caught by onlookers?
Would you ever ?

Yeah I see it like that something to do before I'm 30 or something along that lines,
You know the way people make up silly lists of achievments, tasks or personal goals to do before a certain time in their life... Well I'm going away in a few weeks maybe then

petes

Nope and wouldn't. Can't swim anyway.

Dr Pepper

Just did it Monday (coincidentaly) Apologies to anyone in the L. Derravaragh area
V nice! Feels very natural and liberating

DaBreno

Have tried it in Ireland, reckon it would make a good torture method. The water here is generally freezing. Deffo one for a warmer climate.

True

joker77

Don't see what the big deal is - it's late at night in a hot country, you + gf / mates / whoever want to go for a swim, makes sense not to have to walk home in wet clothes! Purely practical! (yes I have done it)

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Absolutely! Go for it! Just make sure you find an isolated enough place. I'd recommend lakes rther than the sea as they tend to be slightly warmer. Exactly hoe much warmth does a swimsuit actually provide when you think about it abyway....?

Surely no one would think anything of it in this day and age? We're supposed to be a modern European country, for fecks sake!

Sengoku79

Yes, in Cuba, around 3am was brill, water lovely and warm.

Archeron

Just to wreck the whole happy buzz of this thread....

Is it generally considered safe to randomly go skinny dipping in Ireland? Keeping in mind the tragic death by drowning of those three people last weekend, that would make me think twice before diving straight in with reckless abandon.

Dave!

haven't done it, but would do it. maybe i will this summer

Again: what protection would a swimsuit have provided...? Their are safety issues with swimming outdoors, obviously, but if you don't drink and don't go out too far, you should be ok...

skywalker

Did it once when I was extremely drunk. There was a few of us drunk by a lake and the subject of skinny dipping came up and a few of us were throwing around drunken dares. Next thing the white arse of a gf's mate streaked by us so we all went for it. Twas funny.

It was in Ireland but I dont really remember the water being particularly cold but we were all well lubricated.

DaBreno

We should arrange a trip to Frankfurt. Just after seeing on the TV its legal to walk around naked. Sounds like they wouldnt mind if we hit the local fountain.

Emmo

No im too fat.

Fat people aint nice to look at nakid!

Id love to do it but would have to be somewhere nicer then Ireland. Plus Ive nearly died whilst arsing around drunk on beaches before so should have at least learnt something from falling on rocks looking for a fag that was happily buring behind my ear on rosslare strand one 4am morning.

Id be terrified of someone robbin me clothes as well. Imagine the walk back to your gaff naked and salty?

Sore.

The Gnome

Did it in Lanzarote and nearly died.

It was at night on a small secluded beach. I went behind a large rock formation to change while my GF waited on the other side. Unfortunatly my shorts slipped and started to drift off, as I tried in vain to grab them I slipped on that seaweed that cover the rocks and nearly smashed my head open.

I spent 15 minutes trying to climb back up on the rock and call my girl who was out of ear shot. Eventually I made it back up and went skinny dipping. I aslo had to hide in the water while my GF went back to fetch clothes for me.

Fun was had all the same and my short eventually washed back in the next day. I have them framed at home as my "Death Shorts."

chakotha

Have done it away a few times and several here. It's fun and natural and different swimming at night time and beats walking the rest of the way home with soaking wet clothes. A friend had her clothes taken by the incoming tide once - classic - we all had to contribute an item of clothing

The water temparature is fairly painless if we'd been out beforehand but I always say don't go beyond waist deep after a night out in case of cramp.

biko

Done it lots of times. Nothing like it!

Kinetic^

I would but I'm too afraid of getting harpooned by the whale fishermen:)

Why, Are you a whale?

Gone West

yeah.
whats the big deal though?

Southern Man

Did the neked swimming thing in the warm waters of the Caribbean.
Mid afternoon, some people on the beach, went in for a swim with the GF.
Once in the water, off with the speedos and tally-ho!
Easy enough to swim with your togs in your hand, then throw em back on and walk back up the beach. Very liberating and kinda naughty

fuzzywiggle

Yeah would like to alright! Say it would be a good laugh!

Fanny Cradock

not in the cold irish waters.

my willy is small enough as it is.

or is it....?

lawhec

The one thing that would put me off is that there was someone who lived very near to me who drowned last year going for such a swim in a lake last year in Fermanagh. Would always stick in the back of your mind.

Agamemnon

Done it a few times, usually when drunk after a club. Once, we went for a walk, still naked, to get to another part of the beach and a Garda car pulled up alongside us. The rest of the group left me to do the talking. The Guard was still in the car so he was essentially having a conversation with my dick. They wanted to take our names but they eventually burst out laughing and told us to get dressed and go home. I still get a giggle from imagining the 2 Gaurds driving along on patrol only to be confronted by the sight of our white arses swaying in the moonlight.

Me likes to go skinny dipping in the river....feels good:)

I was going to comment on the fact that 44 people have voted and no one's said they got caught - either no one gives a damn or we're very carefully. I think this explains the reason!

Would you ever ?

have you considered getting a coolsmileyforum, and more importantly,, would you?

Rovi

No, and if I was going to, it'd have to be in one of these-

^^Exactly. I've done it while away on holidays. I wouldn't even think about it over here though, far too cold.

dermo88

I've done it in the Caribbean (Antigua), in 2000 on Lashings beach. Never dared do it here in Malaysia (not yet). Never in Ireland (too cold)

The Real B-man

Depends who with tbh

dubtom

I've done it in a private villa in malaga, but only because she was drunk and insisted. Do you remember the scene in Jaws where someone saw a fin and there was a massive scramble to get out of the water, well thats what would happen if I did it in public. I would hazard a guess that someone would have a shotgun aswell.:D

Tar.Aldarion

Aye on holiday, don't particularily want to do it again, definitely not ever in Ireland. Brr and such.

growler

quite a few times over the years, mostly in Ireland, bit of a laugh on a summer's night and as long as some fecker doesn't happen to stumble across your clothes and decide to hide them while you're in you're grand.

Going swimming in your underwear as an alterrnative is daft, you then have to shuffle home with a wet arse:eek:

iFight

Never and will never (unless dares come into play, wont turn down a dare;) )

Yes, but in my own private pool.

Ok, so it was an inflatable paddling pool.

Ok, so I was 3 years old. I was young and reckless and off my head on Ribena and Sunny D.

Lakes are also materially less dense (waemer and no salt) and provide lower bouyancy, hence the number of lake / river drownings.

Exactly hoe much warmth does a swimsuit actually provide when you think about it abyway....?

But it wouldn't be skinny dipping then.

Selik

Once in a golf course in Wicklow in the middle of the night...

Pished of course!

ArphaRima

Pissed on a beach in Vietnam 20 feet from the bar/nightclub I was drinking in. Damn naughty English girl. I said hello, and 30 seconds later I was naked in the sea!
