    Are you really quoting my - possibly hungover - posts from nearly a year ago and expecting me to remember WTF I was on about?

    If that's not bad enough, I was about to call the OP a weirdo!

    Swimming naked in a freezing, sewage infested sea, usually with alcohol on board, has to be the most stupid thing a person can do...

    What has this got to do with skinny dipping?

    Try it in the Mediterranean. Absolute pleasure, nothing better.

    The one time I tried it was in Barleycove in Cork and once we stepped into the water... Bioluminescent plankton!
    The water was glowing a bright green all around us and there was a large patch of it in the distance, it was incredibly beautiful.

    I'd imagine in the daytime it'd be fairly crap unless surrounded by beautiful people. Then the shame would kick in and you'd walk out to sea.

    Poor Grindle, you could just be the beautiful person yourself. Personally I think the pleasure is best enjoyed with no or very few witnesses. A deserted beach in the sunshine if possible is the ideal location.

    I'm more of a chunky dipper than a skinny dipper myself, but it doesn't have the same ring to it. :D

    has this thread died because winter is back today in Ireland and shedding our kit is the last thing on our minds?

    Its just normal in Finland. Everybody does it but normally in private context at lakeside cottages. And with sauna.

    I once saw a lass take a dip in a lake in the woods in her knickers. Her male pal (I got the feeling he wasn't a boyfriend) sat on the bank. Neither of them cared for my approach. I just thought fair play to her. How much of the sexualisation of the female upper body is just a social construct anyway?

    I've never tried it. I should probably learn how to swim first.

    Very wise words. Yes, it is great to swim naked in the ocean! Happily enough, there are loads of Irish beaches to do so.

    Gormanston -- have heard about it on social media but never been

    Barna & Trawalua -- haven't been to many places west of the Shannon, prefer to stay on decent soil

    Gormanston is fantastic for non swimmers because of its shallowness, which also accounts for higher water temperature. Also exceptional because the sunshine can last the whole day in contrast with White Rock, for example, with Killiney Hill shade behind.

    So Gormanston (actually it is Knocknagin, the very south end) is a favourite with us as an after-work meetup option, and besides it is relatively close from the car to the nudist area. We only discovered Knocknagin this year (as a group), but we intend to build and strengthen a naturist tradition there, it is extremely suitable for naturism. I want to push our Wednesday afternoon/evening gatherings there in spring+summer.

    Trawalua is worth a visit for its super strong naturist tradition. People tell me you can easily see 60 naturists there at a time on a fine day. Barna is different, not so appealing objectively because it only amounts to some rocks and people hiding there from the main beach. We have some videos on the beaches in our Youtube channel, by the way. We don't have Knocknagin yet, I will work on that this year.
