    It's not as common as you would think, there are places that are Nude, Germany in particular with its FKK.

    Did you not go to the big naked party out in Dalkey 2 weeks ago ?

    https://www.facebook.com/events/198457350755854/

    28 went - is there enough space there for 28 people at the same time?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Women- let’s get naked and have a laugh breaking a world record and raise some money for charity while we’re at it.

    Men of boards- YOU LOOK FAT!

    Jesus wept lads.:rolleyes:

    They're raising money for some fat cat earning a fat salary at the top of some charity. I'll hold back on the celebrations if you don't mind.
    it was for
    Aoibheanns pink ribbon , I suggest you look it up before making silly comments

    Friend of mine did it, she’s a stone cold stunner. What’s your point?

    So we should stop all men cos some are perverts? I do get what you are saying but can you not see if you apply that metric across the board, it would look incredibly sexist/racist/prejudicial/anykindof - phobic?

    I was in Wicklow Town on Saturday morning getting the young lad's hair cut and the craic around the place as the ladies headed off for the swim was incredible to see.

    It was like a massive hen party with stretch hummers, open top buses, pink feather boas and bottles of prosecco (for the dutch courage) all heading down the main street at 11 in the am!

    Fair play to all involved as it looked like it was a great day and earned a huge amount for a well deserving charity.

    No, no, you’re wrong there. If you actually look closer and listen to those in the know here in After Hours, it wasn’t about having craic or raising much needed funds for a very worthy cancer charity.

    It’s actually about oppressing men and furthering their FEMINAZI agendas! Because everything is about that if you listen to those voices here.

    Agree the pervert comment is a bit too much.

    But look here, all the lads making sly digs about the women's bodies. Then complaining no men were part of it. It's gas really. Clearly the women must have felt more comfortable without men partaking and hence drawing bigger numbers to break the record and raise money for a good cause.

    Looking at how some of the lads here are ripping into them, no wonder they would feel more comfortable and less paranoid without men taking part.

    At this point your already putting words in my post. If I said "we should..." do something, then I said it. If I didn't, I didn't.

    Well, if we stop the ones who are using phrases like "gelatinous arses" and "uggos" using phrases like this, it would be a start.

    It's a practicality. You can have specifics without being -ist or -phobic. If I specify I want a female model to model female lingerie or bikinis is it sexist? If I say only people over 18 can buy beer, is it discrination?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Hey! Men aren't sexist. Phwoar... TITS! ;)

    To any men who wanted to attend. Just imagine the shrinkage after being in the Irish Sea for 5 minutes :)

    I think this was a great event and well worthy of great praise for the organisers, the participants, the record breaking achievement and for the charitable cause that was intended to benefit.

    However, by the OP posting in After Hours the subject was bound to attract the typically robust and ribald commentary and childish remarks that makes AH what it is.

    For a more meaningful and less snarky discussion, a posting in one of the other areas of Boards would probably have been better places to lodge a thread. That said, by and large the sniggering here was quite mild and less puerile than can often be seen on AH.

    Remember, AH also stands for Aresholes!

    There's a lot of women-only spaces on the continent as well, although mostly within saunas an semi-private locations.

    Question is, if it had been mixed, how many women would decided not to have gone? And how many men would have gone just because it's a chance to perv on some naked women and show them their live dick-pics?




    I'll let Adam deal with that one:


    It's a good point actually but ... the beaches Im talking about are in Spain, not a bother , all mixed spaces and you barely even notice everyone is naked.


    Perverts don't bother going cos the sexuality is taken out of it, it might not sound sensible but it's my experience.

    Not a slag just an observation.

    I'm not saying I'm a looker myself it's just that you'd never see any good looking men/women doing it that's all.

    I could give you GPS coords of a beach near Barcelona where you will see absolute stunners without a stitch on - but you know what ?

    You'll barely notice ...

    You get some (in Germany, anyway) mostly harmelss voyeurs but they don't acrtually annoy anyone.

    Not this weekend. For the first time possibly ever, the Irish sea was incredibly warm. Swimming in it was a dream. A mixed gender event would be awkward for most though. I'm happy they got such a great day for it!

    The attitude of some posters is disappointing but hardly surprising. The actions of CRC and Console, as well as the other large charities who have had no problem remunerating themselves handsomely are entirely too blame for the cynicism directed towards the sector.

    But if there is water and Portlaoise for 2500 people a lot of the charity money gets spent on water and portaloos.

    What are you saying about Portlaoise?

    Great to see. Well done ladies! :) And so what if they weren’t all supermodels? Isnt that rather the point of the event?

    And nude swimming venues and times are now starting to really increase around the country after years of stagnation, the McQuaid era 1935 laws on public nudity have been hugely changed and we will be designating official nude bathing areas/beaches from this summer.

    Yes, Ireland is changing for the better. :) Nude swimming and sunbathing is very liberating.

    Isn't public nudity technically illegal in Ireland?

    Great isn't it ?

    I think a pair of togs is the most stupid idea, you get out, its soaking wet, you lie on the towel - it gets soaked around the tog area .... nude and it just dries of so quickly and you don;t have to carry home a big wet towel and wet togs.

    I hope it does become more acceptable in ireland ...still a bit to go ...

    I wouldn't be a McQuaid fan. Not many are nowadays! :-)
    But do you really Ireland was special in that regard? Do you think that other countries weren't like this? Do you think prudishness was the sole preserve of the RC religion?
    Victorian British had governed us just a few decades beforehand - not exactly known for their liberality in such matters.
    We have a way to go with this yes - but self-loathing is not part of that process I would hope.
