I wouldn't care about anyone else, I suppose those people who have an issue must get that same illogical pang of discomfort when they see someone naked I as do getting naked in the gym changing room.

naughtysmurf wrote: » Agree with you there, it's ridiculous, was on a spa break with the missus in Ireland a few months ago, was in the sauna with a towel around my waist, nothing under it, I just open up the towel keeping an eye on the door, lady a bit older approached and came in so I just covered up, another younger couple in their twenties came in, she was wearing a swimsuit & unbelievably he was wearing shorts that streatched below his knees, didn't know whether to laugh or cry

It makes no difference to me, it's just ridiculous, peek & fiddle, how old are you, 12? Kids generally dont give a flying ****, its only that we have through our lives become accustumed to nudity being an oddity.

naughtysmurf wrote: » When I was a kid, on the odd nice sunny day, it wouldn't have been unusual for one of those small inflatable swimming pools to be filled with water & my cousins and I would have had great fun in it, with no clothes, for super excitement, the hose pipe or garden sprinklers would have been turned on, I've done it with my own kids, nieces & nephews also, all aged 3,4,5ish, I wouldn't think that was too unusual, maybe it is. Something happens then, it's all cover yourself up etc, I've been guilty of it myself Years ago we were on holiday in Majorca, family resort, I'm an early riser so 7am I'd be on the balcony overlooking the pool & Med, having a coffee. There was a German lady & her teenage daughter swimming, seriously swimming, length after length, they got out & two my surprise, swimsuits came off, they dried themselves, got dressed & headed off, the same teenage girl during the day would get out of the pool, whip off the wet bikini & put on a dry one in a matter of seconds The same summer we were on the beach in Ballybunion, sunny day but breezy, Irish teenage girl was having huge difficulty getting out of her swim suit because she couldn't get undressed, hold the towel covering her & it was flapping in the breeze, she was shrieking with embarrassment & her sister & mother were laughing hysterically & eventually stood up to hold the towel around her so she could get dressed, half the beach was looking at her in amusement, suppose it's another small example of cultural attitudes towards nudity
its just people doing what they would do in any other beach in the world.....including barbecuing without any aprons.

kupus wrote: » nope its actually frowned upon. Im a regular to a fkk beach, and its great. NO KIDS. no shouting no screaming. no puke, ****, diapers, trikes, plastic sancastles etc. Just nice and calm. People walking around, swimming around drinking around eating around in a natural environment. If you havent tried an adult only break, I can highly recommend it.
