More Naked Outdoors
I was able to spend a few hours again on Friday at The Woods, naked, of course, the entire time. I didn't arrive until almost 4 PM, though, and campers were beginning to arrive for the weekend. There were a lot of people there -- more than I've ever seen there before, in fact -- and not just guys! There were at least two lesbian couples there, also (not nude, though, unfortunately). It was the first time I ever saw women there.
Despite it being a very warm day, less than half the guys were completely naked. I've been puzzled about that (as I've noted in previous posts) from the first day I visited there last year. I'm naked from the moment I get out of my car until I have to get back in my car to leave -- and not, obviously, because i have anything worth showing off -- I just love being sans clothing. But some guys keep their shorts on all the time, even in the pool. It's hard for me to understand because I love being naked so much, it seems like everyone would want to be naked when they have the opportunity ... LOL ... but obviously that's not the case. I speculated here before that it might be because they were partnered, and their partner didn't want them "advertising" as it were. That may be the case in some instances, but it may be a little simpler than that. I had a conversation with a new friend there (who, like me, is naked from the moment he gets there) about this very subject, and he thinks it's just plain old shyness, the way most people are about taking their clothes off in front of others. It has nothing to do with being partnered or not, and nothing to do with having a great body or not -- they're just afraid to take their clothes off with others around, especially outdoors and in "public." I suspect he may be right.
Most of the guys at The Woods are gay or bisexual. I always had the idea that if you were gay or bi, you also loved being naked even around others. Obviously that's a misconception on my part. Nudity is certainly much more common in the gay/bi world, but it's not a given.
One nice side effect of some of the guys remaining dressed, at least for me, is that it heightens the sense of nakedness for those of us who are nude. If you're a little exhibitionistic, that's a nice feeling! But my first choice would be for everyone to be nude. I think that would increase the comfort level for everyone, too -- at least for those of us who love being naked!
