Skinny-dipping with a bunch of pals. Who has?

I haven't YET, but I would have if the occasion had arisen. I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Water's cold enough with a cozzy!

Not in the tropics.

Nope - but I have been a nude model for a group of artists - men and women. I was 45 at the time!

Butty how brave of you. My friend is a member of a local art group and last year they invited their first nude model to pose for some sessions. She said they were quite nervous about how to behave, but the tutor was very matter of fact and enabling to both model and art group, and they all enjoyed chatting over a pint in the local pub afterwards.

No but I would like too....but it would have to be in the dark,I am passed my sell by date

I haven't but I would if the occasion arose... not likely though I don't think I have friends that would join me, maybe I should start asking lol My OH certainly wouldn't, he thought the water in the local pool was icy and stayed in all of 3 mins , in fact never even got his shoulders wet..

Maybe his shoulders weren't the problem tanith

I might have - but I can't remember if I did!

I have not been skinny dipping but I did go in a sweat lodge. Mixed genders, no clothes and definitely not sexual.

Yes, in my late 40s, a balmy evening in the south of France with the pool lights on. No naughties though we were with other people

glitabo have been in a mixed sauna but I didn't have my glasses on so It didn't count

Only in the Indian Ocean and not with a large group - just the then OH. A crowd of us (not entirely sober) invaded the swimming pool of a posh hotel, late at night but we kept (some of) our underwear on which was just as well because we were chased out.

when Yes, I thought I was brave, too! I did it out of my locality - up in Yorkshire. A friend held a week's summer drawing classes, and asked if I would model. It was exhausting, but fascinating and I still have some signed originals. I also discovered big G&T's at that time - perfect after a hard day's work!

I can't even stand the thought of looking at my own body, let alone anyone else seeing it [memories of school showers ]. Added to which..I CAN'T SWIM!

Yep! But when I was in my teens. Sense of freedom but not sexual. Also bathed nude in Japan - the only Westerner in the Ladies section. I could see the Japanese ladies taking surreptitious looks to see if I was the same as they were. The men were separated by a hedge. The water was jolly hot. Apparently the Japanese can take more heat than Western people but on the other hand, they can't hold their liquor very well at all. An interesting experience!

Yes - I swam in the med with some friends in my teens. We had visited a nudist island. Bit of a let down really as I didn't have my glasses with me and most of the people were middle-aged - wandering around clutching their handbags or sitting in deckchairs knitting!

Slightly ashamed to admit that my only adventure in this department, during which I kept my knickers on, was a solitary swim in a very cold tarn in near Wastwater in the scorching heat of the summer of 1976.
I nearly got hypothermia as I had to submerge myself for several minutes as a large group of jolly hikers passed by.
The water temperature of tarns doesn't vary much over the year[shiver]

Forgot that myself & DH have sunbathed nude. We didn't realise it was a nudist beach until we were there, it wasn't busy and it seemed daft not to.

Some years back I went up to the women's club Sanctuary in Covent Garden where some women swim in the nude. I swam in the nude. I've also been in a sauna in the nude with a mixed sex group but I knew them all quite well though they were friends not family.

I'd probably swim in the nude now if the occasion arose but I'd rather it was in the morning before my stomach bloated right out.

Swam naked in Goa,Lanzarote and Devon.I love the freedom feeling.
At 'Relaxation Centre' in Bristol which has an outdoor hot tub,a jacuzzi ,sauna and steam room etc.one day a week is 'women only' and swimsuits are optional.

Who actually cares?

Well, the parents who objected at the swimming pool, for a start.
