"Picture this, we were both butt naked" --Shaggy

So, naked sunbathing on the beach.*

I haven't engaged in naked sunbathing. I have skinny-dipped and that felt pretty good. That's pretty racy for me, your classic uptight American and a pretty dang private person, to boot.** Mind you, that was long before cell phones with cameras. And, let's face it, there's a significant difference between being naked in the water and lounging naked on a public beach.

Yes. There. Is.

Gotta admit... questions abound...

Have you sunbathed naked?*** Would you do it? Would you care if you were photographed/videotaped? Would you engage in conversation with strangers while you were doing it?

And why is it, generally speaking, that the people who are first to strip down at the beach are the ones we least want to see naked?

Bonus question: Have you ever seen any guy at the beach who looked good in a Speedo?

That's what I thought.

Extra special bonus scenario: You think your family Thanksgiving is uncomfortable? Imagine the scenario of someone at the table being featured prominently in a "Girls Gone Wild" video which other family members have viewed. Thanks for the awkward!



* I thought that would get your attention.

** You noticed my shyness on the blog, right? Really, it's a credit to you and how comfortable you make me feel that I can do this at all. Yeah, let's go with that.

*** No worries. I won't tell a soul.
