Re: Should America have Nude beaches?

I have no problem with it at all. But I feel that they should be completely nude, not just topless because then what's really changing for the men? You can look at it two ways - either it only benefits the men (because they now get to look at nekkid boobies) or it doesn't benefit the men because they already get to walk around "topless" and still don't get the benefit of being able to shed an extra piece of swimsuit.

Re: Should America have Nude beaches?

When's the last time anyone has been to the nude beach at Robert Moses?

I'm seeing the people on Sunday who used to sunbathe nude there, and I'm sure they'd want to know if it was still a nude beach.

Re: Should America have Nude beaches?

I really don't care either way because usually the nude beaches are seperate from the non-nude beaches. When talking a walk at Robert Moses you run the risk of walking onto the nude beach... again that's fine, usually it's done on purpose because it's good for a laugh.... HOWEVER... I have a serious issue with families on a naked beach who have their 9, 10, 11 year old daughter/son on the beach naked with them... IMHO I find that kind of wierd. Chat Icon Am I alone on this???

Re: Should America have Nude beaches?

i don't see a problem with it

and yes, we do have them already. there is a section of smith point beach that if you walk far enough west, it is a designated nude bathing area. it's no big deal

Re: Should America have Nude beaches?

The last time I sunned almost-nude, I got the worst sunburn of my life. That alone would prevent me from going to these beaches.

As far as the kid issue, I thought of that too. If I was a parent, I might be worried about sex predators who would get off at seing that.

I know someone who used to go to a section of beach somewhere near the Fire Island lighthouse where nudies would go. I think we already have them... somewhere.

I don't see any problem with it. If you don't like it, you don't go.



There are nudies over their and believe no one you want to take a peek atChat Icon

Have you ever been to Cherry Grove or the Pines? Gross.

It just seems so much more tasteful in Europe. People do it because it's "the norm" not because they want to show off their ta ta's.

There really isn't much difference between completely nude and some of the bikinis that women wear anyway.


Exactly.



ditto. Chat Icon and some of the g-strings Ive seen men wear in Italy that were NOT very flattering to them Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I say as long as its kept private and doesnt disturb/become inappropriate. I know what Im thinking but I cant quite type it out Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Why do ANY beaches need to be nude??? Chat Icon

Anyway, nude beaches are not my cup of tea, but to each his own... I could care less if nude beaches exist or not, I know I won't be visiting them!

yeah - why not? It isn't like anyone HAS to go to these beaches.

Sure, as long as they're separate from the other beaches. I don't need to see naked people frolicking around. Call me a prude, but it's uncomfortable to me.

that's the thing. Those exist already... i meant (and i should have worded it better in my original question).. should ALL beaches be nude... as they are in other countries.

I think it's nasty seeing a dinglehopper swinging...



Dinglehopper swinging! I love it!

My opinion, I don't mind nude beaches as long as it is known that the beach is a nude beach. If you want to go somewhere else, good for you. Everyone wins Chat Icon

if that's the question, then NO all beaches should not be nude.

i'm sure it works in other countries but i think america is too PC and too prude to be ready for that

This is how it is in Jamaica. Not all the beaches are nude they have the nude beach separate.

Re: Should America have Nude beaches?

Sure, why not?

The big issues for me are the local ones... is it secluded, so that unknowing parents and little kids don't stumble upon full frontal nudity? Would adding a nude beach take away prime space from families and the larger public (as in, would the secluded part of the beach they'd section off a s a nude area be taking away too large a portion of the beach from mainstream beachers)

Re: Should America have Nude beaches?

should ALL beaches be nude? hell no. people should not be subjected to that unless they want to be. and people should not have to not go to a beach anymore, because they aren't comfortable being around that. i think that it's fine the way it is now... there are some out there, and if you want to go, you can, if not, don't.
personally, it's not my cup of tea but to each their own. i guess i'm very conservative when it comes to that.
