@Ed there are various topics going on to discuss going on walks etc. It’s your site so if you want to create a sports section you could try – I’m not quite convinced it would add much to the topics that people are interested in. You could add a naked sports dare and see what people come up with (naked skydiving perhaps!). But I think it should be evidence of a sport in an outdoor or public place.
@Ed oh I see, you’ve already added Naked in a lift: With the doors CLOSED! Most lifts have mirrors in them so it’s easier to take a selfie.
That’s actually pretty easy. I thought it was going to have to be a video of you taking the lift down, leaving it and then taking the stairs back up again. But with the doors closed, it’s not really that much different from being naked in a changing room unless you chose a particularly packed lift (elevator) to take your photo in!
@SimplyCait actually one of the categories I was thinking of was trying to get as many different naked sports in there. This was inspired by seeing a naked paddle boarder go by. This could be an open category. Already we have naked walking, cycling and swimming on this site. But there are no end of other sports that people enjoy doing naked. Actually down by the river a naked couple started doing some naked yoga poses and many people will have tried naked yoga (well at least at home like myself)!
@Ed a statue is considerably different proposition to a traffic light. It gives you an option to pose like a statue or take some of the statue’s location and circumstances into consideration. I agree that outside a pub and outside a supermarket are similar as there is little difference in context. What would be more challenging is inside a pub, for example ordering a drink (but I think someone has posted themselves naked in a beer garden with others about him?) or even more so, naked inside a supermarket doing your shopping (though I have seen pictures of people in France near a nudist beach just walking round a shop naked, as you do!)
@Gary I’ll have no problem taking a photo of myself with a statue. It’s going to be a bit harder getting the statue into a lift!
Anyway you can certainly start a new thread to post your statue photos and I’m sure that will spark some interest and other will try to do the same. Perhaps pictures of naked people trying to look like a statue?
@SimplyCait If the statue were sufficiently life-like you might get away with it for the “Naked selfie with a member of the public” category! However, it looks like we are going to need some need categories soon, so suggest the “Naked with a statue category”. There are certainly soon historic houses around here with gardens filled with nude statues that are just crying out for someone to take a nude photo of themselves as a nude pair!
Online media are only referring to harmful content to try to protect themselves. In “Western” cultures, originally, a lot of it has to do with the influence of Christianity and its attitude toward sexuality and nudity. Not to single out Christians, the reason why people tend to be more covered up in the Middle East (you don’t find many nudist beaches there) is due to Muslim culture. Basically, society is influenced greatly by religion. In the far East, for instance, communal bathing is common.
But the strange and worrying thing is that we gradually seem to be regressing in some ways from say the 1970s and it seems to be mainly to do with increased authoritarianism than people becoming more offended.
There are patterns of social norms that have strong affects. You will see topless women on pretty much all beaches around Europe. So why is it so rare to see it on UK beaches (where there are certainly no laws against being topless). I think it’s simply because it’s not the norm!
Sorry to hear all this. Hope your days off are good.
I should have sent an email with them as jpg attachments. I think putting them inline in the message caused the problem.
Thanks for putting my photos up. I think you might have missed out on some like:
At home
Clothes shop/department fitting room
Leisure centre, gym or pool changing rooms
Outside your housewhich I did send included in the body of the first email.
I’ve been to a couple of Naked Bike rides. There is little to describe about what’s involved. You don’t have to sign up or anything. You just turn up at the starting point which is normally in a city park. Take off your clothes and put them in a rucksack and cycle round town. The only bizarre thing is simply taking your clothes of in a city park which will most likely have gathered the attention of many other clothed people who for some reason take their phones out and start taking photos!
