    Here’s my standard answer:

    Topless beach = beautiful young people with great bodies.

    Nude beach = many bodies that you never wanted to see nude

    Only kind I go to these days.

    Super chill places. Utterly and completely un-sexual - and that’s the entire point.

    You can walk past someone with your balls waving in the breeze, and they don’t even blink. Someone can walk past you with their tits akimbo, and you don’t even blink. It’s a bit like seeing someone breastfeeeding their baby: yeah, boobs are great, but we’re not doing that right now. And that’s just a really comfy headspace to be in.

    Yes, there’s going to be old people. Excellent. 85yo woman pottering around stark naked, living her best life and not giving one single shit about anything. Fuck yeah, you go girl, that’s awesome.

    If you want to ogle people, there’s the internet. If you want to take the day off from playing the game at all, go to a nude beach.

    And of course, swimming naked is just stupidly better than swimming in clothes. Imagine if you’d been showering with your socks on all your life, and finally got to try it without. You’d never want to go back, would you?

    Eh, no real appeal for me. I’m not big on beaches so it would be pretty boring for me and while I’m pro-nudism (the human body should be normalized), it’s not important enough for me to get involved in their communities.

    As I guy I would never go to one. I’m sure if I went I would be turned on by all the nude woman. And I don’t think anyone would want to see me walking around with a full erection.

      Eh. 99.99% of everyone feels that way in the beginning. If it’s something you’re curious about, ask your local nudists community. I’m sure they’re more often clothed than not, and ya might learn something about other people, too! 🤓🌞

        Oh yeah just randomly find a bunch of local nudists to ask about something that is likely illegal where you live. This is such good advice

    Yes, been many times to more than one. In France, Malta, Spain… And surely also elsewhere I don’t remember.

    Nothing really hot to see, on average.

    And even if, honestly, feels pretty normal fast.

    Maybe it depends how you got raised.

    On German swimming pools changing rooms are often mixed sex, for example, and nobody seems to bother.

    I really have no problem with nudity, my own or that of others, whether in a sexual context or not.

    But I don’t have a huge interest in the beach.

    I guess I’m old enough to now, so sure. Only to get the all over tan, though, if I ever decide to become one of the leathery old beach people.

    Mostly I just think people shouldn’t freak out about naked people on any beach, we are so close to naked in swimsuits, what does it matter?

    Nope, I barely like beaches as it is. I have always been insecure my entire life about not only my body but also my size, and I doubt this would be one of those moments where going makes some revelation for me and changes everything. I’m good though, my wife likes it so that’s all that matters.
