Naked people in town.

Am I being judgemental or what? 2 self styled naturists have been hanging out naked in my town, a man and a woman, and I do feel particularly affronted because there it is all hanging out in front of all the local kids and it was obvious people felt uncomfortable especially at the cafe they stopped in at.
When I protested I got a right mouthful and told I am "ill". But quite frankly I think kids should be able to go to the shops without being confronted by naked people, it's bloody freezing as well,.I've got 2 jumpers on.They are posting pics of themselves all over the local facebook pages of their "lifestyle".
The joke of it is I am a naturist myself but I keep my fat backside within the confines of my club and only go there when it's warm to sunbathe, enjoy the summer and swim - they have a lovely pool. The rest of the time I have my clothes on.
You would not catch me walking naked through the high street. A lot of us older naturists are pretty conservative like that.
I feel really cross about it and I don't normal allow myself to be bothered by what other people do but there is a bloody limit.
What does everyone think.

I can't believe the cafe let them in, that's gross.
Where I work men with no tops on are sent back out again, I wouldn't let two naked people get through the front door.

I agree with you but this is the most British thing to say when confronted by randomly naked people "it's bloody freezing as well,.I've got 2 jumpers on" 😂😂😂

Why is getting your cock out illegal but it being already out not?

Scentedjasmin · 12/09/2024 22:46

I visited the English Gardens in Munich in the summer and half the men were strutting around naked, some wearing massive cock rings.

Scentedjasmin · 12/09/2024 22:48

Were they wearing shoes OP? I'm not sure of the science behind it, but if you are already naked but want to feel even more naked, you simply slip a pair of shoes on!

BiscuitlyBoyle · 12/09/2024 22:49

You were wearing two jumpers? I know the weather has taken an autumnal turn but nothing enough to require two jumpers.

Or even worse, socks.

Do they still do it in December?

It's better than the furries and trans shit

Yes. All four.

I was walking along a beach during a particularly bitter winter in Canada, trying out my new thermal padded ski jacket. My mother was visiting, so she had joined me on the walk. When suddenly, around the corner appeared a hiker wearing a thick jacket, warm hat, scarf, gloves, hiking boots and long woolly socks. That was all. He was clutching a map and was lost. Fortunately my eyesight is much better than my mother's so I swerved him and quickened my pace, leaving her stuck chatting to him. I'm surprised that he didn't get frost bite.

They might have been both, no way of telling.

Isn't this the sort of thread where a diagram would be handy though? 😉

Have just read the Wikipedia page on Stephen Gough, the UK naked rambler, and he sounds so odd, in that, after so many convictions after walking around naked, he always leaves prison naked on release, and is re-arrested.
The article does not mention how he earns his living, just said he was a former soldier and driver.
He has been assessed by a psycologist, who found no evidence of mental illness, but he broke down once in court.

Sensible towns let him leave jail and ramble on his way. Arresting him, jailing, releasing then arresting again just perpetuated the problem.

IsadoraBathrobe · 12/09/2024 23:22

The issue here is context. Sunbathing nude in your own garden, skinny dipping during an organised event, attending a naturist club - great! Sunbathing nude in the kids’ play park, skinny dipping at the local leisure centre and rocking up naked to the vicar’s tea party - decidedly not great. So this couple are challenging social norms? How ridiculous - queer theory in action! Sometimes social norms are in place for a bloody good reason.

Made me laugh out loud! I'll be giggling about this for ages.

Screamingabdabz · 12/09/2024 23:41

Ugh. That is rank. I hope they get arrested but they won’t.

That’s really grim.

MeAgainAndAgain · 12/09/2024 23:57

So this Naked Rambler guy, he apparently stopped as he was caring for his mother who had dementia. But she died in 2017, so why hasn’t he restarted?

Something weird about the desire to make other people feel uncomfortable.

But really really weird about the desire to make children uncomfortable.

Holidayhell22 · 13/09/2024 00:09

I absolutely do not want to sit on chair that someone’s else’s bollocks, cock or arsehole has been dangling about on.
Where the hell is this?
i’ve been wearing a coat all week.

HauntedBungalow · 13/09/2024 00:32

They're always naked in Glastonbury aren't they

AllTheChaos · 13/09/2024 00:52

Meh. Bodies are just bodies and I’m not fussed. I agree there are potential hygiene issues, but as long as they are addressed, I actually think it would be a good thing if no one gave a damn. Coincidentally that would also stop it being a kink for anyone, as the sense of it being transgressive would not be there anymore.

Gettingbysomehow · 13/09/2024 05:41

I've been outed it is Glastonbury. You might think this kind of thing goes on all the time but it doesn't really, a few people go swimming naked in the white springs but don't stay in there very long as the water is so cold it burns your skin after a few minutes.
It's far too much like my nightmares where I need the loo desperately but the only one is right out there on the high street and I haven't got any clothes on 😂

Surprisingly not. Mostly dreadlocks and new age clothing. I've never seen anyone naked on the high street before. It wasn't me that rung the police BTW.
