Nudity in the Playground

[Totally Guy]

It's that time of year again. My friends and I are going are participating in naked night at the local corn maze attraction for the second time.

Last year went really well. There was that initial shock of being naked along with everyone else but then it was like all our body insecurities all went away for the one evening. We explored the maze, hopped onto the bouncy castle and looked at the hall of mirrors... It felt extremely liberating.

Last year I was a bit nervous but this year I'm feeling a lot more confident about it. But I'm still worried because I'm outside of the main social group this time. My friends have invited a lot more of thier friends so they're going to be popular guys there. I might stuggle to have their attention. Hopefully I can talk to new people too.

I feel that I need to talk about it here as it's not really an accepted topic in the real world...

[KuReshtin]

Last year, it sounded like you had a great time. I hope this year is as good as last year.

[Deth Muncher]

Hey, I remember this event you were talking about.

My biggest question, I guess, is why on Earth anyone wants to go be naked outdoors?

I'd imagine males in particular would suffer if it was chilly.

And since Glug lives in the Land of Angles, isn't it always perpetually foggy and rainy and cold? /stereotypes

Actually I think that infections of... private parts are more common among girls.

Anyway I won't live home pantless today...

I don't want my private parts sun burnt.

That's just all sorts of pain I never needed to think about. Thanks for that. >_<

Bouncy castles . . . ?

OH dear.
If there are any girls participating I pity them.
Lor' Mum once told me an anecdote about her ebst friend. One day she didn't have any clean bras, so she wore two school shirts and went off to school. But she forgot she had PE.
And it was cross-country.
As Mum's Best Friend is . . . well-endowed there was much bouncing.
To quote mum's actual words (minus the swears): "It was bloody hilarious! Nearly wet myself laughing seeing [her] boobs bouncing up and down so hard she nearly knocked herself out!"

Bouncy castles will be problematic for everyone though.

@Spiryt: I think 'zira was talking about . . . shrinkage.

I think he was talking about shrinkage actually

EDIT: Ninja'd by a lot of time... I should post the moment I click on the button

My goodness. What a terrible idea: being in your natural state in nature. Just think. Instead of having absorptive cloth near their orifices, trapping any bodily waste or by products which didn't get quite cleaned away as hoped next to your skin in a dank environment. you'd be exposing such things to "Sunlight" and "Fresh Air." which as we all know promote the growth of illness causing bacteria because they are so horrible as disinfectants.

And shrinkage! Just think of the colossal damage to the male psyche when it's revealed that they actually aren't a tripod ALL the time! People might have to stop having unrealistic expectations about the appearance of the human body! A wardrobe malfunction might not be considered less appropriate for children than the slaughter of fellow sentient beings! The internet economy would collapse!

Yeah. As long as you aren't going hypothermic or crashing through sharp edges/spines/poisonous plants, I see no purpose for a nudity taboo.

Have fun, Glug!

Y'know, not all of us are of a crazy alien species Gol, you and your crazy alien ideas on nudity. I bet they don't even have clothes on your planet, do they?

In less ridiculous news, if everyone's down for it, I guess I see no reason why it couldn't be a good time. I just never understood the allure of being naked around other people. I mean, there's generally ONE time when you have to, y'know, but other than that, naked + other people just seems strange to me.

[Yora]

The last weeks it was so warm around here, you were underpants at home only because you would not want to pull the shades down.

[Closak]

I fail to see what's so strange about it, animals go naked all the time.
Including the ones that don't have fur, in case anyone was going to make any comments about that.

Geez, do you people shower fully clothed too?

That's not true. We have many varieties of protective and decorative gear.

Protective as in "If I go outside without wearing this, I will die from cold/heat/vacuum/radiation." And decorative as in "This will compliment my appearance, rather than cover it up."

Also, Naked =/= hanky panky. Though it does make it harder to lie about whether you'd like it to.

Only if you dont want it too

This is too awkward for me to understand why someone would want to do this. But if you have fun, by all mean, continue.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Ahh, this cracked me up last time to if I recall.

As for the who would go naked outdoors question asker... dude, as long as you're in the woods, I'd be tempted. It's friggin' HOT.


However, the thought of having to see fellow dudes wagglin' all about me just totally turns me off the idea of any of that kinda recreation. Girls... not a problem. I'm not a pig, that's just me.

To quote the most recent strip (eh ha ha!) 'Too much loin, not enough cloth!'

[YPU]

Vorpal, if I remember correctly you are so hairy that you technically need to shave in order to be naked.

I read in some of my study books that being naked an mass can be a very good experience that "puts things into another perspective" I guess I can see that.

[Doctor Acula]

I wish my freinds were cool enough to do this

Exactly. I mean ... Yeah. Who'd want to? Ignoring any sexual tendencies people may or may not have

I mean, you don't HAVE to look down. -shrug-

[Deathslayer7]

There's an horrible, unacceptable truth that I have to reveal to some people on this topic. You... like everyone else... were born butt naked. And yes, everyone in the hospital room got to see your tiny pee-pee.

God. I hope you're joking, guys. It seems like the most horrible image you can imagine is that of another guy's genitalia, and the worst thing that could happen to you is people seeing your own bastard sword in a shrinked state.

EDIT : nice job, guys, you finally broke golentan !

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Did... anyone say anything about gay or straight? About being insecure in any way?

Things of the body I, personally, don't want to see: Back-boobs, hairy warts, crusty teeth and male genitals.

Nothing wrong with'em (except back boobs, those are evil), but I don't care to look at them either.

I'm perfectly happy with my male attributes, but I'm man enough for me, thanks.

What's a back boob? Do I want to know? Is it anything like side boob? I like side boob...

Is perfectly safe for work, though maybe not for the mind.
