Status: offline 		BRATTLEBORO, Vt. - Topless women on parade? That was fine. Teenagers loitering in the buff, in a downtown parking lot? No problem. Naked sunbathers at swimming holes? It was just au naturel.

But a senior citizen in his birthday suit, walking through the center of town on a Friday night, wearing only a fanny pack? That's where Brattleboro draws a fig leaf.

After years of allowing public nudity, the town famous for its strip-and-let-strip attitude is considering banning it in parts of town, saying naked notoriety has begun drawing people here and is offending locals.

Of course, I have contemplated why it would not be such a good idea, at this time, to do so in public though. First, I would be concerned about STDs; then there is the fact that it would most likely offend some people to have others running around nakie; but I was thinking those wouldn’t actually be the biggest problems.
 
I came to the conclusion the biggest problems would result from the inability of some people to not touch what isn’t theirs, and trying to force what they’ve got on people who aren’t interested; crying shame really.

The reason “Mr. Freebird” being naked was a problem, besides picking an inopportune moment to do so,  is the fact that being naked wasn’t enough for him; he felt he needed to point it out to others.

I've been to a clothing optional campsite. =) Actually, it was huge week long pagan gathering in Southern Ohio, lol. Back in my wild Wiccan days, of course.
I think most people confuse nudism with exhibitionism. Not the same thing! Nudists generally don't bare it because they want to show off, they bare it because it feels just damn good. Staring and ogling is really bad etiquette. The old, fat, and ugly don't give a rat's ass whether they look acceptable or not to others, which is unassailably cool in my book. It's a hard concept to get used to, if one associates nudity with sexual attractiveness.

Status: offline 		and associating nudity with sexual attractiveness is apparently the problem here...the woman who says that he tried to get her to look "down there" was merely giving her opinion on his intent...there were no words exchanged, he didn't touch her or himself, so what's the big deal??

"It's time they did something about it," said Sherwood Smith, manager of Baskets Bookstore, which is located near a parking lot where naked teens gathered last summer. "It hurts a store like this. People who are likely to buy used books are often conservative middle-aged people, or older."


"Hey, OK, it sounds fun in theory, but it's hurting my business, so it has to be a bad thing!"

In general I keep the blinds closed in the summer with the fans running and wear nothing on top and very little on the bottom. 
 
The great thing about nudity is that you realize humans really do come in all shapes and sizes and that loving your body with all of the perceived "flaws" is the beginning of self-acceptance.
 
PS - When sunning your buns don't forget the SPF 50!
