Accidentally stumbled onto a nude beach once. Got nude to not feel left out. I don't even take my shirt off outside in the summer because I'm so self conscious.

Either fit in or leave.

This happened to me and my friends as well but on arrival we got instantly yelled at by nude people for not being nude. It's not like we were staring at them but why is it so bad if we wouldn't be naked? (Assuming we mind our own business)

[–] WehImOarsch@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

Yes it's bad. If people begin wearing clothes at a nude beach, it won't be a nude beach for very long.

The reasoning is that if you allow clothed people on the beach, you'll get more and more clothed people until naturists are a minority and don't feel comfortable getting naked. And because naturists don't have a lot of places to practice it, they are quite protective of the few places they do have.

I don't know. I would just assume if you're clothed, you don't really need to be on a nude beach, and I'm sure there are enough pervs sitting around watching.

There's really no reason to be on a nude beach unless you're going to participate. Usually there's a clothed beach right next to it.

I want the nude police!

Brother, you're wearing clothes? Either take them off or get off the beach!

Ma'am, that's a 50€ fine for wearing clothes here.

I think public indecency laws against JUST nudity are silly.

Personally I find a person who have willingly "fermented" themselves by not showering to be more indecent, and the majority socially ostracize said individuals, but it's still not illegal, nor should it be, and neither should public nudity.

[–] gowan@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's sanitary issues with nudity as your ass is not clean and naked asses sharing surfaces can communicate disease.

Public nudity laws should be implemented where they make sense eg nudity at the park/beach/pool is fine but if you're sitting on a bench maybe put down a towel.

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

In nude saunas the rule is you have to sit on a towel. If you're worried about people sitting on stuff with their dirty ass then it seems that should be the law.

Besides, what disease can you get by sitting with clothes on where someone previously sat naked? I don't think it's a disease issue, just gross. But people sitting in dirty/soiled clothing is the same thing (arguably potentially worse) and that's not illegal.
