Excluding sex or bathing, what activities have you done naked?

Being a naturist (nudist) I was just curious. Excluding sex or bathing, what activities have you done naked?

Here are some things I myself have done, while naked.

  1. Sleeping. It is much more comfortable and it is easier for your body to maintain homeostasis and an even temperature if you sleep naked.

  2. Cleaning House. I started to just clean the shower naked, as then I didn’t have to worry about t getting wet or dirty. However, I reasoned there was no reason to worry about getting dirty at all when cleaning if I cleaned the whole house naked. I still ended cleaning in the shower, as after cleaning the shower, I’d also clean myself up.

  3. Gardening and yard work. I saw no need to get clothes dirty if I didn’t have to. I did and do wear clothes in the front yard, or if I am handling a mower or chainsaw, as a matter of safety. The function of clothes is warmth and protection, and some aspects of yard work require sensible protection. I’ll also do hand watering nude too. I don’t worry about getting wet, and if it gets hot, I can just turn the hose on myself and cool down without getting any clothing wet.

  4. Sunbathing. I think an all over tan looks much better and more natural than tan lines do, and much more attractive.

  5. Swimming. I hate wet swimwear. It gets really cold really fast once you get out of the water. Strangely, when naked, you don’t’ get as cold. You also don’t have to deal with a wet swimsuit getting everything else wet in your bag.

  6. At a Spa. This includes Jacuzzis, Steam Rooms and Saunas. Again, no wet swimsuits, and also it is easier to shower off sweat if you aren’t' wearing a swimsuit.

  7. Hiking. I love being out in nature and being naked enhances the experience as you feel the sun and wind (and sometimes rain) on your skin.

  8. Bicycling. I’ve gone on quite a few naked bike rides, usually as part of protests. The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR), which happens in many major cities, is a protest about our dependence on fossil fuels. The WNBR in Portland, Oregon, in the USA attracts over 10,000 riders each year.

  9. Streaking. This is basically jogging while nude. In the e1970’s a lot of exhibitionists (persons who get aroused by others seeing them naked) did this, but for nudists it is always about just being naked and never about being seen by others… unless protesting, but then being seen still isn’t about sex.

  10. Table Games. Such as pool/billiards or ping pong.

  11. Boards Games/ card games. Oddly enou8gh I never played strip poker or any other stripping game. If nudity is no big deal for you, there is really no attraction to such games. However, I have played board and card games while naked.

So, what have you done naked (excluding sex and bathing)?

I don't generally do yoga, but if I did, I'd probably do that naked too. I live near Portland, OR, so there are naked yoga classes. My frugality always kicks in though. For what an hour naked yoga class costs, that wodl cover the day use fee at a nudist resort. One hour versus all day... no contest.

Tease! lol

All those things except #'s 8, 9 and 11. I've also done Yoga. I now live in an apt so no longer do yardwork but am almost always naked at home. I've learned to slip into underwear while cooking anything that can splatter, though. Possible ouchies.

I tended to change what I cooked to things that don't splatter so much. Like switching from regular to turkey bacon, and cooking by "oven frying" instead of frying on the stove top. I actually shy away from frying in general, just because other forms of cooking are healthier. I forgot to include cooking naked, but I only listed what was on the top of my head at the time. I coudl probably think of other stuf too.

From your list #1, 2, 4, 5, and 7, plus a couple wine-tastings, potluck dinners, dances, camping, and sitting around a bonfire talking. With the exception of 1 and 2, these activities were at a handful of nudist resorts.

At a nudist resort, the question would have to be, "What did you do clothed?" For me, the answer to that is "check in". After that I am naked until it is time to leave the nudist resort.

For me, the answer would just be park.

1 2 3 4 and 5 I'm a potter , it a lot easier to clean up after

fried bacon

I switched to turkey bacon, because of less splattering... and it is healthier. Yeah, I guess I ave cooked while naked too.

@athiest I have skills now

Cooking, shower

Ouch!

Never again!

Living dangerously! Lol! 😀

1,4,5,6 and Skydiving, but never again. A parachute harness can be agonizing to your nuts if not in properly fitted. I made an exhibition jump along with 3 others into a rodeo arena. Our reception was so much fun that we decided to give them a free one. We raced back to our nearby drop zone, shucked down, and jumped into tha arena bareassed. You can imagine the view from the arena as we circled it down to about 100 feet and then landed in the parking lot and hopped into a waiting van to make our getaway. The roar from the crowd was deafening. As far as I know there were no complaints made to the cops. My only regret is that we didn't take any pics.

I thought about a naked parachute jump, but decided a bungie jump would probably be safer.

Sleeping, skinny dipping, sauna, hot tubing, sun bathing. All I can remember.

Backcountry skiing! And river rafting. Fun, butchagotta slather on the sunscreen.

I've hiked nude up above the snow line on Mt Hood (Oregon), but the air temperature was probably around 80F. I could not imagine skiing naked. I am just too warm blooded. To me clothing has two main purposes, warmth and protection. Still I ride my bike naked, so warmth is the more important to me. Even with the cold, the idea of skiing naked does seem like fun.

Hanging around the house. Rituals with close friends. Hot tubbing, sleeping. Hiking. Most people seem pretty freaked out about their bodies. It's sad.

I can't really think of anything, I even go to bed with clothes on.

Yeah, we are generally conditioned as a society to wear clothes all the time, except when bathing or having sex. The problem with that is that peopel only think of nudity in those two contexts, and most often think nudity = sex/ When in fact a person can be nude doing virtually anything.

As one of my favorite T-shirts says "If we were meant to be naked, we'd be born that way."

1,2,4,5,6. I like clothes for protection. Keeps me out of gaol too.

2

Streaking and modeling nude for an art class. Guess which one I broke my ankle doing?

I also once modeled nude for an art class. They were impressed at how long I could hold still.

Spent a week in Jamaica that has a nude side and a prude side - clothing optional.

For some, I don't think "prude" is always accurate. Some peopel have just never encountered nudity outside the the contexts of sex or bathing and our culture had trained us to equate nudity with sex. The idea of platonic nude recreation is something mos tpeople have never heard of or been exposed to. If they could gt past the feelings of "body shame" many people would really enjoy platonic nude recreation.

Reverse strip poker. ????strip poker. Riding a motorcycle with a pizza box..

One of these days I'd like to make to a WNBR event. Otherwise, I've done hiking, swimming, spa & sauna, and I worked part time as a nude model for art classes. I've done in-house activities as well, but I don't consider those much of a big deal, since all those activities could be categorized under the heading of "being naked in my own house." So far, naked hiking is probably the most exhilarating.

I've been a nude model for art classes a few times. It helps when I'm not wearing my glasses, that way I can't see anything...
