We have a clothing-optional beach nearby and we go there a lot with the dog. It's a pretty good beach with beautiful headlands, a make-shift bar, surfers and sometimes families. Most of the nudists are guys and most of them are alone. Occasionally there are couples. I've been trying to collect my thoughts about it all. I like the idea of clothes-optional spaces, at least in theory. In reality, it depends. On the weekends when there are a lot of people on the beach, the nude ones kind of blend in and it feels okay, just everybody doing their thing. On the weekdays and when it's stormy, there are fewer people on the beach and it doesn't feel that innocent. There is a lot of parading, posturing, hooking-up, and unwarranted invasions of space. The men can be pretty creepy. Yes, I'm chilling on a nude beach, no I don't want you standing in front of me staring with your junk hanging out. It doesn't feel innocent or natural, it feels predatory.
