Am I too uptight if I don't want to go to a nude beach?

[alarimer]

We have an area here that is fairly remote (although not too remote) where people do sunbathe (or swim or whatever) in the nude. I cannot bring myself to do that. I just can't. Plus it is illegal and you can get arrested for it, which would be REALLY embarrassing.

I just cannot do it. So I guess I am uptight. Plus the sunburn! Oh my God how painful would that be in areas that have not seen the sun ever!

1. Well, you might see a naked breast or two.

How do you feel about that?

4. Oh the horror!

But it isn't other people I mind- I just don't want them to see ME. I can't look at myself in the mirror- I avert my eyes.

5. But will you be breastfeeding?

Because that is a completely different issue.

And, FWIW, I'm totally with you on this. I couldn't imagine ever going to a nude beach. The world isn't ready for that.

2. Plus you have to look at all those naked people

which is usually a lot less charming than one first thinks.

Stick to your guns. Your modesty is just fine.

3. I don't think wanting to be covered makes you uptight

To each his/her own.

6. It's really more the public aspect to it

If it were so remote there was no possibility of other people, it might be a different thing.

Plus the cops like to drive by that area, not necessarily to arrest people, but in hope of ogling.

7. Everyone has different comfort levels...

don't do it if it makes you uncomfortable. It's perfectly fine. :hi:

8. Most of us like to stay covered.
