Suits Vs Nude
I'm hoping it was just an odd day but on Sunday, Aug 10 at one point there seemed to be more guys wearing bathing suits than nude in the men's wet area. Just sad that so many feel the need to cover up and kill a traditional culture atmosphere. We need some more young guys from this group to show up because it seems it's always the younger guys who wear suits. Anyone over 35-40 just goes with the flow.
Yes it was disappointing to see so many suits. All us older men can do is encourage younger members and even suited men we strike up a conversation with at SW to embrace the tradition. Men large and small tall and large be confident in yourself and embrace the freedom nudity offers.
Interesting situation you describe. At the spas here in NY/NJ, nudity is mandatory in the gender-separated areas. One time, a couple of guys entered, kept their suits on, and everyone nicely but loudly said stuff like, "dude, it's a naked area." Pretty hilarious.
