People coming out of the water after a skinny dip record attempt can't be afraid of being found out from a photograph if the hands are covering the groin instead of the face..All I can say is that I've never seen that sort of coy behavior when there wasn't a camera around.
We are getting closer to what I was asking. The event has them running, playing a sport, or coming out of a body of water with a camera on them and hey are uncovered. The camera has seen everything. Many of them are not nudists and I suspect that those who are not are the ones who cover themselves, and the question is why now?
I guess that asking directly would give me some answers, varied I am sure, but I've never had the opportunity to be in a group setting of naked participants. I have attempted to do a WNBR several times, but distance plays a part in keeping me from the event as did a knee replacement one year, and very high temperatures two other years. I think my best shot this year will be the Freemont Solstice Parade in Seattle. I would not do all the body paint though.
I will sometimes cover my cock and balls on a clothing optional beach or when sunning nude in the backyard, but it is because I have been sunburned there and don't want it to happen again. Nothing to do with modesty.
