As many would know, public nudity is illegal in India. But I have tried it a couple of times. I can't say too bold, it would be bold for others, but I was a bit scared. Also, this one may border on exhibitionist urges. Unlike in other regions such as Europe. nudity in India is associated with perversion, being gay, being a rapist etc. These are some of the myths that one has to fight, being a nudist in India. Nudity is just that and nothing but nudity.
First one was in Cuddalore Beach. As you walk away from the slightly crowded portion of the beach, you get a somewhat less crowded area, where all the college love bird couples would be sitting under umbrellas or trees or small rocks and smooching etc. A little distance away is also a fishermen colony famously affected by the Tsunami. At a distance is also an old small dilapidated temple also affected by Tsunami. Once, as I reached the lesser crowded area of the beach, I stripped to full nude and put my shorts into the bag. For a short while, I had a tiny towel around my waist.
As I walked further, I saw a group of girls coming from the fishermen colony in my direction. When they were a little distance away, I let go of the tiny towel and shoved that too into the bag and became full nude. It was a pleasant shock to the group of girls, most of them were giggling and amused. As I walked along, I also saw some love bird couples engaged in their whatever. I passed through a few of them. One of the them (the girl) bent and covered her head into her lover's thighs till I passed. Another couple were slightly amusedly shocked. I also went to one of them, and asked whether they can click a nude photo of mine on the beach. But they refused.
After a while, I settled down on the beach nude and did some nude meditation, the evening was simply beautiful. One college student who was going to the colony stopped at me and asked me where I came from and why I was nude. I said, I love to be in the nude, and one with nature, the beach is great place to do that. He chatted for a while, I invited him to meditate with me. But he finally concluded that I might be a pervert rapist. As he walked ahead, I saw him murmuring, "someone is going to be harmed today.".
Things got slightly complicated after that. As I walked further towards the colony, there were a few people who spotted me from atop a cliff. As soon as they saw that I was nude, they started shouting at me, "Don't come here.", they even gestured to harm me. I also saw that a little distance away, a rural woman was bathing in the sea with her two children, so I thought that is the limit and it's best to stage a quick retreat, lest they feel insecure about a nude man approaching them.
I was still nude, but I retreated in the direction I came from. However, on the way back, in one of the college couples, the man thought I am a mad cap and I might harm his girl. He then picked a small tree branch, you know those thick ones off a coconut tree, that was lying on the beach. He shouted, "Don't come near, run away". I dint wear my clothes even then, but I started jogging towards the public area of the beach and as I approached it, I wore my shorts.
For those who know Cuddalore, the police commissionerate/training college is somewhat on the way to the beach, there is even a police station nearby.This fact I came to know only when I was coming back from the beach to the main town. But there were no policemen patrolling the beach. Overall, though I was scared and careful all the time, I had a great nude walk on the beach. And the nude meditation experience was fantastic.
I have wondered whether a towel is actually required -- legally -- when going through a toll plaza. I've only done it once or twice and always had a towel in my lap.In Missouri I have gone through toll plazas where Ive had to stop and pay the toll nude, with only a towel in my lap without incident. These activities probably seem bolder than they actually are, but thats my contribution.
Working up the courage to enter a nudist resort, once inside in less than an hour I was completely at ease nude due to how friendly and accepting the other guests were. Now when I visit a nudist location, I can't wait to enter.

My first and so far only time at a clothing optional resort was easy since I had been to clothing optional beaches many times before, I stripped in the parking lot and remained nude until I left.
I consider the boldest thing I have done to be the first time I walked naked along a street in broad daylight on holiday.
I had taken rubbish to the bins naked several times in that apartment complex at a nudist beach but this time I elected to walk 150 yards along the street past the next two complexes onto the beach and back along the beach.
This first adventure was the start of many such including 15 mile nude cycle rides and walking throughthe village to the baker's to fetch the breakfast croissants.
My boldest activity was taking the trash out to the street; it was night time but my (then) neighbor had a security light that lit up the area. I pushed the trash bin out and quickly strode back to the house. There was a slight hill in the road that hid oncoming vehicles so I did not dally. I have repeated the exercise but am still careful.

Did the same just the other night. My lights come on, but I've never had a car come past, and the eight degree temperature and snow on the bare feet made for a very quick round trip.
