Been reading all your stories with pleasure and also with a lot of jealousy. I live in Holland (NL), thats a pretty crowded country and not many places to go for a stroll outside in the nude. Really would love trying it out, but I guess its not an option here.So I have to stick with being nude at home and occasionally go nude outside in the backyard to grab something. Neighbors all around that can look into my backyard. However when night falls and I see most are gone to bed, I go outside and enjoy being nude. Just wish I could have some sunshine with thatHowever after reading all your stories, I might just drive somewhere less crowded and give it a goIf I do and done it, I will share my story with you all!
Is nudity not legal in Holland? I thought it was.
If you need to drive somewhere to be naked, try driving there naked too. It's so much nicer

From what I understood it should be, but many law enforcement officials are unaware of that. There are people (from what I have been reading) who have a printout of this law, to show when needed.
But so far I havent seen anyone walk around nude in the neighborhood yet
As many people are so close minded unfortunately, also not going to be the first in the neighborhood.
But driving nude to the destination might be a good idea

This is very much the situation in the UK. Public nudity has been legal since 2003 when the Sex Offences act was amended but has only really been *legal* since British Naturism worked with the College of Policing to update their guidelines in 2018. We proved that there have been zero successful prosecutions for public nudity, and with that in mind, the COP changed their policies and guidelines to save police time and resources, and as a result make public nudity possible. Unfortunately there are still a lot of police forces and officers who are not aware of the new guidelines. All nudists who go out in public, walking or driving are advised to carry a copy of these guidelines in case they come into contact with an officer. BN membership cards even contain the web address of the guideline document on the college of policing web site.
So far, from what I've heard it works, with some people just receiving a warning (which has no legal standing) or less. The advice to people in the UK is to never accept a caution as that does have a legal standing, and does go on your record.
Unfortunately, social acceptance does not match the legal acceptance, which is why many people still do not go out naked. Very much like it appears to be in Holland.
As for driving naked, I can highly recommend it. For the last 5 years I have been driving bottomless which was nice. By keeping just my shirt on it is possible to drive just about anywhere. If you have a shirt on, nobody knows, even in town. If however I remove just my shirt and leave everything else on, I get funny looks when driving in town.
When the sun first came out at the start of this summer, I decided to ditch the shirt too and my daily commute home was done in total comfort. Provided I never drive alongside another car, nobody can see or can tell, and the truth is that nobody even looks. When people are driving they are in their own little world, which means I can be too.
I live in the US, where public nudity is generally illegal and I drive a convertible, so I leave my shorts on.
However, i always drive shirtless in warm weather.
I do get some strange looks and even an occasional rude comment shouted in my direction, but I don't care!

I experienced rude comments while wearing thongs on Florida beaches. Have to feel bad for people who have no tolerance for things which dont concern them and are outside their comfort zone, and cant control their tongues.

I do believe that the world is becoming less and less tolerant. There seems to be an army of permanently annoyed people looking for something to be annoyed or upset about.
Then there are their reserved troops who are constantly offended looking for something to offended at or being offended on behalf of others - think of the children.

Yes, think of the children. Don't you want them to grow up to be tolerant and live in a free society?
I personally havent done this, but I have an interesting story to share. in August of this year (2019) I was attending a late-night Meetup group around 72nd street and Broadway (in NYC). I bought a couple of items in a drugstore, then left for the subway. I saw a man bump into an older couple on the street, as he was moving very quickly down the street. The couple was clearly annoyed by this. I quickly realized that the man in question was stark naked. Not even any footwear - he was totally starkers! The couple seemed stunned, as they watched this naked man move down the street. He seemed agitated, and maybe mentally ill or high on something. I saw a woman calling 911 on her mobile phone, and I have to assume she told the cops "That guys' nuts - grab 'im!" lol
I followed the news media the next day, to see if there were any reports of a naked man being arrested that night. I saw nothing. There is an old saying - "There are 8 million stories in the naked city..." and this is mine.
I wear a thong on the beaches in Galveston, TX quite often. People come up and start normal conversations and had some folks parked next to me invite me to join them as I was just sitting alone.
In the morning on weekdays I shed the thong and cover up when people get close.
