I imagine, in many cases, there is indeed a fine line between exhibitionism and nudism, that may or may not be crossed without consciously knowing...the freedom of being nude I believe clouds the issue for some...
Personally, I hate wearing clothes most of the time and shed them whenever possible...sometimes it might be considered exhibitionism but I really don't care what others think...I'm just happy being textile free...
One exhibitionist after another telling their stories. Put all their naked asses in jail.
Exhibitionist?! Absolutely not. I would prefer no one see me at all. I'm such an introverted person that the thought never crossed my mind. I live, and thus mostly drive, in a rural area. Very little chance of been noticed.
I do however still would like to see a day when nudity is an accepted way of life by all, thus being no more an "exhibitionist" than someone who enjoys wearing loud shirts.
At least now we know why NudeJohnny has a problem with those of us who drive nude.
Like so many textiles, he does not understand the difference between nudity and sex.
As others have posted here, driving nude is not about exhibitionism, nor anything else other than a more comfortable way to drive.
Back when I first started driving in the nude,I was living in a condo,and had no garage.So I had to be wearing at least a pair of shorts.I did not always wear a shirt.I am not brave enough to drive nude around town.Most of the time I wait till I am on a country road,before I take my shorts off.I now live in a house with a garage.On a few occasions,I have remained nude for my drive home.I simply pull into the garage and go in the house still nude.I have thought about being nude when I leave the house,but have some shorts with me.I would not feel comfortable leaving the house nude,with no cover up.I am always aware of my surroundings,and will quickly put my shorts back on ,if I feel uncomfortable.Ride nude but be careful.
I used to do it more often, in australia, with our big open spaces, it's pretty safe once you're out of the cities or towns.
But, I had a scare once, I was on one of our major rural highways, with no real quick cover up option having only jeans and a shirt with me (ever tried to get jeans on quick in the driver's seat of a car? I haven't - but imagine that) and I was passing through a tiny town where there is just a fuel station and a shop, and the police were pulling random cars into a parking bay to do breath testing. They were pulling my whole lane in, and I was shitting myself, until they decided they had enough for the time being and let a couple of cars ahead of me, and me, go on our way. I cruised past this traffic cop completely nude with my heart about to leave my chest. So after that I stopped doing it on highways.
I haven't done it for a long time now. I find unless its a really long drive it's just a bit of an annoyance to have to stop, undress, then stop again for anything like major towns or busy areas, or road works, to dress again, even if it is just pulling on a pair of shorts.
Also, I find that you never really know what's going to be around the corner, so you can never 100% relax, and that's tiring too.
I do remember a time when I was pulling an old caravan, and I didn't really trust it to not fall apart on me, so I stopped regularly to walk around it and check it out, it was fun doing that nude, as it was a lovely warm day and it was nice to have that chance to be nude in public, even though I timed my checks between cars going past.
I have driven nude many times in cars and trucks, the longest trip was 350 miles.The most memorable and daring time was on a motorcycle. I rode about 50 miles down I-55 south of chicago, just after I got dressed there was a cop that passed me, he looked at me hard like he was looking for the nude biker. Ther biker fit the discription, but I wasn't nude when he caught up with me. Pure luck.
Another good option when driving a vehicle is a 'kilt like' garment that closes with velcro. A traditional kilt has buckles and straps and is not easy to close when seated but this looks like a kilt so is considered legal clothing. Just sit down, and open it if you want to be naked; flip it closed and press the velcro and you can get right out of your car or truck. Also keeps the sweat off the seat or your butt from sticking to leather seats. I imagine it could also be worn on a bike. Works great unless you're really just looking for the thrill of possibly getting caught.
