Closeness among guys is central to GC. Hello! My name's Ryan, the founder of Guy Camaraderie. We welcome guys from any background. Whether you identify as straight, gay, bi, or otherwise, there are no expectations or criticisms here. Please allow me to give you a brief overview of the core concepts and philosophy of Guy Camaraderie (or GC for short). The central focus once again is closeness...
who did you unexpectedly get nude with?
Return to DiscussionsWhen did you not expect the opportunity to pop up but when it did you took advantage of it and stripped off with a mate?
One that comes to mind for me was while sailing the Greek islands, with just the captain of the boat and myself, a young couple asked us if they could hitch a ride to the next island. They were bored on the small one where we met them. We agreed and at the Capt's suggestion we dropped sail midway between the 2 and all stripped off for a skinny dip in the bluest deepest water I have ever been in. The swim mask provide a deep down view of nothing but blue blue water and the 4 us all natural. When we climbed out and resumed our sail the rest put something back on but i stretched out on the deck and fell asleep, still bare.
The time that most springs to mind was with my sister. We sunbathed on her hotel balcony. I commented that I preferred to do it naked. She said OK and off came the shorts. On the last day it rained but she still told me to get naked - this time for her to take photos. BTW while we were sunbathing she showed a lot of interest in my intimate parts.
This wasn't a "get nude with" but a "stayed nude with" that was unexpected. I was visiting some nudist friends and a woman friend of theirs dropped over. She's not a nudist but I know she assumed that that they would be nude. She didn't know that they had another guest (me). It's someone I hadn't met, and I think it was the first time that I was introduced to a clothed woman while I was nude. She was perfectly comfortable with it and so was I. I didn't really think about it as a novel experience until later.
My step son and his girlfriend dropped round and asked us if we fancied going on holiday with them. I explained we usually go to a nudist beach location and they both said thats fine so i asked if they are ok with me being naked and they said yes. Off came my shorts
Invited a casual acquaintance (female) to join me in a public hot tub place in a nearby city. Turns out we were the only ones in the tub at one point so I asked if she minded if I got out of the suit (I hate them). She said she did not mind and I quickly slipped out of the suit and stayed nude while soaking and then while sitting in a small, private room (essentially a changing closet just big enough for two) to cool and dry off. She became comfortable enough to remove her top.
I was on my local beach( not nudist ) but often found a quite spot in the dunes to strip off . A young couple came close by so a covered up with part of the towel I was lying on . They must have realised I was sunbathing nude . They walked on , then a few minutes later returned . Decided to settle down just out of sight of me . The guy stood up and asked if I could keep an eye on their belongings while they went for a swim , I was lying on my stomach naked . Told them not a problem . When they returned after a swim , dried off , he asked if it would be ok to join me , on my side of the dune, out of the strong breeze . Not a problem . They could see I was nude . After a while of sunbathing with their swimwear on, he asked if I minded if they striped off as well . Turns out they had never sunbathed nude before , and to start with, both lay on their stomachs . After a while , I rolled over to sit up for a smoke . She was a bit nervous I could see , till she decided to sit up and join me smoking . They were a young couple on their first holiday away together . Turned into a lovely afternoon , often wondered if perhaps they would become nudist together in the future .
I can't recall any instance where I unexpectedly got nude with someone, but I do remember the first times I found myself unexpectedly nude among clothed individuals. The initial visit to a friend's year-round residence at a nudist resort introduced me to scenarios I had never imagined.
After I arrived at the resort and shed my clothes, feeling both appropriately and comfortably nude, my friend took the wheel and drove me around to explore the grounds and amenities. My friend, who seems to be something of a local celebrity, greeted everyone with a wave or a nod. Our first stop was at the row of mailboxes. As we pulled up, I noticed the mailman, fully clothed in his standard uniform, busily sorting letters and parcels into the boxes. It felt surrealafter years of scrambling for shorts or a robe whenever the mailman knocked at home, here I was, completely nude, wondering if this was acceptable. My friend called out to the mailman by name, introduced me, and we shook hands, exchanging everyday pleasantries as if nothing was out of the ordinary. Despite my initial anxiety, the whole interaction felt surprisingly normal, though I couldn't shake the feeling that we might have been bending some kind of unwritten rule.
The following day, as I relax on the deck, I notice a FedEx truck arriving. My immediate reaction is to wrap my towel around myself and head inside. I think I even muttered something about the FedEx delivery as I walked by my friend. The driver approaches, and theres my friend, completely nude, chatting casually while collecting the package. It's true, you do get used to it; people come to the resort for various services and are aware they might encounter nudity. Nonetheless, it was wonderful to be myself without clothed individuals being alarmed by my nudity.
Later in the week, a service technician arrives to repair my friends refrigerator. By this point, I'm no longer a "newbie" to the lifestyle (LOL!), and I'm standing comfortably in the kitchen, completely nude, engaged in a lively conversation with the technician. The technician, unfazed by what could be conceived as an unconventional setting, works diligently, tools clinking softly as we exchange stories and laughter, the atmosphere relaxed and unhurried.
My friend mentioned that occasionally it can be challenging to get certain big-box stores to deliver or arrange for service personnel. However, I eventually appreciated the normalcy of it all, and how people just accepted working around those who were nude!
I was at the local nude beach for the 1st time. Enjoyed myself thoroughly. Later in the day I was walking back from a swim and saw one of my work colleagues, also naked. We chatted for a few minutes and had a nice conversation. Saw each other at work the next week and continued working together for a few years.
