I'm A Skinny Dipper!

Just people chatting about Skinny Dipping and the best spots in America or even in your backyard. Welcome to the Group Everyone

My first skinny dipping experience occurred when I was around 12 or 13. Started puberty at 11 and was well on my way towards man-sized equipment by the time of that skinny dipping experience.

A friend had a friend who was watching his neighbor's pool while the neighbors were off on vacation. There were four of five of us there to skinny dip in the pool.

I popped a boner before I could get my clothing off. I found that very embarrassing. Today, it would be a cause of pride. But it was such a non-issue for the other guys. One of them, who noticed my embarrassment said, "Just jerk off and it'll go away." I decided to just ignore it and have fun playing in and around the pool. I don't recall whether the boner went away or not, but (much more importantly) I quit caring about it and just had fun.

Next skinning dipping would have been at Yosemite -- Emerald Pool above one of the falls on the way to Half Dome. After that would have been in the Merced River that runs right through Yosemite. My wife and I and another couple went to Yosemite a few times before we had children. The other guy and I would don shorts, get out into the water, swim to the bottom and grab a rock, pull shorts off, put rock in shorts, and carefully place shorts with rock on bottom of river. Wives enjoying seeing their husbands swimming nude.

There was a golf course near where we lived. I would walk to it at night and skinny dip in the ponds. Took a cousin with me a few times.

Eventually visited a clothing-optional beach.

Eventually joined a men's athletic club in which the pool, sauna, steam bath, and hot tub were all clothing-optional.

RE:Skinny Dipping

It's interesting how it has shifted.My wife, who really doesn't like to see anyone except me nude, male or female, has complained about the nudity in the women's locker room,When I was in high school and college, and a member of a men's athletic club, all the guys were nude without thought -- yes, there may have been the rare exception -- but it was, indeed, a rare exception.

I remember my sisters complaining about having to be very briefly nude while in the locker room. They also said the showers had partial partitions between them that didn't really provide any privacy. My sisters said the real issue was how much, how thoroughly, how openly, and how judgmentally girls/women checked each other out.

But, according the woman I was talking with, nudity in the women's locker room is now essentially the norm and nudity in the men's locker room is shameful and something to be reported to management.

Was wearing just shorts allowed or were shirts required also?

Still curious if you had to wear shirts to exercise at the men's athletic club.
