come back to an apartment hot tub with friends after going out. take a girlfriend or boyfriend. or if being seen by someone else is what keeps you from trying it, just try it alone one night! — less Americans than non-Americans? and less younger/college/etc kids than older folk? but we can change that! there's far less freedom to be naked in the land of the free than european countries. random example, in munich germany (pop. 1.4 million), people lay out naked in the grass in the 900 acre Englischer Garten right in the middle of the city. the park is crowded and the area where people are naked is in no way separated from anything or anyone else. there is no signage. no one gets arrested. the park isn't '18 up'. german kids don't stop and stare or become sexual deviants at the sight. people lay out naked in the sun in public as they care to without disturbing anyone. Photo/Website credit: Nomad / Englischer Garten, Munich, Germany You can imagine what would happen if you went and laid out naked in the nearest American public park! Being naked non-sexually doesn't have to be just for Europeans, or for retirees at exclusive AANR nudist resorts. I've gone with friends since we were 16. And you do it too: Since 2002, 813 people have written into swimnaked.com from all 50 states as well as all of these countries!: United Kingdom Australia Venezuela Belgium Canada Uruguay Singapore New Zealand Bangladesh Hong Kong Lebanon Germany Netherlands Norway Greece Czech Republic Japan Spain Sweden Ireland Malta Egypt Poland Philippines Russian Federation Finland Nigeria South Africa Indonesia United Arab Emirates India Portugal France Chile Turkey Italy Congo (Zaire) Argentina Malaysia Korea (South) Pakistan Switzerland Denmark Latvia Albania Zimbabwe Mexico Iceland Lithuania Taiwan find somewhere to swimnaked, and add one more! How well I know people I am around. I would rather do this with people I don't usually hang around with. Toad , age 36 Celina, Ohio February 12, 2004
