Unfortunately, my experience too has been that people most inclined to be exhibitionists have the least appeal to voyeurs. I remember in college on a trip to the Keys we heard about a nude beach near our campground. So, of course, we made it part of our itinerary. Very much not worth it-- not only did the men outnumber women at least 3:1, but all the women were at least old enough to be our mothers and none of them appeared to be fitness freaks or big on grooming.

   I do now though have a very attractive neighbor who likes to garden in her bathing suit. She also has never leaned to bend at the knees when weeding. She is though an exception that proves the rule.

   In response why can't I play naked:  "We've told you before some grown up strangers do bad things to children and just like you should not ever go with a stranger or let anyone touch you,   you need to  keep your clothes on in public  because running around naked in a place like this  might make a bad person notice you."

  If asked what bad things, I'd have just said that some adults hurt little children.

  With younger children,  a simple " no, you can't do that" would suffice and if asked why, "because I said so." Parents don't have to explain or justify everything they do.

Ya know, I put up with a drum corps for 9months on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. It is NOT quiet. They are right across the street and it's bad enough in the winter with the windows closed, in the nice open window weather, OY.  I never complained though, not do I think anyone else did. Why? They were HS kids engaged in an activity. I sucked it up (even though it was basically right outside my office) because I felt it was a worthwhile activity. It's not like they were out causing trouble or anything. Plus, they seemed pretty darn dedicated.

Contemplate on the word, "appropriate." There is a time and a place for everything. Some of the feeble attempts here to legitimize boorish behavior are a little troubling. Do we really want to equate the mean spirited, anti social actions of a floozy and her slug of a husband with Michelangelo's paintings on the Sistine Chapel?

I'm sure every person here is a staunch believer in freedom of expression. Yet we have no problem understanding how wrong it is to disrupt a funeral, for the purpose of making a political point, where a grieving family is burying their soldier son or daughter.

  If you are a person who is intolerant of "bad" behavior by neighbors  then you should probably choose not to live in a heavily populated community. There are lots of cheap places to live out in the sticks. Of course, the sticks also have their drawbacks, but such is life.

In the summer time, it's hot outside.  The more clothes one wears, the hotter it is.  Just because one wears skimpy clothes in the summer does not mean you want to be stared/honked/shouted at.  It means it's hot.  You guys get to walk around topless with nary a care in the world when you overheat.  I get to show some "cleavage" in the name of a cool breeze.

Anyways, my one experience with a nudist was in California when some friends of mine and I went to a beach that we weren't aware was nudist (there were about 2 people other than us at the beach).  We were hiking, so we were fully dressed when a naked guy came up and started talking to us.  I am fine with people being naked at a nudist beach, that doesn't mean I want to be approached by you.  Awkward...

Spent many a lost weekend in my youth cavorting up there before things like having a job interfered with such activities.

I always thought Iowa City was Iowa's answer to Boulder, but in reality, it's more like Greeley in comparision.  

What I saw instead, was the "community standards" argument being invoked, while concomitantly denigrating their humanity.

Hop on any SW Air flight from San Diego to Vegas on a Fri afternoon during the USD school year.
