  • Bodily Functions Can Be Embarrassing

    From a Redditor:

    One that sticks out in my mind was when I was pretty young, like maybe 4th or 5th grade. I was reading some book at home and something in it [visibly aroused me]. It wasn't even anything sexy, just something random, but it did make my parents wonder what the heck I was reading.

  • They Don't Stay Completely Unclothed When It's Cold

    From a Redditor:

    I live in Southern California so it rarely gets too cold. But during the few weeks it does, yeah, we wear more than usual.

  • Dancing Can Get Uncomfortable

    From Redditor /u/mmmelbananas:

    In the last night of our stay they held a dance party - I was wearing a sports bra and spandex shorts and was really feeling some Salt-N-Pepa when a man came over and started to dance in front of me. I was eye-level with his flailing [member]. I didn't quite know what to do. Fortunately, my mother saw this and removed me from the situation.

    It could have been innocent, but I did not feel comfortable with it.

    I would also see illegal photo shoots happening when I would go on nature walks. I knew about Playboy, so I knew what was happening, and that it was against the rules. [Our community] wasn't supposed to be about [being] "sexy" in these places, so these occurrences made me feel unsafe.

  • It Can Be Weird Seeing Crushes

    From Redditor /u/mmmelbananas:

    When I was little I thought [our way of life] was amazing! What's better than being able to run around [without clothes]?

    However, when I was about 11, I was in the swimming pool and I saw a boy I thought was cute over in the hot tub. Now, seeing another kid my age [uncovered] was an infrequent occurrence so it never occurred to me that a boy I thought was cute would be [bare]. Well, he was...

  • It's Sometimes Awkward To Talk About In Public

    From Redditor /u/mmmelbananas:

    Because I didn’t see anything wrong with [being bare] I talked about it to other people. Once my parents told me I wasn’t allowed to talk about it, or other people would act like what I told them was wrong I started to understand. My next door neighbors mother told me that “while it is OK for your family, it is not something most families do or understand - it isn’t a secret, per se, but not something you talk about."

    As a teenager there was much intrigue from my peers, because teenagers love anything that can be considered dramatic.

    Even to this day people don’t respond to it favorably- it is just very unusual, especially where it involves children.

    I grew up near Tahoe so we were at the beach almost every weekend of the summer! I liked the public beaches better because there were other kids (clothed) to play with. Old [unclothed] people are pretty low-key and boring.

  • Certain Sensitive Areas Burn Easily

    From Redditor /u/mmmelbananas:

    The problem with sunning sensitive areas that don't see the sun very often is that they burn, and BAD. I guess men might get sunburns on their nipples (never thought about it until now), but I can tell you I'd prefer NOT to.
