There are a few to more nude public nude beaches in the US... - Gunninson Beach in Sandy Hook, NJ - Haulover Beach in Northern Miami - Black's Beach in San Diego (anything goes there) I'm sure there are more! America isnt totally prudish!

Western mainland Europe is a lot less prudish than the US.

In France you get shampoo ads that just casually show a boob, in the day time. And topless sunbathing is common around a lot of Europe.

Kind of weird that the article considers that places closer to the west are more open to nudism. The west is prude?

> The west is prude?

The anglosphere most certainly is.

If you need convincing, just look at the pics in the article: not a single full frontal.

Somewhat rambling rant:

I feel like there was this great period from about 1950 to the mid 70s (I wasnt born until mid 80s) where people tried new and different things. Everything from nudism to environmentalism to living in communes to drugs and sex.

And now we're all back to doing the same BS things as the next guy and trying to be 1% more efficient than the next guy. Make sure you fit in. Join an HOA because you want your property price to rise as much as possible even though you don't care about lawns and picket fences. Don't have a hole in your CV, how will you explain taking 6m off to backpack Europe in your 30s!?

And I just think fuck all this shit.

I’m currently on a camping in Croatia, it’s so hot even swimming trousers feel sticky and irritating. It would be more comfortable just to be nude. FKK still seems to be booming here, I noticed huge campings, 2000 or more spots, lots of facilities, all FKK. Also spend many holidays as a kid on an FKK camping in Yugoslavia, wasn’t always easy, especially as a adolescent (always bring a towel), but it always felt like…

Don't you get sunburn though? When it's really hot I actually tend to cover up _more_ (with thinner, lighter clothing naturally).

I actually got my backside pretty badly sunburnt nude on a beach and I quickly, and painfully, learnt how you pretty much use it constantly.

Also, I've yet to work out the correct edicate for the (very necessary) process of applying sunscreen to your genitals on the beach, especially in mixed company.

It's never been more acceptable to do things like quit your job and become a digital nomad for a few years.

Cannibals is legal in parts of the US, and the richest person on earth is as famous for doing interviews high as the number of companies he runs.

And Feeld makes the NewYorker as in a story about how it lets you easily organise threesomes or find a fetish partner.

Open your eyes a bit - the world has never been as encouraging of trying different things as now.
