As a frequenter of nude beaches I can attest that a lot of people look worse with than without clothes. So I don't have a list like that, I'm afraid.

Sam Waterson
Jack Nicholson
skinny Lindsay Lohan (I hate when I can see ribs)

Funny thing about nude beaches (and seeing people naked generally) -- some people are much better looking with clothes; some much better without (and a few great either way). Never thought about a list, though it would be long.

Yeesh, aren't people like David Letterman automatically on lists of this sort? Did I really need to think about that?

one thing i've always wondered about nude beaches - do a lot of guys walk around with boners or what?

p&c: no. It's really not sexual at all. I'm sure there are those men that go to nude beaches to ogle women (or men), but for the most part, everyone is average-looking and of varied ages. Not real sexy.

posted by Specklet 21 July | 18:32

Average people look better naked, in my experience. Primpers and groomers tend to groom everything to the point where their naked bodies are just another prepared outfit.

And I find it sexy if I see cleavge on the subway. But I've managed numerous nude beach visits without raising the flagpole.

My problem with nude beaches is that I like tanlines.

posted by nomis 21 July | 19:21

so wear a headband.

posted by jonmc 21 July | 19:26

jonmc, that made me snork aloud.

jonmc, your contributions earn you a promotion from jonmcmahon to jonmccarson... HEY-O!

And, for nude beach tanlines, I prefer belts (but no big metal belt buckles).

And I've visited nude beaches without embarrassment too (except when I went there with my fiancé, but, hey, I was asking for it... besides, that's what the ocean is for.)
