For those of you who have been to a nude beach, what was it like the first time you got naked in front of a *lot* of strangers? How did it feel to be surrounded by strange nudes? (lol)
I've always had a curiosity about it. I can be exhibitionist **to an extent** (ie, belly dancing) but that's not nude. I'm ok with my body as long as I'm clothed, unless it's naked with DH! I'm not ashamed of my body, I'm just not in the habit of appearing in my birthday suit in front of a crowd of strangers! I assume the first time is the hardest. Did you just make up your mind you were going to do it and plunged in? Did it take you some time to feel comfy, did you have to do it in stages? I imagine everyone is different in their approach, but how hard was it for you? Was it a one time thing only (maybe a vacation resort) or something you do/would do on a regular basis? How long did it take you to feel perfectly ok with it?

LIBERATING!
I don't know how *modesty* works, but when it was being handed out, I must have been absent.
It was embarrassing at first, especially in the changing rooms area. A couple of the girls stripped down without a problem, a couple removed their tops but retained their g-strings, and the natural thing for a young guy happened to several of us. However, a few minutes of embarrassment and a cold shower helped.
After that it was OK. Surreal at first but OK. Walking around in public with no clothes is kinda like one of those bad dreams. Once we were outside amongst people it wasn't a big deal. In fact, it was kinda disconcerting to see so many older people that definitely didn't look like they'd stepped out of the pages of a magazine. "Saggy" is the word that comes to mind, and 'sexy' was notably absent.
Us guys didn't have so much of a problem but the girls didn't stay long. Obviously the camp wasn't used to nude teenager girls because the girls got freaked out with all the old guys staring at them.
PS, His pics are cool. I've seen several in magazines, awhile ago.
