Diana and her nymph bathing 1778
Angelica Kaufmann (1741 - 1807)
I am old, I am nudist, I am still exceptional to other expectations more than I can easily list.
I did not get into snorkeling though, but from what I saw, and having read something about nudism in a magazine earlier, I did want to return there again and ultimately did, joining in.
A long time ago now an acquaintance brought me along to where a nude beach was without me being aware of it to start with, to reach a spot for snorkeling.
For change to more acceptance of nudity of anyone within open view I see many more should be shown that simple nudity in view is not harming anyone, not so much as even children, and laws against any simple nudity in view are really arbitrarily favoring a view of some group of people with no constitutional basis.
I have seen communication from an exhibitionist who spoke of going in public with sexual behavior involved in going nude. This is not what we need for more acceptance of nudity that we should have growing.
More recently I have gone to nudist clubs, the landed club no longer exists as a nudist club. And I have gone hiking nude when on my way several times to Deep Creek, a hot springs, with others then, there was a group for that.
In going to a nude beach I have gone by myself, after once being brought along by an acquaintance who did not say it would be at at such beach, when we would be where we could snorkel. I later went with the young woman I was going to marry, and a couple of times with her when we were married. Since then we had moved and I never lived near to where I would go to a nude beach.
