Once in a while when I'm at Padre Island, I'll take a nude stroll on the shore, but it's always at nighttime, when families/kids are almost certain not to be around, and on an area of the beach that not too many people
are at when I do it. Sometimes another nighttime beachcomber or couple strolling by sees me, and so far no one has said anything negative. One young man told me to "put on a thong at least, man" but not in an aggressive tone. I am pleased at the tolerance I've encountered.

Personally, I wouldn't be too offended if I saw you in broad daylight, as long as you didn't point that thing at my head or anything LOL. However, it seems to me like too many people in America have an absolute terror of nudity, especially that of the full-frontal male variety. With that in mind I would confine my nude strolls either to very private, very secluded property or to an area clearly designated clothing-optional. You don't want to become a registered sex offender just because some right-wing bible-nut sees your naked silhouette sauntering down the beach at midnight and decides to get their drawers all up in their crack and call the cops on you. If you are on private property and have the permission of the property owner to be strolling about nude (and you are doing so in a secluded area late in the evening where you have a reasonable expectation of not being seen by anyone) or if you are strolling around in the all-together at noon in an area designated "clothing-optional" no one can give you any trouble.
If you don't leave room for anything stupid, nothing stupid happens!! Unfortunately, stupid people are plentiful and powerful. You kind of have to look at a lot of life through the eyes of an idiot so that you are better able to idiot-proof yourself (kind of like childproofing a kitchen-you need to get down on all fours and see which cleaners and drain clog-removers you would sample first if you were a toddler.)
Check the internet for clothing-optional beaches, parks and/or campgrounds in your area (I can almost guarantee there are AT LEAST one or two within an hour or less of your home) and you will be able to take willy for an unleashed walk any time of day or night without the worry of offending someone or being reported as a pervert menace by the church lady.

If there's an area on Padre Island for nudists, then by all means go for it. Otherwise, you're actually likely breaking the law. I live in the Bay Area (near San Francisco) and there are definitely beaches that are known as nude beaches, and while you don't have to be nude, it is understood that it's OK to be nude. If possible, try to find a beach known for this. If there isn't one around, try to make it late - like between midnight and 5am.
I've encountered many worse things on a beach than a nude person. Best of luck, and glad it's going ok so far.

I think people being more physically "fit" can lead to them being more confident to be naked in front of other people. Most of the guys I know that are more liberal about being naked are ones with good bodies, whilst I hardly ever see an overweight person get naked publicly, for example. But it doesn't lead to exhibitionism, that's quite a different thing. In those more conservative countries, I think they're often not as conservative as people think. Males always have very strong sex drives. If the women in their community aren't very willing to satisfy those, they'll just turn somewhere else. In most of Europe, you can have promiscuous sex and freely talk about it to all your friends, in those countries like India, a lot of the people probably still have promiscuous sex, but have to be a lot more secretive about it, since it's so frowned upon there.

Nudity on public beaches is against the law...go to a nudist resort k.
or better yet, go to Jamaica and visit Hedonism II or III.

Phillip, be honest with me...
Are you moving Sean & Belle into the mansion, so you can try and still Belle back? Or do you want to have first dibbs on finding Claire, so you can steal her away, like you've been planning all along?
I don't think you've changed at all. You're still the same bitter Phillip to me.

I wouldn't have a problem with it.
In general, it has to do with WHERE -- that is, there are nudist beaches.
But it seems to have worked out OK for you thus far.

Nope. It's no big deal to me. And it's kind of a sad reflection on our Society- that it's something you have to worry about...
