I got the rudest stares from some of the other families when I decided to disrobe before trying out a big trampoline at a friend's recent cookout. Am I the crazy one here?

No, you are the sane one, my friend. I can't believe some families are so uptight. Don't they know that naked-man-on-a-trampoline is the new pin the tail on the donkey? Sheesh. I would tell your friend to warn you the next time he puts you in a situation like that. That was a bad call on his part.

There are places you can do that and places you CAN'T. A friends' cook-out is definitely NOT the place to disrobe and bounce around on their trampoline. No one wants to see your junk flopping around there. If you actually did it, you should apologize to your friend if it's not too late. Disrobing is still taboo in public places, therefore, if you do it at home or in a place that allows it, it's OK. In other places, you can get into trouble and even charged with lewd and indecent behavior. Common sense brother.

Just because you think it's ok to view people in the nude doesn't mean everyone else is ok with that concept. There are certain places where it's expected, like a strip club or a porno but taking it to a friend's family cookout is definitely crossing the line. You should spend your time more wisely instead of bouncing your junk around on a trampoline.

Yes, you are the crazy and let me add rude one here.
Here you are, a guest at your friend's cook out.. Not your cook out, but your FRIEND's cook out.. what right do you have to disrobe in front of him and all his guest, and family???
You are the rude one.. do you pick your nose and eat it in front of everyone too??
It would be one thing if it was YOUR cook out. It would be one thing if you ASKED, or LET EVERYONE know what you were doing.. so they could make a choice of leaving or staying..
But you victimized everyone with indecent exposure.. and while you may think we're all prudes out here.. what in the world makes you think that anyone wants to see your naked body?? especially on a trampoline...
When you are a guest at someone's home.. you are a GUEST. That doesn't mean take advantage of them.. it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.. it means you go there and treat the other guests with respect.. it means that you show your host that your honored that he even invited you.
Why in the world would you choose to disrespect your friend and embarrass him in front of his family and friends by disrespecting them.
You are RUDE .

Yes, you are the crazy one. People do not want to see your parts jiggling around. It is called indecent exposure. There is nothing wrong with the naked body at the right time and place. A public cook out is not it.

You sound a little disturbed. If you feel textile-free is something important to you, why not go to clothing-optional recreation areas?
Disrobing in the general public is in very bad form, and is illegal in some places.

If there were kids there under the age of 12, well, you should have re-thought your actions.
There are always going to be people around that don't take your opinion in to reaction.
Be careful!

They obviously haven't even seen a dog or a horse before. It's not like we were meant to wear clothes from the beginning of human history.
EDIT: I'm not saying you should go out and be a nudist, you know, because you might get in trouble.

That probably wasn't the most appropriate place. People in the US are anal (no pun intended) about nudity. We have nude beaches & resorts her in FL. My uncle wants to sunbathe nude in my back yard when he comes for a visit, & I bought bamboo blinds to put around him so no kids see him through the fence. In Europe, it's normal. A lot of the people who patronize our beaches are European tourists. Just consider other people's feelings.

What would make you think, "Mmm...there's a trampoline. I'll think I'll go on that naked"?
Do you have a few screws loose?
