What Kind of Things Would You like to See in a Novel about a Shy Embarrassed Naked Man?

@CuttingEdge
The hardest challenge I think, would literally be in being hard. Or at least at certain times. It happens, and even in nudist colonies a towel is usually brought everywhere in case a man gets hardened, they can cover up. As a male yourself you know; our appendages have a mind of their own sometimes. It can be offensive to women when we are hard at certain times when we should not be... or at least they think we should not be, and yet soft at other times when we should be hard. Dealing with the unpredictability of that would be more difficult for me then in being naked.

That would actually be one of the more mortifying things in this scenario for my character who is based on me. The thing about this scenario that it is so humiliating and embarrassing but part of that is what is so titillating about it. So the horror of the situation was that while I was simultaneously dying of embarrassment that embarrassment would probably be making me aroused and it would be obvious to others that I was getting aroused by being embarrassed which would just make the situation so much more horrible.

Like I know that a lot of people can view nudity as nonsexual but I think that the majority of people can't disassociate from that, so the difficulty of this scenario is that it would be kind of hard to have a neutral encounter with a dressed woman. There would always be that feeling of tension and it would be a very charged situation and if she makes it worse by taking advantage of the situation or lording it over me the fact that she could wear clothing that would make it even more difficult to overcome.
When I am naked even when I am completely and alone I feel incredibly vulnerable and submissive and uncomfortable and when you are naked there is just that feeling of being viewed as a sexual being. That is something I am totally not use to and it's weird to think that that would be the first thing that most people think of whenever they see me.
But yet I am fortunate. The one thing that is unchangeable for guys that might not be flattering is not something I struggle with. I am no Johnny Holmes (he had 12 inches of length), but I am pretty endowed nonetheless. Three women in my life, when they first saw me naked have said, “oh my gosh, it will never fit”. While that was not the case, and my personality is such that I would never openly flaunt or boast about what God formed me in the womb with, I am not ashamed of my length or girth either. So with those factors, I would tolerate compulsory nudity 24/7 better than say an unendowed beta male.
I am exactly average size and I never really felt insecure about that, but I think I would be insecure about the fact that everybody could see my genitals every time that they saw me. It would be an awkward thing trying to have a conversation with a dressed woman where she is staring down at your genitals.

Like it was funny because I remember this girl that I knew in college and one day she was wearing like this really revealing shirt that made her cleavage so obvious and you don't want to stir because you don't want to seem like a pig and yet it so very obvious. I think I was going to have a funny scene in my novel like that where some guy has a female friend like that and he sort of stares at her cleavage but then he comes down with the nudity virus and while he is trying not to look at her cleavage she is having no problem looking him up and down and smiling profusely.

But wow you gave me a lot of food for thought about this and you can see that I respond and extensively but you can see I have thought about this scenario a real lot. As a person who spends most of my time alone in my own house I feel on the one hand I would perhaps be able to better adapt myself to this situation, but on the other hand due to my shy awkward personality and my sense of humor about these things and my reputation that it would probably be a lot more difficult for me to deal with than the average person and that is where I think that the story becomes interesting.

Like I have often said seeing some type of exhibitionist being stuck being a public nudist, not that interesting. Seeing a shy awkward person who find that this whole concept hilarious as an observer but mortified by it if a participant it would be great to see how they would deal with that as that's where all of the tension and excitement of it comes from.

So you have to scenario actually did happen it would be humiliating beyond words to be experiencing it but at the same time as a person who previously spent my entire life alone and in my house out of the public view to suddenly being that guy everybody's whistling at down the street and making jokes about, well I'll say one thing it would definitely be a lot more interesting than my life now and I think that this whole situation would bring a lot of fun to the world even while it was mortifying beyond words for those experiencing it as the naked people.

I am literally like the last person you could picture voluntarily putting myself into a situation like this so to have it forced upon me would be incredibly interesting and incredibly entertaining for everybody who happens to be around me and that is the interesting thing to explore. As most of the people around me would say, couldn't happen to a more interesting person or perhaps a more deserving person.
 
We can take this to private messages if you want, just so we do not take up valuable space on the public viewed forum.

But that being said, I would be wary of self-imposed labels like referring to yourself as weird. We all are in our own way, and each of us have dark thoughts. As a writer of eight, real, mainstream non-sex related novels, I have written about murder, vengeance, theft and other acts of violence against people, but they are just stories that entertain, and in real life I have never struck anyone, nor would I. They are just stories after all, and only when a person feels compelled to act upon these thoughts should they seek a therapist.

And the fact that you are virgin is not as uncommon as you think. My girlfriend is one of four friends, and of those four, one is married and has only been with her husband all her life. The other two ladies are virgins…and they are fifty-year-old ladies. I am not saying that is typical; it’s not, but often not knowing other people’s situations, people think they are “weird”. or the only one who has not done something, and that is just not true.

The beauty of writing is, that through research and putting 26 letters to paper in different arranged ways, we can explore without physically doing so. As an example, I have written a whole novel based on Vladivostok, Siberia… but have never been there. Another novel about Cambridge Bay, but again, I have never been there. For you it is the same thing, through the written word, and by research, you are experiencing public nudity without actually doing so, and that is a good thing. It is creative, but that is the magic of writing; it’s the ultimate con artist game, though well-crafted words you make people feel they are someplace they are not, visualizing a situation that is completely made up. The better a writer is, the more immersed the reader feels.

Really what you are exploring is fear.

In some regards I am the person to discuss this with, and in some ways not. Being a sigma male, I tend to be quite confident in myself, but it is not from arrogancy, but an analytical way of looking at things. My girlfriend for instance, is petrified of height and it amazes her that I work at extreme height in my job and with high voltage electricity. That amazes her, but the saying goes, “a man destined to die by firing squad does not need to fear the noose”. What that means is, if I am destined to die in a plane crash, why am I worried about falling off a tower? Since I do not know how I am going to die, I take precautions while at height, I am not reckless, nor do I grab a 350,000 kilovolt line without the right gear, but what is there to fear? The chances of falling or being electrocuted are extremely low if you were to crunch the numbers.

It is the same for me with public nudity. I do make the assumption here that when you say compulsory, it means just that, that there is no way out of it. But if I had to, then I would just make the best of it. I could see where for many people having other people taking pictures of their nudeness would be a concern, but not really a concern for me. If my nakedness brought them sexual pleasure when they got home, so be it, I would be glad I could derive that pleasure for them. And if I was plastered my picture all over the internet, well it was forced public nudity so what could I do about it? I am not proud of my flaws, but how could I prevent people from looking? In that, it’s upon them if they do. It was like that with an ex-wife who often wore revealing clothes while on date nights. People asked if it bothered me that she probably had her picture taken. Why would that bother me? She will never see them again, so if they took a photo and went home and touched themselves in pleasure, good for them. She is not hurt. She dressed to impress, and its wrong to thing others won’t take notice, or take pictures to view later.

Facial recognition is another whole matter however…

I do admit I have never done true public nudity as you have described, but I have some semi-public nudity, and it is kind of unique. At first, and at times I have thought, “oh my gosh I am totally naked and everyone can see”, and yet my thoughts slowly forget that I am without clothes and I start to wonder how that salmon and green beans is going to taste for my upcoming dinner. It is this strange back and forth of complete awareness of nudity, and then none at all. There really is not this indifference to it, and I think that complete awareness, and then forgetting you are naked, is what is the draw for nudists. For exhibitionists, it is a bit different because its all about the thrill of being nude.

If you would prefer that would be fine, although by posting on the main board may be other people would want to join in with the conversation.

But that being said, I would be wary of self-imposed labels like referring to yourself as weird. We all are in our own way, and each of us have dark thoughts. As a writer of eight, real, mainstream non-sex related novels, I have written about murder, vengeance, theft and other acts of violence against people, but they are just stories that entertain, and in real life I have never struck anyone, nor would I. They are just stories after all, and only when a person feels compelled to act upon these thoughts should they seek a therapist.
By anyone's standards I would be considered exceptionally bizarre, whenever someone says weird I take it as a contest. I've so far published about 60 books ranging from novels, novellas and story collections and pretty much all of them are sci-fi, horror or speculative fiction of some kind, and even for that particular genre they are very weird. Like even the titles alone you see these titles and you are like this is an actual book?! I also write lots of Bizarro. Like have you ever heard of Carlton Mellick? That's not me but friends have asked if he was me!

So anyone who knows me knows that I'm probably the weirdest person there ever going to meet in life because if someone's weird I take it as a personal challenge to be weirder. But I guess that I publish the erotica under a pseudonym because to me that feels more personal because you really can't write that stuff without giving away all of your sexual interest other people. Yes there's lots of sex and craziness in the stuff I publish under my own name, but it's not specifically erotica or something with a very fetish scene that basically gives away that I have a fixation on something like that.

But yeah given that I write the weirdest most bizarre graphic and over-the-top stuff you would think that I'm probably some type of really uninhibited person but the truth is I am very dull, very private and outwardly speaking very nonsexual.

So you picture you have this friend then who goes to the greatest degrees to be as weird as possible to always try to up the ante it's sort of humorous to learn that this person is actually incredibly shy, totally inexperienced with sex or nudity or anything of that nature and is actually very inhibited and personally uptight about these matters in spite of the fact that I write about them graphically in fiction, fiction being the key word here as you said. Simply because you write about something in fiction doesn't mean that you would do it in real life.

And that is precisely why I think that for somebody who knows me to find out that this person of extraordinary weirdness who cultivates weirdness, to think they of all people is now forced to become a public nudist it's just like anyone who knows me would be like oh my God of all the people to possibly find themselves in this insane situation that is just like probably the least likely person that you could picture in that situation and perhaps for that reason the person that would be most entertaining to see in that situation.

I mean I don't know if you can relate in that regard. It's like I think everybody knows somebody who is considered a little bit weird or nonconformist and I think that there is sort of that assumption that they would probably embrace every weird thing in the world, so for them to be foisted in a situation as humiliating as being a public nudist, again it's like the perfect set up for a joke, I mean them of all people to be in that situation it's like the universe was trying to write a funny novel around their life.

I just wanted to basically get it across that among my family and friends, and my friends are also pretty weird, I am considered like the weirdest of the weird, so I think that there would be less sympathy in that regards because they figure well he's weird you'll probably embrace some weird thing like being a public nudist, but the thing is I'm also very shy and awkward. So yeah it's one thing to be weird because you write a lot of weird and interesting things, it's another thing to be weird because you write a lot of weird and interesting things and you're also the only one in your friend group who doesn't get to wear clothing ever!

Again though that's sort of like the fun of the situation for the people who get to stay dressed. Like for female friends it's probably a real hoot to think hey my weird guy friend, the socially awkward nerdy guy was always trying to be the weirdest one, now he doesn't get to wear clothing and everywhere we go together it's just going to be like one endless parade of entertainment for them. I'd just never hear the end of the hey guess who's naked jokes. I have a good sense of humor but as the person used to making the jokes that'd be hard to take.

That's actually one of the things that would be especially frustrating especially at the beginning of this. Basically everybody would be having a grand old time joking about all of the naked men and it's the kind of thing I would love to joke about that when you are the naked guy you don't make the jokes you were the focus of the jokes. And it's not like it would ever be different where suddenly my female friends are the ones naked instead, now it would basically just be one endless parade of he's naked jokes and never the opposite way around!
And the fact that you are virgin is not as uncommon as you think. My girlfriend is one of four friends, and of those four, one is married and has only been with her husband all her life. The other two ladies are virgins…and they are fifty-year-old ladies. I am not saying that is typical; it’s not, but often not knowing other people’s situations, people think they are “weird”. or the only one who has not done something, and that is just not true.
I've never been formally diagnosed but I do think I am almost certainly on the autism spectrum so that's probably a major reason. Once again though the irony of the situation though is that if you were going around naked everywhere you probably get a lot of sexual attention and it would probably be from rather weird people who are attracted to the novelty of somebody being forced to be naked in public all the time!

The better a writer is, the more immersed the reader feels.
This is indeed very true. A lot of the times they tell you to write what you know but if you write science fiction and speculative fiction the way I do you basically writing about things that nobody has actually experienced before. But there was one sci-fi writer who gave a great piece of advice, I think it was Ray Bradbury but I'm not positive, but they said that people will buy into a far out premise if everything else is believable within the confines of that premise.

So yeah the idea of a nano virus that can keep you specifically from wearing clothing that only affects 1% of men released by a radical feminist terrorist group is probably a pretty far-fetched notion, but then if you try to think about how realistically that would play out even in spite of the absurd premise you think of all these different aspects of it both in society at large and in your life personally if you were to experience this. I want to start thinking about it you think of so many ideas like how this would affect politics, religion, social relations, sexual relations and all of these other things and soon you find you have all of these aspects that you want to explore with it.

Again when you take a premise like this at first it seems trivial. Okay so 1% of men are forced to go naked in public, with that really transform society in a major way? And I think come on, if that happened it would probably be the biggest and most entertaining story in the history of the world! Everybody would be talking about it and for the people affected it would obviously be a pretty huge change. Most people probably have never thought about that but if you really think about it the thought of being publicly naked all the time while almost everyone else you know gets to stay dressed, I think that the average person doesn't realize just how unbelievably frustrating and embarrassing that would be for like the vast overwhelming majority of people who are not naturally nudists.

And I really do want to emphasize that last part, even in places where clothing is optional unless you are specifically going there for that reason the majority of people, like probably 99% of people would be wearing clothing so if you were the person who wasn't you really stand out like a sore blushing from!

And I once again think about it from my own point of view basically. Again I think every authors characters are little bit of themselves, but in this case I am thinking what would I do specifically in a situation like that and just how frustrating and insane it would all be.

And going back to what I was saying earlier about being the weird one in most groups that I have been a part of I can imagine how someone like me specifically would find this especially excruciating and frustrating and embarrassing in ways that it might not be for the average person that I think will play well to my characters story arc so to speak in various different parts of the story.

Like one of the first things is that while I would be sympathetic if this happened to people at the same time I fully admit that I have sort of an immature attitude about this. If I were one of the non-afflicted I would probably be finding it hilarious for something like this to be happening and it's the tailor-made thing that somebody like me would joke about and have a grand old time with, so it's a little bit of a story of poetic justice in the first instance.

So my character would naturally find this amusing like I would and all of his friends share sort of an immature joking attitude towards this thing, so like I said if something like this happened everyone would be thinking of me the weird one and being thinking you know who's going to find this completely hilarious. So you can imagine how hilarious they would find it when it turns out I am one of the afflicted when the odds against that are literally 100 to 1, once again couldn't happen to perhaps a more deserving person in that regard.

And it's precisely because I would find a situation like this so entertaining from an ivory tower standpoint of not being affected, it's more entertaining for everybody else the fact that I would be the one forced to experience the very thing that I would find amusing if it was happening to others. Again poetic justice.

And I think that for me it would be a special form of frustration if you really think about it. Like I was saying because I find it so hilarious you can imagine the special frustration of finding yourself in this situation in a world where everybody you know, everybody in society at large is finding this whole thing a laugh riot and you are stuck dealing with being the butt of every joke while dealing with the practical and humiliating aspects of this.

And the absolute worst thing I think it the fact that one it is permanent, and to that it's entirely one-sided. Like I said I would find this hilarious if I wasn't the one who's naked ass was on display! So you can imagine how frustrating it would be that every time I happen to get together with female friends they're going to have an endless variety of fun joking about it. You can exactly joke about the hilarity of the naked guys if you are the one that everybody is joking about! And it's not like the next day it's going to be them naked and you getting to keep your clothing on, nope it's literally for the rest of your life every time you go out with them they get the novelty of laughing it up at the fact that their friend is naked and always on the receiving end of the joking and the embarrassment and never on the giving end.

Then there was the second special frustration where you figure that the people who are natural nudists would be celebrating this because now they can celebrate their lifestyle and practice it however they see fit, but it's exactly because of that it's at the expense of the people who has to go naked who have now had this lifestyle foisted upon them. So yes they are your main allies but at the same time you feel frustrated over the fact that you have to live their lifestyle where they get to live it more casually. I couldn't think of anything more frustrating than going around naked with a group of naturalists who decide to keep their clothing on in certain situations!

So yeah when you think of all the ways this could logically play out it really does get interesting and then you think about how it would be the focus of everyone in society and you would be sort of at the center of that. It's one thing to be joking about hearing about something like a bunch of men being rendered permanently naked, but when you are one of those people and everybody else is talking about you like that it makes the awkward situation even more awkward than it already was!

So yes it's a lot of fun to get in the head of a character who is experiencing this situation of pure frustration and madness, being made to experience the very thing that they would love to see happen to others! Once again, total poetic justice. Something I really like in stories but when it's happening to someone who's basically you it really feels rather maddening!

She dressed to impress, and its wrong to thing others won’t take notice, or take pictures to view later.
You now this is a very interesting observation because I come from the same standpoint. As a person with an INFJ or sigma personality I tend to view everything in an extremely intellectual way, hyper analytical and everything like that. And on an intellectual level I know that yes it shouldn't be a big deal, there's nothing weird about the human body, it should be considered to be natural to be naked, and I've even said numerous times that I think there's nothing wrong with a person being a nudist or anything like that, and yet social conditioning runs very deep doesn't it?

It's one thing to be fine with other people doing something but then there is a difference when you are the one who has to do it especially when you didn't particularly choose to. And I think because I am hyper socially aware of everything it would make it even worse because every little glance every little smirk every little social interaction would be causing my head to be swimming with assumptions and overthinking everything because once again you can never really escape from the fact that every social interaction with another person is sort of colored by the fact that once again you are naked and they are dressed.

And the thing is that perhaps pictures wouldn't be that bad. Again on an intellectual level I totally get where you are coming from. It would be great to think again that all of these pictures are giving women so much great pleasure. Once again I think that that's where sort of your attitude conflicts with your personal values and idealism. On an intellectual level I would be like this is a wonderful thing for women because that women are getting to experience their sexuality and getting to enjoy naked men, and yet at the same time when you are one of those naked people and you see them gushing about how great it is all these guys are stuck being naked you sort of our trembling with embarrassment because it's almost like a snarky little thing where there sort of inadvertently taking a dig at you. It's like yes you are happy for them but they are getting to look where you are the one who has to be on display all the time!

To me it would be a more awkward thing to be say naked in pictures of people that you know who are dressed. It would feel weird to say be with a bunch of female friends who are fully dressed while you are naked and they are snapping selfies of you together and then perhaps posting them to the Internet later and all of their friends are seeing and so on and so forth. It makes your very private existence now very public where every single person that you know now knows exactly what you look like and has the pictures to prove it.

Again on an intellectual level you are glad that it's bringing so much joy to women and at the same time you just can't shake that feeling of overwhelming embarrassment that every woman you know gets to see you and not the other way around!
 
@CuttingEdge
I do admit I have never done true public nudity as you have described, but I have some semi-public nudity, and it is kind of unique. At first, and at times I have thought, “oh my gosh I am totally naked and everyone can see”, and yet my thoughts slowly forget that I am without clothes and I start to wonder how that salmon and green beans is going to taste for my upcoming dinner. It is this strange back and forth of complete awareness of nudity, and then none at all. There really is not this indifference to it, and I think that complete awareness, and then forgetting you are naked, is what is the draw for nudists. For exhibitionists, it is a bit different because its all about the thrill of being nude.
Again I think that that's a pretty important distinction here. Nudists feel comfortable being naked and they don't find anything necessarily sexually charged about it. They could easily be going around naked and think nothing of the fact that they were naked because to them it feels natural.

But once again, and is perhaps as much due to societal conditioning as anything, the majority of people are not nudist and the majority of people are not exhibitionists. Like I said again the interesting thing about seeing someone like me and this is that I am probably the last person you would probably ever picture being a public nudist or anything like that.

One of the conflict for me is that yes I would definitely find it a titillating situation even though it's not a situation that I want to be in. In fact that's precisely why it would be exhilarating and intense is because it pushes you so far out of your comfort zone as to be almost unimaginable.

I once again I feel it's like being taken out of an ivory tower and thrust into a situation beyond your comfort zone. Intellectually speaking yes I don't think there's anything wrong with nudity or anything wrong about it or other people being naked, and yet that doesn't change the fact that my core I am a deeply shy inhibited very private individual. Like I said most people tend to regard me as sort of an asexual nerd and intellectual and I think one of the big things that would be hard to deal with is that in a situation where you are a public nudist that is the first and foremost thing that everyone associates you with. You are not being viewed as a full person you are being viewed as a naked body. And again I don't consider myself particularly attractive but at the same time when a person is naked that sort of supersedes anything else.

I once again do think of it from the opposite perspective. Situation reversed if I saw some type of woman of average level attractiveness or even minor attractiveness naked and embarrassed in public I would still definitely take notice. I wouldn't be mean to her or anything, but I would definitely notice and I would find it amusing. It was a personal friend I put probably tease them a little, but I would feel probably just as awkward about them being naked almost as much is I would.

However when it's the difference situation when it's you it's totally a different ballgame. Having a few laughs at the expense of a naked person in public and perhaps immaturely enjoying this is one thing, when you are that person and you experience that everywhere you go all the time and that's the main thing people associate with you maybe in time you would get used to it to some degree but I feel that I would never overcome my innate shyness and embarrassment over the situation, nor would I get over the finality and inescapable nature of the situation that is so one-sided.

And the thing about it is once again I can understand what it would be like because I can see it from the other perspective. You can imagine a female friend of varying attractiveness or female friends of various attractiveness and imagine what it would be like if they were naked all the time and how even if you were nice to then you would still probably be enjoying the fact that you have a naked woman around and that you get to see her and perhaps poke fun at the hilarity of the situation.

But now flip that thing on its head and picture those friends of yours that you would enjoy seeing naked and laughing about it and now think that they are the ones getting to see you all the time, and it's never going to be the other way. For the rest of your life everyone knows you as that weird guy, not no longer because they write a lot of weird stuff but you're going to be known as the weird guy who was blushing and cringing in public naked everywhere he goes and everybody is having a grand old time at his expense. Essentially forever the butt of the joke and never the one doing the laughing except perhaps in a self-deprecating manner.

So yeah maybe over time it would become more normalized, but it would basically be a new pecking order that you were forever on one side of, being naked becomes the defining part of your life and every time you meet new people and every time you go out and interact with other people you are constantly reminded of this and never able to forget. Now that is a total mind fuck!
 
We are quite different in personality, which is perfectly fine as the world would be boring if we were not. I say that because while I do like Ray Bradbury's writings, and do agree with him in his methodology of generating acceptance by readers of fantasy writing, my writing is the polar opposite. I try to really convey a sense of reality to my stories. In a novel it is making very complex characters that have a believable amount of talent and flaws so that when the reader is done, yeah, the tale is wild enough to be entertaining, but also believable. With erotic stories it gets a bit harder because as the saying goes, “porn; stuff that would never happen to you in real life”. I take it as a challenge to make erotic wring believable, or at least, plausible, but again that is me.

For me and my style of writing, if I was to write clothed female/naked male; rather than focus upon a segment of the male population that must be naked all the time, I might focus on one guy being naked in public in a more realistic sort of way. It might be a husband that loses a bet to his wife, and must be completely naked for a stroll down to the end of the street. Or maybe at a woman’s prison there is a riot and a hated guard is forced to be naked with him knowing the camera system is taken over and being watched by everyone outside the prison walls. In either situation I would focus on his thoughts, humiliation and maybe even acceptance of being naked in a singled-out situation. Either way, there has to be some 180 degree shift from the start of the story to the end, otherwise what would be the point of the story at all. It need not be about a male going from humiliation to acceptance, though it could be, but there must be change within the main character.

I read somewhere that if something is both terrifying to you, but also exciting: do it. Public nudity is a little different because it can be against the law and there are some consequences for breaking laws. But the statement does hold true. I find my job fascinating, although I was not sure I could do it at first because of the shear danger of it, but I am also experiencing life that few people get to do. I have been told I am “fearless”, but that really is not me at all. I feel fear all the time, which is what I actually like, kind of like how darkness brings out the light, well knowing you are in a dangerous position constantly makes you acutely aware of life. Public nudity could be like that for some people. I could easily see where if a man decided to go nude for the first time, then a random lady came over to him and jerked him off, that would be an addiction they could never get over. How could he? He would constantly be wondering, “if I go naked in public, will that happen again?” There is only one way to answer that question, and that is to try it. A forever addiction...

We are quite different in personality, which is perfectly fine as the world would be boring if we were not. I say that because while I do like Ray Bradbury's writings, and do agree with him in his methodology of generating acceptance by readers of fantasy writing, my writing is the polar opposite. I try to really convey a sense of reality to my stories. In a novel it is making very complex characters that have a believable amount of talent and flaws so that when the reader is done, yeah, the tale is wild enough to be entertaining, but also believable. With erotic stories it gets a bit harder because as the saying goes, “porn; stuff that would never happen to you in real life”. I take it as a challenge to make erotic wring believable, or at least, plausible, but again that is me.
Seeing how different personality types respond to an extraordinary situation is actually what makes things very interesting. Again I am mostly a writer or speculative fiction, I write a little bit in all genres but even in other genres like erotica I often incorporate some type of speculative element.

But again like I was saying I don't think that there is a conflict between realism even within a speculative premise that could be rather far-fetched (although what a person considers far-fetched is a matter of opinion, with me the bar is raised pretty high so I could see this somehow taking place in some type of distant future as unlikely as it sounds).

Why I think that you can make something like this believable is to make it exactly not like it is porn. My character is not an exhibitionist or anything like that, he's based off of me, painfully shy, so the interest of the story is seeing how the character will change and grow and deal with a situation that is a total opposite of everything that is his natural tendency.

And yeah it probably wouldn't be like a porno in reality as a person like that in a naked and vulnerable position would probably mostly just find it results in a lot of socially awkward situations that are tinged with sexual tension because of the fact that he is naked and that others are dressed. That's where you can kind of make it realistic, about all of the absurd, awkward and humorous situations that a person like that would find themselves in and how they would deal with the embarrassment of experiencing those situations, again taking from a character standpoint that is basically based off of me and what I think I would do in a situation like that. So it's a very personal novel in that regard.

For me and my style of writing, if I was to write clothed female/naked male; rather than focus upon a segment of the male population that must be naked all the time, I might focus on one guy being naked in public in a more realistic sort of way. It might be a husband that loses a bet to his wife, and must be completely naked for a stroll down to the end of the street. Or maybe at a woman’s prison there is a riot and a hated guard is forced to be naked with him knowing the camera system is taken over and being watched by everyone outside the prison walls. In either situation I would focus on his thoughts, humiliation and maybe even acceptance of being naked in a singled-out situation. Either way, there has to be some 180 degree shift from the start of the story to the end, otherwise what would be the point of the story at all. It need not be about a male going from humiliation to acceptance, though it could be, but there must be change within the main character.
I guess great minds think alike because it's funny you should mention that first scenario is going to be the basis of another novel idea I had that was more realistic and that it didn't contain any speculative elements. It was going to be about a husband-and-wife who learn that nudity has been legalized in their city and they get in an argument over who would have a harder time dealing with being naked in public a man or a woman, so they basically bet that they will do everything naked in public and the first one who gives up and puts on clothing has to be naked for a month while the other one gets to be dressed.

But that one doesn't have anywhere near the personal intensity of the other scenario. For me the situation where the nudity is basically involuntary completely, there's no way of escaping from it, is what makes the situation so intense and embarrassing because there is literally no escape from it and they are forced to deal with it and to me that's where the interest lies.

For me a situation like that would be both transformative of society as a whole as well as an intense transformative thing for those directly affected. And I do think the character growth is important over the Ark of time as I think that that is always the case, but I also tend to think that there are some things that are sort of an eight to the character and that won't change with experience.

So when I think of myself in a situation like that eventually I would adapt, probably use self-deprecating humor to cope, but it still wouldn't change the fact that I still find the whole situation embarrassing. I feel like even if I lived with it for a decade or more I would still probably be blushing and cringing every time I left the house and every time I interacted with a dressed woman. But the key is that the character eventually is forced to deal with it and basically accept that he is stuck being naked in public forever and there's no way around that.
 
I read somewhere that if something is both terrifying to you, but also exciting: do it. Public nudity is a little different because it can be against the law and there are some consequences for breaking laws. But the statement does hold true. I find my job fascinating, although I was not sure I could do it at first because of the shear danger of it, but I am also experiencing life that few people get to do. I have been told I am “fearless”, but that really is not me at all. I feel fear all the time, which is what I actually like, kind of like how darkness brings out the light, well knowing you are in a dangerous position constantly makes you acutely aware of life.

I could easily see where if a man decided to go nude for the first time, then a random lady came over to him and jerked him off, that would be an addiction they could never get over. How could he? He would constantly be wondering, “if I go naked in public, will that happen again?” There is only one way to answer that question, and that is to try it. A forever addiction...
You see to me that's the interesting thing of this scenario. Like I have said already everybody who knows me knows that I'd probably be the last person who becomes a public nudist voluntarily, so seeing that forced on a person and seeing how they have to deal with it is to me the entertaining thing.

And yes in a situation like that it would be definitely a fear situation that over time you would have to gradually start to get use to, and it would be very much and exhilarating thing even as it is familiar 80 simply because it's so intense made more intense by the fact that I would never willingly put myself in that situation but find myself in that situation regardless as I feel that the unexpected situations that you can't avoid are the ones that are the more interesting because there is no escape from them.

And yes in a scenario like that I think that there would be lots of people who would say that the naked people were incredibly brave but I think that there would also be just because of the humorous nature of a public nudist a lot of people who would probably be dismissive of what a struggle it would be, like I said around the people around me they basically consider me weird and embracing every sort of deviant thing so seeing me being a public nudist they would probably think it's no big deal even though for me it would probably be a much bigger deal than most.

But again I don't think it would probably be a situation where women were jerking off guys in public like that as a general rule, like I said if it's realistic it probably wouldn't be like a porno.

One thing that I think would actually change though is that especially in the beginning but probably perpetually from then on for heterosexual women it probably would be a grand time to be alive getting to see so much naked male flesh on display and I think that for a lot of them it would almost be like a party atmosphere of with singling and hollering and having a grand old time with it.

And that again is an interesting central conflict for me. As a very progressive minded feminist, somebody who like seeing women enjoying themselves and openly expressing their sexuality without shame I would have to agree that it was a good thing overall, except that the reality of it would just be so incredibly humiliating and difficult to get used to. I feel that women have had to put up with so much sexual objectification for so long that a guy experiencing that would just have to grow a thicker skin and suck it up, when it's you in that situation it's not quite so easy!

So yes while I would be happy for all of the women in my life, even the ones with a really dark sense of humor, suddenly going from being the shy awkward type who keeps out of the spotlight to suddenly being the main focus of sexual objectification in society at the hands of women, it would certainly be a conflict that is difficult to deal with.

And I think that one of the dark potentials of this are also interesting to explore. I think that until you are put in a really weird situation like this with people that you know you never know exactly how they are going to react. And while I think that my friends would probably react mostly with humor and sympathy, at the same time there could be a couple of people who never viewed you in that light but now suddenly seeing you exposed like that all the time find something irresistible about taking full advantage of the situation, and dealing with that, well that makes for some good drama in a story!

So all you say you would be brave in a situation like this and you probably wouldn't let it bother you, one question you do have to ask yourself is just how do you think the women in your life would really respond if you found yourself constantly vulnerable before them and exposed all the time and knowing that there is no going back?

You make a valid point, and to be honest with you, I have considered your question over the past few days. While I tend to work alone, and in very secured locations from the general public, I have often thought; ‘what if I had to be naked right now? Or an hour later; right then? Or an hour after that; right then?’ A lot of the time I would be very embarrassed, which is what you story/novel idea explores naturally.

In reviewing my previous made replies I think my point was made, and still is valid: I think I would have an easier time then most people, but that is not to say that it would be easy. As a sigma male, I reflect on internal thoughts and motivations a lot, which is often confused for arrogancy. I am not that way at all, but if I was one of the 1 percent of your novel’s time period and world where I had to be naked, I would have to constantly wonder, ‘how do I feel about being naked, right here… right now?’

Honestly, it would change depending on factors.

It really follows the four w’s: who, what, where, and when. Why was already explained away as being an illness that required nudity. But the others; who I was talking to while naked? Or, what I was doing while naked? Or, where was I when I conversed with other people while naked? Or when did those conversations took place when I was naked? All would all play a part in my feelings at being without clothing, not to mention the self-awareness of my nudity as I got lost in conversation, or so engaged in what I was doing, that I momentarily forgot I was naked, then reverted back to the glaring part that I was!
 
But a person need not have to go all in to get the experience of what you suggest; they can dip their toes in this realm without being fully naked in public. A famous exhibitionist often uses various types of pantyhose to get the exhibitionistic feelings she craves, without fully being nude. As she changes the opacity of her pantyhose, she makes the public experience more intense, or less as she shows more or less of herself. For men, we can do something similar, as leggings are now unisex in nature and no longer a woman-only sort of attire. With that in mind, try wearing leggings in various degrees of public display, which could be as bold as going into a sandwich shop, or something more tame like letting your neighbors see you in them as you mow the lawn. If a person finds leggings tame, buy a black pair of tights and wear those in either situation, or for a less intense experience than any of those, just go barefoot in a place that you normally would not, like an abandoned building or something.

The latter works because really it is all about various levels of vulnerability. Your story idea goes to the extreme, no-choice public nudity all the time, but walking barefoot through an old building festooned with nails, broken glass and splintered boards makes you realize, in case of danger, you are not escaping with any sort of speed.

Yes I think that's the thing that a lot of people don't really let sink in right away. A lot of people say it would be like streaking or something like that, but those are always very temporary situations. I am also a person who spends 99% of my time at home alone, and yet everybody still goes out at some point. Even just going to the bookstore for a few hours or going to the hospital for a few days just think of how many people would be seeing you naked perpetually. Even if you are basically a hermit every time you go out however briefly you're going to be seen naked probably by dozens of people so it's basically a constant state. It's not like streaking, it's like what if you were streaking but your streak lasted the rest of your life?!

That's the thing that I think a lot of people don't really think about when they think about this scenario, it's literally a forever thing, no going back. I think that when that really sinks and you start to realize that this now is basically the defining aspect of your life, you are forever in the eyes of society, friends and family "that naked guy."

In reviewing my previous made replies I think my point was made, and still is valid: I think I would have an easier time then most people, but that is not to say that it would be easy.

Yes that's the thing that I think would make it especially hard. When I was looking at my own Myers-Briggs personality type they bring up the fact that this particular type that we both seem to be part of tend to be overly analytical and you would think that maybe that would make it easier to deal with because you can see it in a rational way and could break it down into those factors, but it's actually worse because if you're a person who over thinks everything and our hyper alert to social cues basically every time you encounter another human being you are noticing every little move that they make, every little thing that they say in regards to you being naked. Even if they don't say so much directly you would often be in a situation where you could tell just from looking at their face or their body language that they were thinking of you naked.

Basically everywhere you go you would have to contemplate the fact that people are looking at you naked and wondering what they are thinking about it. It's something that would be totally inescapable with every single human interaction you have however casually or briefly because everywhere you go that aspect would immediately stand out about you.

Sure you may have a stunning career, good social standing and respect, good friends and family, but the first impression everyone's going to have of you is your naked body every time you meet new people or go out in public.
It really follows the four w’s: who, what, where, and when. Why was already explained away as being an illness that required nudity. But the others; who I was talking to while naked?

This is it exactly. Although the majority of people who see you naked would assume that you are one of the people afflicted with the virus I think that there is still that general assumption people make that the naked guy is sort of a crazy exhibitionist or some type of raging party animal when I know that certainly doesn't describe me at all, but people see you naked and they make all of these assumptions about you.

And the fact is everything you do you think about the fact that you are naked doing it. Think about every single person you know however casually and how they would respond to you naked? Picture every place you go and how much you would stand out by being the only one naked? Sure you may forget about it for a while but then somebody says something or looks at you in a certain way and automatically you are reminded that you are naked. You could be having a conversation and get totally lost in that conversation but also needs is one little snicker or smirk as somebody looks you up and down and you are suddenly taken out of that and reminded that you are once and forever eternally naked!

As you can imagine this is a very much get into the head of the character kind of story. I tend to be like that in all of my stories to some degree, but in this one you really get into the psychology of what it's like to be naked and the long-term mental effects of that.

Well that's the fun and interest of the situation, and the kind of person who would never try to draw attention to myself like that so to be constantly in that situation I think is what makes it so mentally interesting, you're basically taking the last kind of person that you would think of being a public nudist willingly and sort of forcing them into that situation and seeing how they deal with every little thing, things that would otherwise be trivial and mundane are suddenly now made charged by the fact that you are naked and everything that you do and everywhere you go and in every human interaction.

And it is true I think that being naked somehow does make you hyper aware of the environment around you. There is a certain degree of comfort and feeling of security that comes with wearing clothing that when you are suddenly deprived of it to suddenly feel very unusual because it's just so unusual for people to not be wearing clothing, especially out in society and out in the environment where you are basically vulnerable and exposed to everything.
 
Yes, but aren't you missing an aspect of this?

That is, while 1% is not a huge segment of the population, it still is 1 out of100 people; and there are 6 billion people on this earth.

That is 60 million people world wide
3 million people in the United States
13000 in my state
11 people in my town

It gets seemingly more exclusive, but wouldn't it be like the early days of Covid, where at first, "oh my gosh, Mrs, Jones has Covid, and it was fear and shoc. But by the time I contracted it, everyone had gotten it, got over it, and it was a nothing-burger for me and everyone around me.

Wouldn't the same thing happen with your situation? Let's say I got it, and had to be naked for the rest of my life. Wouldn't I just be just looked at with contempt by some people, and sympathy by others? Wouldn't the fear of them contracting it be more mortifying than me being naked in front of them. I mean its not like I wanted to contract that and get my undue punishment by shear happenstance? It would just be something you live with, and quickly because you have no other choice.

Note: I wrote this quick and my tone might have come across as challenging you on this, but I did not mean to convey that. This is discussion and no wrong answers here. I have deep respect for your points and counterpoints I assure you.
 
I typically do not put links on any of my replies as I think we all know how the internet works and can manage our way around to finding what we like to see without help, but in this case I will make my first exception. I do because you might like this video, and while it is female in nature, it really shows the reality of public nudity; from Lindsay being really reluctant to go through with it at first, to the really surprising conversation with the older lady at the two-minute mark, to the lady’s comments on morality at the end. There is just a lot of honesty in this video.

This was taken in the early 2000’s, so twenty years ago thereabouts where cell phones and security cameras were not as prevalent as today, and may be why it was actually done? The United Kingdom is more open to nudity then the United States granted, but still against the law, to which Lindsay has been arrested in other videos for her naked public treks.

Having a girlfriend that is a phycologist, and my own interest in human psychology, one aspect that your novel avoids is that aspect of why people would do public nudity. It is just so ironic here that the older lady at the two-minute mark does not chastise her as you would expect, but compliments on her bravery, even though we saw just two minutes before she was really hemming and hawing about removing her clothes. And I do think it is brave… incredibly brave… and I really love delving into why a male or female person would actually go through with something like this. To me, making a story where it is compulsory, takes away the real mystique of why do this if given a choice? It is a cop-out, an easy way to avoid the real question to the reader, if given a choice, why oh why would anyone do this?

She probably got quite a bit of money for doing what she did, but I bet that was not her full-reasoning for doing so.

@CuttingEdge
Thank you for sharing the video I quite enjoyed it as I like videos of people naked in public like that in sort of a casual way. In fact I was surprised at how casually most people greeted her nudity like that and it does make me think that as this condition were to become long-term that people would get more used to seeing naked people around, but I feel from the naked person's perspective it would still be a really awkward thing. Again maybe they would get used to it over time but it would certainly be a very weird thing.
And it would be a very interesting to be in a relationship with a psychologist in a situation like this as she would probably have a field day analyzing someone who was shy about being naked in public forced to go naked in public.

And yes I can understand that you would want to explore why people would want to go naked but there have already been plenty of books about that, to me the interest is taking somebody who would not naturally ever put themselves in this situation and watching how they deal with it.

Think of it this way, what would be more interesting to watch? Would you rather see some type of blaze an exhibitionist streaking around and having a grand old time with it or would you love to see a socially awkward person suddenly strip naked in public and having all these people coming up to them and focusing on their nudity as they stand there blushing and trying to deal with it.

I am sure that there would probably be a large number of people who indeed say that the people who were going naked like that were very brave, but I think that there would also be a lot of people who were just having a grand old time with it and it would be a real laugh riot for all concerned.

And again the one-sided nature of it and the unfair nature of it I think is also fun to explore as it would be great to see how women would take advantage of a situation like this for their own personal amusement, and I would love to see how that would transform the world for better or worse, and I think that in spite of how humiliating it would be to be one of the afflicted it would ultimately be for the better.
 
Also would be funny in a situation like that to encourage a woman like that who likes to go naked in public who would be really enjoying it while seeing that I was uncomfortable with it and just seeing the contrast between that. The irony and the frustration of my situation is that in most cases she would probably be dressed in getting to see me walking down the street when I would rather not be! And even if she were willingly to go naked in public at the end she got to put her clothing back on and if you couldn't put your clothing back on seeing someone else do you addressed would probably be a frustration in and of itself!

Like you can almost imagine a person in a situation like this having sex with a beautiful woman and then the frustration that comes of the fact that at the end of it she gets to put her clothing back on while you still are sitting there naked and exposed.
 
I have written several stories on public nudity, but must admit they have all been of ladies who have had to go publicly nude for one reason or the other, and not men. It really has run the gambit of something like what Lindsay did in that video, to being naked at work, to being a prominent public official that finally caved to her college nakedness that she once enjoyed. So, while it was from the feminine perspective, I have written a lot of stories that explored both sides of this issue, but most went from shy and afraid to confident. I also tried to make the situation seem at least plausible, with various forms of success in that.

All have been short stories except for a chapter in a mainstream, non-erotica novel that was a western. In that chapter a lady was to be publicly whipped and was stripped for the punishment, but saved at the last minute by her to-be-love interest later in the book. It was a major turning point in the novel though, and really set the tone on who was friend and foe in subsequent chapters. I will have to give some thought to male nudity in some of my novels. It would have to fit of course, but it certainly lends itself to surprising a reader, and making a situation worse, all of which increases tension that is oh so vital in a novel.

I still think that you would gain a lot by getting outside of your comfort zone by doing, and not merely through carefully rearranged set of 26 letters in the making of a novel. I have been working nights these last few days, and so yesterday I was at the house when an unexpected visitor came. I was not naked, but was in comfy clothes as I lounged mid-afternoon after a 12 hour night shift. It was a little unsettling to have to the door dressed as I was, but imagined how much worse it would be if I was naked. But you can get out of your comfort zone and try that, just stripping naked in your house with the blinds shut. It really is phenomenal how going naked in your own house can make you feel vulnerable… like a stranger suddenly knocking on your door. Or being out in the woods on a naked hike and hearing hunting dogs approaching. Or being in the open and hearing a low-flying helicopter. It is mind-boggling how quickly you can feel vulnerable, even in safe places.

But that only makes sense because if one word could describe clothing accurately, it would be “protect”.

Clothing protects us from many things, like the cold climate, or like in my case, from arc flash should a sub-station suddenly blow up. But they also protect our fragile egos, whether it be for a lady who has a bit too much thigh for her liking and would really rather not let that cute guy in the library see, or that embarrassing mole on some guy’s ankle he likes to hide with tall socks. We are all different, and yet we do not want anyone to know that. Heck, I know of a lady that has several hundred pairs of shoes, and while that is not uncommon for a lady… she overcompensates because she was born with six toes on one foot. It was surgically removed as an adult, but the scar is still embarrassing for her and so she subconsciously over-buys to protect herself from anyone knowing one foot is different from that of other people.

But maybe we are all that way to some degree, having grown too accustomed of hiding behind the clothes we wear?

I have written a tremendous number of stories on the topic of embarrassing nudity, in fact I have over a half million words or more of stories that I'm trying to edit and read and publish in various collections. I would say I probably give a fairly equal amount of time to male versus female nudity and I have run the gamut from everything to realistic situations where people are getting naked on dares, where people are losing clothing in unsuspecting circumstances like a wave taking their clothing away, others where people are forcibly stripped, but then taking it to really crazy levels of speculative realms as well such as a nudist colony on Mars, viruses rendering certain people's allergic to clothing, societies where nudity is a punishment for crimes, post apocalyptic stories, stuff using magical fantasy, there's just so much you can do with one topic that there is pretty much an inexhaustible supply.

And then I did a whole novel called naked Corona basically where the Covid virus causes those who are infected with the virus to have the side effect of being allergic to clothing which worked good as an erotic novel as well as a funny satire. The way I see it with all of the crazy conspiracy theories about Covid you can imagine if Covid also rendered people naked how much crazier that would get.

So this novel about the naked man being allergic to clothing is a trope that I have used in many shorter stories as well as novel length things but this one I was going to explore how awkward it was to experience being a naked man in a society of dressed women. There are lots of stories about women being naked or sexually objectified but you really don't see as many stories about men and embarrassing naked situations like that so I thought it was sort of a unique thing.

I also think that CFNM stories specifically explore the double standard where in society it's usually women who are expected to get naked, so it turns the status quo on its head where it's a man who is forced to deal with being naked around women all the time and also how the presence of these naked men would end up affecting society and the more broader sense in a way that I feel would elevate women and also just result in lots of good comedy material for female comedians!

So yes I have been plenty of stories about female nudity as well including mutual male and female nudity where they all have different reactions, but I definitely prefer primarily stories where the person getting naked is uncomfortable being naked and how they deal with that, once again perhaps coming from my own perspective as a shy awkward individual.

I include lots of scenes of embarrassing nudity and a lot of my mainstream stuff as well although usually not in a directly erotic or fetishized way, usually something that's just sort of comedic and happens in the course of the story. Then one of my serious stories about a virus killing most of the world's men it was only when I was reading it back and I realized that I had the main male character be naked for nearly half of the story as a prisoner of these women so that one perhaps was not a fetish or erotica novel but it had a lot of one-sided nudity in it to the point where you could see that that was a clear plot point.

Admittedly some of these stories are borderline should I publish them as mainstream stuff under my own name or is it more erotica that I would publish under my pseudonym. Some do sort of border on the fence where it's kind of hard to decide. For me the dividing line is if it's more explicitly eroticized and sexualized meant to get the person often I will publish it under a pseudonym as erotica, but it just fits into the story but is not the main focus of the story I figure I can just leave it as is.
I still think that you would gain a lot by getting outside of your comfort zone by doing, and not merely through carefully rearranged set of 26 letters in the making of a novel. I have been working nights these last few days, and so yesterday I was at the house when an unexpected visitor came. I was not naked, but was in comfy clothes as I lounged mid-afternoon after a 12 hour night shift. It was a little unsettling to have to the door dressed as I was, but imagined how much worse it would be if I was naked. But you can get out of your comfort zone and try that, just stripping naked in your house with the blinds shut. It really is phenomenal how going naked in your own house can make you feel vulnerable… like a stranger suddenly knocking on your door. Or being out in the woods on a naked hike and hearing hunting dogs approaching. Or being in the open and hearing a low-flying helicopter. It is mind-boggling how quickly you can feel vulnerable, even in safe places.
I don't really live alone so I really don't have the privacy to go naked. Maybe I have been doing so briefly when I know no one's going to be home for several hours and maybe within the confines of my own room but I certainly wouldn't risk actually leaving the house like that or answering the door like that.
But that only makes sense because if one word could describe clothing accurately, it would be “protect”.

Clothing protects us from many things, like the cold climate, or like in my case, from arc flash should a sub-station suddenly blow up. But they also protect our fragile egos, whether it be for a lady who has a bit too much thigh for her liking and would really rather not let that cute guy in the library see, or that embarrassing mole on some guy’s ankle he likes to hide with tall socks. We are all different, and yet we do not want anyone to know that. Heck, I know of a lady that has several hundred pairs of shoes, and while that is not uncommon for a lady… she overcompensates because she was born with six toes on one foot. It was surgically removed as an adult, but the scar is still embarrassing for her and so she subconsciously over-buys to protect herself from anyone knowing one foot is different from that of other people.
Yes I think because we're so used to wearing clothing we considered a form of security that protects us from the outside world. And yes it does allow us to hide ourselves from the world including all of our scars and stretch marks and other less attractive aspects of our bodies.
But maybe we are all that way to some degree, having grown too accustomed of hiding behind the clothes we wear?
I think that's basically the main reason why you would want to explore something like that at novel length, wearing clothing is something basic that everybody is able to do so you can imagine how vulnerable and uncomfortable would be to not be able to do that, to be the only person in a crowd of 100 or more people who is naked and unable to conceal their selves the way every other person is. That's where I think all the drama and tension from the story comes from and that is what I think is the most interesting thing to explore from a psychological perspective.
 
I typically do not put links on any of my replies as I think we all know how the internet works and can manage our way around to finding what we like to see without help, but in this case I will make my first exception. I do because you might like this video, and while it is female in nature, it really shows the reality of public nudity; from Lindsay being really reluctant to go through with it at first, to the really surprising conversation with the older lady at the two-minute mark, to the lady’s comments on morality at the end. There is just a lot of honesty in this video.

This was taken in the early 2000’s, so twenty years ago thereabouts where cell phones and security cameras were not as prevalent as today, and may be why it was actually done? The United Kingdom is more open to nudity then the United States granted, but still against the law, to which Lindsay has been arrested in other videos for her naked public treks.

Having a girlfriend that is a phycologist, and my own interest in human psychology, one aspect that your novel avoids is that aspect of why people would do public nudity. It is just so ironic here that the older lady at the two-minute mark does not chastise her as you would expect, but compliments on her bravery, even though we saw just two minutes before she was really hemming and hawing about removing her clothes. And I do think it is brave… incredibly brave… and I really love delving into why a male or female person would actually go through with something like this. To me, making a story where it is compulsory, takes away the real mystique of why do this if given a choice? It is a cop-out, an easy way to avoid the real question to the reader, if given a choice, why oh why would anyone do this?

She probably got quite a bit of money for doing what she did, but I bet that was not her full-reasoning for doing so.

The best search term for this type of content is "Nip-Activity Video" and you would get hundreds of videos of girls walking around in cities all around Europe, and sometimes through absolute crowds. Including totally camera laden tourist hotspots. Few shy girls though, it's mostly done as if it was was normal (and that's what pervert like me is really looking for). And basically, the crowd take it in stride, there's some laughs, but the only people really freaking out and being loud are occasional American tourists (the English "oh my gawd" really stands out from the multilingual murmuring of the crowds.

A random link for good measure, but they're really everywhere if you look forthem:

However, there's a bit of asterisk: women can get away with it nearly anywhere in Europe, regardless of what the local rules are. They're mostly rather permissive until there's no disturbance, but I believe most of those videos depict what would be at very least an administrative misdemeanor, classified as light hooliganism. A man doing exactly the same would be met rather differently, I'm afraid*. He would be need to much more humble and not flaunting it like lot of those girls do, or he would get police attention. You see children in the crowds with no problems or special attention from anyone, but a guy simply walking nude by the school entrance and having bad luck can be hit with sexual assault laws really, really hard, on par of rape. So yes, there's certainly sexism and preferential treatment.

*I may be wrong, I haven't really looked for similar male content, really. There's certainly some that out too, but what little I have seen mostly depicts guys walking alone in a park or so, occasionally bending to spread theyr cheeks and flash the asshole.

Okay, I did, and found this:

I don't know where that exact clip is taken, but as it seems at least in Germany you can walk nude apparently without much problem.

I have seen similar videos to that where does actually seem you can walk around naked both men and women in Europe without it really getting much of a reaction, and I know that in some places it's legal to be naked in public in Europe, and I think that Spain has no laws against public nudity whatsoever. It's interesting though that even again when people are allowed to go naked very few seem to take the opportunity to do so.

I do think it would probably vary a lot as the public acceptance in say in Europe versus the United States, as I think in the United States people would be more shocked like that due to our puritan traditions. Of course in a scenario where 1% of the population was rendered naked like that people would probably eventually get used to it to some degree, at least the people who get to stay dressed would, I imagine the naked people would probably never fully overcome the feeling of being naked!

But the fact that you can see lots of videos like this where people are very casual about other people walking around naked and not getting much of a reaction does suggest that people would probably get use to it quicker than we expect.

I know the laws are changing a bit here, but it seems more in terms on the feminine side.

I heard on the radio a year or so ago, about a lady who decided to play catch with her kids on the front lawn, and with it being hot in Colorado, took off her top and was thus topless. Neighbors called and she was arrested, but that city had changed its laws making it legal for a woman to go as bare chested as a man. She sued for an unlawful arrest and won her lawsuit.

At a city in Maine, two college girls decided to go nude as they walked down the sidewalk, and they were arrested, but because the laws were so old, it was worded something like, "exposure of the genitals", and they claimed they could not expose their genitals. The judge agreed and threw out the case. I am sure from that case though; the city changed its wording of the law.

But you are right, that was with women and had it been men doing the same thing, the outcomes probably would have been much different. As a father with kids though, I am not sure that is a bad thing. I know if it happened around me and my kids, I would be thinking, "what is the guys motivation for doing so?" That is judgmental I know, but that is how humans operate. Snap judgments of people are how we defend ourselves. If you see two guys with black ski masks with guns, you don't assume, "oh, they were cold this afternoon while out at the shooting range", experience and exposure has proven they are probably going to rob a place, and we bug out of there. The latter is a logical conclusion based on what the two men are wearing and carrying. It is the same way with a nude man around children, you assume the worst motivation because there is no undoing that kind of violence should it occur, so people are extremely defensive from the start. Sexist? Yes! But then again, statistically the numbers are there to generate that kind of defensiveness; men are more likely to engage in that kind of hurtful behavior than women.

I think that those are good points when you see a naked person around children there is something sort of creepy about it. I don't have children but if I did I'll admit I'd feel weird if they were around a naked dude. At the same time though I feel that we need to stop criminalizing the human body and always treating nudity as sexualized. If a person is just standing around naked and minding their own business and not bothering anybody I don't think that that should constitute a crime.

I see it as sort of similar to the right-wing panic over drag Queens.and transgender people. Although there are no instances supporting the notion that transgender people or drag Queens are harmful to children or adults or otherwise, there is still this moral panic over it simply because it's going against the norm for most people.

But you are right people do tend to have a tendency to make snap judgments, and I think that that's where a lot of our darker impulses come from as human beings, who prematurely panic and vilify people that do anything differently from the majority even in cases where it is harmless.

I am not so sure about this.

I was at a pizza shop one time with the wife and my daughters with the oldest being ten. As we waited, and waited, and waited for our food, the girls got fidgety and were kind of restless. Not far away was a guy was by himself, probably fifty years old, and is staring at my oldest daughter, moving to get the best views of her, and just leering, as if waiting to look up her dress that she had on as she twirled around in ten-year-old fashion. You could just tell; he was enamored by her.

While technically he was not doing anything “wrong”, it was incredibly creepy.

So, I had a conversation with him about it.

He did not like my opinion on the matter, and called the police, but when they heard my side of the conversation, they laughed, and no report was ever made.

But that is how life works. A person is held accountable for their actions, and while what he was not doing was a crime, it is incredibly angersome to watch a sick individual leer at your oldest daughter. By having a conversation with the man, the next time he is in a similar situation, he will think twice about what he is doing, or lest he might be confronted again.

It comes down to this: do whatever floats your boat, but not if it sinks mine.

If that guy wants to stare at my wife who was incredibly pretty and not against wearing alluring clothes in public, go right ahead, she is an adult and can defend herself, but a ten-year-old kid just being a kid. No…. a sicko like that is not making my family feel threatened. They are not ruining my family time because they want to be inappropriate. But that is just me. I advocate for children and the elderly and not afraid to hold people accountable for their actions.
