who when asked what his favorite outfit was liked to say, "nothing but a smile". The 90-years-of-age leader of various nudist organizations died Saturday from prostate cancer.

I'll be honest and say I haven't heard of him before and when I saw the thread title I thought some Supreme Court decision had been reversed.

 

I'll try to be smarter the next time.

 

To the subject at hand, sounds like a life well lived with very few regrets.

I knew about him owing to the fact that I recently read the Gay Telese book, "Thy Neighbors Wife".

In the 1980s my wife and I knew him quite well. I really liked him.

Talese was, in my opinion, one of the finest observers of American culture in the 1970s and 1980s. I rank him right up there with Tom Wolfe. “The Neighbor’s Wife” was an excellent book. I’ve meant to re-read it.

I read another news story today that made me think of Gay Talese. Harlan Ellison died yesterday. Talese wrote "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold." It was as much about Ellison as it was about Sinatra.

Gay and his wife Nan Talese were frequent guests in our home for dinner parties. Truly an amazing couple. They remain an extraordinary literary institution.

Frank Sinatra Has A Cold remains a pivotal piece of American journalism. It set the stage for decades of features that followed. Should be required reading.

      My wife and I love skinny dipping after our youngest is in bed. We have a daughter in college that comes home on some weekends.

      One weekend recently, she surprised us by coming home early after being out with friends and caught my wife and I in the pool, no swim suits of course. She wasn’t freaked out, she actually was cool about it and hung out by the pool a while. She asked if we would mind if she got in for a swim, we said of course. She went in the house(we thought to get in a swim suit of course)  and she came back out wearing a towel which she soon revealed that she also was nude. She is 20 by the way. She said since  we were skinny dipping it would be ok for her to as well. My wife was totally fine with it. I’m ok with it, it just caught me by surprise and off guard to say the least  to the point where I couldn’t look at her at first since it was my daughter. That went away after a bit.
       
      This is the first time she’s went completely nude with us. My wife and I go nude around the house all the time and she would just go around in a T-shirt and panties when she lived at home and when she comes home now. She never had shown an interest in anything more than that before. Am I just over reacting since it was the first time she’s done that and I’m trying to process it? She’s been a free spirit since she was little,  so it shouldn’t be a surprise to me. She knows we’re swingers and we’re both bisexual and she thinks that’s awesome, so I don’t know why I reacted the way I did with the skinny dipping. Any ideas and opinions are welcome

      We all know how it's usually the husbands that bring up swinging to their wives. But what if you know that your wife will shoot down swinging? Would it be easier to convice her to become a nudist and then go from there?

      I have heard many naturists claim that "nude isn't lewd" and "nudity is not about sex." All I can think is, you sad, jaded, passionless people. My wife and I are routinely nude around our house, around the kids, around family. We have a pool, and in the summer, my wife spends the vast majority of her time at home wearing just a thong bikini bottom, including family dinners, TV time, etc. Now, is that all sexual activity? Of course not. But even in our forties, I still easily get erect just watching her skim the pool or load the dishwasher nude or in her thong. And unlike naturists, I don't WANT to separate nudity from sexiness!
       
      Our friend Anna (triad lover) spends a lot of time at our house, and she's a size 16-18, so she's a bit self-conscious of her body. She usually lounges in a one piece swimsuit, and wears some sort of lacy lingerie during sex. I think she looks hotter than hell in the things she wears, but I sometimes wish I could get her to loosen up and go nude more.
       
      Personally, I love being nude, and for all the "nasty" reasons! As often as I have gone nude in life (a lot) stripping off my clothes, especially in front of other people, still gives my balls a tingle without fail. I love having my package on display, and if I start getting stiff, all the better. So I don't get "naturists" endorsement of nudity and aversion to erections, either. To me, one leads naturally to the other!
       
      When nudity stops being sexy to me, I'll consider myself half dead.

      Okay, whilst reading yahoo this morning, an ad popped up for 'Naturist Cleaners - earn £45 an hour."
       
      Apparently, if you hire on, you head to work, strip off and dust and vacuum. Or, you can remain fully clothed while your employer is naked.

      We are a very happy couple , I have always been a nudist, nude beaches in Jamaica, and resorts here. I am a home nudist also, never wear clothes at home. My lady is not a nudist but doesn't mind me nude, she hardly notices. I can masturbate and she loves watching.
       
      My question is are there any other couples here that are in the same situation? Thanks for all replies!
