Excuse me while I pour this liter of vinegar in your bathtub ...

Support Body Freedom and push for mandatory nudity in all warm water parts of the world! :)

A person can dream can't they?

Americans are the most uptight people in the world, and it is embarassing to be known as one when travelling internationally.

I'd love to see the idea of nude bathing, swimming, snorkeling become accepted in every locale.

You'll find that most people who swim or bathe nude regularly already have a deep tan, thus requiring no sunscreen most of the time.

Sunscreen is most commonly globbed on by those who only poke their neck out of their turtleneck for a few days each year.

If people actually kept a bit of a base tan, and had their bodies in shape, hydrated and moisturized, they wouldn't have much need for sun block except under extreme circumstances.

We have such a paranoia in the American culture with having a bit of skin color, thanks to overzealous conservative dermatologists, that people are scared out of their mind to have any kind of a tan.

As with anything moderation is in order, however Americans are famous for ignoring this little ditty.

Interesting story, tho, my neighbor in Trail would get sunburnt too, you just couldn't tell it as easily due to his dark skin.

Speak for yourself. No amount of base tan keeps me from getting scorched if I forget the sunscreen.

Perhaps we should apply the same rules to the ocean as we have for the public pool: Shower with soap before getting in.

And if I did, I would wear one of those turn-of-the-century ones that only require sunscreen on the calves and forearms.

Also, there recently started to be dead tadpoles floating in the lake near me after they mandated sunscreen for all children.

Clothes/hats are actually the best option.
