Alt q - ever been nude in public?

I added "go to a nudist beach" to my bucket list in the hope that it might prompt me to man up and do it, but really I just thought I'd put it off for a very long time.
However, I told my bloke about it and he's 'discovered' that the resort we are staying in in Tenerife in September has 2 nudist beaches right next to it, so I might have to put my money where my mouth is sooner rather than later.

I think most places in Tenerife have nudist areas, from what I'm told. I've done it once, although there was nobody else on the beach at the time, so it wasn't really 'in public' per se. And it was only briefly, to find out what it felt like.

I just don't want everyone to see me naked! He said that people don't go to a nudist beach to look at naked people, but you can't not look, so that's bollocks. Plus with camera phones being so tiny nowadays I might end up on someone's sodding facebook!
He's an exhibitionist, he got out of the shower and was thrusting his nudity in my face so I ignored him and told him to go outside and water the plants, which he did without putting clothes on. We live in a block of flats...

It feels quite normal, except for the fact that you can feel the breeze on bits that normally don't get the breeze! And that in itself is quite pleasant.
As for looking at naked people, remember that everyone looking at a naked person is naked too, so it's a level playing field. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable though.

they're more like mixed beaches, if you want, you go nude, if you don't, you keep your clothes. They can be full of pervs.

You get it proper boiling, but it takes time, and you shouldn't open the lid often. Usually it has two settings, the strong one at the beginning if you're in a rush, and once it starts boiling, you can put it down.

I was out of the office yesterday morning and I was worried she would steal it when I wasn't there so I made it really uninhabitable. I put loads of really heavy boxes that she wouldn't be able to lift around it, I left loads of papers lying all over it and I moved the shelf so it created a tiny gap to get through, which I can fit through but she can't even get an arm through.
