The "Shrinkage" episode of Seinfeld is definitely a classic . I'd rather be in warmer water.

Skinny-dipping was part of the routine when I was at Camp Samoset (yes, now the site of the Samoset Condos). Sometimes they gave us soap and shampoo and we bathed in the Lake without bathing suits. It was a boys camp and I was too young to think of looking for a girls camp (and now I'm too old to focus properly!).

Cold water shrinkage only occurs in about 50% of the population (the males). Based on my scientific observations (not as much observing as I'd like ) the other 50% have often demonstrated a "puckering" phenomenon which has been known to somewhat counteract shrinkage syndrome. I heard that this theory was the prelude to some kind of wet undershirt competitions.

What I think will likely cause affront or alarm and what you think may cause affront and alarm may not be the same. What if someone believes that their actions would be considered amusing or arousing instead? Or even ignored? So what general circumstances will NOT likely cause affront or alarm regarding nude beaches and skinny-dipping?

When we get the Lake shutterbugs on the lookout for these areas and activities maybe Don will make a newd PhotoPost category .
