International Skinny Dip Day 2023

skinny dipping    
I remember the few times my compadres were skinny dipping. I recall everyone else abruptly disrobing and getting into the water then being the only one remaining fully clothed both times.

The first time was in Rosmon, North Carolina with Leroy and Joe Dodson et al. We were at a very cold mountain river and everyone shucked off their clothes and jumped in. Everyone except me that is. The second time was in Salley, SC with my dad and brothers and a few cousins. As in North Carolina I declined to disrobe in public in South Carolina as well.

Skinny dipping is not meant for we who are bashful. I had absolutely no desire to traipse around showing off all that I don't have.

It was an embarrassment and I was very careful to pick and choose my venues more carefully after that. All of a sudden I wasn't so quck to join anyone for a trip to the river. They all noticed this as well.

International Skinny Dip Day comes each July 8. Skinny dipping goes back long ago. Some famous people have decided it was appropriate to shed all garments and jump in the water ...

Shamlessly exhibiting their packages and parcels in public. Some people think nekkid is beautiful. I'm just not one to go on display.

It just wasn't anything in which I cared to participate. It also created a sense of avoidance in some social situations. I don't just accompany anyone for swimming at the ponds and lakes anymore. Cart your boorish exhibitionist ass elsewhere.

Happy International Skinny Dip Day to all of you with no shame.
