International Skinny Dip Day 2025

skinny dipping    
Skinny Dipping is the act of swimming naked.

That which was once considered uncouth and shameful was glorified by noteworthies such as Benjamin Franklin, Thoreau, and even Walt Whitman.

The phrase was coined somewhere around 1947 and it has since gained both a modicum of acceptance and a following.

When I was a child my dad went to the river. I was not told what was going to happen but everyone started disrobing and going into the water.

Oh, my suck up brother was the first to gleefully show off his tiny pecker to everyone there because he has never had any taste. Just look at his choices in various riff raff women over the years. Needless to say I neither participated nor did I EVER return to the river with my daddy, either. I was left feeling totally betrayed and feel that I was denied both disclosure and informed consent.

It is International Skinny Dip Day held under the auspices of The American Association for Nude Recreation somce 2018.

You can say I hold stereotypes regarding nude bathing and the propriety of discarding ones clothes in public. Be all of this as it may I am a private type and prefer not to go around displaying everything I don't have for the world to see. I simply have a modesty which will not be supplanted by some insipid inbred hick element in my gene pool.

Yeah, I won't be going skinny dipping either, thank you.
