I can just imagine you stumbling upon a naturist beach, in the same unintended way I and my family did, where it was much more embarrassing to remain clothed than go with the flow. We didn't have any "hang-ups" and just got on with it.

So would you have sat there with red faces, but not risking red bottoms, or left again feeling humiliated and retreated to the hotel pool, to be surrounded by topless ladies?

In many parts of Europe, even in Catholic countries, naturist beaches are commonplace and no-one cares a jot.

There's no need to be judgemental. It's a personal choice, but there is no reason to accuse those who accept it of being in any way sexual deviants.

In avoiding answering the question and then making silly remarks, you reveal rather more than you intended.

Nothing deliberate involved. Only when more natural to conform than resist. I wouldn't now, but I certainly have no criticism of those who do, nor any shame when I did.

You, on the other hand, appear to have a very out of date prudish attitude which could easily be unhealthy. There is nothing whatsoever wrong in enjoying the freedom of being naked, either alone, in the company of those you love or, indeed, with others with a similar open-minded approach to life. It's just not a big deal.

Having such a Victorian attitude in 2022 is not a good example to the youth of today, many of whom would find you very strange. indeed.

Why would Catholics be anti naturist?

Not many in Muslim countries I would guess.

As far as I know there are either none or very few in Asia.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

It certainly does.

While I'm certainly not one for getting my tackle out around kids and teenagers I certainly welcome the return of politically incorrect politicians to Europe....which since the death of the libertarian lefty only comes from the right....though not the 'cultural excuse in soy trousers' that represents the right in Britain.

These po-faced leftists are insidious rather than fun. A return to carry on and innuendo rather than deviancy would have far less darker undertones.
