to wear or not to.....
Good to read your interesting post Jackk. I picked up on "other people's sensitivities" in terms of minimal coverage and/or nudity and can only conclude that you enjoyed a very civilised upbringing ( and more of such it would be nice to see).
You were also bold enough to refer to a continuing pervasive puritanism in the US and not (so far) be accused of US-bashing. Well done! |

We exist at a pretty good time in human history, and the US is a good place to live. I've visited lots of places, and don't have a desire to live anywhere else. Being overly modest isn't really a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Barriers are starting to come down. Korean spas seem to be popping up everywhere, and they require patrons to be nude. Most of the spas in Vegas are clothing optional too. |

Speedos are a lot more fun than total nudity....anyone else feel the same?

Byron... far cry from the crap you posted about the US. I didn't blast u about posting anti US... posting anti any country does not belong here is really what I said. Why is that so hard for u to get? |

if i don't know anyone, i feel comfortable, if i know them, i would rather have board shorts as people look at you funny here in the us. in a hot tub where i go at this spa casino pool, i usually don't know anyone, but in my condo pool out there as well as here in mass. i usually where a speedo late at night when nobody usually is in the pool. chuck |

"look at you funny"
Welcome as new member today.
I am afraid that what you say reflects what has been discussed here so often on the forum about feeling socially comfortable and seeking speedo-friendly beaches. (Would it be fair to say that Mass. is generally "non-friendly"?) |

if you go to providence town and truro at the end of cape cod, that is friendly and if i remember correctly, truro has a nude beach so that would be a friendly place to go, but you are correct to say mass. is somewhat backwards, except for the fact i believe one if not the first state to establish gay marriage. good point though byron, chuck |

New Developments
It's interesting to come back to this after so long. The pool I frequent was purchased by a German family a few months ago. They've slowly been instituting a few changes. The first was to hire a new aquatics director. They've been doing some renovations to the spa area as well. It's been closed almost since they took over.
They recently sent out a letter to all members outline some policy changes. It's not at all what I expected. Some excerpts below. Quote:

There was a bit of a backlash against required nudity in the spa area, so this pool relaxed their rules to avoid scaring away clientele. They reinstated the more typical swimsuits required rule every day except on Fridays. They're still trying to make that happen. I've been a few times, and it's mostly German and Russian families.
They did send out a notice about their "Nude Years Day" event next Friday, when the facility will be open to the public. |

Hotel
I had to stay in a hotel for work. I was relaxing in the sauna wearing a speedo when a mom and daughter walked in. It was obvious they were talking about me when they sat down. After a while, the mom said, "I like your swimsuit."
"Mom!" said the daughter. "What? I'm just giving him a complement." "Your embarrassing me," said the daughter. "Everything I do embarrasses you," said the mom. "It's alright," I said. "Thanks for the complement." "More men used to wear those when I was growing up," said the mom. "I think they're cute." "And comfortable," I added. "My husband is a shorts man," she said. "You should get him a speedo as a gift," I suggested. "Sometimes men are just uncomfortable getting one for themselves." She laughed. "That'd make a great stocking stuffer." We chatted about what we were doing in town. Eventually, they had to leave. I wrote down my email for the mom before she left and asked her to tell me how it went. I got a message from her a couple of days after Christmas. "He waited until the kids left, but wore it for me in the hot tub. Thanks for the advice." |
