I'll summarize to the net. Set your imagination > free. Well, the responses have ceased and I'm back from vacation, so here's the summary of activities best done nude. If there are any more to add or comments on the ones included, feel free to mail to me. ******* Pomogranite consumption, getting married, skydiving, walking in the rain, washing one's car, and finally taking a shower. Ps. sleeping in the raw is quite nice also! [Editor's note: I assumed that *everyone* slept nude!!]] ******* Cleaning the bathtub Cleaning the oven (Arm & Hammer non-caustic cleaner only) Washing floors, cars, or anything that involves slopping water around (except windows in a conservative neighborhood!) Getting a haircut (prevents getting all the hairs in the shirt) Exercise Eating watermelon Hiking in remote areas is always a fun activity to be performed "naturally"... Windsurfing - or more correctly - boardsailing. Try sailing in the nude. You've never ski-doo'ed 'till you've done it in the nude! I suggest, though not by my own experience, that nude folks might enjoy ballooning or hang gliding (no pun intended--ha ha). Taking a walk in the woods. Getting off into the Sierras on a back pack trip, or just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be fairly isolated, is a wonderful place to get in touch with yourself and nature. In answer to your survey, basketball and golf would seem like good nude activities to me (finding a nude golf course could be tough though). [Editor's note: indeed, it could, but for those who think really big, how about the next suggestion?] How about a day at an amusement/theme park like Six Flags/Opryland/ Great Adventure/Knotts Berry Farm/Disneyland(???)/etc? Thanks to all who responded. If you don't see your suggestion here, please try to resend. I was surprised at the lack of duplication in the answers I got. I haven't compressed multiples: all suggestions are represented. Now, do you suppose that we could get enough people together somewhere to manage renting an entire amusement/theme park???
