Significance of an All Over Tan

Return to Discussions

You can't help but notice them on nude beaches or resorts. It is the people with a deep, golden, all over tan. They all share a mellow manner and inner peace. To me, they are like Nudist Royalty. They get my admiration and respect. I have vowed this summer to disavow a tan line.

When you see someone with an all over tan, what does that mean to you?

I wonder how they do their front yard work and other outdoor activities in places they can't be nude.
It is the sign of a committed nudist

For one thing, it means they are someone who can tan instead of burn. It also means that they were sensible and didn't over expose right away -- because I tend toward "olive skinned" anyway, and even I would burn if I did too much too soon. Let's face it, there are people who should not try to tan -- redheads and some other fair skinned people -- and our nudist ethic of body acceptance should include accepting their light color.

I am rarely outside during the summer with clothes on so I always have an all over tan. Last week I was visiting a friends' garden and unfortunately was clothed. I was bending over picking some strawberries and she remarked that I must wear real short shorts when I garden because she didn't see any tan lines. I winked at her and said she was asking some very personal questions and she just grinned at me. I think she now knows the real answer.

Your neighbour sounds like a good friend and may have been trying to tease some information out of you. A couple of my wife's sisters sometimes comment on my tan in the summer when they see me with my shirt off or just in shorts. Pretty sure my wife has told them. I feel like I have enjoyed summer when I have a reasonable tan and it's all over, no white butt. Sun therapy has a certain calming effect, maybe it's more than just vitamin D.

It means they are a nudist. However there are some nudist who, due to circumstances outside their control, do get tan lines.

I work very hard at not getting tan lines. I have a pretty private back yard so can tan nude but when I do go to a non nudist beach I wear surf trunks and a shirt or rash guard so as not to get too much tan.

Tan through shorts are still equal to factor 50 sunblock. To avoid tan-lines you need to put that high factor sunblock on all exposed skin.

Sometimes it means the person(s) have taken in between shortcuts, like stand up tanning beds. Not that I would know from experience. :-)
