Artistic Photos
This is a place to post your "artistic" photos for others to view and enjoy. However you choose to define "artistic" is up to each individual. The genesis of this idea for me was having taken some shadow/silhouette photos, wanting to share them, but not really knowing where to post them. They are "soft" nude photos that are more provocative than explicit. Hoping...

Bunny tails and Untanned Parts
Return to DiscussionsSo just out of curiosity, how many people take a double take when they see a profile pic here on TN of people who say they are nudists/naturists, but then have untanned body parts ... either a bunny tail or markings from women wearing a bikini top? I personally do not like to tan unless I can be nude, and if I must, I wear strong sunscreen so my exposed parts do not tan more than my covered areas. I have been thinking of buying one of those Swim suits that allow the sun to tan you (you still have to wear like a #4 sunscreen to make things even), but still, these pictures I see make me scratch my head.

Before I found a great secluded outdoor naked spot, I wore shorts & things. Thus a stark tan line was created. Though somewhat sexy looking, I didn't like it because the damn white part made wearing thongs, bikini bottoms, and panties rather goofy looking. 2 photos attached.Eventually, I was able to enjoy total outdoor nudity and finally fill my tan in.
You must have worn swim briefs or very short shorts with no shirt frequently to get a tan line like that!
I used to do a double-take when seeing tan lines on a nudist beach. But I only saw them because the person was naked. Nudist DO get tan lines when they are caught in the sun in a textile setting.Once I went on a (textile) cruise with my sister. It included days at sea when we sunbathed on deck. I was conscious that within a week I was going nude hiking in the Alps with an international group. How could I avoid tan lines? I did wear some tan-through shorts but realized that they were effectively factor 50. So I had to use factor 50 sunblock on the parts exposed during the cruise.Incidentally the back pack and hiking boots created some unusual tan lines during the Alpine hikes. None were in the usual places.
The most unusual tan line I ever has was when we spent most of a long weekend in May outdoors at places that required a shirt.
I used 50 SPF on my arms and face but didn't put any on the parts that were covered by a lightweight thin t-shirt.
By the time we got home, my chest and back were noticeably darker than my arms and face!

It is not just getting caught. Many people who are nude when they can be still like to go to outdoor places that require clothing.
There are also many of us who need to wear something when we are working in the parts of our yards that are visible from the street.
I've told my neighbors (new in the area)on either side and behind that if they peek over the 7ft fence, they may go blind because I will be nude. They've all said what you do behind your wall is your business. within the past week they've all dropped in and I've been nude. Guess they didn't believe me. One lady was still surprised and commented on the great tan, all the way up. No tan lines. One neighbor said he's nude in his house all the time. He has a short fence on the other side and doesn't feel comfortable going outside. For those that are fearful what the neighbors might think, I made light of it, and it worked. I've let most everyone we have met, that we skinny dip, and here, south of Phoenix, it's been acceptable. No tan lines on my wife and I.
Just speaking for myself. I get to the nude beach several times a week but my wife is not comfortable with nudity so I wear a suit when I'm in my pool or go to the clothed beach. As a result, the upper body is much darker than the parts covered by a suit. I don't intentionally go to sun tan. I see what you are saying though. Some are lily white where their suit would be. Perhaps they are not beach people or only home nudists.
