Hi all
As a regular visitor to nudist Camps, I suddenly had the thought yesterday that if you go pulled back, there really is nothing left that you do not reveal. No problem for me to show my exposed head. What are your thoughts? Is there a barrier to not doing that?
I see a lot of men (from young to old) in the sauna and a large number of them have their glans free. That so many are circumcised would be a very big coincidence, even in Europe.
But in the sauna I usually leave my glans covered.
In Germany it's normal to sit naked in the sauna, so you can always see it quite well

Have you ever tried to go exposed in the sauna?
Not always in the sauna, but every now and then I leave my foreskin behind in the sauna
Does that give you a different / better feeling to be totally exposed?
So I can't tell a difference in the "feel" right now. But I find that as a non-circumcised person it is a bit more "naked" for me
nudist camp or nudist beach it's always pulled back, same as in the changing room's and showering.

Can I say that you are retracted in all places . Are you doing it because it looks better or it feels better...both? For me it's more the feeling but it also looks quite better
Here we keep ours to ourselves. At home free. In our gay house our penises are part of the family so to speak. Nothing much to do with sex actually but with being free. Penises and butts included. Bellies too, by the way. Nudist places can be a bit weird. Old school. Like in some nudist places it is even forbidden to look down (or they end up in one big orgy). It is some sort of go back to nature but at times very orthodox. A bit twisted. At home we dress when we feel like it. Or when the postman rings.
It makes it different. The more nude we are at times, the more beautiful I see my partner when dressed. It has become a decoration of what I know is inside. I can see it with my hands without even touching. A whole different ball game than dropping your pants on de nudist camping and then pretend it is all normal. With house rules. And you'd better not look down. Especially for us two gay guys. What do you think I have this penis for then, I'd hope my partner likes it I have one too? ;D
In public I would not like any others to drop theirs at random either though. There still are such things you'd rather not know. Not that it would be a real problem. But it is not an issue in public. If that would be my fetish, I should have become a doctor. Then you get the first Monday morning at 9, just after breakfast. With an issue.

Hello. Both but i do like the feel of it back as well.
Around the house, when practical, my wife works from home. Certainly in the garden, nudist beaches, naturist retreat short breaks, (very early) dog walks, and working as a life model, I actually did an outdoor session in an unoverlooked orchard, quite a fun session. Always retracted, it's what I do and how I am. It won't go back now anyway!

Nice to have a garden where that is possible. interesting to do model sessions
Yes, I've had that thought that when I'm nude in a locker room, sauna, steamroom, or shower area, that I feel more naked when retracted. I've been retracted all the time for a few months now. I like the look and feeling of it. I haven't hiked nude in years or went to a nude beach in a long time but I was covered there. I'd like to do that retracted but I think its safer to be covered when hiking.

Retracted hiking that I do regularly in the summer and have not encountered any problems feels fantastic .... Don't you miss it free in the woods , beach, or ......

Exactly that. Feeling free. Glans included.

I like beeing naked at home, lake, pool and sauna. At sauna I go always retracted, but the heat feels higher in the gland. Does anyone feels the same?
I think pushing the foreskin behind when naturist or in the sauna is then at most naked

yes that's pretty funny that you can very well feel temp differences with your glans. probably because it is more sensitive. I especially like swimming naked. another feeling of being free
As a full time retractor I keep mine back in all situations. I'm a regular nude beach visitor and my head gets nicely tanned. When I go to a sauna I also keep my foreskin back. Not sure I would feel completely nude if my foreskin was forward in a naturist environment.

I don't feel like my head is tanned. Freckles on the skin :). Use sun cream on it, maybe that's it. Anyone have experience with sunburn on the head?
I feel more exposed/naked when my glans is on display when I'm naked in a public setting. I like the feeling of the air on my glans when I've been naked outdoors.

Good to hear that you can also enjoy being exposed and that the air gives a nice feeling. Do you have any experience with sports , hiking outdoors ?
Full time retractor here, and have been for over 20 years.
I visit naturist beaches and a clubs.
Feels natural to be pulled back, and I can't say for sure if me being pulled back has drawn any attention.
But sure people have looked for maybe other reasons. Lol

Hi after 20 years does the foreskin still want to shine? That doesn't really work for me anymore. Nice that you also like to live naked outside. I can imagine being watched 😉

I use a type of spoon method to keep the inner foreskin tucked. As for it shining, I wouldn't say it does. Just a different colour/not as keratinized, although I do give it daily wipe over with surgical spirit after a shower.
Helps with toughening up.
Also the glands and shaft are now almost the same colour.
I love being naked outside. I would do it year round if the weather permitted.

Does your foreskin just want to stay behind the shine without a spoon type thing? Do you use surgical spirit for the inner foreskin because it is tucked and does not become firm? The feeling of being naked outside is fantastic!

Yes, the foreskin does like to stay pulled back. It's just more comfortable tucked in using the spoon method.
I use surgical spirit on the head and the inner foreskin before tucking it under.
Not sure what you mean by "The shine"

The shine that's something with typing autocorrect in dutch. Glans means shine in dutch Survival spirit doesn't that give a lot of irritation?
Ah, I thought either translation or autocorrect had something to do with it. But your English is much better than my Dutch.
Surgical spirit will sting the first couple of times for a minute or so.
But things will settle down quickly and you'll start noticing the difference soon

I've only ever been naked outdoors in the back garden, at the beach or when camping, etc. so never really had the chance for hiking or doing any sports.

Im a nudist as well and my thought are that not a lot of people look at youre body as much as some people think so going bare head or not doesnt really matter beacuse there are all kinds out there these are my thought cheers

I also have that impression, it doesn't matter to people how you are we are all nude. It is also a way of life . It's that I feel like I feel more exposed pulledback. More free.
I can't talk about nudist camps since I never visited one. Yet going to nudist beaches and the sauna, I can say that people seem to be rather relaxed about where you wear your foreskin.
For me it took some time to feel okay showing myself in public with my exposed head. I felt rather shy fearing to get some strange looks or comments.
Meanwhile I don't have any problems with it, since I learned that people don't really care about it.

You see all shapes sizes with without foreskin etc. No one throws themselves into it, it is mainly what you / we think of it. (as you write) Glad you're enjoying it.
Not really "outdoors", but in Japan - we have public bathhouses called onsens. It's an unspoken rule where you keep your foreskin retracted in this space; both a sign of being clean and manly. You will notice all men in there retract upon stripping naked or were always retracted beforehand.

I did read a bit about onsen. Nice tradition that the men are retracted. I can't make out very well whether the bathhouses are also mixed (male female). What I understand retracted foreskin is a more common practice in Japan ?

There is no mixing allowed; you can both enter the location together. But then will be separated by gender upon entering the separate gender rooms. That's where I've noticed if other men who don't practice permanent retraction, will quickly pull the foreskin back after getting naked.

I understand. quite strictly no mixing. you will also be notified if you are not retracted . (suggest tourist guest or similar)
Hi everyone, the sun is showing itself again in this region. Almost time to go pulledback outdoors again! (Can't wait) Any experiences from other regions?
I´d normally go for nudist beaches during summer and always keep the foreskin retracted. Indeed is pretty common here is Spain, to see guys showing the glans on the beach, saunas, locker rooms etc.

I also had the experience that there were quite a few showing their on the beach and pool. when I visited a naturist campsite in Spain
Stupid question perhaps. But if you pull back surely your foreskin doesn't tan like the the rest of your dick? Does it end up a different colour?
I guess sunburn of the head is also something to be mindful of?

I don't know if I can speak for everyone, but I have the impression that the inner skin simply colors along with the rest. (photo) Definitely rub the whole thing with high factor sun cream if you're just starting out :) also your glans!
Yes it does tan along with the rest of you.
But as Short said, Sun cream
Depends on the person, some have much more pigmentation in the inner foreskin and on the glans than others — and some people have none of it in the glans even if they have no vitiligo otherwise.
In my country I have not seen many circumcised men, in dressing rooms or environments where there is clinical or sports nudism I have not really seen severed penises... most of us are men with foreskins and I say this because we don't bother to discover the glans, even I don't I have discovered my glans in environments where there are nudity although I would like to. In my country, for most people I think it would be strange... that would be the barrier that I find in my context.

definitely a point. every skin is different. I don't notice much difference with the rest of my skin. if I'm in the sun longer, freckles :) appear on my inner and foreskin. my glans is getting a little darker

Hey Sir...I went to a few popular Onsens while on a trip to Japan earlier this year. Having read about the "pulled back tradition", I did check things out a bit more than usual to make sure I was doing the right thing. However, no-one (young or old) seemed to be pulled back so neither did I. It was a great peaceful experience...recommended.

A friend hiked the AT in 2001 and was looking forward to meeting the nude hiker who was famous in Maine. She did and when I got her emailed journal I had to laugh. She said she wasn't expecting him to be a middle aged fat guy with a little wrinkly one so she was very disappointed. She liked big ones.
I'm curious if there are still nice pulledback outdoor experiences for some this summer. in my region the weather is mostly indoors.

In general, more pigmented areas tan slower. Because they already are pigmented. Using some sun cream on darker parts can give even faster results.
What I like the most is to have everything in the same color. I do not have that much pigment difference. Takes me just a week, and no more than one hour in the sun. After that, more part of me. To say it bluntly, it does not look like a scary shrimp anymore, but a more natural part of my body. Of better said, not a body part, but part of me.
