It’s Skinny Dipping Day! Have YOU Ever Done That? [POLL]

Today is National Skinny Dipping Day!  Keep your shirt on, and let us know if YOU have ever taken it all off and taken a plunge!

It's the middle of summer, you're roasting, maybe you are (for the most-part) alone, and the water is so inviting.  Today the nation celebrates the act of  nude swimming: Skinny Dipping!  You may wonder, 'how do people actually go about- skinny dipping?"  The folks at WikiHow.com are here to help!

• Choose the location wisely. Public nudity is illegal in most parts of the United States, and some areas of other countries. If you're planning on skinny dipping, choose an area that's been specifically designated as a nude or clothing-optional beach, or strip down in a private lake or pool. It's a good idea to check up on local regulations before you take the plunge.
• Find a co-conspirator. If you're at a party or with a group of people, casually bring up skinny dipping to someone you think will be on board with the idea. You can try to make him or her more receptive by paying a subtle compliment, such as "Wow, your arms really look amazing!" Lots of people go skinny dipping without other people there and it still is an amazing experience, so no worries if you don't have somebody to go with!
• Time it right. Don't try to break out the skinny dipping at the beginning of a party or gathering. Instead, let things wind down a little bit. Wait until after everyone's arrived, eaten and had time to mingle. When the mood seems mellow, get ready to bring up the topic.
• Introduce the idea. You can either announce to the people around you that you really want to try skinny dipping, or simply walk to the water and start undressing. In either case, encourage the person you talked to in Step 2 to join in. Everyone else will start to warm up to the idea when they see another person join. If you're feeling particularly bold, pull an attention-grabbing stunt. If everybody's practicing their cannonballs and you're up on the diving board, take your suit off at that moment. You'll make a bigger "skinny-dipping entrance."
• Undress with confidence. You won't feel comfortable getting naked if you're extremely critical or self-conscious about the way that you look. Take your clothes off without hesitation, and without grimacing at your perceived flaws. Think positive things about yourself, and focus on the body parts you like. No one is perfect, so learn to appreciate the body that you have.
• Encourage the people around you to be confident, as well. If any friends are hesitant about joining you, try to help them see that flaws are no big deal and that they look fine. Self-consciousness is one of the biggest mental barriers to skinny dipping.
• Play in the water. Swim, splash around and dive. Be careful about brushing up against other dippers, unless you're sure they're receptive to the contact. Try to keep the mood light and make the event fun, not weird.

"Don't make it weird"- always good advice!

I can see how it's a Monday, that you are just not going to find the time today to skinny-dip, but keep it mind for the weekend- celebrate late!
