Sun Clad

I'm going to add a "field" tag, because people going out to the back 40 to take naughty pictures was evidently a thing. I've seen several. I've nervous for her around that barb wire.

Matching Tattoos

Compare and contrast our redhead here to this blonde I posted before. Different women (I looked very closely to make sure), same basic tattoos. So riddle me this - did they know each other? Same gang? Or were cobras, butterflies, and roosters some sort of fad?

Confidence

I've given this man a name, and that name is Max Chill. Max Chill doesn't give a fuck if you have a problem with that.

Freedomites

Nudity as protest. Simple, cheap, and it attracts plenty of attention. Plus, you get to take your pants off.

Bold as Brass

I'm half convinced I'd already posted this one. I mean, why wouldn't I? Naked hippie band. I think the guy on our left is marching to a different drum, though.

Complete body confidence. "Go ahead," he's saying. "Peek."

The Naked Rationer

This isn't just a silly fellow taking Johnson for a walk. He's out protesting rationing by the occupying SS. And clearly he can't wear pants because of his enormous balls.

Nude Caveman Wedding

I'm a notary public, you know, and in Florida we can perform weddings. I would like to state now that I would be happy as a clam to wed people in the company of dinosaurs, but there's no way I'm stripping down to do it.

Those Naked Germans

Okay, what is up with German soldiers going around without their britches? Can anyone tell me? Do they still do this? I don't care for it.

Why is the pool on fire? Why are they jumping in? Why is that one guy naked? You tell me.
