Somebody suggested a roll in the hay and (apart from remembering that the essential equipment was a good large blanket) I wondered about the difference between people who are happy to shed their clothes and be seen and those who aren't.

When I was at school we were not allowed to wear anything in the swimming pool and so I grew up thinking it quite natural to swim naked or to be outside in the sun like that. Indeed when I began to go to Hampstead ponds to swim I had no bathing costume and one of the friends I went with gave me an old one of his. In those days we had clothes rationing and we bought nothing that wasn't essential.

And, at Oxford, the men's bathing place was 'Parson's pleasure' where nothing was worn. It is long ago closed I regret to say.

I wonder how many people here are comfortable with nudity - how many walk about thier house naked, how many sleep naked.

I don't think nakedness is particularly a gay thing - more something for rebels and unconventional people and I suppose we are that and there may be a connexion.

Love,
Anthony
