Nude and Natural>
Lady Non Sequitur
Probably, Rocker, because when something desired appears in over-abundance, the desire decreases somewhat (I make decorator cakes for a hobby; by the time I'm done with one, I don't ever want to see sugar or chocolate again (at least for a few weeks)) ... that plus the fact that many people don't look particularly great nude...
or maybe you're just a paragon of self control <G>...

Rocker: that is a valid phenomenon. those who have serious hangups about their sexuality, and are in denial about it, will have a prejudice against nudism. it is a >minority< that abuses nudism, whether at a public beach or an organized camp.
as for feeling sexually aroused.. my girlfriend and I did some skinny-dipping this summer while it was hot. but that is, of course, a very different thing. if you really >want< to reduce signs of arousal, simply jump into the ice-cold water. or, find yourselves in a place where you've wandered onto the best sunning-rocks after wading through too-deep creek water, and managed to (a) leave your packs of food behind, and (b) dropped your beach-towel in the water, thus having to leave it behind and get fir needles all over your backsides.
what's worse... going to a hot springs where the pool has a sandy bottom. in such a case, or where there are others present, we've settled on swimsuits. anatomically, males don't have as much to worry about, when it comes to getting sand in certain places. but discretion is still advised.
my next house is going to have room for a hot tub. that's all there is to it.
Saint Bob
Everyone's beautiful if you know how to look at 'em.

Cold water has NO effect on me except at near freezing temperatures.
Flying Wombat
I believe I did mention near-freezing temperatures. the problem now is that the weather is too cold for much of anything, without warm clothes. I'm not ready to try nude skiing.
and I should mention that a muddy bottom is in some ways worse than a sandy one.

Shoot me now.

Who wants to see a bunch of fat, naked computer geeks?
doctor doom
Especially if they're masturbating in the cool light of their terminals.
Saint Bob
You do. Admit it.
ZooKeeper
having seen some of us in less than full dress, I can attest that we're not *all* fat, naked or otherwise. };>
doctor doom
that's what all BBSers say before you meet 'em.
Buster Hymen
Did you hear Howard today, talking about the BBS geeks who are having a big meet? All the creeps on Prodigy are getting together for a mutual disappointment festival.
JayDee
or their net connections cut...
Dimwit Flathead
Ah, but we're all computer geeks.
And those who aren't get twitted. ;}
doctor doom
No, I missed that! What did he say? I've felt for a long time that BBS meets would be fruitful bashing ground... especially chat boards and lame places like Prodigy.
The Predator
Prodigy is for pussies. I wish there was some way for me to crush them without actually having to be on prodigy. Howard was pretty funny talking about those geeks...but as they realized, all they have to do is mention them on the air and they'll talk about it for a year.
doctor doom
Who'll talk about it on the year? You need to be more clear about what your pronouns are referring to.
Buster Hymen
Howard and Robin and Gary were saying that if you mentioned the Prodigy radio discussion on the air, and if you mentioned the handles of some of the people involved, it would provide discussion fodder for the compu-geeks for a year.
It was pretty funny. In fact, there was one moment of perfect clarity. Apparently, the discussion on the air must've started when one of the Prodigy geeks called in to talk about the online discussion. Anway, after a good ten minutes of discussion (on the air) about the discussion (online), Howard offered the opinion that they were all more or less a bunch of nerds. And true to compu-geek form, the guy on the phone said, "Yeah, but we're intelligent."
WHAT A STRAIGHT LINE!
And Howard came flatly back with the answer, "Yeah, but you're really not. I mean, if you think about the reality of it, you're not really intelligent at all." Or something like that. Well, of course, the guy got huffy for a moment, and was trying to say that the Progidy discussion was intelligently conducted, which is always the defense that compu-geeks use when their hobby is challenged as stupid and pointless.
Then Gary said something like, "What's scary is that all of these people are intelligent enough to own computers and work computers, but yet their idea of an intelligent use of computers is to waste hours at a time talking about what you do on the radio."
VERY funny. Very to the point. It was a victory for all of us.
doctor doom
Hahahaha! My respect for Howard grows every day.
A key part of intelligence is the ability to be able to interact with other human beings. Computer-room nerds lack that. Therefore, rather than intelligent, they are more aptly described as "idiot savants" -- that is, people who are generally morons but have one saving grace. Except it isn't really saving and it isn't much of a grace.
Saint Bob
Who are you talking about?
Saint Bob
Computer-room nerds, I mean... Most of them that I've come into contact with appear to be a bit strange, and a bit socially "off", but I wouldn't call most of them morons or idiot savants.
Rocker
Right on about the hot tub. Every home should have one. P.S. I have also had the oops I left my pack behind (with my supplies in it) and can't get the sand out of my posterior experience. Really chills the old ardor. To the doctor and others, what's so different about naked
bbs geeks from anyone else? We all burn just the same.
Megamol
Fortunately there are enough different types of boards to suit each personality type. (Even if the rest of the people on the board sometimes wish that a particular personality would fade away....)

har!
Edit
Received message, dick nixon. Personal perception would concur,
results accurate. Unfortunately, in addition to your published
(and therefore punished) results, re-ran test resourcing
wider field...results conclusive: Cross section of cpusers
+/- .01% twits of continental United States.
Proposed solution: Immediate suicide.

Corpus Delectable
Back on the room topic now....
Spur
hmm, most interesting, huh?
dick nixon
suicide only answer.
all long range tests and hypotheses point
to this solution. the resultant effects are
obvoius and obviously most desirable.
do not resist.
ZooKeeper
I'm not nude, yet.
darn it all anyway.
Torch Song
I know the feeling, Sis. <sigh> One of the many drawbacks to having your computer in the living room of a house full of people...damn.
ZooKeeper
I'm not quite nude, but does just a big t-shirt count as close enough? ;>
Megamol
it probably does qualify ZK.......today i will settle for just being natural since I have to go out in the real world....
ZooKeeper
well, having finally (!) gotten things skewed around that I could get through the shower, I am now properly attired for this room. better? :>
Corpus Delectable
I know a lot of people who are nudists....I'm not but lots of people I've met are into it...
ZooKeeper
