SmokeScreener, you said, "i doubt there is a person on these boards who hasnt looked at a nude beach photo on the net".
If I understand your statement correctly, then I have not looked at such sites. I have at times looked at beach cams that show the conditions of waves. But I have never looked for or at sites that had nude people (people at all for that matter) on them.
As far as taking my picture nude, I guess it doesn't really bother me because 1) I am doing nothing to be ashamed and 2) with my body type, I doubt that anyone is actually interested.
Just my opinions ...
