Shorter Shorts — The Mens Room on True Nudists

Jul 22, 2020

Some of my gym shorts are wearing out so I ordered 2 new pair yesterday.
Since our grandson is here more and I am going less places that expect better dress, my gym shorts have seen a lot of use lately
My current supply has inseams in the 8" (20 cm) range, well above the knee but not really short.
Wanted to try something shorter so I ordered one pair with a 4" inseam and one with 5".
Will be fine at home, but don't know how it will work when I eventually get back to the gym. One of the reviewers called them the ideal work at home uniform. I suspect most of us would disagree and say that the ideal at home work uniform is nothing at all!

Not here, 50 F for a high and windy.
I did get some shirt free time and even a little nude time outdoors earlier this month.
Rare in November for us.

Did wear the shirt today from the car park to where I was sure I was going to meet any more textiles before reaching the CO section. Reason being that I wore my skimpy tie-side thong. The thong was not needed for much longer.
When leaving I stayed nude until I couldn't be sure those coming the other way were heading for the CO section. I was wondering if I could reach the car withoyt wearing the shirt but there were a couple of vehicles coming in and in that situation I was not prepared to chance upsetting them.
My shirt was probably not long enough to 'Donald Duck' the carpark and clothed section.

Opposite here in Melbourne. Lockdown over and, it seems, at least one beach-worthy day a week, often more. Today was glorious. Summer tan well on the way!

Depends where I am, since my non-g-string suits are still brief, typically less than 1" sides down to 1/4" such as Skinzwear M73, which I'll happily wear by itself in a beach-side carpark, but I'll probably wear a shirt over it if parking in a residential street, at least for now, perhaps because the CO beach is my likely destination if I am parking there. Elsewhere, I'd probably wear even that sans shirt.
Something like a Skinz M80 is truely go-anywhere for me if I am within walking distance of the coast, but sometimes the wife then demands the shirt once off the beach.

Have you ever bought a M57? Same front as the M73 but even narrower back. I bought one but decided that it was too brief to wear in a clothing required situation so I got rid of it.

[quote] Have you ever bought a M57?, Same front as the M73 but even narrower back.[/quote] Had to go back and check my orders to confirm which was which. :-) In that general theme, from Skinz, I have: M73: medium in ThinSkinz Java (brown, actually quite opaque). M73: medium in ThinSkinz Hot Pink (yet to worn on beach, opacity uncertain). M57: large in ThinSkinz Tangerine (burnt orange, less sheer than you might think - I don't worry about flashing anyone when I emerge from the water). M29: medium in ThinSkinz Maze & Black (with with stylized palm leaves in yellow & black - pattern disguises enough that I ignore opacity issues). I'm happy to wear the M57 anywhere and, although brief, I feel coverage is adequate, if daring. The M73 has a less-skinny rear but is quite low. The brown one skims my bum crack and the pink (although supposedly the same size) exposes around an inch of cleavage. Front is also low, unlike the M57. The M29 is amost as low and the main difference is a discrete dart at the bottom of the front pouch rather than a full front centre seam. Choosing medium instead of large doesn't help since I put on a few kilogrammes over winter! When I have purchased them, I usually waited until they had a good selection in their clearance section (and so may sometimes settle for a large instead of a medium based on stocks) and spread the delivery cost over a number of suits including some for my wife. Not cheap but their designs and quality are great! I truely have enough suits for a lifetime now and enjoy making a choice for each visit to a textile beach. I have not even given my wife all the suits I've purchased for her as she feels she has enough. I think there's always room for one further option to choose from.

I went through a period when I bought several very brief suits, but decided I wasn't really daring enough to wear them when clothing was required, so I got rid of them. I now have just 2 swimsuits, one 5 CM brief and one short swim shorts, both tan through. They are more comfortable than standard swimsuits because they are lighter weight and dry faster.

The coverage of the M57 is a bit more than the crack at the rear and they tend to stay in place without riding up - a great fit for me.

I have a Koala suit that is thinner at the rear but it does ride up slightly. Generates the smallest tanline possible without being a thong. The pouch is also the smallest I have - the shaft has to be tucked in upright, then sack without the testicles and then finally the testicles can be pushed in afterwards. I've only worn it for tanning, not swimming, generally in a quiet park close to work at lunch break. I could try it walking into the CO beach but would need to go through the fitting procedure.

I don't have any of my own photos, but here's what it looks like. My example seems narrower than the model's.

Looking at shorts for general wear, there's very few genuinely short styles for men, but a reasonable selection for women. With my renewed interest in wearing less from participating here, I'm starting to look at thrift shops to see what I can find!

[quote]I aways wounder why guys shorts and swimwear got bigger( long shorts) I Remember when they were smaller more like the woman style[/quote] I believe part of the reason shorts got longer was when boxers became more common as underwear. Swimsuits followed because men were getting out of the habit of showing their thighs.

I used to wear the short nylon running shorts back in the 80"s when they were in style. I am wearing them again since I can get them fairly cheap when they are on sale. Sofee is the brand and they call them Ranger Panty. Several of my pairs had the liner fall out of them ;-)

[quote]My BF said, if they were in style for men, he'd wear shorts so short, the bottom 2 inches of his ass cheeks would be exposed.[/quote] There's a number of designs at Koala swim, but I can appreciate if the limitation is what he's prepared to wear as opposed to what can be obtained. Perhaps he only needs to find something under the tree along with some encouragement from you! :-)

I wear short shorts in public showing a good bit of ass. Some times I will get asked to leave a store. Being a nudist and very Bi I am comfortable wearing them and some times very rewarding

Rarely see women around here in nightwear in public places, but men in sleep pants are fairly common. My wife often wears sleepwear at home when we don't have company. Adds a robe if she gets cool. I am often in my "sleepwear" at home in the summer when we don't have company. But I wear a wedding ring to bed and nothing else!

[quote] When you say day wear, do you mean at home or in public?[/quote] Home, garden, shops, visiting her parents. I haven't chosen anything transparent or too lacy, just something that she finds light, comfortable and airy on a hot day and is not restrictive. Slim but not tight. Shortish. Always just with shoulder straps.
