SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Something could soon be coming between San Francisco's proud nudists and their unusual freedom to bare it all.

Walking around naked is legal in the city under most circumstances, but a city supervisor concerned about public health and sanitation introduced legislation Tuesday that would require the clothing averse to put a cloth or other barrier under their bottoms if they take a seat in public.

Wiener represents the city's Castro District, where a group of men locals refer to as "the naked guys" is known to strut its stuff, and some residents have grown weary of uncensored views.

One of the guys, Eric Anderson, said people offended by public displays of nudity need to examine why they have issues with the human body.

"To force their conservative views on me isn't fair," he told the Chronicle while sitting on a metal chair in a Castro plaza with a book, a sandwich and a sarong separating his backside from the seat.

They should be darted and removed to the wilderness.

Is this full-up frontal nudity or just partial nudity? In California...I think there is a difference.

I doubt if too many people are actually wandering around naked up there. SF is usually way too cold, even in summer.

“Wiener represents the city’s Castro District, where a group of men locals refer to as “the naked guys” is known to strut its stuff...”

According to Frommer’s Guide To San Francisco, the number one travel tip for men visiting the city is to kick your wallet down to Market St. if you drop it on Castro St.

The guys who do this are always gay, old, and fat as hell.

I used to workout at the SOMA 24 hr. fitness and there was a lot of noise down the hill a couple blocks:

I walk down there, as I thought it was a food festival, but it turned out it was the Folsom Street “Up your Alley Festival”.

And gross fat guys were fellating each other in public, in full view of the cops, and they weren’t doing ANYTHING about it.

Some even pee’d on each other. I’m serious.

People sitting nude and in public is gross beyond words. If I want an underview or overview of hemorrhoids I will go to a medical book, not a park bench.

An antimacassar is a small cloth placed over the backs or arms of chairs, or the head or cushions of a sofa, to prevent soiling of the permanent fabric.

But they wear hats because they’re afraid someone might see that they’re bald.

As some FReeper posted yesterday about this....”the problem with nudists is that there’s no quality control”
