Men swimming naked was not that uncommon thirty or so years ago. When I was a kid in high school the boys took swimming and no one wore (or was allowed to wear) a swim suit. What’s different today is that women have put themselves in a position such that they are required to watch it. I would say that’s their problem.

things have changed. and why do you think male SS agents need to see Biden naked??? Maybe they don’t. He needs to cover himself up.

"Men swimming naked was not that uncommon thirty or so years ago”

Yeah, I went "skinny-dipping with my friends and all was well until I realized there were snapping turtles in the water.

Let's say snapping turtles love eating fat grubs and I didn't want to lose mine

(grins)

From then on I went with a pair of blue jean cut offs.

Same here. Chicago public high schools and park district indoor pools. Stark naked in the early ‘50’s. Nobody gave a rip.

That was more than 30 years ago, more like 50 years ago or at least 1970ish.

A ridiculous statement. Most men swim with trunks on when swimming in front of others. What female secret service agent would think they had to endure the sight of Biden swimming naked? Only a slob or an exhibitionist would swim naked in front of a SS woman who was only trying to do her job.

Biden is part of the #metoo movement so it's Biden's problem now.

We used to go sneak off and go swimming in the Pecos river at church camp. Walked into a rattle snake den one night.That was really exciting. Five 14 yr old boys scrambling through the mesquites in the dark.

30 years ago? I was a swimming coach 30 years ago. Yes, that would have been quite odd 30 years ago. Maybe not 50 or 60 years ago.

So any staff working for a VIP has to be prepared to view nudity as part of job requirement? Is that a disclosed prior to employment? Does that extend to the office?

Not sure where you went to high school, but it was not common any place where I was living 30 years ago or 50 years ago for that matter...Not common anywhere.

Do you think it is OK for anyone and everyone (especially VP) to walk around the house naked in front of any women in their employ?

Were the parents in your town really that stupid in the late 1980s? At least the queer coaches were able to view the merchandise.

[Vermont Lt]

Aren’t the agents supposed to be looking “away” anyway?

I wonder if swimming naked was a regional tradition.

When I was seven, my family moved to Conn. I took swimming lessons at the local college and we swam naked; which was shocking for a seven year old. I lived in the south before and after that period and we always wore something, even when swimming in creeks.
