As a child of the "consequences free" 70's, there was a period when, nine months pregnant with what was to be a 10 lb. baby, I bared it all on a secluded beach with a friend who had invited me out for the day.

It had been suggested to me that breastfeeding might be easier if I allowed the elements to provide a little "toughening up." Something for which I had never felt the need before. Or since. While I reclined like a beached whale and she cavorted on her sail board, a rustling in the bushes alerted me to the fact that we were not alone...

A few moments later, a vaguely familiar man appeared out of the under growth.

A man I had to face every day for months until we moved...a man who greeted me by name...and appeared oddly, happier to see me than I was to see him. My mailman.

This episode has brought me to two conclusions. One: It is false to assume here are some portions of our anatomy that benefit from even the mildest of exposure to the sun.

And two: that one should only be seen naked by people who are either related to you through blood or marriage or in some other in a real and legally binding sense.

My 90 year-old woman neighbor used to sun bathe in the nude. My mother forbade us to look. I'm convinced my brother looked because he is gay now
