Full origin of skinny dipping →Frequently asked questions
Is skinny dipping the same as nudism?
No. Skinny dipping is a one-off, usually spontaneous swim without clothes. Nudism, or naturism, is an ongoing practice and social philosophy of going without clothes, generally in designated places or clubs.
Is skinny dipping legal?
It depends entirely on where you are. Many countries and states treat public nudity as an offence unless you are at a designated nude beach or on private land, so the same swim can be perfectly legal in one spot and an arrestable offence a mile away.
