I don't think the two things are related. I have gone skinny dipping with female friends back in my late teens and early twenties but it never resulted in a sexual encounter. We had known for a long time and it was clear to both sides that we're "only" platonic friends.
Now, I haven't gone skinny dipping in a long time but I sometimes go to the sauna (mixed) with my wife during the winter. Of course there are sometimes attractive women and I would lie if I said that I've never been turned on. However, thinking about sexual things and pursuing it is still quite a difference... even when you're single, I'd say.
Well, it's far from a green light that you're ready for takeoff, but for sure it's a good sign. At the very least it signals that the people involved are comfortable with nudity and probably far more likely than the average person to have a more open and casual attitude toward sex. Of course, none of that suggests that YOU will be the beneficiary of that attitude, so there's still some more work to do.
Thanks for most helpful
While I don’t think it’s total consent to sex I do think that it’s saying you’re open to it happening. I wouldn’t get naked and wet around someone platonically, if I’m showing my body I’m down to get laid.
I get that not everyone feels that way, but it’s what I would always assume in this situation
I think that's what many people would assume so, even if you don't personally feel that way, you should expect that someone else may.
Completely. Being aware of how your actions will be interpreted by others is important. Not only to save friendships from becoming awkward but for safety too
Obviously, you get it!
No.
Doing things that will probably create sexual arousal in someone of the opposite sex, whether it be skinny-dipping, wearing yoga pants, showing cleavage, etc. is not in any way synonymous with wanting to fuck these individuals.
Really? If you get naked with a man, what else is he supposed to think?
@cth96190 a ton of things. How cold the water in the pacific ocean is around his dick as he redirect his attention to noticing how quickly his balls retract, for example.
The responses from guys suggest that many of them thinks that you are probably receptive to having sex. That may not be what YOU are thinking but that is what THEY are thinking.
Nah. You'd be surprised (I certainly was) at how NON-SEXUAL skinny dipping is when you're actually doing it.
It was pretty sexual when I did it, and very nicely so!

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!If it was with just one person, it seems pretty sexual. If it was a larger group, more like innocent fun.
I have not done it, but I think it sends that message regardless if they is their actual intention or not
I've never gone skinny dippin, ever. I'd rather skinny dip in my pool than in a creek or pond.
Yes. The poll doesn't give me the option to just say yes
I'd be totally up for it but only, like drunk with friends, or with my boyfriend/crush
I should clarify, I'm not up for casual sex, I meant I would only do it with friends who knew it was just for fun or people I actually wanted sex with so that I don't give the wrong impression to random guys
Got it! Wanna go skinny dipping? JK :) :) :)
Skinny dipping only with boyfriend or friends of the same gender. I think it can certainly signal availability for sex or worse send a signal that could be easily misunderstood.
I think it depends on an individual's view of the opposite sex. If you're a man who views women, or vice versa, in terms of her/his sexuality only, or vice versa, it would, subsequently, affect how you view these type of activities. If you are a person, who is able to another person outside of their sexuality, and as a whole person, and not as an object , one should be sexually entitled to, situations like these would be far less awkward, even if physical attraction is present. It is possible to be attracted to someone and be able to manage it in appropriate and healthy ways, if you are a person who thinks that people of the opposite sex are more than just objects for one's visual enjoyment and that attraction is more than purely physiacl. Situations are only as awkward as you make them.
@umami5 I never said either was a requirement... I said either could be a possibility.
Of course it's a possibility, but it doesn't have to be awkward. It's only awkward if a person makes it that way, in terms of how that person thinks about sex, sexuality and attraction.
Um all of the above have happened
If open to get naked with you then i would say i am in they have to be pretty comfortable to go skinny dipping with anyone. Its sexual by nature since usually you won't see them naked unless your about to bed them or walked in on them somehow lol.
I get mentally turned on by like 99% of women in decent shape, whether they are clothed or not. Guess I’m weird.
No, I would not assume she is any more/less receptive because she is naked around several people. It doesn’t matter anyhow unless I’m seriously interested in pursuing her which requires more than her simply having female body parts.
No. Casual nudity does not have to lead to sex. It certainly is not a form of consenting to sex. I've gone skinny dipping with mixed groups of people quite a few times, and no sex ever happened. Its just fun to let down your guard with friends and have fun swimming.
I have swum nude with individual women, once with a couple of them, and many times in large groups. Only time that led to sex was when I had sex with a gal in the hotel pool after hours while another couple was in with us. But most times it was arousing, but not an invitation to sex.
Yeah I don't know about that. Maybe some or most perhaps. But look at nudist colonies. They spend their whole day naked around like folk and they don't perform mass orgies usually. It's all in attitude and understanding of the view of "naked" to the individual. I mean, some of the women friends I have, if I was naked around them, and saw their gorgeous bodies, yeah sure, I'd probably get hard. But then, if I knew they weren't interested or weren't horny or what have you, then I would respect this and just go soft again and be natural around them eventually. As well, if you are around someone naked a lot, over time, I feel that desire wouldn't be a thing anymore, since it will start feeling more natural and not a thing. Desire is more mental than physical I would think.
Have done it, didn't lead to anything, would depend on the person in question whether or not I'd "allow" it to lead to anything.
Well I certainly haven't felt that way, I've only though of it as swimming with friends sans clothing. I mean I can see what you are getting at, but for me there has always been a group of people, so any amorous thoughts have been kept to themselves if there has been any. But I suppose if it was just you and a person you were infatuated with, then I suppose it could happen.
I've done it once before, and nothing sexual happened, although one of the guys later told me he masturbated to the image of me naked. This was back in high school.
Hope that did not upset you. That you saw it as a compliment.
@Red_Arrow I did.
Glad that you took it that way, because it really was.
I've skinny dipped with a group of people before, I didn't have sex with any of them. Why does nudity always equal sex to people? It was exhilarating and funny and caused a bit of a bond between friends.
Was it exhilarating in an arousing way? Did any of the guys have erections?
lol. If the water was as cold as it usually is, I doubt any of them could have erections.
No. Why would they? We were jumping into freezing cold water in the night. The last thing those guys had was an erection. Like @red_arrow said. I know plenty of guys who don't get aroused so easily.
I never gone skinny dipping lol.
Not necessarily but it implies a lot.
Though, I don't go for skinny dipping but I think it depends on what kind of people you are with. Sex encounter may or may not happen. Just depends upon how much open minded a person is.
I'm sorry but I am old school, if I am am getting naked with a woman or women, the first thing I will do is give them their respective turn my head and give opportunity to get clothing on or extract themselves from the situation. If after that there are still naked women around who are cool with naked me around... are you kidding me? Any man who says "It's no big deal I am above that" is asexual or homosexual and hey that's great but heterosexual men who see or are in the presence of Naked women, are going to have a very strong reaction. They may be able to have self control enough not to show they are having a reaction but they are
I think depends a lot depends where you are and the culture like say in Germany or Scandinavia a nude mixed sauna followed by a swim would be run of the mill.
I became aroused then she made a comment about how stiff my erection was I began to masturbate while she urged me on to ejaculation.
