Gray

This will always be something I recommend all gay men do. It may sound ridiculous at first but the first time I went fully naked at a nude gay beach completely changed the way I view my body and the "pressures" gay men are under to look a certain way. My confidence was instantly fixed the second I realised that, in real life, these pressures are largely meaningless. When you're nude and no one is making a fuss because everyone else is nude too and they're of all shapes and sizes, you stop giving a f*ck about that stretch mark you never got rid of, whether you're bloated or not, if you're sitting at the right angle etc. You see couples, some conventionally attractive, some not at all, all calm and happy and free of judgement and you realise that there's someone for everyone and that no one necessarily agrees with you on what "attractive" looks like and how beautiful that is. Go. Go especially if you're insecure about your body. There's no pressure to take anything off at most of these beaches. But honestly, if you gather the nerve? Do it. You'll never see your body the same way again. And you'll certainly never care about what the internet has to say either. Happy dipping! ✌🏼🏳️‍🌈🏖️☀️🍆🍑
