You also don't have to walk around in a dripping pair of trunks.
You also don't have to worry about jellyfish swimming up your trunks.
You also don't get grating sand in your crotch.
You also get to take girl-watching to a whole new level.

I wish that were true. But keep this in mind. There are no federal laws
(in the USA) concerning public nudity. Seek out federal land, post a
warning sign, and you're completely within your rights, as long as you
are 500 yards from any public thoroghfare (road, sidewalk, etc.), or not
along the sightline of a casual glance.

Well, those people number about 2%% of the population of the world, last I
heard. Nude resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico are on the rise,
however. But most people in today's society have been taught by parents
and religious leaders to be ashamed of their bodies. Imagine that...

There are many other possibilities!
How about:
Clothing-optional shopping.
Clothing-optional golf.
Clothing-optional barbeques.
Clothing-optional church.

And if he's homosexual, he's still accepted societally, since sexuality
and nudism are completely separate issues - something your average Joe
(or Josephine) doesn't understand.
Another nice plus is that the usual human generalizing classification by
income, career, etc., disappears completely in a nudist environment.
Everyone suddenly looks the same! It's a really cool social experience.
