Why is CFNM so exciting?
We all have different reasons why we find CFNM to be so exciting. When I was a young man, I enjoyed going to a clothing optional beach. I would sunbathe nude near young women who wore swimsuits. The contrast between my being nude and the women being clothed added to my feelings of exposure and vulnerability. They could see every inch of my body. They could see what my cock and ass looked like. If I got an erection, they could see that too. I could see quite a bit of their bodies, but their private areas were covered. I had to imagine what they looked like underneath their swimsuits. Why do you find CFNM to be so exciting?
I'd echo the sense of vulnerability. The "protection" of clothing is to a certain extent illusionary but I suspect only the most nudist would have zero consciousness of that difference.
I guess even donning a swimsuit is a step along that path. I remember the occasion at a swim school where I encountered the mother of my kid's friends when she had just emerged from the pool in her basic one-piece while I was in street clothes. Were skilled and said "Hi!" to each other and everything was fine but I was conscious of the unbalance.
One occasion where that situation was sort of reversed was when I visited Peninsula Hot Springs. I wore a 1" swim brief which was what I thought was the best compromise in a conservative-ish environment where less may have been pushing a bit too far. We were provided with a dressing gown but after a few minutes I ended up carrying it in my arms as we explored the various pools, despite my brief suit and others regularly donning their gowns. Later in the evening the area we were in was closing but we were able to move to the general area which closed later. I was quite happy to just carry the gown as we walked through the booking office from one side to the other, post the last at the counter.
At Sunnyside there can often be textile types walking through as either end of the beach is accessible and the northern end leads to a residential area. On one memorable occasion a lady in a nice sundress walked from one end to the other and back. I only gave her a smile and a "Hello", which she reciprocated, as we crossed while walking and wanted to chat about how she came to be there, her impressions, etc., but chickened out. Another guy got that privilege as she returned, in conversation with him. On other occasions various couples attend the beach where the guy stays nude but his girl not necessarily though.
So I guess I'm conscious of the imbalance, but as long as I'm certain the CF doesn't mind then I'm fine with it and perhaps just a little exhilarated about the opportunity, especially if we can interact though sharing a little conversation. I wouldn't be trying to make myself aroused (and I doubt that would happen with my physiology) but if it did happen, it would be nice. It's the ultimate in openness!
Very interesting comments. For me, CFNM is about the sense of "imbalance" and vulnerability. I remember a few years back when I was registering to use the recreation facility that is run by my community. While a girl was taking my information, a guy walked up to the desk wearing a very skimpy swimsuit that barely covered him. The girl was fully clothed. I thought to myself, how can you walk up to her in that skimpy suit? It wasn't CFNM, but the guy looked so exposed in that situation. Probably if the girl had been wearing a swimsuit too, I wouldn't have reacted that way.
At the clothing optional beach that I would frequent, there was what I would refer to as a "transitional area". It was between the area of the beach where people were allowed to be nude and the area where everyone was required to wear a swimsuit. Sometimes I would sit at the beginning of the transitional area because that would give me an opportunity to be nude in front of women who were clothed.
