Much of the thrill we get from exhibitionism/voyeurism is the interaction between us and other people who happen to be in the same place at the same time. It's the "social" in social nudity if you will. The first thing we do on arrival to a park, pool, party or beach, is size up the crowd and decide if bare boobs or more is something that is going to feel good. It's about seeing the smiles you bring, making friends and having conversation about nudity and our bodies. It has nothing to do with laying out for a surreptitious click of a lens, the ultimate gawk if you will.
We love the galleries of bare2breakers, friends, erotic balls etc. these people are on the world stage, the sneaky camera stuff just gives us the creeps...sorry but it's the awful truth...."the gaze of the unseen eye" is an ancient offense. I have lots of pictures of her naked in public, we show them to friends but she doesn't want them posted on the web. And if she don't want me posting you can bet she don't want you posting. And the thought of it makes here think twice about stripping, if you think I don't have a problem with that you need more than a good dictionary.
I'm glad to hear women have asked to have a photo of you, key word 'ask'. Is common courtesy still common? To take a picture of someone without their permission is rude, to take a picture without knowledge is just wrong.
: I'm not sure what the verb "glomming" is, so I do not know to what you speak.
: I am a contributor, male and single. I go to nude beaches for a variety of reasons, as I am both an exhibitionist and voyeur. The photography is simply capturing for posperity moments that I find exhilarating to revisit and to share. I was doing this before I met Cocco.
: I have twice caught women secretly videotaping me while I was nude and they were not. Although I'm a bit out of shape now, at the time I had a well built physique, and felt it a compliment. In addition, clothed females have asked to take my picture, and I obliged.
: If your wife is an exhibitionist, and you enjoy that exhibitionism, then why do men ogling her or desirous of seeing her in "naughty" pictures bother you?

: : My lifelong interest in public nudity led to my marriage to a confirmed exhibitionist..I have never been able to maintain relationships with women who weren't so like minded. I took her to her first nude beach, she wanted to lay out so "everyone can see my pussy". It's still her favorite thing but without a good mix of people it's just not as fun. So we save the journey to Blacks for big weekends. Meanwhile she has taken to going topless on textile beaches. She has taken her top off on dozens of beaches between San Francisco and San Diego. As it turns out most beaches in California (excluding LA)are very tolerant of naked breasts on the beach. Even families give mostly grins, by far the common reaction. So if your a woman or a couple looking for a little topfreedom as well as gawkfreedom, avoid the nude beaches you will be surprised how relaxed and natural it can be. And if we infuse the entire coast the gawkers won't know where to go.
: : Call it an assumtion but it seems most of the contributors to this site are single men glomming nudist for 'naughty' photos...I hope not. It's just wrong to take so much and give so little.
