Bouncy. Bouncy. Bouncy.
There were more than basketballs and volleyballs bouncing around the gym at a naturism event I attended on Friday evening.
Yes, I was reminded — too late for that event — that some textiles have their place at certain naturism events.
Such as sports bras and jock straps.
I wasn’t the only female to realize that our bouncy boobs can interfere with the flow of the game when one is driving toward the basketball net.
It also can be a somewhat painful experience at times, especially during the descent from a layup.
Next time, I’ll be wearing a sports bra — along with the running shoes I WAS wearing Friday night, because I had remembered that bare feet on a basketball court can lead to stubbed toes and other injuries.
That’s perfectly OK, according to the president of our naturism group. Safety trumps nudity rules in such cases.
I’m thinking it might be advisable to wear some protective gear while playing volleyball, too — but neither the males nor the females playing that sport in the gym Friday night were wearing jock straps or sports bras.
Which got me to wondering, given the popularity of volleyball among naturists: how many of you wear protective gear when you play this sport in the buff? Or any sport?
Have any naturists reading this post experienced injuries that might have been mitigated by jock straps and sports bras?
What about your naturism groups?
Do you play sports together? If so, what protective gear do members wear, if any? Is it mandatory, such as the wearing of bathing caps is in one group I talked about in a previous post.
Feedback, please.

I haven’t played a sport naked in a gymnasium before but I can certainly imagine the scenarios you describe. I’ll have to try it of course, but wearing running shoes is a no-brainer since sweat and wet floors can be dangerous.

The snowflakes would have you wear a helmet too!

I hike. A lot. Hat and shoes with good socks are essential. You need some kind of pack to carry the essentials for anything but the shortest hike. In fair weather you don’t really need anything else.
When I run the Bare to Breakers or the Naked Beer Mile or ride the WNBR or go bouldering, same thing applies. (Bouldering requires a helmet and gloves. Those are also useful on a bike.) Penises are designed to swing freely without any harm and your testes will retract on their own. (They’ve been doing that for a million years.)
More vigorous sports or those with the possibility of contact require support. I’m a nudist, not a stupidist.

The only sport I’ve had the opportunity to participate in without clothing is bowling when a local nudist organization books a bowling alley exclusively for our use. The alley requires that we wear their shoes, which I would do anyway. I’m with Fred regarding the design of penises and testicles to swing freely without harm. I can understand the need for sports bras for comfort and to avoid injury. When I go on short hikes in a nearby forest, I wear shoes and a hat, and I carry a backpack. Overall, though, I’m comfortable with body parts doing what body parts do when engaging in any given activity.

I don’t think you need worry about male injuries when exercising nude; detumescence and retraction do a good job of keeping our bits from flapping around too heavily, in my experience. Women have no such luck unfortunately.
