I was on the beach in the Florida panhandle laying on my stomach under a Nesso sunshade. I notice a middle age to older couple walk up next to me taking a photo. They were not dressed in beach attire and looked like tourist from some other state. The woman quickly explained they liked my sunshade and were taking a photo. Unlikely story. Rather being irritated and chastising them for their rude behavior, I stood up and posed so they could also get a frontal shot of my pushout thong. They quickly left and my friend said they were definitely photographing my rear. Maybe I encouraged bad behavior but I enjoyed giving them something to remember.

I didn't get caught by a Karen type today, but CK was. My wife and I were heading to the surf as Ck was passing by. As CK was passing this woman, she took at least one photo of his behind. As she started to pass in front of us she had a classic Karen scowl. I wanted to ask her if she wanted a picture of my butt too. My wife convinced me that it probably wasn't a good idea. My wife also placed herself between myself and the Karen in case woman turned around to take a photo of me. On his way back past us from his walk, CK stopped under our Cabana and we had a nice chat and told him about Karen.

Yeah, I don’t mind having someone snap a picture. This year after being on a long cruise and the resort in Jamaica, only being in thongs or strings, people will take your picture or video. Sometimes you know it and sometimes you don’t. However, you can tell when you’re taking a long walk on the beach when someone’s getting ready to snap your picture after you pass them by. Happens every time when I’m up at Sunset Beach and taking up 2 mile walk down to the jetty. When I’m walking and pass people I don’t look back to see their reaction or if they take a picture. I walk, just as I am. I just happen to be in a very small swimsuit… When I have looked for any type of those pictures on social media, you don't find anything. I’ve always seen it once and that was in a Carnival Cruise Facebook chat for a specific cruise this year that someone posted in the “pics of the day” me at the beach in the Bahamas. So I think overall the chances that they would get wide exposure on social media is very low.

Was laying out naked on a beach in Fuerteventura recently. Two girls set up closer to the water but directly in line with my feet. I figured they would see up my regions so I shifted a bit so they wouldn’t have to put up with that. They chatted and giggled a bit and later when I was sitting up but sideways to them they took a selfie. It seemed they deliberately included me in the background. My OH thought it was funny and relieved that their pic didn’t include any tackle. Naturists mix happily with textiles on most Fuerteventura beaches. A local trip advisor poster reports that naturists wear a little something down below when there are lots of families around. Fwiw thongs and gstrings are way more attractive than things gynaecological or urological imv. But I do like an all over tan.

I’m amazed that anyone would want a photo of me. There are so many more younger and very attractive people. But sometimes strange things happen. Years ago I was doing a 5k thong run and there was a roaming street photographer working the event. I was anxious to see the pics and immediately checked his website. Yes, there I was. There was at least one great shot of me, all sweaty and glistening in the sun. Looking very manly. But there was another, me pounding down the road, tailed by a car with the passenger taking phone pics. I hope it was because the sight of my backside aroused her. I was clueless when this happened. I bought both pictures. It still make me smile.

I was pleasantly surprised today when a Thong board member I met earlier this summer at the lake texted me he saw pictures of me posted online and there were over 500 comments. I have been wearing thongs and g-strings at the local lake since 1988 usually at the same area. I know this is a conservative area but I haven't had many negative comments to my face. I know most guys don't feel comfortable thonging where others might know them, but I rarely think about what others think. I hate hiding who I am and feel free and liberated when I wear a g-string in public. I know I am legal and see women and girls in g-strings at the lake and if they are legal I am. I read through the comments. About what I expected. Some said I had confidence and living my best life, others talked about the double standard, some said I had taken too many noassatall tablets, a lot said not appropriate, they didn't want to see that. Others mentioned women and children. One even quoted laws he thought I was breaking and one Karen said I was a pervert, another said I might be in sex trafficking. Then there were the posts from people who had actually talked with me over the years who said I was a very nice guy. One guy's wife wanted to know where to buy a g-string and I told the guy I had a few extras with me, what color do you want? I remember the couple since the guy kept saying I was packing and blessed. One guy said it was the smallest g-string he has ever seen and how I must like an overall tan. Others mentioned France and Europe where seeing a man in a g-string was normal. Several people told the guy posting pictures he didn't ask permission to take my pictures and he was doing something wrong where I was legal. Others commented why he had pictures of me on his phone. I know the pictures were taken last Friday. I walked over 8 miles along the shore, stopping to talk with several friends and picking up glass. One friend walked with me for over a mile. I always wave and say hello if I see someone looking and will gladly answer questions when asked. One guy Friday stopped me and said he thought he was at St. Martin beach where he and his wife spend a month each summer. Another guy after seeing me dropped his swimsuit to expose his ass and gave me a thumbs up smiling. I stopped worrying about my pictures showing up online years ago and the comments are usually the same. Only this time there were more positive comments and people defending my right to wear a g-string.

Encouraging!

I walk around a bit at beaches so sometimes I get my picture taken. With phones everywhere it happens. I actually don't mind or I wouldn't be walking around like that in a public space. But being an old guy it is rare to be asked to pose. If someone strikes up a friendly conversation they occasionally ask for a picture. It is nice that they ask so always agree. Other than my Album pictures here I've never found any pictures of myself online and am not worried about that.
