        I can’t help but think some guy’s realizing his weird fetish by showing his junk to unsuspecting people on the internet in the name of history education. The visualization is definetely helpful, as otherwise I wouldn’t be able to imagine this, but maybe a drawn image would have been more fitting.

          It’s wikipedia and it’s the human body - I don’t think that drawings can do it justice as a repository of information.

          I don’t see anything sexual with it. There’s also videos of proper fucking and creampies on some pages - I find those weirdly unsexual as well.

      Modesty and decency demanded that men who showed themselves naked in a public setting, such as athletes or actors, must conceal their glans.

      Naturally.

      Wh… Why… Why not just wear pants? I know it was ancient times, but didn’t they have something? Briefs, a diaper? Anything seems better than stripping your dick to your neck.

        Now we have elastics and stretchy fabric. I guess it was more difficult to have a firm and comfortable hold with loose fabric.

        They were naked when practicing athletics. I don’t know if it was a cultural thing or an actual lack of good options for sportswear, but I’ll bet you can find out with 5 minutes of searching online. My bet is it was just a cultural thing.

          I guess, when you have to make all your own clothes from scratch by hand, the advantage becomes apparent. People without armor also fought naked in battles. Understandable if you need to handwash and mend your clothes.

          Dude, I’m no prude. I have been known to be naked in public spaces. Just the idea, of tying a string to Your Johnson seems impractical. Either let it hang or cover it up with something comfortable.

        There are peoples in New Guinea where the men walk around with their penis attached to a cord tied around their waist. I had assumed the cord was tied to the head of their penis, but in fact the foreskin was tied around the cord. Hard to fathom for a circumcision victim like myself.

    This reminds me of a time when I was drunk, and said to my mate “Hey, wanna go run naked on the streets?” and he said “obviously”. So we were running naked in the middle of the night back and forward along the street, and another mate looks out the window, shakes his head and says “you idiots, without me?”. And he also stripped naked, jumped out of the window and joined us. Good times.

    What? Tech? Who cares. Why do we do this to ourselves ? Just get out and do something. Don’t over think it. Don’t make it worse with pointless guilt trips that really don’t add anything to the end goal. Wear a watch, or don’t… and I don’t care if you double back to get one just cuz you want or need it. That shouldn’t be the thing here. You do it the way you need to.

    just so long as you’re getting outside and looking after yourself. That’s the goal here.

      Running with music can mess up ypur pacing reducing the effectiveness of your training or workput. This only matters as much as this activity matters to you overall.

      I got a lot faster running distances after I started leaving my Sony Sports Walkman at home granted those actually had weight to them.

        This only matters as much as this activity matters to you overall.

        You can speak for you only.

        some people struggle just to get outside. and that matters. And it’s not about running faster. That isn’t the goal for everyone.

        You dont need to elitist it up to dismiss any effort to do something healthy for themselves.

        It matters overall if they even make the effort music or not. We don’t need imposing unnecessary rules on something that should be simplified to just make the effort not win a race.

        Not everything needs to be a competition to matter. To each their own.

    I had a similar problem with a cafe bar doing a “Bottomless Brunch”.

    Anyway, it turns out it’s some weird, trendy new phrase for “all-you-can-eat” or “buffet”.

    It is not in any way along the same lines as a “Topless Beach”.

        Yes, it does appear that “all-you-can-drink” seems to be part of the offer in many (perhaps all?) cases.

        Anyway, definitely don’t start taking off your trousers and underwear.

    I played naked frisbee on the front lawn of my college once. I thought it would be effortless but in fact it’s extremely painful to have your nuts bouncing around unsupported like that. But I kept at it until the Dean of Students came up to me and asked me to put my clothes back on because it was prospective weekend and there were a bunch of high school students with their parents standing off to one side. I thought I was accurately representing what the college was all about but he thought otherwise.

    I felt bad years later when I found out the Dean’s brother had been murdered in Mississippi during the civil rights era (they even made a Hollywood movie about this incident). He must have felt great knowing his brother had been killed fighting for black people, and he was busy making stupid white boys put their pants back on.

      I had a similar discovery about kickboxing practice and boxers. It’s not fun when you’re holding a thigh pad for your partner to practice kicking, and you realize that your legs can transmit energy, much like a newton’s cradle.

    All top results on DuckDuckGo for naked running are about the literal meaning of it. Is it actually used as a term for tech-free (but clothed) running? Press X to doubt.

    I’d call it “rawdog running” if anything, but that doesn’t sound right either.

      I always run without music! I love the mindfulness of just being aware of my surroundings!

      I guess this would very much depend on where you run, though. I would never run on a treadmill without music or a podcast, and running next to traffic would probably also be bad without listening to something.

        It’s strange, when I sync up my gait to the tempo of the music, I don’t feel as tired during the run. It seems to help me keep going without feeling like I’m going to drop.

          I feel more like I’m dancing when I run or cycle in time to music, and that makes it seem more like fun than exercise. Same rationale as when I got high as a kite before/during my runs/rides. When I quit smoking weed, I was very worried that I was also going to quit exercising but that turned out not to be the case, fortunately.

        Second this, when i Run without music, i get more easily Into the Runners high (the Zone), while with Music on, its more difficult at least for me.

        You get more wäre of your surroundings and also your Body, which helps me to get Into that meditative-like state before the High hits

      I stopped running with music when I ran a half marathon once and about 17km in I just started getting annoyed by it. I’m out there dying, and some asshole is screaming into my ears.

      Idk, I enjoy running by itself. I ran a full marathon without music and didn’t get bored once. I’d either just enjoy myself, think about random stuff, look around me, play music / sing in my mind etc. But to each their own I guess.

    I’ve never run with music. It appears to me, to be a pretty dangerous activity in an urban environment. I’ve had a few near misses ‘naked’. Music while running has never really interested me anyway. I’m old so maybe that’s why…

      Music really helps with interval running ( If that’s the correct word, I have English as second language), just load up a playlist with fitting tempos and then just follow the rhythm.

      I prefer to hear the sounds of nature though, but not all live as rural as I

          If manufacturers specifically marketed those for running, then they’re at fault, yeah. Otherwise, if you take the basic idea of how it works, you’d know it probably won’t cut it for running. Anti-skip works by basically reading ahead (faster than playback) and caching a few seconds of playback (in a place that’s not the disc so it’s not affected by vibrations) so that when a sudden shock happens every once in a while, playback will continue from the cache and the normal disc reading will have time to catch up; if however every step you do while running is potentially a shock big enough to disrupt the reading of the disc, the caching just won’t have time to catch up.

          P.S. Sorry if that sounded a bit rant-y.

    They do a naked run every semester at Berkeley the week before finals. Its called dead week, where there’s no classes, and its a time for students to cram for their exams, or, you know, run naked around campus.
