When my joke backfired - my last time naked in public as a teenager

[Mattheus]

I remember the last time I was forced to spend time naked in public as a teenager—I was 14, maybe even 15, I'm not entirely sure now. We were spending a vacation at the Baltic Sea with my parents and my brother.

I remember I was swimming in blue swim briefs back then and spent days on the beach wearing them, so I got a really strong tan. On the last day, we went for a sunset walk and a final swim in the sea before heading home. Before I even put on my swim briefs, I was walking around in my regular underwear, and I gave myself a wedgie to proudly show my parents my tan lines. I said something like, "Look how tanned I am—it looks like I have a second pair of underwear underneath!" laughing at my own joke.

I immediately regretted my own words, and it stopped being funny—my dad, as you might guess, loved the idea. He agreed that I was right, and since I already had my "natural underwear" on, I didn't need to put on swim briefs on top. So I spent the whole evening just in my "second pair of underwear."

Luckily, it didn't last super long, because it was already quite late, the sun was setting, and the place wasn't very crowded—only a few families were within sight.

If you can see families nearby, then they can see you.
What was the reaction to seeing a naked boy, one who is a little too old to be running around all bare.

Is this beach partially nudist...such as topless women and young kids going naked? If not, then seeing a 14 year old would be a nice surprise.

It was a normal beach – actually, it was at the Baltic Sea in Poland, not in Germany. And Poland is a super prudish country where there's no place even for things like women going topless . Kids do run around naked sometimes, but only the little ones.

To be honest, I don't really remember people's reactions, because I was so embarrassed that I didn't look at anyone's face.

What I do remember very well, though, is this one Polish boy who was roughly my age. He and his parents would always set up next to us on the beach, but we never became friends – he always gave me this sort of dirty, suspicious, unfriendly look. I gave it right back to him, so our entire interaction just turned into an exchange of unpleasant, hostile glares. Of course, they were also there that evening...

When I went with my brother and dad to jump in the waves, he went with his dad too – obviously wearing swim trunks – and this time he came unusually close, even bumped into me once. He kept smirking the whole time and looking with contempt at... well, the obvious spot. It didn't exactly boost my confidence, and the water in the Baltic is very cold...
