Last year, one of FH's most clicked and linked to posts was Into The Deep End. The story focused not just on naked guys swimming, but the true story of a time when many public pools had a rule that boys and men must swim in the nude. Elements of CFNM, vulnerability, and mandatory nudity were on in play, but I was struck by the non-sexualization of men's bodies in such a forced and sexual way.
Women's bodies were one's to be covered, where as the male form was seen as no big deal. Naked men were surrounded by little boys and girls through class mates and grandmothers without hormones, impulses or shame being considered in the equation. I was also struck by how things have changed. Today, female nudity is common place, but the sight of a male penis in a book, magazine or TV show is cause for boycotts and protests. During the days of co-ed swims however, the assumption was no one cared, judged, compared nor looked.... yeah right...
Since that post last year, I have found and been sent many other shots covering the time of public co-ed swimming. I have put some of my favorites on Page 2 HERE:

Those must have been the days. I would love to feel what mandatory nude public swimming would feel like.
