 It might interest you to know that you're not alone in your
  enjoyment of nude recreation.

          America Says Yes to Nude Beaches
  Should people be free to enjoy nude sunbathing without interference
by officials as long as they do so at beaches that have found acceptance
for that purpose?  Some 72% [!] of Americans answer "Yes" according to
a survey conducted by The Gallup Organization for The Naturist Society
of Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
  Not only do most American adults accept nude sunbathing but 15% have
themselves "skinnydipped" in a mixed group, according to the Gallup
poll.  (In the American western region, 23% have done it.)  Only 5%
of older adults have participated while 24% of the 18-29 age group have
joined other men and women in nude bathing.
  The telephone interviewing of representative survey of 1,037 was conducted
in May of 1983.  The margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points,
the Gallup Organization said.

  How about *that*?
