So… running
Retronym.
A new name for something that has changed because of technology. Acoustic guitars and prop planes are examples. Silent movie, black and white movie, antenna televison, etc, etc.
Back in my day we just called this “running”
Back in my day we had to run uphills both way, naked, in the snow!
Damn straight and coach would make you run the whole thing again as a cool down.
“Streaking”, anyone?
Well that was what we called naked running
Inexperienced here, but after a certain age, the flopping and bouncing around becomes problematic.
For all sexes.
I mean obviously it means those things. Where would you keep them while naked?
I always keep music in my ass. Not technology, just the music.
A real prison wallet
That’s where I keep my binoculars!
Up youtlr ass n obviously. But I like listening to a lot of power metal when I run so I just end up cumming when I step outside.
That’s just how we did it before mp3 players
I remember portable cassette players and some mad people running with those.
Or those expensive CD players with supposedly anti “scratch/jump” features.
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.
yeah i’m not running with a belt on and a walkman would not be great for keeping my pants up.
They say it’s not what you know, it’s how soon you know it.
And how many groups of joggers you run up to join before you know it.
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”.
I thought bottemless brunch was a socially acceptable way to get shitfaced before noon on free drinks.
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.
I thought you were going to say something about naked kickboxing and I was preparing my hardiest “duh”.
We make sacrifices so other people don’t have to. I’m sure his brother would not have minded that he has a high paying job and that he can tell stupid white boys to stop making fools of themselves.
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.
Honestly with how much I sweat while running I wish I could run naked somewhere
Nothing is stopping you, I don’t think you’d get in trouble for long so in most of the world. And if it’s not where you are it’s easy to go to a forest or anywhere else that’s secluded enough.
In the US, in most states, getting caught or recognized is enough to put you on the sex offender list. Even if you’re in private. (Again, in most states.) And that means you can no longer move into a new home without informing all your neighbors that you’re a sex offender for the rest of your life, among other penalties. There’s no difference to the US between this and people who actually do sexual crimes when it comes to this punishment.
So, running. Got it.
If you have male genitalia, at least wear a kynodesmē (NSFW educational link) to stop your junk from flapping.
I did not expect the, ahem, instructional images under the “purpose” heading 😅
oh, sorry, I just added a warning.
Haha, no worries! Just caught me off guard
Looks like a trussed up chicken
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.
I need links for… research
I… Don’t know why I went back, but I had to see it for myself. That was… Interesting
Modesty and decency demanded that men who showed themselves naked in a public setting, such as athletes or actors, must conceal their glans.
Naturally.

foreskin is clothes i guess
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.
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.
I mean they have a string right there. Just loop that around over your hips to keep them up
Nah bro it’s better to lynch your dick for several hours while doing intense athletics. Trust me bro.
Rofl but I think you’re onto something. It had to be either a kink or aesthetic thing.
The smell 🫠
Letting out your kynodesmē after a long sunny day of wrestling with the boys. 😩
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.
I mean can you imagine sweating into the same clothes you then need to wear to the Spartan assembly?
Ancient Greeks placed great value on a fit body, I imagine that’s at least part of the reason why.
Because not everyone is prude and scared of the human body.
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.
I love the thought of all the original Olympians wearing diapers.
New word learned
Kynodesmē Senpai!!!
(Sorry…)
I’m a koteka guy, myself
We should definitely make this a thing …… but I seriously doubt it’s practical for running
Just secure the tip D:
one time i went to a park with a guy wearing a skirt and no panties, we improvised one of these (tied to his stocking)
Hope this guy hasn’t been rawdogging his flights.
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.
Run naked
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.
Yeah, I end up trying to run to the cadence of music, and so I don’t run to music.
To dial the clock back, I used to be a “naked” runner. Just me, my shoes, and my silkies. I’d see what time I left and what time I got home and kinda estimate my pace, but pretty much would just go run.
I got older, had kids, lost it for probably close to a decade, but got back into running again, but now I listen to audiobooks. Was podcasts for a bit, but now audiobooks. I wear bone conduction headphones, because the only concern is have with the electronics is when I see folks running with noise canceling headphones on. I just can’t get behind turning off one of my senses.
Yeah, I end up trying to run to the cadence of music, and so I don’t run to music.
Well you can always just put together a playlist of your preferred cadence for that particular workout. I’m usually a 180 steps per minute kind of runner, so I like 90 bpm songs.
Yeah, I don’t listen to much at 90bpm. Plenty of 140, and 172 is oh so close, but 90 is tough. I get songs like Ebolarama or Memphis Will be Laid to Waste that get close, but it ends up being a real undertaking getting the venn diagram of music I like and music that goes on my cadence to line up.
There’s probably some value to that playlist, but whether I can get a legit hour of music out of that is one thing, and whether I can repeat that so as to not listen to the same songs on repeat is another.
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.
You can speak for you only.
Im not trying to do otherwise. You have completely misinterpreted my post.
I didn’t misinterpret considering you don’t seem to know how possessives in English work. This is a ‘you’ problem. Not a ‘me’ problem.
Again ypu have misinterpreted my post and as a result been quite rude which you are now doubling down on.
Now you’re Speaking of rude: You completely missed my original point and decided to do your elitist stance on running. You used ‘your’ possessives and you know it.
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.
It was lecture speech in order to shame. Then you denied it like a gaslighting little troll when I called you out on it. So forgive me for giving into stooping to your level of being rude.
It’s like cyclists who ignore people who are working on a health issue and instead of recognizing everyone has their own pace to go at, you are rubbing it in with nothing is good enough unless everyone is living their life at your level and wearing spandex with the correct logos on it. The bullying competitive mean-girls of exercise.
I realise now there is no getting through to you on what my point was and I can see your intention was just to pull me into some dumb internet fight to be about you instead of at least even attempting to see my point of inclusivity in this.
Go huff your own farts troll.
No one is trolling. No one was trying to make this elitist. That was your misinterpretation.
The rest of the post is just you further being rude and missing the point at every turn.
Maybe you should just get off the internet for a bit.
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.
Where do people keep their keys?
They still wear shoes, right?
We never understood why one of the local convenience stores advertised this little arm bands that had a pouch built in roughly the size of a wallet. Then we learned the local uni had a big naked run enthusiast community and they regularly invited us you guys from the military base every year they did it.
Mostly people went barefoot but some had on slip ons. Vast majority of people had those arm bands though with an mp3 player or their phone shoved into the pouch, some girls wore sports bras, and some others had what I can only describe as a phanny pack across their middle. My group all wore the arm bands and camelbaks. Good times, would probably kill me to try that again.
