They are now nice and smooth and shaved and it's cloudy... Murphy's Law...
I have seen loads of people over the years take a spontaneous dip in the Lake here in their undies. Why not? | | | | | In your skimpies, no problem.
Leg fluff / spiders' legs. |

We were throwing the ice cubes from the wine cooler at each other. Down backs, down jeans etc. Just adults being kids. Until some stupid person threw a handful of ice on a friends laptop.
The leg fluff thing comes about because the weather has been so up and down recently. One day it's 30 degrees (or 36 yesterday) and the next it's 20 degrees. I need a bit of fur to keep me warm.

I live about 25Km outside Zürich & have several Swiss neighbours who each have private saunas & swim naked in the local river after their sauna.

There is a "Frauenbadi" (Ladies swimming baths) just next to the Bauschänzli isle near Bürkliplatz. You can always go there. I was there yesterday afternoon and at least one third of the women was topless. So most women go there if they want to sunbathe topless. For a quick dip into the water you can strip and jump into the lake / river. But then that also depends on your age as it's mostly young people that don't care about being seen topless.
Hope that helps.

There was a big national discussion recently as people were walking naked in the countryside. Now Appenzell has passed a law making public nudity illegal.
For the rest of Switzerland simple nudity is permitted as long as it is not offensive (Having erections in the back garden etc).
There will be no problem with having a quick dip in your underwear.

What's soo offensive about an errection? It's a totally natural human function. I'd be more worried if someone couldn't get an errection.

Hope that helps. | | | | | Beware....sadly/thankfully the men's loos at Bauschanzli overlook the exterior women's bathing area. So while you are having a leek you are looking at scores of tepless women.
The saying goes, one shake is acceptable more than one is perverted.
I was at Letten years back, after doing training at work. Everyone was wearing businesswear but the heat was unbelievable. Some students were also there and they solved the topless dilema by simply diving in fully clothed. It looked crazy but in hindsight was quite logical

What's important is whether he has a Baubewiligung.
