What the hell is FKK? ...and how do I make it go away?

German lesson of the day:  FKK stands for Freie Körper Kultur - loose English translation Freed body culture.

It basically means men and women (almost exclusively) over 50 find a beautiful park or lake to go to and then strip off every last article of clothing to bask in the not strong (at 52°N Latitude) sun.  Problem is, well it's twofold.
  1. No one wants to see that...even if you grew up with the culture...no one wants to see tons of saggy boobs and uncircumcised penises all over the place.  And do not say "well you just don't have to look at it" because guess what you do when it's the WHOLE park and then talk to you while you go to put your feet in the water.  
  2. I'm American, and it's true.  We are close minded and have many hangups about our bodies, but I refer you back to #1
When it's the contestants on Germany's Next Top Model out there...perhaps I'll change my tune...until then I need darker sunglasses.  I guess I'll just have to continue feeling awkward.

  1. You probably should never come to our house in GA either. Why is everyone so uptight about being naked?
