    Roasted a whole duck a few days ago. Salted the skin and let it sit uncovered in the fridge for three days. Stuffed the cavity with onions, Rosemary, garlic, and orange peels. Pricked the skin over the breasts with a pairing knife.

    Set it on a wire rack above a pan full of carrots and diced potatoes. Cooked it at about 250f for three hours. Then pulled it from the over and cranked the heat to 425. Put the duck and the veggies back on the oven on their own pans this time for about 15 minutes. Fat was completely rendered from the duck, meat was juicy and fall apart tender.

    Full latex. I don't have the ILD numbers handy, but I believe it is a 6" medium-firm base, and a 3" topper. My wife likes a really soft plus mattress, I prefer something much firmer. If I were to do it again, I'd go with three layer, and split the cores, giving me a firm side, and her a soft side. One other thing I noticed is that with a thick, soft mattress, the fitted sheet is often the thing providing support to your body, which isn't ideal. On a firm mattress with less deflection this isn't the case. Stretchy jersey sheets would likely mitigate this, but I haven't tried that yet.

    While I don't disagree with this statement completely, the less flat my body has become over the years, the more I appreciate a mattress that conforms to my various protrusions. That said, I can still get a solid nights sleep on a carpeted floor with a blanket over me.

    Thank you so much for this! I actually just patched RiF with Evanced last night as I've been unable to moderate effectively without RiF.

    Go browse nearly any web forum today. Half the page is taken up by signatures. Flair was a great compromise. A single line with a bit of info about the user.

    I look forward to every opportunity that I have to enjoy the experience, though strangely I’m less comfortable if friends or family are involved than if it’s just random strangers, mostly because of the stigma and the fact that I don’t know of anybody else in my life who feels the same as I do.

    It is interesting how people have different views on this. I'm with you, it seems easier to be naked in front of people you don't know, and will probably never see again. On the other hand, we have some friends who have been skinny dipping with us a few times, and insist that they could never go to a nude beach or resort, as they would't be comfortable. They said it was much easier for them to be naked in front of a small group of people who they knew.

    It's okay to walk away from a disagreement here before it escalates into a heated argument. And when arguments happen, please don't resort to insulting the other person, as that just escalates things even further, and pollutes the atmosphere here. Not everyone who disagrees with you, or misinterprets your meaning or intent, is acting in bad faith.

    This is a very important point. I am (was?) a mod on a subreddit with a very diverse user base, from different political, social, geographic, etc backgrounds. We try to discourage posts that would generate negative responses, but of course it would happen from time to time. In those instances the threads would get locked, and the participants chastised. What we'd explain to new mods joining our team was that discussions and arguments are fine, healthy even. When they devolve to name calling, it is probably too late, just lock the thread.

    I'm all for a good debate. A good argument even, but things need to remain civil.

    Fair enough. To be clear, I have absolutely zero interest in getting on the bus or going shopping nude. It is completely a practicality thing, not impracticality.

    And I don't think I can convince you otherwise, but for the vast majority of people, it is not a sexual desire.

    Interestingly that phase was just used in a news article "It's like being barefoot all over"

    It is interesting that you said in a bold typeface "Among consenting adults....". If it is a non-sexual thing, what is the problem? Personally, I don't want kids around on my downtime, which includes nudist destinations, but that is just because I don't like having kids around, nothing to do with the nudity part. We're programmed to assume that being naked is somehow dirty or taboo, or even dangerous.
