SAVAGE Love Day Pass to Nudity BY DAN SAVAGE I’m a 40-year-old straight married guy. This past weekend, I got a day pass to a nearby nudist club — you know, the kind with families, a lake, kayaks, tennis courts, that sort of thing. I was basi- cally on a scouting mission to see if it was the kind of place my wife might like to spend some time. (It was fun!) Everyone was super nice and welcoming, but I always made sure to drop a reference to my wife and kids in conversation, especially with women — it just seemed to make things go smoother, given I was a single, unaccompanied male. At one point, though, another unaccompanied male, around age 50, approached me and started talking. It became clear pretty quickly that he was fl irting. Totally fi ne, all good, people do that! But I then dropped in a reference to my wife, almost without thinking about it, because that’s what I’d been doing all day, and he ended our conversation abruptly and walked away. I felt bad about it afterward. I think he read it as me trying to communicate my straightness to him, which I wasn’t really trying to do. Or at least, I wasn’t commu- nicating anything I hadn’t been communicating to everyone else all day. Is there a good way to subtly let a guy know I’m straight and not interested without making it sound like I’m trying to get out of the conversation because he’s gay and I’m not? And is that advice any diff erent when we are both stand- ing naked in front of each other? — Needs Understanding Dan’s Evaluation You’re overthinking this. In a mixed nudist environment — a mix of queers and straights, old people and young, folks there for naked tennis and folks there for naked kayaking — you will occasionally be approached by men who are interested in your dick. So, unless you get “STRAIGHT” tattooed across your forehead (Pete Hegseth knows a tattoo artist who would be happy to do it), you’re gonna have brief interactions with gay men drawn to your dick. Now, you only had one conver- sation that ended abruptly, NUDE, and unless that guy was the kind of pushy jerk who felt entitled to your dick because he could see it — and pushy jerks don’t do well in (and aren’t welcome at) nudist resorts — I doubt he took it personally when you mentioned the wife. He hoped you might be gay, he realized you weren’t, and he moved on. You most likely talked with other men that day you didn’t realize were gay because 1. they were just making conversation and weren’t trying to get into your invisible pants (and so they kept chatting with you even after you dropped the “wife” bomb), or 2. they were trying to get into your invisible pants but stuck around after they realized you were straight because they were enjoying the conversation. All that said, you don’t need a secret handshake or subtle wink or an appalling tattoo to let people know who you are. All you need is a willing- ness to make conversation and the ability to slip relevant details about yourself into the conversational fl ow. This advice applies whether you’re wearing nothing at the nudist resort, a full gimp suit at the fetish club, or a tux at your best friend’s wedding. Got problems? Yes, you do!
